Nu Guinea – The Tony Allen Experiments (Afrobeat Vol.3 ) [COMET072]
Comet announce the third volume of the Afrobeat Makers Series: Nu Guinea – The Tony Allen Experiments. By re-working the original magic drum patterns from the Afrobeat master Tony Allen, Nu Guinea created a compilation of tracks which is charged by a voluminous electronic jazz-Psyche funk imprint. For this release, Comet Records teamed up with Early Sounds Recordings, the berlin label, also home to duo Berliners Nu Guinea. The Naples formed, Berlin-based duo, is a project that arose out of jam sessions, melting synthesizers with instruments, containing a handmade sound that is not aiming for perfection but genuineness. It can be understood as a steadily shaping form, always open for collaborations with other musicians.
Palms Trax – High Point On Low Ground [DKMNTL030]
Berlin-based Palms Trax continues adding to his run of quality efforts with the forthcoming release of his High Point On Low Ground EP: impressive effort number two for the Dekmantel imprint. Serving up three retro-futuristic killers, Donaldson parades his ability to touch on the many different corners of contemporary house music, whilst delivering heavyweight dancefloor standards. The title track blazes a beaten-up vocal snippet over stanked-out synths, stretched to a breaking point across a low-riding bass line. A stabbing Moroder-esque bass line dominates ‘Cloud City’, whilst ‘Paws’ equals pure and raw broken-beat bliss with a pinch of acid.
Fred P – Expressing Dark Matter EP [RCM002]
Rex Club present their second 12″, turning to one of the most respected names in deep house, Mr Fred P. Last year was perhaps the most productive so far for Fred P, and this creative drive continues apace on this Expressing Dark Matter EP. Holding it down on the A-side is “Wave Patterns” where a restrained groove plays second fiddle to some delightful pads and oh so deep chord work. The B-side pairs up the loose percussive “Continuous Sensations” with standout cut “Unbroken Circle”. Vintage Peterkin through and through.
The True Underground Sound of Rome – Minimal Vision (1992-2015) [VIBR002]
Despite only a few releases, the Electronic deep house sound of Vibraphone Records and the production team behind it had a major impact on the international 1990’s dance scene. Produced by The True Underground Sound of Rome team all the tracks included in this re-released are characterized by a heavenly atmosphere and a cinematic sound. This 12″ Vinyl EP contains the analog re-mastered & new recording version of the original 4 tracks first released in 1992 .
Byron the Aquarius – Highlife EP [SS060]
Sound Signature’s latest missive comes from Byron The Aquarius, a former Onra collaborator best known for his dusty trips into MPC beat-making territory. Here, the Atlanta-based producer successfully turns his hand to dusty, soul-flecked deep house, peppering the bumpin’ groove of “Aquarian Voyage” with a toasty bassline and twinkling Rhodes motifs. It’s the kind of hazy, jazz-flecked deep house that Sound Signature has always done better than almost anyone else. Flipside “Run Sa”, featuring the fluid and intoxicating playing of drummer Dmitri Walker, is even better, with warm chords draping themselves over snappy snares, hissing cymbals and killer fills.
Slowburn – Untitled [LDRX002]
LDRX2 features the machine driven sounds of Slowburn’s Dave Hargadon & Phil Long. Four tracks showcasing their individual talents, as well as their always on-point Slowburn productions.
Lerosa – Il Nostro Tempo [SLOMO023]
Lerosa makes his debut release on Slow Motion with ‘Il Nostro Tempo’. Lerosa has crafted four tracks of wistful, propulsive dance music. The trance inducing chug of ‘Il Nostro Tempo’ and the bittersweet synths of ‘La Monarca’ take up side-a, a pair of contemporary club cuts oozing with emotional melodies and stripped back rhythms. On side-b the the skittish rhythms and wobbly arpeggiator of ‘Ninfa’ take you through to the early hours. ‘Pompeo’, perhaps the most emotional of four nostalgically sad club jams works just as effectively tugging your heartstrings on the headphones early in the morning as it does in a smoky club late at night.
Nick Anthony – Battle Of The Beats EP [RTG004]
Q3A – Space Chamber [114DSR/Q3A-1]
Route 8 under his alias Q3A serves up a sumptuous four track EP, Space Chamber, on the Delsin label and it touches on many different styles with equally great results. ‘Lost Souls’ is first and is an expansive bit of well driven deep house with rich synths and cavernous innards that really suck you in. Next up is another serenely crafted bit of atmospheric house with dusty drums and lose hits all backed with heavenly pads and retro bass. The first of the b-side tracks is a chunky acid kicker with angelic vocals drifting up top as a controlled 303 line rips up the foreground. Spaced out and deep, driving yet emotive, it is a moving bit of club music before the B2 trips you out on a silvery electro tip with its icy lines and slap-funk snares.
Reggie Dokes – Afro Sci Fi [POEM002]
The second release on People of Earth is from another Detroit native that calls Atlanta home, Mr. Reggie Dokes. The Psychostasia Boss is back with his trademark jazzy, soulful house tracks that blend techno and house in a way that only Reggie can. Straight dance floor heat.
Brian Harden – The World Peace EP [COLT002]
Originally released back in 2001 on Chicago’s finest Nite Life Collective, The World Peace is one of Brian Harden’s personal favourites among his many releases. Born in Chicago’s southside and back by popular demand, Harden’s back catalogue is full of gems, but it was after a series of coincidences that we decided to reissue two of the tracks on the original The World Peace EP, and then add a twist in the shape of an astounding remix by SIT, the duo formed by Cristi Cons and Vlad Caia.
VA – The Dead Bullfighters [MND033]
New Minuendo various artists, after years ago Deymare & Satore are back. Finnish artist Deymare show with two deep fresh tracks called ”Meditation” and ”Rise”, while Yusuke Yamamoto makes his debut for the label.

OCH – First Contact [DREIKLANG001]
Newly established Berlin-based vinyl-only label Dreiklang dive straight into the physical world with First Contact. The label’s distinctive triangular concept is reflected in its name with Dreiklang pursuing a three-fold approach to electronic music. Each release presents three contrasting takes on the same source material, juxtaposing and unifying three particular electronic music sub-currents. For their first outing, Dreiklang call upon an international team of producers with OCH, Hydergine and Kelovolt dropping in for their respective shots of tech-house, dub techno, and dark drone techno.
DJ Sonikku – Secret Island [HAWAII002]
Lobster Theremin’s Distant Hawaii offshoot seems to have been designed to offer a colourful, vibrant alternative to its’ parent label’s dystopian techno. Certainly, the bubbly and deliciously positive fare served up here by debutant Tony “DJ Sonikku” Donson perfectly fits the bill. Apparently it was partly created using a Sega Megadrive, and there’s definitely a 16-bit feel to the whistle-happy percussion, drawn-out chords and cheery melodies of “Secret Island”. The other two tracks are equally Balearic in outlook, variously utilizing sampled slap-bass notes, synthesized steel drum melodies, classic New Jersey organs, and eyes-closed solos in a bid to squeeze maximum sun-drenched positivity from each moment.
Regelbau – RB02 [RB002]
Second installment by this fine new movement from Arhus, Denmark. Properly doped out deep house jams.
