Andy Ash – Workin EP [DES118LTD]

Andy Ash appears on French label Dessous for the first time with an energetic three-track 12″. Cast your mind back to some of the 6th Borough Project’s early releases and you’ll have an idea of the low-slung, Chicago house that have inspired this release’s title-track. The BPM ranged is scaled on the B-side’s killer cut “Mindflow” for something dancier, while a combination of the elements heard throughout the aforementioned mixes, with some added acid, create a joyous “Release & Check (part 1)”.

Langenberg – The Finisher [DES112]

Dessous Recordings get their hands on the sumptuous release The Finisher. Informed and influenced by the classic Detroit sound, Langenberg produces yet another exceptional transmission. The title track is a smooth like liquid gold, yet contains a dub-tinged techno edge reminiscent of Langenberg’s Ribn project with Manuel Tur. The soulful piano interplay is pure Detroit meets Essen, and combines to produce one of the year’s standout moments.Next up is Wait State, a bouncing groove featuring Langenberg’s trademark crisp drums and percussion, and a fantastic revolutionary vocal sample.Sun and Sorrow is on a more driving tip, but maintains a familiar minor key motor city deepness. Also present here as a digital bonus is Sun and Sorrow Dub, an essential rework and a dub-wise dancefloor excursion for the heads.
