Urban Tribe – Program 1 – 12 [MM025LP]
Not much really needs to be said about a new release on Mahogani Music, especially since it involves contributions from some of Detroit’s greats, including Kenny Dixon Jr, Anthony Shakir, Carl Craig, and last but not least, the main man Sherard Ingram aka DJ Stingray. It’s a single LP which contains twelve tracks – a couple of shorter skits, but most pretty much full tracks. Now maybe time to state the obvious… this won’t hang around long!

Leonid – J3 EP [SIS013]
Sistrum announces the return of Ireland’s Leonid, who offers a proper follow up to his highly regarded debut Sistrum EP, Sadim (SIS-009). The J3 EP pushes further down into the depths and brings forth timeless vibes for those who seek to shed the excess and get to the heart of the matter. And this matter is the groove – the kind of simple, effective groove that you can get lost in, the kind of groove that you can listen to forever and it just seems to get better the longer you listen to it.
Ed Davenport – Verdantin [FALK02]
Verdantin is an epic 13 minutes long burner. Moody synths, haunting vocals, and a sub-sonic kick drive the slowly evolving structure forward. However… b-side track Siebzehn is at least as good with its lush dubby chords and its echo-ing vocals layer over a classic house groove.
MRSK – Black Keith / Close To Me [RH030]
‘Black Keith’ definitely has that drive and swing and groove we love so much. ‘Close To Me’ is a little deeper and more classy (Detroit), yet still grooves like a motherlicker.
Kassem Mosse & Lowtec – Workshop Ep [LAID007]
The house of Workshop is powerfully represented by Kassem Mosse & Lowtec on Laid records this time.
Kyle Hall – Sun Goddes EP [WO004]
New Kyle Hall on his own label. Two crazy jackin Detroit house cuts as only Kyle can deliver…
Steven Tang – The Verged Sessions [AES010]
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.
Fabrice Lig – Genesis Of A Deep Sound [FA019]
New full length CD from the man, Fabrice Lig. Nice combination of downbeat tracks, electro and classic Detroit techno as we know of Fabrice Lig! Perfect versatile Nice price CD release with all the extra’s, beautiful artwork!
Don Williams – Dynamic Rain [BAUD003]
Don Williams provides two deep and tricky Detroit jackers for Baud. ‘Dynamic Rain’ is lead by future-tribal tom patterns and sparse, abstract synthlines. The idiosyncratic ‘Glis Groove’ on the flip reminds of Redshape (who coincidentally mastered this 12″) with deep shuffling arrangement tinged with a sci-fi house vibe. Lovely heavy card sleeve and top class cut & mastering job.
Claudio Mate – Trippin Dub EP [SNEJL016]
Snejl 16th release faces the italian Claudio Mate with a wonderful 3 tracker oozing Detroit techno with a blend of chicago and house. Deep, driving techno from Snejl.
