Classic Italian Electro-House from Mario Pierro’s Raiders Of The Lost Arp, reissued and backed with a brand new Patrice Scott remix. Reservedly sophisticated keys and deft bassline programming make for an enchanting original, while the Sistrum boss’ remix places more emphasis on hefty kicks and modulating acidic tweaks without losing the debonaire groove.

VA – The Early Sound Collective Pt.2 [RHYTHM003]
Leskin, Massimo di Lena and Joseph Russel from Napels, deliver four outstanding deep & raw house/techno tracks, resulting in part 2 of the Early Sound Collective. Without falling back into cliché, their characteristic use of their analog equipment takes you right back into the ‘early’ days of hypnotic, raw & soulful machine music, competing with all Detroit/Chicago cats from back in the day.

Creepy Autograph aka Jimmy Edgar brings classic 90s house with a future funk production style on his new hit single “Curiosityyy” for Thug Records. Suspect takes care of proceedings on the flip with furtive vocal laden smooth electrotech business with “Inurface”. All vocals by Lace.
Fred P. – Sound of Thought 06
Vedomir – Orthodox Ambient [DEKMANTEL008]

Native Underground – Push 4 Love Remixes [WET1019]
Wurst presents two remixes of Native Underground’s boogie pop masterpiece, “Push 4 Love”. Runaway’s remix sees a return to form for the duo of Jacques Renault and Marcos Cabral, and a Wurst homecoming of epic proportions to the label that released their debut smash. A monstrous bassline drives the mix, signaling a different direction for Runaway one that we’ll hopefully see more of. Flip it over for an altogether alarmingly groovy remix courtesy of none other than In Flagranti. Tuff beats and nasty low-end form the rhythm section of this cyber-boogie jam, saving the vocals for the last bit, keeping them dubbed out and dreamy in the best way possible.
Gerry Read – All By Myself [4TH004]
Fresh and crispy Electronic House with bags of soul from the Fourth Wave regular. ‘All By Myself’ shaves the drums to a slinky shift while keys and bassline are smudged to a hazy, hypnotic blur beneath hushed and jazzy vocal. Similarly the teasing Jazz vibes of ‘What A Mess’, with the sort of textural detailing and studied swing of a producer far beyond his years. Aces.
Norm Talley – Transmissions Part 2 [THEMA028]
In spite of 3 tracks on the original Transmissions that fell a little closer to what the heads would expect from Detrot Beatdown man Norm talley, on Transmissions, Chapter 2 he serves up two techno tracks.

Tim Toh – Pandemonium [PHP058]
Ron Trent – Kids At Play [EB001LTD]

Linkwood – Secret Value [SHEV004]
Linkwood returns home to the Firecracker fold with a monumental EP for sister label Shevchenko. Containing three beautiful and timeless pieces of house music, the release also precedes the producer’s long awaited LP on Firecracker early in 2012.
Sailor Mood / Summed & Dot – The Brick Remixes [ALLINN0116]
New All Inn Records release, featuring a remix dream-team. “The Brick Remixes” sees two of the All Inn family, Sailor Mood and Summed & Dot, receive the remix treatment from DJ Qu and Kassen Mosse. NYC legend Qu gets to grips with “Brick Brick Brick” and builds this house from the very depths, up. Smooth atmospherics flow between rasping hats, gattling-snares and spine-tingling synth notes. Leipzig’s Kassem Mosse takes on the task of reworking “East Brick Wall” and with hi-hats taking centre stage again, turns in a beautifully deep, wintery soundscape of invitingly textured bass and considered keys.
