Kelpe – Monte Verita [DBADUB002]
Kelpe makes his first outing on Don’t Be Afraid as part of their coveted DBA DUBS series. Monte Verit sees the London based beat veteran at his housiest (sic) yet. The track sports a low slung four to the floor and a deadly analogue funk bassline. Kevin Reynolds improvises on the original with a more upbeat outsider house groove and an acid line guaranteed to bring the dancefloor to its knees.
Chris Turner – FlyLOVE [REBLTD001]
Mark Hand – Remind Me [SIG.MMXI.VIII]
Take a twilight drive down the A19 with the billowing steam of Redcar steel works in the distance and the exotic promise of the lights of Teeside’s chemical industry on the horizon. Wash away that ennui with these three deep and soulful techno & house cuts from UK producer Mark Hand. A wonderfully produced; debut vinyl 12”, direct from the moody streets of Hartlepool, filled with all the analogue warmth and low frequencies required for late night dancefloors and early morning reflections.
MarcMan – Rasarit EP [AOS002]
Brand new sub-label of the long-standing and highly respected Adult Only imprint from Chris Carrier. This release features the talentated young Romanian MarcMan.
Mountain Range – From You I Have Been Absent In The Spring [ANIARA008]
New release on Aniana with another new artist on the Swedish imprint, Mountain Range aka Christoffer Berg from Gothenburg. There must be something special in the water that these guys are drinking.
VA – 001 [STUDIOR001]
Studio R is a new label from the minds behind the identically named Internet TV station based in Berlin. The mission for the imprint runs parallel to the goal of the station: to document modern club culture. Thus, we will release a series of vinyl split EPs featuring famous names showcased alongside new talents. The first EP presents New York-raised but now Berlin-based Fred P, who shares the A-side with another recent New York-to-Berlin transplant, Eric Cloutier, here making his awaited production debut on vinyl. For the B-side, Moscow is in the spotlight with offerings from well-regarded Russian talents Anton Kubikov and Korablove. It’s a perfect type of deep for summer 2013.
Magic Mountain High – Live At Freerotation [WORKSHOPYY1]
The second release by Magic Mountain High on Workshop , featuring two long building and trippy tracks recorded live at Freerotation festival.
Ksoul & Muteoscillator – Soul Hell [DKMNTL013]
Italians Ksoul & Muteoscillator are back with some more dusty and degraded sounding tracks, this time for Holland’s irrepressible Dekmantel imprint. There are three new cuts in total from the pair, each exploring a slightly different yet always knackered house groove.
Joey Anderson – Above The Cherry Moon [AVE66-01]
The launch of Avenue 66, a new imprint from the ACID TEST camp. A dark acid laced house cut with vocals by Ebony Ugo backed with a remix by Ukrainian producer Vakula, who provides a dreamy lush remix and ”Auset”, a monster head trip made for dancefloors and headphones alike.
James Booth – Reunion [SILK053]
Memory-taper James Booth trickled through his teen years in Manchester tracking melancholia house shadows and overcast bedroom bangers on a home-rigged dictaphone/Tascam arrangement, and though he’s since upgraded his studio assemblage the essential agenda remains unchanged. “Reunion” is his debut, documenting ten of his choicest Northern isolation reveries, a Polaroid-hued tube-ride-turned-rhythm-odyssey through 150 shades of grey, from the nocturnal ice-house jazz of “End Tipsy” to the foggy, 5 AM club deja vu, “Seeing Voices.” An alternately hushed and hypnotized journey to the end of the night, in search of pleasures known and unknown.
Leo Gunn – Sea Changes EP Vol. 1 [DEEPEX029]
As an intermittent feature over at Deep Explorer, Leo Gunn makes his second vinyl appearance for the label appearance with some typically astute deep house ponderings, starting off with the lush undulations of “Dancing With Dreams”. “Come Down” gets into a tripped-out mind state of a different nature with its soulful key progressions, although still very much in that elegant vein championed by Deep Explorer. “Open Spaces” brings equal amounts of wistful atmospherics, although over a slightly more pronounced beat, while “Quiet” sees Dubbyman getting in on a reconstruction that lets cheeky synth flutes amongst other things dart into the blissed-out mix.
Mihai Popoviciu – Sortable EP [PR005]
Mihai Popoviciu joined the team for the fifth vinyl release of the Popcorn Records’ fabric. The record starts with Sortable, evolving with a deep vibe around a subtle patch that conveys you in weightlessness. The whole theme is sprinkled with a synth that unconsciously reminds you the cue of a famous pink comic of your childhood. D’Julz made a rework using all the elements in a total different way, focusing on the drum’s effects. On the B face, Blur close this records with melodic patches and slight strings flying around a deep bass for a perfect summer result.
Gaetano Battista – Music For The Soul #1 [BOE021]
Joey Anderson – Act Of Speech EP [AC002]
Vakula – Bandura 002 [BANDURA002]
HVL – Across The Sun [HOUSEWAXLTD001]

Trinidadian Deep – Rebirth EP [PP001]
The first release for Plastik People Recordings. Two tracks, featuring ‘Tree Of Life’ which originally came out on Ron trent’s Future Visions Records & a new and raw late night track called Deep Thoughts. Two remixes come in the form of French Life Recorder & Seed Records man Bradford James. Life Recorders version is deep yet heady & continues from the original tree of life with the vocals and deep synced chords. Bradford James remix turns it on its head with deep congo groves and club drums.
Ugly Drums – Saturn Memories [QUINTESSE034]
It’s from the man with a great feeling for raw beats and deep sounds! Its from the man who pretends to be ugly, but we all know: ugly is beautiful! Its the debut album of Ugly Drums called Saturn Memories. Eight tracks of pure deep raw bliss with a slight TP feel feat. collaborations with Lady Blacktronika and a remix of Pablo Valentino.
John Daly – One More City EP [SECRET010]
Three deep, spheric house tunes by Ireland’s John Daly on Secretsundaze. Glorious string loaded tracks with nice basslines and warm pads. All tracks have a nice melancholic and Detroit-ish techno feel.
