New Jersey’s DJ Qu lays down another dancer’s spesh on ‘Law’ backed with Brothers Vibe dub and Sascha Dive remix. This guy basically has the latin deep house shake on lock with a rack of crisp and punchy drums, submerged strings and that innately classical touch that signifies the best of his tracks for Strength Music and Underground Quality. Brothers Vibe reinforce this with a standardised dub mix and Dive takes the pace down for a deeper swingers mix.

This EP is the debut release for Shift London and is Red Rack’em akaDanny Berman’s deepest release to date. “Underground” sees a dubbed out Detroit groove teased out over a driving bass line and understated kick drum. “Exhalt” tunnels even further into the machine functions of ever so warm deep house, with the quirkiest of synth lines arising in unison with a kick drum from the electronic ether to smile inducing results.
Jennifa digs deep into her bag for two dreamy house numbers plus ethereal remixes by Isoul8/Volcov & Marco Nega. Mostly instrumentals, bathed in a warm, uplifting glow.

Cool release again on Mojuba! The a-side Bass Mood is featuring a disco break styled beat combined with a sick acid bassline… kind of the way Gerd and Pittmann can do it! A special trac that creates special moments on the floor! The b-side with Funk Advice is cooling things a little down, in the known dub light techno way of Oracy!
“Sun” is the first release in a Kenton Slash Demon trilogy on Tartelet called “Schwarzchild Trilogy” inspired by the elements that form our galaxy. The Sun 12″ features a remix from the much hyped Alan Abrahams aka Portable / Bodycode, from Portugal who made added vocals, deepness and classic Mr. Fingers Juno-6 bass line – deep and clever.
