The result is this fine four tracker, which includes material recorded by the twosome at their home studio in Rome in 1990 and ’91 (pre-dating their two original EPs, which first landed in 1992 and ’93). There’s naturally loads to set the pulse racing, from the syn-tom heavy deep house beats, sustained chords and twinkling melodic motifs.

Arriving almost 35 years since he wowed the world with his game-changing debut, the Afterlife EP, Lift Off was inspired by Trent’s desire to ‘let the imagination speak for itself’ while exploring the diverse influences that have shaped his unique musical perspective. A departure from his previous album, 2022’s downtempo masterpiece as Warm, What Do The Stars Say To You, the 10-track set features a mixture of epic instrumentals, inspired collaborations and vocal cuts whose music was written with certain singers in mind. While it features music that ripples with the experienced producer’s familiar aural trademarks – rich rhythms, warm chords, impeccable instrumentation, inspired arrangements, and lashings of heady hand percussion – it also consciously explores a variety of sounds and tempos, in the process blurring the lines between dance music’s past, present and future. It’s a vision, in his words, of what dance music can become.

Dan Piu and Grant’s Theory of Movement project has served up gold for lovers of heady tech and minimal. After something of a hiatus, it is now back on When The Morning Comes with more of the sort of tuneage that is going to quickly sell out and soon become the ID request du jour at your favourite underground parties. These are of course sophisticated sounds from the silky house bumps of ‘Now & Then’ with its seductive vocal allure to the throwback 90s sounds of ‘Over Time’ (Acid Mix). ‘Basis’ (Foundation mix) is another immediately classic house sound with analogue and dusty drums and zippy melodies next to more smooth chords. ‘Motion Of Objects’ shuts down with a more zoned-out vibe and widescreen melodic architecture for late nights.
The prodigious producer Felipe Gordon returns for the fourth time on Clone Royal Oak. This time with an expansive six-track release that showcases his signature blend of rich, groove-laden tracks.

Showing once again why Felipe is at the forefront of house music right now.
