Ron Trent – Raw Footage [EB001CD]

December 11, 2012July 4, 2025 hipodromealbum, chicago house, deep house, detroit house, electric blue, ron trentLeave a comment

The tone always makes the music. But only those who actually make the sound? An ancient-house-avantgarde dream has always been there since the legendary Warehouse days of Ron Hardy, to bring more sounds and tones constantly to an independent, repetitive development. And thus beyond the limits of an executive creative artist on the otherwise purely commercial sense what we call in common beyond imagination. “Raw Footage”, the latest album concoction of Chicago house legend Ron Trent on his new imprint Electric Blue works in the best sense of Stanislav Lem heroes Trurl & Klapauciusals, cruising like those two metal brains frantically invented by the universe of 4/4-Sounds to get insane tracks out of the new material matter located there, and put them together to brand new ones. This trackwerk varies as well as of course between classical Chi-Town to the context of contemporary, epic house dubs and lives in a perfidious manner from the interaction of various computer modules that constantly spits out new and exciting interactions.

Azymuth – Avenida Das Mangeuiras [JD024]

December 10, 2012April 14, 2021 hipodromeazymuth, deep house, far out recordings, ltj, slow house, theo parrishLeave a comment

Two timeless classics by Brazilian jazz-funk pioneers Azymuth in fresh new interpretations.Theo’s SS Translation of ”avendias das mengeuiras” is an edit that keeps the groove flowing and thoroughly translates all the energy and impetus that made this track such a delight when it first saw release back in the day. LTJ Xperience (aka Luca Trevisi) re joins the FAR OUT ranks for a second outing after his stellar remix in the Far Out Monster Disco Orchestra series. This time LTJ’s slo-mo disco revision of “Partido Alto’ takes the B-side of this release into a grove laden funkathon of nigh on epic proportions. The slap bass line of the original sits deep in the back beat groove Trevisi crafted in this stomper of a remix and delivers a true homage to a band who knew how to get down with the best of them.

Julius Steinhoff – So Glad [SMALLVILLE033]

Julius Steinhoff comes up with his second solo 12inch on Smallville “So Glad”. Steinhoffs soloworks strike even more voluptuary with slightly rapturous pleasure. ‘So Glad’ makes slick moves with sparse chords and a frisky machine beat revolving limber square bass. ‘Slow Movement’ slips down a gear into robust Chicago jack mode and ‘All Of A Sudden’ gets all minimal and sinuous next to the plush late night swerve of ‘Speak No Evil’.

Genius of Time are back on Aniara. This release features two of the highlights from their current set: A-side ”Tuffa Trummor Med Synt” is a New Jersey House bomb, whereas ”Tuffa Trummor Med Röst” on the flip follows up last years ”Science Fiction” with an off the hook beat, expertly processed vocals and a strings breakdown reminiscent of that mid-90’s inner city vibe.

Cover art - Nyra: Like This

Release from Nyra on Freund Der Familie imprint. A bass-heavy and shuffly monster of a track, “Like This” is bound to ignite any dancefloor, “M For Mother” is equally good with killer chord stabs and a heavy sub bass, while Sven Weisemann rounds the release off with a characteristically deep remix of “M For Mother”.

PITTSBURGH TRACK AUTHORITY - Giza

The Pittsburgh Track Authority trio of Thomas Cox, Preslav Lefterov and Adam Ratana continue to flourish, here joining the Argot ranks. “Giza” and its B Side accompaniment demonstrate a charming flexibility to their collective production palette. “Giza” is a resplendent slice of 2-step, the swift rhythmic touches blessed by luminescent melodic patterns and rapid orchestral edits. Complementing this, the trio engage their love of electro with the squiggly subaqueous flex of “Crosstown Blvd”.

Fudge Fingas – Untytled EP [FIREC009]

November 15, 2012December 6, 2022 hipodromedeep house, detroit, firecracker recordings, fudge fingas, linkwoodLeave a comment

Three new tracks, and the third in a row of releases for the prolific Mr. Fingas. Backed up by fellow Firecracker, Linkwood, this originally came out as a limited 50 copy run release early this year and sold out within minutes. Fingas kicks off proceedings with “Untyltled” – a record that could only come out of the Firecracker camp. Taking inspiration from Detroit and Chicago but giving it that distinctly Firecracker sound – heavy on the keyboard motifs, high fidelity, musically accomplished and well produced. Meandering bleepy melodies contrast with gliding synthlines and a ravey, M1-type bassline. The movement between sections is seamless and will take people on an intoxicating musical journey. Linkwood steps up on side B, “Secret Value” has mysterious, seductive key changes and atmospheres; 16 bar acid sections building up and dropping into lush, blessed-out micro-solos of synthesized flute and exquisite pads. A sonic buffet served to perfection. Finally we get one of Firecrackers trademark interludes, “Minus 616” is a beautifully crafted, neo-classical piano piece. Reverberated into the distance, the piano playing is skillful and emotive and the strange outboard effect it’s processed through gives it that otherworldly, tripped-out vibe.

A brilliant portfolio of ocean deep productions from Soiree Records. Leading off, Detroit’s own Drivetrain rocks the floor from the first dropped beat. But the real surprise is the evolving melodies submerged in infectious groove. Rubba J, hailing from Brussels, debuts on Soiree with his track “Reflections” – a meticulous syncopation dancing through relentless rhythm. Absent for over a decade, Country Gents from London, UK, return to Soiree with “Need Me,” a Club-tested track with powerful vocals. Paris based Professor Inc brings another earth quaking, body-shaker entitled “Luvin” fusing clever chord progressions and tweaked-out vocals. Aqua Marine – redefining the fathomless depth of the underground.
