Prof Delacroix – Build Her Remixes [DBRV010]
As the Deepblak Ten year Anniversary continues, it’s time to revisit Prof. Delacroix’s deep classic “Build Her”. Beautiful classic deep house tracks with a rawer edge wich takes away the over kill on artificial sweetnes. Comes with Afrikan Science, Fred P and Aybee remixes.
Nicholas – Free To Be [4LUX1105]
The second single from his forthcoming flux album, Still Playing House, is a beast. “Free To Be” is a house-submerged affair, as low-slung as they come and in a classic Murk vibe. Berliner Hunee delivers a spot on remix on the title track and brings it into deeper territory. He is transforming the original mix into something fuller, warmer and almost epic. “Down To Nothing” is another slow pumping house nugget. With its soothing and soaring synths, ebb-and-flow arrangement, inviting melody and vocals, this is another bomb fitting every house set. Things get even slower with “Why Don’t You”. A great house tune with a sensuous vibe.
Simon Weiss – Yesterday Is Around [HOMETAPING011]
Simon Weiss’ debut solo release on the Hometaping imprint called “Yesterday Is Around”. There is an undeniable warmth to the expertly looped strings and delicate vocal sample that will turn many an ear, whilst the rhythms and textures are delightfully fuzzy. Alongside it Weiss flexes his percussive muscle on the expertly poised beatdown of “Bird Movement” which is notable for some excellent pitch shifted melodics, whilst “Body Signature” is delightfully sloppy.
Rio Padice – The Return Of The Luchador [TSUBALTD005]
New Tsuba Limited release from Rio Padice with ‘The Return Of The Luchador’. The Luchador story continues with 4 more tracks of timeless, raw and melodic house music all made with machines.
Marvin Dash – Workshop 14 [WORKSHOP014]
Marvin Dash aka Ronald Reuter lays down three authentically deep and heavy grooves for Workshop. A-side is suave, mid-tempo nod to Detroit Beatdown inspirations with that effortless sense of German finesse and soul control. Flipside there’s a disco-looping killer, before finishing on a weirder, left-field boogie-House number.
Efdemin – Chicago Remixes 2 [DIAL061]
The second edition of Efdemin’s Chicago series, featuring four remixes by Deadbeat, Fred P, Rndm and Efdemin himself.

Simoncino – The Warrior Dance EP Part #3 [LAX125]
Skylax Records welcomes their 25th release, with Simoncino for the “Warrior Dance III”. This EP features on A Side the wonderfull “Warriors dance” (chicago’s jackin heaven’s not so far we guess), “Tropical vibe” that’s got this kind of disco feeling without sounding (thx god) nu-disco & to end “Hey detroit” that speaks for itself . On the B side, we have 2 remixes, one from Ron Trent & another atmospheric & deep as hell one from Chez Damier’s morning after mix part II.
Kowton – Field Recording 031
Manuel Tur – About To Fall [MILD0126]
Latecomer – Cosmic Cart [MCDE1208]
Two deep house tracks from Latecomer on this new Motor City Drum Ensemble release. Latecomer, a former group with its roots in Moldova, formed by Eugen Kara, Cristofor Aldea-Teodorovici and with interventions from Octavian Cotet. A culmination of simple yet banging soundscapes, traditional approaches and composition linked together with modern rhythms and beats – a soulful tiny particule of the expansive musical universe.
Cottam – Deep Deep Down EP [AUS1135]
Cottam’s debut on the Aus imprint, with Deep Deep Down continuing the lineage of thick set mid tempo acid explorations. Sprawling luxuriously across the length of the A Side, the title track builds effortlessly from the spacious grooves and alien chug of the opening moments into a sumptuous array of floating sax, twisting acid lines and forever floating pads. Step forward Vakula completely realigning the feel of the track despite retaining some core elements. Cottam completes this excellent 12″ with the quite aptly named “Twang”, a seven minute boogie burner.
Kez YM – Stride EP [FACES1210]
Kazuki Yamaguchi aka Kez YM brings 4 excellent Detroit House beat-down tracks on Faces Records.
