E. Myers – I Am Alive / Dreamland [ESTY005]
E. Myers returns just in time for the summer, with two heaters of contrasting styles. ‘I Am Alive’ is a celebration, cooked up from heavy drums, percussion and bass synth, coming together with pads and arpeggiated synths for full blown elation. ‘Dreamland’ keeps its poker face on throughout it’s entire 9 minutes. Threatening to break out but staying cool with its restrained bump, it’s equally at home in basements as it is on beaches.
Knight Action – Single Girl / D-rail [LDR071]
Ultra-rare proto-house vibes from Chicago courtesy of Still Music. This one’s long been coveted by followers of the jacking beat, the apostles of WBMX. Produced by Mike Macharello & Duane Thamm Jr this is a truly unique record and one that is very hard to obtain. If you dig the earliest grooves from the Windy City, or you have a passing interest in Italo or Freestyle then this is for you. A fully legit 12″ reissue, taken from Still Music’s recent, comprehensive overview of the ‘Let’s Dance’ label this is unmissable.

The fifth collection in Slow Motions’s dance-floor only series is the aptly named Dance. Arriving in two different versions for those times when you need alternative vibes on the dance-floor, ‘Music’ is backed up by a slamming, jack-time remix from Marco Passarani.
Capofortuna – Crush On You [SLOMO039]
Capofortuna is a duo made up of Bologna-based house maestro, DJ Rame and multi-instrumentalist Ricky Cardelli from Rimini. With glorious live instrumentation and joyous arrangements this is the kind of record that is going to slip right into many DJ’s collections.
VA – Interstellar Groove Addictions Vol. 1 [MET033]
Metamrophic to present out first various artist compilation. This one features 3 up and coming artists, GOIZ, JEM, and Jacksonville, as well as one track from label head Dan Curtin. Of course the first compilation from Metamorphic had to be called Interstellar Groove Addictions, the unofficial slogan of the label since the beginning. These tracks are modern trips into the unknown, representing the mood of the label perfectly – fierce individuality, evolution in sound, and deeply felt emotional content.
Supreems – Close Your Eyes (And Feel) EP [LT051]
Supreems returns to Lobster Theremin with a hazy, dream-state inducing EP so do as the title says – close your eyes and feel the soaring pads, scattered breakbeats and percussive synths pulse right through you.
Third System – Third System EP [ROYAL043]
Clone Royal Oak 043 delivering fresh new cuts from the dutch west-coast. Adventurous psychedelic house tracks with colorful warm tones squeezed out of an artillery of warm and wooly sounding vintage synths creating futuristic vibes.
