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.

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.

Paul Mac & Mark Broom – Essex Acid EP [BMD005]
Paul Mac & mark Broom revisit those aciiied days to show us how it’s done with the four-tracker, ‘Essex Acid EP’ on Mark Broom’s own imprint, BeardMan. Joining their production forces for the first two tracks, Paul Mac then goes it alone for the second half of the EP. Originally recorded back in the day, ‘I Don’t Know’, ‘A Certain Era’ and ‘Knocker’ were first released on Mark Broom and Dave Hill’s seminal Pure Plastic label (PP066), while ‘Remember When’ was never previously released.
Cuthead – Brother EP [UV007]
The third artist-EP by Uncanny Valley comes from Cuthead and is nothing less than a proper power package. With ‘Vibratin’ things start off as deep as the bottom of the sea. Underneath Cuthead’s dense drums there is an intense and meditating synth line which is eventually complimented by an acid figure as if it was an evil twin. ‘Brother’ rolls in with a mighty kick drum, before a catchy sample and not less catchy piano motives prepare for a propitiating end. With ‘Transgressions’ and its bass line for the bigger floors things get down to House business once again. The remaining two tracks then give an impression of what happens, if Cuthead takes to the MPC for his liveset. In ‘Seram Lembah’ and ‘Heartless’ Cuthead combines his drumming with South East Asian disco-mantras und bittersweet Blues chants to heavy Hip-Hop-grooves.
