Omar S – Something Real [FXHE-AOS891]

Omar S, the FXHE label boss, wastes no time in dropping heat this New Year as he once again hooks up with vocalist Desire for this latest house gem. Up first is ‘Something Real’, in the classic Omar S mould of laying down a deep, heartfelt drum line and then topping it with a mad emotive vocal hook that is filled with r&b goodness and joined by the most subtle cosmic chord motifs. ‘Hard Leaf Rag’ follows next, so raw it will make your ears tickle with its busted drums and serrated stabs. Then flip it over for ‘Conant Leaf Rag’, which pairs warbling synth sounds with dusty hi-hats and tight kicks for a nice, full mind and body workout.

Mystery Friend – Move My Body [RYDM172]

Non Stop Rhythm presents a new release from Mystery Friend, a producer from Buenos Aires. His search and musical selection delves into the origins of House music, reviving the nostalgia of the club sound of the 80’s and early 90’s, but maintaining that youthful freshness of the new generation.

Don Carlos – Alone [A004]

Anorax has got a vital 10″ here featuring a stone cold classic Balearic house tune from Don Carlos in two different mixes. First is the Paradise mix which is as Ibiza as house music gets – the swirling pads, the subtly joyous feeling in the piano chords, the blistered bassline. It all immediately transports you to the White Isle and gazing out to see as the sun sets and the party ratchets up a gear. On the flip is a Lute Mix which brings some more mellifluous melodies and makes the drums a little more bouncy.

Trey Risqué – Desire [PKWY016]

The Beat Boy Wonder returns to Parkway this fall with his brand new single “Desire” Hard to pin down, Trey’s music is part freestyle, part hi-nrg, part electro, part Italo synth-pop, but always rooted in the traditions of the NYC dancefloor.

Tom Carruthers – Analysis [CJFD40]

Clone Jack For Daze on a roll with Tom Carruthers up next. Tom delivering trax that will make you jack all night long. The 4 track EP reflects a keen ear for detail and a deep appreciation for retro-futuristic influences that made the genre. No nonsense classic bleepy techno with lush strings and contrasting metalic basslines fierce enough to keep the energy flowing till sunrise.
