Gerd & Elbee Bad – H.O.U.S.E. [4LUX1104]

Track artwork

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.

Massimiliano Pagliara – Focus For Infinity [PLAYRJCCD08]

https://imagescdn.juno.co.uk/300/CS421692-01A-MED.jpg

Debut album from Massimiliano Pagliara. Massimiliano has got the chug on lock, keeping the tempo around a sensually sub-110 bpm over 13 tracky grooves intended for the connoisseurs and the steamiest points of the night. Fairly simple stuff, but very effective.

Falty DL – Make It Difficult / Jack Your Job [ACNY12x1]

New release from Falty Dl on All City Dublin Records. As tight and punchy as you expect, this is two addictive slabs of fast paced house with a distinctly 90s US influence with a shout to Minister Farrakhan on vocal duties.

Chief Alchemist Aybee kicks it off with an 11 min voyage into deep astral soundscapes. ‘N#ggas and Space Machines’ plunges into late night space travel, and finishes off with the smoothed out vibes of ‘Steps’. This is some seriously beautiful futuristic house music.

“I Can See” by The Oliverwho Factory is the second release of german label Couldn’t Care More. The duo from Detroit delivers finest Detroit deep house with a twist. While the basic track is voluminously wafting and rawly pushing forward vocalist Shone tops it with her power- and soulful singing.
