430 West Records embarks on an epic journey revisiting classic tracks from it’s 20 year history with 2010 reworkings. First in the series are remixes of Octave One’s seminal techno track “Meridian” and their absolute floor killer ”Dema”.
Verdantin is an epic 13 minutes long burner. Moody synths, haunting vocals, and a sub-sonic kick drive the slowly evolving structure forward. However… b-side track Siebzehn is at least as good with its lush dubby chords and its echo-ing vocals layer over a classic house groove.
After exploring technoid territories with in the last years Ame are back with a full-on deep house EP. It is very much infiltrated with a Marcel Duchampesque way of approaching artistic objects: ready-made, self-referencing and perpetuating. So musically, Perpetuum Mobile (ital. Moto Perpetuaby Niccolò Paganini) elements push forward into mesmerizing loops. There future is nearer than in most of contemporary deephouse releases.
‘Black Keith’ definitely has that drive and swing and groove we love so much. ‘Close To Me’ is a little deeper and more classy (Detroit), yet still grooves like a motherlicker.
Rush Hour presents a new series of releases entitled ‘Voyage Direct’. This series is about all about feel good club music and is curated by Tom Trago. Hence the name Voyage Direct, which was also the title of his debut double EP. Dexter kicks off this series in a classy style with his Junofest EP.
Title track of ‘Night Heat’ on a side is a melodic and playful detroitish house track. On the b side, we invited our favorite underground house producer Fred P aka Black Jazz Consortium to the remixer. He almost cuted off the melody and made more dj tool version, it fits perfectly for dark club.
This 12inch contains the duo’s psychedelic-kraut-techno “Tattoo’s Island” in three takes! The original is a tension-laden epic cut while the dub version strips it down a bit and changes the tone mid-track to a more techy-edge – spiritual, snare driven and dubbed out to oblivion. Tom Trago’s “Lost In The Jungle” remix gives the track a whole new twist
Stilove4music number 26 is here with two producers Andee Frost and Oohee. Sample based disco injected house house tracks on the reliable Stilove4music!
Debut of Donga & Blake! Their sound is a balanced fusion of soulful house, deep textured techno and rhythms absorbed from garage, funky and broken beat. These 3 immaculate tracks have a simple appeal but also contain many layered sonic details for the closer listener.

Hackman’s productions have a certain sheen and a peculiarly humid quality that make them unmistakable. His impressive grasp of bass betrays his initial foray into dubstep, and it lends his music a power both nuanced and visceral.
Part 4 from the remixes series brings an eternal raw groove, dirty keys, deep & dub chords. Extended house for club abuse from Quarion and Se-te-ve.
