Deep88 – Remix EP [ASC303]
The remix EP for Deep88. Luis CL gives the deserved treatment to “Harmony”, doing a mellow balearic deep house trip. RNR transforms the collaboration between Deep88 and Robert Owens into a massive floor killer, with the perfect match of soul and electronic. Rhythm 2 Soul takes back the old “La Beija” and adds a 92ish Italian classic flavour with a version perfect for after hours. MHCrew brings “Rotation” to the next level adding lysergic synths and dreamy melody in an early Nugroove classic vibe. Jimini instead with his elegance and pureness add a mellow melancholic vibe to The Vibe.
Iron Curtis – Sweet Romancer [UV045]
For the first time Iron Curtis enters the ring over the full EP length for Uncanny Valley. There hasn’t been much of a discussion whether or not this is something for Uncanny Valley when Iron Curtis approached the four label heads with this new pile of dance floor material. These tunes are too good. Iron Curtis must have been particularly inspired by the muse while producing these four outstanding House tracks. You’ll feel a comprehensive knowledge about Dance music’s history when listening. No doubt, the Franconian who is now based in Berlin has spent a good time of analysing House music’s techniques. “Sweet Romancer” is the best example for his studio eloquence. Modulated synths, a classic bass line and a whole batch of drum ideas are combined into a wonderful track. The interplay between subtlety and vitality characterizes “Nixdorf Danse”. Plus, you won’t forget those strings. On “Triroom” he proves that he has a knack for melodies as well. Finally, “Take Me Home” should provide a lot of emotional moments on the dance floor with its dramatic piano and crescendo-like synth line.
