Eve White – Bribe ‘Em With Candy [PSPV003.3]
Perspectiv Records kick off their 2011 vinyl releases with the ”Bribe ’em With Candy” EP. This is the debut on the label for German duo Motec and Daniel Gelbe under their production pseudonym, Eve White, featuring some exquisite deep house tracks.
Kyle Hall – Oats B So DEEP Mix
Session View – Royal Road [ENV003]
Classy Dub House grooves from Session View for Enypnion. Both the original ‘Orange’ and the ‘Pressure Mix’ are carved with pneumatic hi-hats and aqua-swung bass and measured matrix of FX. The title tracks is more idiosyncratic, unusually pulling up the kick drum anchor a quarter through the track and leaving us in cold outer dub space with only a sharp hi-hat and absorbing atmospheres for the duration.
Laak – The Beyond EP [AUS002]
The second offering from Laak on their Austere imprint is another defined four tracker. “Back of Beyond” kicks things off, a sincere heads down jam combining Latin percussion elements with a killer bass line and warm chords. The second track, “Don’t Ever Leave” is a heartfelt lament on the feeling of loss, slowing the tempo down. On the flip, “Cosmic Causeway” offers something a little different although keeping with the warm pads, this time the use of a spaced out trumpet keeps things flowing. The remaining track “Cantankerous Emotions” is a little different as regards to the beats, but loses none of the soul and profoundness of the other tracks.
Laak – Negatively Seductive [AUS001]
The first EP on Austere is coming from Laak, underground music for the deep heads, with a sound palette of warm pads, discreet analog melodies and vintage drum patterns. The tracks give a huge nod to Chicago, Detroit and the forefathers of the genre but remain contextual and fresh.

A-side is the raw and ready groove controller ‘Cosmic Soup’, while flipside you’ll find the incredible exclusive ‘Cosmic Jungle’, nearly nine minutes of deep trekking vibes powered by Maurizio-like bassline and wiped with moody strings, all in that shady, inimitable Detroit style.
Johannes Albert – Rough Acid Love House
Prostitune – Justfixit [JAB004]
Just another pair of deep and dope House grooves from Prostitune for Just Another Beat. He’s evidently down for a boogie this time, pushing the tempo up slightly for the swing-jacking, swirling and seductive Chicago-meets-Detroit drive of ‘Justfixit’, while ‘Nj Turnpike’ offers some beatdown contrast for the deeper corners of the night.
Anton Zap – LWE Podcast 76
