September 6, 2024September 5, 2024 hipodromedeep house, detroit house, psychostasia recordings, re-release, red d, reggie dokes, reissue, we play house recordingsLeave a comment

Over 20 years of friendship and Reggie Dokes and Red D are still at it. Their first joint E.P. was released on Red D’s We Play House Recordings label and kicked off the label’s much-lauded U.S. Series in 2019. Moving back across the pond we now find Reggie and Bart sharing a release on Reggie’s legendary Psychostasia imprint. On the A-side Reggie is bringing his trademark sound and taking it deeper than ever. Moody melancholy paired with solid beats and drums to take you into deep house heaven. On the flip Red D brings his Detroit inspiration into deep and swinging techno territory reminding us of Scan 7 and the likes with a vocal that gives a respectful nod to an Underground Resistance classic.

New edition of a classic Running Back record. Molded into extended house and disco versions by Gerd Janson. Originally released in 2006 as the the fourth outing of the label and the second (and his last one to date) of the elusive artist, it is still as remarkable as on its first release. Carefully rescued from the original DAT tapes, all re-edited by Gerd Janson and remastered by Lopazz, it’s available again in a clear and present portraiture of its original intent.

ManooZ on Chiwax with Juno Dreams EP. This release is for those smoother out chill-out house sessions on the dancefloor. The title track is a future classic, dreamy, like early 90s Italian ambient house. ‘Boxin’ With GOD’ is melodic and nice while ‘Galaxies’ is more soulful but still deep. A bit more upbeat and techy you could say. ‘Glow’ is possibly the most underrated here, lovely track! Overall, the Juno Dreams EP is a solid EP that is sure to please fans of deep house, ambient house and Balearic styled house music. Smooth and cool is the order of the day.

Pittman returns on his own imprint with a release that has been circulating as a white label. The Detroit badman does the right thing and gives it an official pressing. A-side jam ‘Pick Yourself Up’ (feat Crystal Procedures) is dusty, loopy, trippy house with swirling vocals adding to the late-night feel, then ‘Ode 2 Juan’ slows things down to smoky basement house vibes with melancholic pads bringing hints of light to the muggy atmosphere.

More about the world has changed than not in the decade since dance production dyad Frank & Tony, the project of house legends Francis Harris and Anthony Collins, released their last full-length record, 2014’s “You Go Girl”. Despite, or perhaps in spite of, this shifting landscape, house music has managed to stay fundamentally reliable (either a bug or its greatest feature, depending on who you ask). Where previously, Frank & Tony have been celebrated for their contemplative, studious approach to the genre, with 2024’s “Ethos”, the Brooklyn/Biarritz-based duo return amidst metastatic cultural upheaval to prove out those scholarly credentials — with an album that serves to remind listeners why dancefloors and liberatory politics consistently share the language of movements and revolutions.

Monty Luke – Nightdubbing LP [REKIDS237]

Rekids presents ‘Nightdubbing’, the second album from Monty Luke. The Black Catalogue boss and former Planet-E label manager Monty Luke eﬀortlessly traverses deep house and techno rife with bass-rattling low-end and experimental rhythms. It is no surprise, then, that the album is heavily inspired by ‘70s and mid-80s dub reggae, seeing Luke incorporate and modernise the genre’s iconic rhythms, spoken word poetry, and spacious bursts of harmony across the LP. Monty Luke spent ten formative years in Detroit, where the city’s unique musical spirit inﬂuenced him immensely. He has since distilled this experience into the music he has released. His raw, dub-infused sound comes with plenty of futuristic designs, and ‘Nightdubbing’ continues to push the boundaries of his music.
