‘Dionne’ is a one of a kind rarity. Osunlade pulls and draws from the lovely days of old, paying homage to house music as it once was, when vocal edits were the vibe and pulse of an emerging sound. With traditional bata drums, filters and just good old fashioned groove on top of groove. The b-side is an ode to the bossa sound with a pulsating heart beat, funky melodies and smooth rhodes topped with a quirky yet fun vocal asking the question “what gets you high?” It’s music here that gets us high.

Reno Wurzbacher – The Love You Got [COLOMBAGE003]

https://clone.nl/platen/artwork/large/plaatimage28490.jpg

The house leaning off shoot of Fachwerk Records hits release number three here with a two track release from Reno Wurzbacher, the ‘housemate cousin’ of the crew who has already turned up on the label a couple of times. First up is the coy melancholia and pillow-y deep house of ‘The Love You Got’. It’s a grainy cut with grey scale textures and sultry voices contained with in the sparse groove. It strikes a nice late night mood before German master of the deep Sven Weisemann turns in his own remix. This version is more upright and weighty, with bulbous synth lines dropping into the mix, which is already awash with rippling pad puddles. Early in the evening, late in the night, either way both tracks here hit their intended mark perfectly….

Ctepeo ’57 – The Missouri Breaks EP [TART026]

CTEPEO '57 - The Missouri Breaks EP

CTEPEO ’57 (STEREO ’57) are a newly formed duo. They’ ve been around for a while and you might know them under different aliases. Their obsession with 1950s culture brought them together and they own a massive collection of Marlon Brando memorabilia. The 1950s were a decade of mystery and hoaxes, the cold war, the space race and the establishment of NASA. CTEPEO ’57 insists the cold war isn’t over and claim Russian astronauts landed on Mars in the late 90s to discover something truly amazing… It all seems far-fetched but who cares, when they make music like this.

Art Of Tones – Take Me Higher EP [WPH019]

https://clone.nl/platen/artwork/large/plaatimage28870.jpg

We Play House 019 brings us Art Of Tones with Lauer remixes. Art Of Tones aka Llorca provides in stylish fashion with two original tracks on the A-side. ‘Take Me Higher’ is vintage deep house music that will get any floor moving. Disco and funk-infused rhythms are paired with a diva-like vocal sample and a bassline to die for. ‘Damped’ explores that territory even further, and uses a sample from a certain well-known record that shall remain unnamed her. On the B-side it’s all Lauer in fine form, delivering not one but two remixes, each of them providing a different take on ‘Take Me Higher’. The ‘Al’ remix is a little deeper, and the ‘Bert’ remix will be the more instant dance floor piece, but you really should play both of them.

Kyodai – Moving (Basic Soul Unit Remixes) [LTX002]

https://i0.wp.com/images.junostatic.com/full/CS2287207-02A-BIG.jpg

Toronto’s Stuart Li aka Basic Soul Unit has made not one, not two but three interpretations of Kyodai’s Moving. Some deeper & dark electronic house biz. Basic Soul Unit’s ‘BSU Basement Mix’ is a typically taut affair with the rhythm swinging, great panned synth hissing, compressed piano lines and a rumbling bassline. Flip for the ‘BSU Attic Mix’ which swings less, nailing everything to a wobbling sound system bassline and stiff rhythm track.

https://clone.nl/platen/artwork/large/plaatimage28471.jpg

‘The Same Thing’ EP opens with the title track which kicks pretty damn sweet with Loleatta Holloway freestyling over strummed acoustic guitar, live-sounding bass, Rhodes jamming on top of a tight groove. There’s also a dub version included on the B-side. Last but not least, ‘The Great Sgatmi’ is a jazzy and bumpy house take with lot’s of samples perfectly balanced.
