Perseus Traxx / Aroy Dee – Hope EP [PF001]

First appearance of this small-scale vinyl imprint from the east of Holland with a split-release by the well-respected Aroy Dee and Perseus Traxx. Both of them are known for their deep analogue house music productions with raw and sharp edges, but most recognizable in their work is the presence of true emotions. This will also be the distinctive element for the labels future output: emotive electronic music with the soul deep within. Honest and unpolished music that is inspired by everyday life, whether it comes from pain or joy. Perseus Traxx kicks off with an immersive, slow building and uplifting track, followed by a moody but hypnotic and slightly acid inspired piece. Aroy Dee takes care of the flip-side, with a dreamy and atmospheric track, and one raw, surprising and energetic cut.

Tom Demac – Obstructing the Light EP [GT004]

Tom Demac makes the step up to the Glass Table imprint with a far ranging three track EP. ‘Obstructing The Light’ is a lazy and moody soup of swirling deep house. Dreamy voices drift like clouds above a chugging kick clap combo as light finger melodies keep things from growing all too dour. ‘Four Leaves Right’ is a quicker joint, but the moods are still studiously sombre and melancholic. There’s an irresistibly swinging arc to each kick that really sweeps you up, along with a deep, buried, bobbling Bristol bass-like b-line to keep things firmly rooted on the dancefloor despite the dream-pop vocals and layers of intricate percussion.

In his continuing quest to explore ever broader and more ambitious musical territories than those records from his existing, already expansive, yet still relatively young back catalogue have done, Konotop’s spiritual warrior Vakula brings us the latest installment of Leleka. This time, it is with the aid of the pan global operation known as Ashes To Machines aka Lionel Corsini (DJ Oil) & Jeff Sharel. Remixes propel the organic sounding originals further towards the future, with Vakula, Ji Dru & Sandra Nkake and Juju & Jordash all adding their own unique interpretations, while equally showing the depth of understanding they all have for more esoteric musical forms.

Moomin – She Said She Won’t Be That Long Away [AIM008]

Moomin is back on Aim with a beautiful 3- Track EP. The A Side „Beautiful as you are“ starts of with a fierce and somewhat grungy groove, slowly turning into a wonderful dreamy yet joyful piece of house music. „Don‘t fly if it‘s foggy“ and the EPs title track „She said she won‘t be that long away“ on the B-Side are another two brilliant accomplishments in deepness.

Torn Hawk – Tarifa [LIES011.5]

Shimmering VHS haze from NYC’s Torn Hawk aka Luke Wyatt. The world of Torn Hawk lies somewhere in-between slo-mo cosmic balearic sunrise/sunset music, kraut experimentations. All around though, Wyatt’s music feels like getting busted watching scrambled static ridden cable porno in your aunt’s wood paneled basement while smoking a pack of stolen Newports. Four amazing tracks on this limited debut release.

Rio Padice – A Vision Of Dream [HUDD038]

PADICE, Rio - A Vision Of A Dream (Life On Saturno VI)

Rio Padice makes a return to Hudd Traxx with a sublime assortment of deep grooved gems in the shape of ‘A Vison Of A Dream’ EP. The first track ‘Guabonito’ sets the tone with a selection of spacey synths and a BPM that teeters just on the right side of chilled with a riff that sounds just like sunshine. Following it ‘Sunset on Bolsena Lake’ maintains the tempo on the lower side of the scale but with a hook-y bassline that will ensure all eyes are down on the dancefloor. ‘The Pains of Sleep’ then changes pace, bringing you back into club-stomp territory yet still maintaining that swirling deepness we all know and love at Hudd Traxx…finally to round things off there are trippy grooves and thumping beats in the form of ‘Xanadu’.
