Mock & Toof – My Head [TINC006]
Mock & Toof are back with a new album “Temporary Happiness”. The first material to emerge from the new album is called ‘My Head’& it features vocals from young Swiss artist Ghostape. In a nutshell it’s one little catchy chugger with a heavy analog sound. The beats of the Boss DR-55 & the inimitable bass of the TB-303 lay the foundation. Clavs, bell lines and synth sweeps combine with Ghostape’s repetitive dubbed out vocals for a unique sounding electro-dub-funk inspired cut. Juju & Jordash take snippets of the vocal & weave them into an amazing raw, deep, techno remix that only they seem to be able to do at the moment. Lauer takes on the album track ‘Confusion Time’ and transforms it into a killer deep house number.
Lauer – Mascat Ring Down [BIS004]
Lauer’s “Macsat Ring Down” follows an elliptic pattern fit for infinite play on any space floor. On “Mascat”, analog space junk flies in and out of an orbital framework built upon nearly nine minutes of bubbling bass and peripheral percussion. Space boogie at its finest. An anti-gravity exercise in repetition, Lee Douglas remixes “Macsat” for the flipside. Reaching a zen state through mantra-like looping, Douglas reworks Lauer’s sounds from a delicate and pensive place to a muscular and propulsive groove. Most if not all of the synthesized glitter from the original is eventually forgone in favor of blasted percussion and an unrelenting bassline.
Hardrock Striker – Into The Grove #1 [LAXC002]
Skylax Records brings, for this new release serie, a very hot project : one of the most influential & mysterious producer from now : Jason Grove teamed up with Hardrock Striker, delivering 4 heavyweight Hardrock Striker classics revamped by deep house master Jason Grove.

Ricardo Miranda presents Latin Soul Brothas – The Smooth Beatdown EP [NERO021T]
Ricardo Miranda returns to Neroli with this fresh 4 tracker mixing the deepness of house with his Latin origins. ‘808 Signatures’ is raw and deep as it could get, ‘Voices’ features once again fellow Chicago star Glenn Underground for a classic Latin Soul Brothas jam. On the flipside Ricardo’s homage to the classic ‘Faces’ drum track, and finally a deep and long journey into sentimental house called ‘Mental Samurai’ featuring Hernan Cronner.

DJ Jus Ed – 50ty & Lookin Good! [UQ047]
Given his ultra-prolific work rate, there was only ever going to be one way for Jus’ Ed to celebrate his fiftieth birthday – by recording and releasing his seventh full-length proper (his second this year). For those who’ve followed his career to date, 50ty and Looking Good will hold few surprises, but that’s not to say that it’s not worth a listen. His particular brand of deep house is never less than beguiling, while there are enough forays into other areas to keep it interesting. Check, for example, the sax-laden “Man With The Red Face” style wig-out “Becky’s Jam”, or the raw, analogue acid of “OHMY”; clearly, there’s life in the old dog yet.
Torquato & Boghosian – Torquato & Boghosian Remixes [YSD046]
Yoruba presents a selection of diverse and interesting remixes for Torquato and Boghosian’s acclaimed debut. First up, Afefe Iku delivers a much deeper, weightier version of Paradice laden with heavy synth stabs and woody percussive elements. Aybee takes When U Touch Me nto much deeper realms, stripping back the original groove . It’s remarkably simple but flawlessly executed, the chord motif working effortlessly alongside the crisp hats. Atone tackles Zulu Girl and in the process unravels a much more mechanical track, a massive mid-tempo thud dominating over delayed cymbal crashes and ghostly vocals.
VID & Andrew Grant – Inlove / Fear [WRR025]
VID is a new project by Romanian young talent Sorin Rastoaca, know also as EGAL 3. Here he teams up with his friend Andrew Grant for some refreshing beats. A collaboration between Andrew and Sorin really grabs you without letting go with it’s intense subby rumbling groove and tight dubby transitions. “Dinamic” and “Inlove” are testaments of Sorin’s musical integrity yet at early age, and shows obvious inspiration from classic American techno, and modern dub techno, yet still delivering something that is housy and totally current.
DJ Spider / Hakim Murphy – Audio Tagz EP [SYNAPSIS006]
Audio Tagz is inspired by graffiti street art & translated into tones as they tag your eardrums. These throw ups are their signatures, as they take you on an adventure of techno, beatdown, deep house & experimental sounds.
VA – Epic Disco Vol. 2 [ROLLER008]
Prins Thomas, Mark E, Bulgari and Ultra City all feature on Epic Disco Vol 2, the long overdue return to the twelve inch game from the Rollerboys imprint. Label supremos Ultra City aka Elias & Yourhighness open proceedings in excellent fashion with the resplendent “Delta” a richly rewarding exercise in effervescent Chicago house based around instantly uplifting piano tones and loose cascading Roland 707 patterns – instant dancefloor uplift guaranteed on this one. Merc boss Mark E follows with the deeper sounds of “Walk With Me” utilising a familiar vocal refrain amidst a musical arrangement that pairs subtle elements such as heart warming chords with the more intense synths. Flip over and Prins Thomas introduces a lesson in the art of infinite build via the primal, stripped down 303 jam “Stockholm Express” which has us rather excited for his forthcoming new album. Rollerboys regular Bulgari eases down the tempo to finish with a echo laden electro boogie future classic in the shape of “I Was On”.
Jason Fine – Kontra Musik Mixes [KM010]
As one of the younger breed of Detroit talents, Jason Fine is still just starting to get a foothold, despite having a good few years of releases behind him. His Kontra Musik relationship has proven to be the most fruitful, and this remix package capitalizes on that with two top shelf commissions. A Made Up Sound brings his unmistakable broken house swing to bear, with warming subs and thick swathes of pad and melody twisted to Dave Huismann’s crafty designs. Heinrich Muller brings the Drexciyan vibes in abundance with his punchy electro stance that remains peerless after all these years.
Regen – Spring Toy / Lindberg / Shudder [HKR007]
“Spring Toy” is an elegant A-side crafted with classic house influences in mind. Meandering casually before beginning its ascent into deepspace territory, Detroit styled synth lines and intricate melodies hang above a funky undertone which hooks from the off. Continuing its cosmic trajectory, the EP’s B-sides set their coordinates into dub techno regions. “Lindberg”s quirky astral synths and futuristic soundscape trigger a dream-like state…think sci-fi beams and interplanetary navigation and you’re half way there. “Shudder” is a more up-tempo sonic excursion, propelled by its galloping techno rhythms. The ebb and flow of trippy pads and crystalline waves play to the senses.
Transilvanian Galaxi – You Have Always Been The Caretaker [ACIDO010]
Atmospheric House/Techni from Transilvanian Galaxi. “You Have Always Been The Caretaker” on the A-side is over 9 minutes of subterrainian atmospheres and mournful strings, one for the instrospective moments in the early hours. On the flip “Sequence 2” and “God DR-55” head even futher away from the dancefloor (though in the right heads they’d sound fantasic, especially on a big system) and towards the contemplative and esoteric.
Tony Lionni – FACT mix 344
Roaming – Believe In Reflecting [SMALLVILLE031]
Roaming are Christopher Rau and Moomin as a Team. “Believe In Reflecting” is a result of a spontaneous jam-session in Berlin, without the intention to start a new project. Smallville co-owners Smallpeople aka Dionne & Julius Steinhoff step in with a trippy remix on B1.
