2024 Best Tracks part 6 (of 10)
We start presenting our favorite tracks from 2024. More or less in a chronological order we present here the sixth set of tracks.
Böhm – Ethereal [MOS035]
Third outing by Utrecht’s Böhm on M>O>S Recordings. As always, a beautiful collection of warm, jacking, bleep-y, deep house. Reminiscing to good old times, 90’s Chicago house, early 00’s UK bleep techno, it all feels very much at home on M>O>S.
Marcus Paulson – Garden City EP [MOS034]
Böhm – Connected EP [MOS033]
Utrecht based producer Böhm is back with his second batch of heat on MOS Recordings. He delivers a brilliant take on the deeper side of house music, smoothly blending the iconic MOS strings with drifting bass lines and a spark of idm bleep techno.
Aroy Dee – M>O>S MIX Inspiration 2023
Gilbert – Transit Of Venus [MOS032]
Bristol’s Gilbert turns in a very classy EP of deep and nostalgic IDM cuts – just how M>O>S like it.
Marcus Paulson – Brutal North EP [MOS031]
Manchester based DJ and producer Marcus Paulson (aka Kid Machine) debuts on MOS Recordings. Kicking of with a typical Aroy Dee-approved sunrise jam on ‘No Go Zone’ before three slabs of jacking acid take over. Ticking all boxes from thumping Chicago house to gritty acid and emotive tear jerking strings this EP has all MOS characteristics from start to finish.
Aroy Dee – When Stars Collide [MOS030]
Aroy Dee with a first solo EP on his own M>O>S Recordings in years. Four emotive, atmospheric deep house efforts. Joined by his R-A-G peers Spaventi and G-String on track 3 for the special spiral galaxy blend.
Böhm – Metropolitan EP [MOS029]
Four emotive cuts of Chicago flavoured, acidic deep house by Utrecht based producer and 030303 crew member Böhm.
Aroy Dee @ Unlimited Nation 2020
R-A-G / Ma Spaventi – New Lives EP [MOS028]
Tracks from local boys R-A-G, (Aroy Dee, Ma Spaventi & G-String) and solo work from Ma Spaventi. Nostalgic to the bone- going deep on the Acid House, Italo and Chi-town flavours.
Crystal Maze / R-A-G – Dr. Claw / Larry Venom [COSMOS007]
For COS_MOS’s next trick they serve up a special 12” that features a brand new single from M>O>S super group R-A-G, also known as Ma Spaventi, Aroy Dee and G-String. It comes backed with a re-release of one of the key tracks of the previously released Crystal Maze album on aDepth Audio. A fierce and full 45rpm re-cut of ‘Dr Claw’ that has been a secret weapon of Aroy Dee for many years. It’s a raw cosmic adventure, with warm solar winds blowing over prickly drums. Twisted bass and knotted pads wrap round the groove as a detuned lead synth heads into a Legowelt-ish future. ‘Larry Venom’, stirs things up with a deconstructed, off kilter mix of beeps and drones with marching drums adding to the feeling that this is a robot party in meltdown.
Random XS – Centrifuge [MOS027]
Dutch underground acid-techno act Random XS strikes again with two rugged and authentic dance floor rockers. After a long awaited re-release of their Djax-Up-Beats classic ‘Give Your Body’ last year on Delsin, they return with a pair of fresh and unheard acid jams on the closely related MOS Recordings. Both tracks recorded in the early ’90s, but only recently finalized and improved for heavy club impact. It’s an EP full with gurgling 303 grooves and raw energy in the traditional and energetic Random XS way.
Tom Dicicco – Laser Life [COS_MOS_006]
Next up on COS_MOS is a label debut from Tom Dicicco. The four cuts he offers here kick off with the hammering synth stabs and coarse claps of ‘Varykino’, a brutal twisted dance floor mover. ‘Laser Life’ then cuts loose, with squeaking machines and alien life-forms jumping about in a broken beat framework that brings off balance grooves to the party. Acidic bouncing bass lines jumping over the b-side on ’99 Rising’, where ‘Quiet Theory’ flips the script again, this time with percolating and trippy synth loops rising and falling with skeletal beats stuttering below. A well balanced party pack for every hour of the night.
Aroy Dee & Ma Spaventi – The Way We Love [MOS026]
Marco Spaventi and M>O>S label head Aroy Dee link up for another of their intriguing collaborations. Their latest offers another vital mix of raw house and ambient. Opener ‘The Way We Love’ features typically rough, blistered drums and sci-fi synths, but this time with a heavenly vocal and uplifting chords up top that tug on your heart strings. An ambient reprise of the same track is a perfect excuse to kick back and get lost in your own thoughts. ‘The Way We Move’ then takes a long view, with far-gazing Detroit pads and mid tempo drums getting you deep into a dreamy groove that is wide open and expansive. Last of all, Marco remixes this one on his own and flips it into something that is even more melodic, with circling pads and a musical bassline all making for a beautiful piece of timeless house music.
ASOK – Better Deat Than Alien [MOS025]
M>O>S Recordings kick off 2019 with a new EP from the Liverpool artist ASOK. With one foot on the dance floor and a mind lost somewhere in the cosmos, ASOK again combines breakbeats, astral synth work and prickly percussion into fresh new forms here. The title track is a twitchy and futuristic bit of house with glistening and distorted textures, Find A Way has a rubbery bassline and old school rave breaks, and Many Locations is a bumping bit of deep Detroit house with a real sense of serenity. Closer Baal ends in the heavens, with celestial ambiance, spinning hi hats and broken beats all sounding delicate yet dynamic as rasping bass ties everything together. This is another timeless and adventurous EP from ASOK.
Nehuen – Intenso EP [COS_MOS_005]
COS_MOS welcome Argentinian Nehuen for their next EP. The Barcelona based artist makes uncompromising dance floor tracks and co-runs the Classicworks label with Cardopusher. This time out he offers four more fierce cuts that cannot fail to get the attention of the club.
Stephen Lopkin – Clyde Built [MOSDEEP030]
Stephen Lopkin is back on M>O>S Deep with a great double pack of that gleaming sound. The Scottish artist has been making prickly house and techno for almost a decade. His style is serene and slick, and across the 10 tracks here he manages to conjure tracks that work in the club but that come with plenty of cerebral qualities. He never made a secret he takes a lot of influence from early Detroit Techno, even Several track titles pay direct homage to his musical heroes like Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson, Carl Craig and also the track New Euro Politique is made in memory of the late UK producer Matt Cogger aka Neuropolitique.
