Marcello Napoletano – Everyday Madness [HHYR011]

hipodrome, , , Leave a comment

Three tracks that show the original spirit of raw, emotive, jacking music. The A-side, “Everyday Madness” is simply a side long drum machine workout with some added vocal effects, perfect for a DJ tool or just for some late night dancefloor mayhem. The B-side contains two slightly more musical jaunts. “Raw As Fuck” is simply pure urgent party music for dark discoteques, with a perfectly mixed low end bass drum and a glistening sheen. “Soul Train” has a groove and a jack to it, and has a similiar sound to some of the Underground Quality records being released at present. With its farting subs and off-kilter breaks, it’ll be sure to rock your crowd late into set.

The Rush Hour DC series continues with Cosmin TRG, the Romanian known for his releases on Hotflush and Tempa a.o. ‘See Other People’ is an infectious garage stepper, announcing the future of r&b. ‘Groove Control’ continues on a techno tip. It starts off deep and mysterious, evolving in a pulsating, acidic bassline driven killer.

After his recent releases on his own A.R.T. label, Kirk has shown us that he is back in effect. This double a-sided 12” confirms just that! Two solid techno tracks that both are steaming dance floor tracks, yet they both have a sophisticated, almost elegant touch.

hipodrome, , , Leave a comment

We welcome Chicago house veteran Gene Hunt to HHYR. With this great 4 track EP Gene shows us he still has the touch. This EP includes three deep, yet raw tracks somewhere between jacking Chicago and classic Detroit. It reminds us of tracks by Boo Williams, Glenn Underground etc. Special mention goes out to ‘I Know You Care’, which is a lush disco track.
