Kassem Mosse ‎– Staat Aus Glas EP [SOTU004]

https://soundsoftheuniverse.com/img/eEVuRUplRSt6cDBHZlRJZk91RzBZQT09/staat-aus-glas-ep-kassem-mosse-diana-policarpo.jpg

Three exclusive raw house & techno tracks from Kassem Mosse on Sounds Of The Universe label. This single is part of our Art+Sound 12” series. Channeling diverse percussive and rhythmic traditions – religious drumming ensembles filtered through astral jazz, Underground Resistance’s rugged 909 output tempered with considered minimalism all cut together with signature slow motion groove, textures contrast and sci-fi synths.  This first EP on the Sounds Of The Universe label travels through the dissonant orchestral sweeps, gliding metallic harmonics and tight polyrhythms of ‘Staat Aus Glas’, the skidding delay and offkilter 80s darkside of ‘Escape From Frankfurt’, and the saturated cinematic techno of ‘Nacht An Allen Tangent’.

Carl Taylor – Debbie’s Groove [EPM002V]

Debbie’s Groove sees Carl Taylor in full on jacking mode, with tinges of disco and a stomping beat that will see you heading straight for the nearest dancefloor. Robert Hood turns his hand to Debbie’s Groove adding that magic touch, with a deep bassline, funky claps and a vocal snippet that echoes his Floorplan sound alongside the tougher tech workouts we’re used to hearing from this master technician. Good Vibrations gives us a deeper blend of the house meets techno sound that Carl has become known for, with its tough syncopated groove reaching dizzying heights.

OB Ignitt – Oh Jabba [FXHEIGNIT]

https://images.junostatic.com/300/CS476033-01A-MED.jpg

FXHE present their final transmission of a superb year in the shape of Oh Jabba, two tracks of stargazing house music from OB Ignitt.  “Oh Jabba” is a wonderfully simple yet melodic house track, crunchy drum machine rhythms rippling away feverishly beneath a calming array of swooping Rhodes and Moog flourishes. Complementing this, “Space Age Stepping” is a more searching affair, relying more on the rugged drums and gurgling analogue bassline to achieve lift off.

Ma Spaventi – The Jungle / Insanity [MOSDEEP014]

SPAVENTI, Ma - The Jungle

Marco Antonio Spaventi returns on MOS with two tracks. ‘Insanity’ is a mad melange of fizzing electronics, ticking cowbells and swirling atmospheres all pinned to a chugging deep house beat. Raw drum fills and squelchy modulated synth sounds fill nearly every gap, taking you to a place as intense you could imagine for the duration. On the flip, Spaventi’s lo-fi aesthetic gets even more fucked up as he delves deep into the recess of house music with ‘The Jungle’. Crunchy hits, echoing hi hats and a tightly coiled melody all race along next to each other with a slapping drum combination keeping energy levels up down below. Raw and brash yet totally beguiling, it might be some of his best work yet on the ever excellent MOS Deep.
