Fudge Fingas – S.V.T. EP [RH043]
Fudge Fingas aka Gavin Sutherland debuts on Rush Hour with his S.V.T. EP, which includes the modern soul classic ‘Snow Day’, a dream-perfect, lullaby-like, reminiscing-heavy song about a… snow day. ‘Vin 2 Win’ lifts us up and reminisces us back to back to the good old days somewhere in the mid nineties when Underground Resistance was giving is their take on 21st century funk. ‘Trans Pennine Express’ closes off this EP in a delightfully deep manner. A great tune to close off the night, or start up your day.

Cheap & Deep – Rides Again [MC001]
This inaugural release on Modular Cowboy features brand new material from Cheap & Deep (a.k.a. Jay Ahern) alongside two remixes of “Words, Breaths and Pauses,” a track originally released as a limited edition 12” via Berlin’s Hard Wax shop. The remixes come courtesy of Norman Nodge as well as duo Jonsson/Alter. The release also marks Cheap and Deep’s return to the scene, with the new track “Beautiful,” a modern take on the Chicago acid house tradition, featuring vocals by Crissy Liu with additional production by Morgan Packard.
JT Stewart – Ophelia [EVR007]
Best known for his releases across Bunker, Delsin, W.T. Recordings and more under the shark loving $tinkworx moniker, US producer JT Stewart is retaining the Drexciyan themes that ran through that recent 12inch while reining in some of the dread filled textures that permeated its every pore in favour of a more classicist take on the Detroit Utopian techno vision.
The Crystal Ark – We Came To [DFA2339]
“We Came To” is the 4th single by The Crystal Ark, the developing collaboration between Gavin Russom & Viva Ruiz. The song is a dance music rally cry – profound in its bare bones and raw production, and equally for the spanish/english lyrics – which praise ancestors and call out for liberation. The “House” and “Dub” versions featured on the single were mixed alongside the album version, which will be released later this year as part of the self titled debut LP by The Crystal Ark on DFA Records

Tobias. – Freeze [TON057]
Hypnotic Berlin techno by Tobias. on Ostgut Ton. Freeze is a darkly shining jewel that scoops its hypnotic energy from a rolling synth- sequence. Charged by repetition, Perfect Sense has a similar tractive force, but turns the inward looking, dark mood of the A-side into a subtly euphoric, outgoing direction.
Matt Star – Cube Universum EP [MOVIDA009]
Matt Star’s with his first release on Movida Records, featuring two original tracks, a dub interpretation and a remix by Dorian Paic.

Andres – Second Time Around EP [LAVIDA002]
Andres’ second EP on his own La Vida label, following up the label debut “New For U. The “Second Time Around EP” features the single “Skate This Way,” a house tune with epic strings guaranteed to bang the dance floor. On the flip is “Second Time Around” and “Hart Plaza” both originally released on KDJ Records, but here we new versions with additional keys courtesy of Detroit’s own Amp Dog Knight.
Andrew Ashong / Theo Parrish – Flowers EP [SS048]
New Sound Signature release by the very talented Andrew Ashong, an up and coming musician from the UK. Funky, soulful and romantic, with additional production from Theo Parrish.
Mary Boyoi – Zooz [SUDELECTRONIC012]
Beautiful South Sudanese song by Mary Boyoi, with outstanding, epic Portable rework & direct, Chicago-esque Tama Sumo version.
M.S. – Get Down EP [RAWAX010.3]
Strong Detroit inspired tracks on Rawax. This one digging in the rich history of Detroit techno for its influences resulting in a cool 3 track ep of some timeless techno tracks on clear vinyl 10”.
Mike Huckaby – Baseline 88-89 [SYNTH002]
Two tracks on Huckaby’s own label SYNTH that complete his “Baseline” series (the first being last years Baseline 87′ on Sushitech, which quickly sold out). Two jackin Detroit house tracks that will also quickly sell out as usual!
Michael Ozone – Perfect Systems Remixed [ESP006B]
Michael Ozone, the character who’s just dropped his debut offering for the ESP Institute this July, is back with a remixed version of his jungle-tuff “Perfect Systems” EP. On Side A, Steve Summers has taken Perfect Systems for an imperfect ride, jacking it up as expected while keeping the somewhat sinister mood of the original. On the flip, Young Marco strips down Hetrotopia to its core, letting you realize how a well-programmed track can maintain its melodic and hypnotic sense, even when all that’s left is percussion.
