Omar S & Kai Alce – Jive Time [FXHEAD]

New Omar S & Kai Alce collaboration. Hypnotic, dreamy synth lines with lush warm acid and loose, light percussion. Quite crisp and hi-fi in comparison to the Detroit grit we know these two can both pump out.

Steffi – Reasons EP [UQ034]

disc
Steffi presents her first on Underground Quality, release entitled the Reason EP. “Reasons” has all the emotion, beauty and radiance of any of its peers, tugging at the heart strings like only the best can. “Fallin'” cruises along softly, but with speed and intent. That typical U.Q bass sound is correct and good along with the amazing ‘wood-bloc synth’. The EP is closed by “November”, a tune with a chord progressions sound, restrained, glowing keys stimulate all the right senses while a chugging kick keeps us bouncing along happily.

Syntax – Jace Syntax/ Black Jack [SRT0148]

Syntax - Jace Syntax / Black Jack

Sweet deeper Detroit techno from Glasgow. Silky pads atop a thick bass line are glued together by classic rhythm designed to work the floor in a classy way!. Includes a Drivetrain Mix that has an electrifying, raw groove… very late night cut.

Sultry and swampy track on the with a Orlando Voorn remix. Flip side is a tribute to Detroit Beatdown which resulted in a warm chord driven house track with vocal samples layered on top. XDB is on remix duty here, and delivers a nice techy version of the nice original.
