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.

Move D – Hydrophonics EP [UZURI014]

What needs to be said about Move D? Overused, though the veteran tag is, David Moufang has been producing excellent music for many, many years. Yet, the last few have seen him receive particular acclaim, especially for his more house-flavoured work – buoyed by his increased reputation as a DJ.

Morning Factory – New Memories EP [YRE027]

Morning Factory’s second Yore EP, “New Memories”, is bursting full of fresh ideas. pener “Maiden”Voyage” is classic Morning Factory, an ever-so-tight house jam that twists and turns for eight rapturous minutes. Darker undercurrents run through “Last March of the Ants” when church organ chords stretch themselves across a windswept, broken beat shuffle. Creamy organ sounds also course through “Radioshow”, which takes a nostalgic glance backward to a golden age where something like “Green Onions” had a chance of getting played on the radio. But the EP’s most body-shaking cut arrives last in the form of “Cherish”, a charging tech-house hellraiser animated by rowdy basslines and shotgun claps.

Miles Sagnia – Astrobiological Funk EP [ORN008]

SAGNIA, Miles - Astrobiological Funk EP (Front Cover)

New Ornate Music from Miles Sagnia. The A side is reserved for the lush, monolithic acid work out that is ‘Interplanetary Visitors’. On the flip ‘Bounce Theory’ sets its stall out with a future thinking, hip shaking house groove. And ‘Twilight’ gives a nod to old school Chicago, but has its mind out amongst the stars.
