https://i0.wp.com/images.junostatic.com/300/CS396960-01A-MED.jpg

The Verged Sessions represents the evolution of the Chicago/Detroit sound … full of lush orchestrated strings, synths and deep pads with a massive foundation of thumping TR-808 & 909 drums. Steven has previously unleashed quality deepness, for almost a decade on his own label, Emphasis Recordings.

Art Bleek – The Real Thing EP [SHV002]

Second release on Sharivari Records, coming from Parisian musician Art Bleek. On the A side, The Real Thing is a funk-flavored masterpiece, starting with gorgeous deep chords and evolving into a funky and sexy house track, while Midnight Marauders is a straight P-funk smasher, with big clap, funky bassline and wild vocals. The B side features The Real Thing remixed by Swiss producer Agnès, who gives to the original track his usual magic touch with a building house rework. At last, Little Hollywood closes the EP with a hypnotic and minimal groove.

Efdemin – Chicago [DIALCD021]

After the huge success of his selftitled debut in 2007 CHICAGO is the second album of the Berlin-based Producer and DJ who releases his music under his moniker EFDEMIN with DIAL Records. CHICAGO is definitely the top match of Dial’s 10 Years Anniversary releases. Efdemins new works can be regarded as the turning point of a trend based house and techno scene into a new contemporary anti trend movement.

Dplay – Samoah EP [MILD005]

 

Mild Pitch are back with their fifth release – first one from Dplay for the label. Already a familiar ‘face’ from his releases on Running Back and Drumpoet, Dplay’s brand of deep house fits the label’s sonic agenda like a glove. Uber-deep, enveloping, emotive house with a slightly teutonic feel.

Quince & Benny Rodrigues - Novum image

Amsterdam’s duo Quince and Benny Rodrigues evolve an outstanding synthesis of a classic Detroit Techno Vibe and newest sound technology. With a bass blowing beast turning into deep space the A Side is created for dancefloor’s magic at its best. Based on strings, chords and 303 Sweet Potatoes on the B Side is a deeply kicking Detroit Electro tune.
