Anthony ‘Shake’ Shakir – Frictionalism 1994-2009 Remixes pt 1/2 [RH110]
Aardvarck – Nosestep [RH-DC05]
This re-release of Aardvarcks genre-defining Nosestep comes with a Cosmin TRG remix, bringing the classic right back 2011 style. Also, a Nubian Mindz rework of Spoken is included: one that wasn’t released back in 2001, but proved to be far ahead of its time..
Marcello Napoletano – Everyday Madness [HHYR011]
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.
Awanto 3 – For Five EP [RH-VD2]
‘Voyage Direct’ series presents two mid-tempo heaters from Rednose Distrikt aka Steven De Peven. ‘Get That BeeDeeBee’ is discofied-house music is the stringest Rush Hour tradition, elegant yet dirty, sensuous and hypnotic ‘Dam-style beatdown. ‘I Am Cumming’ pushes up the tempo on the flip, teasing up warmest filtered disco vibes and Detroit-debted soul chords.
Kink & Neville Watson – Metropole [HHYR012]
KiNK & Neville Watson are back with their 3rd single on Hour House Is Your Rush. Balancing between early Chicago and some techno and early 90’s house bangers the guys deliver.
Cosmin TRG – Liebe Suende [RHDC04]
Cosmin TRG is back with his 2nd release in the Direct Current Series on Rush Hour. This time he loses the steppy beats and turns out two fierce house tracks, yet he keeps his signature cut up r&b samples and the future attitude.
Rick Wilhite – Vibes New & Rare Music Part D [RH111-D ]
Nebraska – Four For Four EP [RH-N04]
MRSK – Black Keith / Close To Me [RH030]
‘Black Keith’ definitely has that drive and swing and groove we love so much. ‘Close To Me’ is a little deeper and more classy (Detroit), yet still grooves like a motherlicker.

VA – House Of Trax Vol. 3 [RH-TX3]

Kirk DeGiorgio – Ripple Effect / Time Spin [RH029]
