‘Word of Mouth’ is the debut album from the tireless Leftroom Records boss and producer/DJ, Matt Tolfrey. Featuring a rich selection of talent, from the relatively new such as James Teej, Jem Cooke and Kevin Knapp, to legends like Marshall Jefferson and Ya Kid K, ‘Word Of Mouth’ is a return to the feel of classic house albums of old where collaborations with vocalists, engineers and mix engineers were worn as a badge of honour. Matt Tolfrey is a fixture of modern house music that can feel a definite sense of pride over his achievements. Tolfrey’s touch in the studio is undoubted but with ‘Word of Mouth’ we’re treated to a unique insight into his influences, working methods and what makes him tick.

Humandrone – Yellow EP [WPHYELLOW]

We Play House with their limited series. A new artist from Japan called Humandrone a.k.a. Takaaki Shibuya, with his twist on jackin’ Chicago rhythms. A twist deeply melancholic, almost Detroit like, showing us that Chicago music can be both jackin and musical at the same time.

Jonny White & James Teej – Narco Balada [PSPV002.9]

UNRELEASED URBAN VOL. 2

Canadians Jonny White and James Teej joined forces in the studio to share their passion for a stripped back sound of intense house tracks. At just over eleven minutes, Narco Balada casts a deadly spell of inertia that transports the listener to the endless depths of club. Pure club tracks that reveal their beauty and power on a sweaty dancefloor in the darkest hours of the night. The man on remix duty is Chaton, and he turns the hazy original verion into a tight robotic bassline driven monster.
