Olin & Co. Processing – Compton EP [DSCVRY002]
Compton is the second release from Discovery Recordings. The EP comes from Chicago’s Olin and Co. Processing. ”Compton” kicks it off with hypnotic vocals made ready for the dance floor by an infectious rolling bass-line and filtered keys. ”Oslo” is built on dueling arps and spacey percussion that together cultivate a swirling deepness. On remix duty are Glasgow’s OOFT! and Berlin’s Nils Penner
Deep Space Orchestra – Riding In My Imaginary Jeep [FOTO003]
Foto Recordings enlist the talents of Deep Space Orchestra for release number three in the catalog. First up “Riding In My Imaginary Jeep” showcases their trademark old synths/modern production aesthetic to full effect, taking in classic drum machines and warm synth lines to produce an epic piece of deep house. Second track “Sir Shina” sees them doing some deft sample-manipulation with a big chugging midtempo jam the result. Label owner OOFT! is also present with a remix.
OOFT – Ride In To The Red Zone [FOTO001]
Ooft is the joint effort of The Revenge and Ali Herron. With ‘Ride In To The Red Zone’ they lay down a bed of heavyweight slowhouse kicks before dropping a scorching male vocal, while ‘Spanky Spanky’ aligns itself with the sort of drag-house grooves.

Ooft is the joint effort of The Revenge (aka Glasgow’s prolific Graeme Clark) and Ali Herron. With ‘Ride In To The Red Zone’ they lay down a bed of heavyweight slowhouse kicks before dropping a scorching male vocal, while ‘Spanky Spanky’ aligns itself with the sort of drag-house grooves spun out by Mark E and co.
