John Daly is back with an emotive EP featuring 4 variations of deepness. His strength is definitely his versatility, as he proofs on this EP, which features great deep house tunes, such as Big Piano and Reach as well as dubtechno like Long Distance and the mindblowing Atlantic Drive, which is a masterpiece downtempo track.
Marco Bernardi has a new 12″ soon to be release on Clone Royal Oak. The EP includes two deep melodic house tracks with rootz in detroit house. The track from the flip side is a collaboration with Keith Tucker from Aux 88.
Classic Detroit house tracks from Delano Smith with some help of Norm Talley on Kolour Off Shoot Undertones. Deeper tracks with lush keys and pumping basslines.
Hyperactive hotshot house hunk Axel Boman steps up and delivers a stunning debut EP for Pampa. Since many years an important force on the small but friendly Swedish club scene, and one third of the Studio Barnhus crew together with Kornél Kovács and Petter, Axel is as experienced a producer as his ideas are fresh. He is creating “worlds” rather than “tracks”, and on his “Holy Love” EP we are transported to three very different places indeed.
Two new artist deliver the next Underground Quality release. Basic stripped down tracks that slowly build and build with intens strings on the a-side a deeper detroit-esque tracks and then a more traditional house cut on the flip.
Reggie Dokes is definitely keeping busy – “House Is My Soul” is the latest in a series of releases for 2010. Deep, melodic Detroit house done in Reggie’s signature, string heavy style which already has many fans.
In the 3rd Downbeat release, the main star is the Waldorf Sound. This release means the debut of one of the heads of the label, Jose Rico. His two tracks (“Restructure again” and “About it”) are obsessive, direct and forceful and define clearly his tastes and influences. Detroit and above all, Detroit. On side B, (the essential) Mike Huckaby gives us a bright pearl with a piano solo reminding us of his works on Deep Transportation.
Stereociti is back on Mojuba with two fresh tunes which sound like they were made to sweeten your summer time! The title track Cosmoride catches the vibe of Stereociti first release but takes is on a deep cosmic trip to make you and the universe dance.
Sensual, tripped out vocals from Nesreen Shah and a monstrous remix from New Yorkers Still Going, the B Side is Coyote’s remix of International Peoples Gang’s ‘Second’,…a clear nu-balearic classic!
Golf Channel’s leading light and producer / engineer extraordinaire Justin Vandervolgen strikes again! For the label’s tenth release Justin hits us with a wicked double header.
Hudd Traxx have a great release dropping for it’s 5th birthday …. 4 cutz giving a solid nod to the old skool with warm deep house feelings. Nod To The Old Skool is a classic in the making deep rolling bass .. making a great late night burner.
