Daniel Wang – The Balihu Bootleg Ep [RH108X]
Final Daniel Wang release on Rush Hour, incl. 6 tracks not on the recent compilation. The Balihu Bootleg EP is the final release in the Best Of Balihu series on Rush Hour. This 6 track EP holds two unreleased tracks (!) and four early works and b-sides.
Falty DL – All In The Place [RH-DC01]
Rush Hour kicks of its Direct Current series with NYC based Falty DL. This series is about today’s electronic music in all shapes by new and upcoming producers. Falty DL is known for his releases on Planet Mu and Ramp. His sounds shifts somewhere between hip hop, funk, dubstep, house and techno. Its this cross breeding that gives Falty DL his signature sound. With ‘All In The Place’ he delivers one of his best releases to date. Four tracks that sound classic, yet futuristic at the same time.
Gene Hunt – Cancemnini EP [HHYR09 ]
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.
Ricardo Miranda – Black Acid [HHYR008]
We’re going back to the roots again! Chicago producer Ricardo Miranda kicks it raw with this acid burner. This steady club track already caught the ears of Rick Wilhite, who will include Ricardo Miranda in his upcoming Vibes Compilation album. On the b-side we have Chicago head Legowelt doing a remix, which is a tribute to the late 80s Chicago era. Deep and moody. Essential house stuff!
Rondenion – Dark Adaption EP [RH-R2]
Dark Adaption is Rondenion’s second EP for Rush Hour and we are pleased to have him back! The freestyle disco cut-up ‘Sun Glare’ nicely sets the mood here and is a must have for Detroit house lovers. “Blue Canal” shows a deeper side of Rondenion; a bluesy, mid tempo groove that sticks. The title track gives way to, well, Rondenion’s darker side.. A hypnotic and mean cut that really builds, reminds us Theo Parrish’s rawer tracks.
Tevo Howard – Crystal Republic [HHYR7]
Tevo Howard is the new unsung hero of Chicago house music! After his debut 12” for Hour House Is Your Rush “Move”, Tevo now delivers a six track double pack. All six tracks are warm, emotional, raw, hypnotic, long and deep tracks and take us back to the original vibe of Chicago house music. Though his tracks are heavily inspired on the early days, his productions sound very crisp and ‘today’.
Tevo Howard – Move [HHYR5]
More Chicago tracks find its way on the HHYR label. This time the talented Tevo Howard (of Beautiful Granville Records fame) debuts on the label with a classic sounding track “Move”. Tevo blesses us with two versions of this jacking track. “Move” comes as original and an even rawer acid mix. With this release Tevo confirms that he is one of the most prominent Chicago house producers today.
