Mondo – Work Me Baby [DRH035]
Deeply Rooted House presents a nice piece of wax with 2 great tracks produced around 1994-1997 (recently discovered on DAT tapes), and 2 solid 2011 remixes. Rootstrax comes with an excellent mix that is an emotional deep take that really captures the emotion of the original and brings it to a much more mature and deep territory. The Marcelus mix gives us a much more radical, uncompromising Techno interepretation.

Legowelt – Poverties Paradise EP [EVR004]
Danny Wolfer’s is back again on Greece’s Echovolt label. Once again we see his trademark style of soulful, narrative electronic music spread across these four barrio tinged tracks, the standout being the massive Poverties Paradise which is a deeply emotional vocal excursion reminiscent of some of the most classic Chicago cuts with the signature Legowelt stamp planted firmly on it.
Nick Höppner – A Peck And A Pawn [OSTGUTTO49]
Unmissable modern House groove from Ostgut Ton’s co-founder Nick Höppner. ‘A Peck And A Pawn’ is pure groove science, augmenting the crisp and spacious aesthetic of Berlin-style House with a subtly accentuated Funky swing to exceptional effect. Flipside, ‘She Parked Herself’ is Detroit-influenced, with classic-sounding and sweeping melody guided by shook square bass and drums.. ‘Swivel Flick’ is slower, more intimate and involved with sensuous atmosphere and supple, kinky flow.
Marieu – Enhance EP [ENW001]
The first record of the Enlightened Wax series is a fine blend of incandescent house and techno tracks, flaring through the darkness of the night. All the tracks are written, mixed, and produced by Restoration and Appointment Records co- founder Marieu, without the use of any software.
George FitzGerald – Silhouette EP [AUS1134]
FitzGerald once again manages to create a world in which garage, dubstep, house, R&B and a host of other musical influences happily co-exist. On Silhouette hints of warm acid, layered oscillating synth lines, propulsive beats and FitzGerald’s signature use of vocal samples make this a peak time affair, albeit an incredibly lush one. Reset is eight minutes of forward thinking UK Garage combined with the melodic sensibilities of Detroit techno. For the Silhouette remix, Roberts develops a relentless broken groove, occasionally punctured by brief piano interludes that recall the sounds of his 2011 debut full-length on Dial Records, Glass Eights. A breathtaking remix that sounds like nothing else out there at the moment.

Gerd & Elbee Bad – H.O.U.S.E. [4LUX1104]
Gerd is delivering a massive chicago influenced track called H.O.U.S.E. featuring the voice of L.B. Bad, The Prince Of Dance Music. This track was originally penned in 1994 when Gerd had Elbee over to tour the Benelux. The track was released on an obscure limited edition white label only back then, but here a new rework of these old recordings. 2011 sees the track remixed by Gerd himself and he takes the tune into rough & uncompromising analogue territory with filthy synth bassline and relentless TR808 action. Jakob Korn, Arttu and Neville Watson are on remix duty and deliver some fresh remix that complete this record.
DJ Blend – DJ Blend Detroit / Eclat [FXHEDJBLEND]
