New artist to the Jamal Moss camp brings three original tracks to the label influenced by Chicago classic house, cinematic soundscapes, and Detroit tech. On the flip, Marcello Napoletano’s IFM project drops a fresh remix to the title track.
The sampler of the upcoming Amsterdam All Stars compilation, a release that catches the current spirit of house music from Amsterdam. This 12″ features an exclusive track from Young Marco (it will not be on the LP format) and a track from Juju & Jordash.
KILLEKILL’s next release comes from Snuff Crew, featuring two tracks. ‘Domo’ a proper acid monster and ‘Eat This’ a raw chicago jack track, that is working its way with nothing but a few drum tracks and a vocal sample and is pure raw sexual energy.
Three tracks straight from the basement which has been used by one of the pioneers of the original house music Ron Hardy. “Traffic Jam” from Prince, Teddy Pendergrass’ “The more i get” and “Lefturno” from R.H. Classic stuff bringing back the vibes from the early days.
The latest release in the ‘Perpetual Masters’ series, which sees the M-Plant catalogue being remastered and re-released, is the classic ‘The Greatest Dancer’.
L.D. Nero graces Pomelo with profound house rhythms. ‘Be the Light’ features a very catchy hook over deep strings and sparse but effective rhythmic programing, achieving an ethereal summer tune, floating and hypnotic, but grounded in the low end. The flip features two extremely stripped down house grooves, applying subtle changes and transitions for maximum effectiveness on the dancefloor.
Vault Series is a cheeky little series where Rush Hour drops never before released tracks and mixes from its vaults as well as tracks which are in dire need of a re-release. The series kicks off with an unreleased track by the mysterious Duster Valentine. An anthemic disco track that, with its catchy piano loop, pays homage to the golden days of New York house music. On the other side we find Aardvarck’s fun-loving-freestyle-disco-mash-up-party-jam, That Pig, remastered and extended.
3rd Strike presents a remix pack for Vakula’s ‘Saturday’, with remixes by Deetron, Jeff Sharel, Legowelt and Fudge Fingas.
Ribn return to the Mild Pitch camp with two fresh tracks and a stunning remix by The Revenge. “No Place” is a deep diving funky house jam, that combines fragile soul samples and buzzing electronics.
Stuart Li aka Basic Soul Unit with 4 new cuts of submerged bass excursions for Nouveau Kanada. All tracks sound distinctly raw and heavy, but with modern nods to UK bass and spatial elektro. Stuart’s deep appreciation of dusty house grooves shines through on all tracks – but his treatment of the lead cut Deep Diving pays homage to those dope Dance Mania B-sides of yore.
Manuel Tur returns to Delusions with a (bi) polar opposite in the form of the ‘Foolinʼ’ EP. The title track is a beautiful slice of soul-drenched house which goes for a classic sound with simple horn chords, rolling bass and incessant claps spicing up the groove. Flipping over we have ‘The Traveller’ which sees Manuel head down slightly more familiar territory with a heavy, lo-slung groove providing the backdrop for some Axelrod-style strings and horns, live bass and floating vocal adlibs. A subtley haunting soundtrack feel pervedes as the arrangement developes but the relentless driving beats make sure this track never strays far from the dancefloor.
KiNK & Neville Watson return with ‘A Saturday In September’, their first vocal track, featuring vocals if Kim Ann Foxman (of Hercules And Love Affair). Future-retro Chicago house, with late 80’s New York influences.
Terpsichore welcomes The Florian Muller Project with the marvellous ”Jam with it”. The funky live bass and the amazing deepness of its chords and vocals make this track a must for any deep connoisseur. The Oliverwho Factory on remix duties.
The third release by Vakula on Shevchenko. Intense dub pressure on the A-side with an epic Bergheim-style percussive techno track on the flip that weighs in at over 13 mins. Pure, analogue, undulating house music.
