Norm Talley – The Palmer Park Project [TSUBA075]

A long and distinguished recording career for the always faithful Norm Talley has been lacking something Tsuba shapes until now, so kudos to Kev Griffiths for coaxing three drops of powerfully deep and danceable house from the Westside Detroiter. Each track here offers a different mood with A-side cut “Mid-Nite Madd-Ness” the peak time burner with classically Detroit house styled cymbal clashes cuing breakdowns, while vamping chords ascend and descend. “Holiday” is the warmer summer house jam with woozy Rhodes on loop, while “One Track Mind” is deep and rhythmic with a sultry vocal to boot.

Tazz – Adventures Of Tazz Sampler [TSUBA057A]

TAZZ - Adventures Of Tazz Sampler (Front Cover)

With his old-skool rooted sound, Tazz has always brought tantaslising styles to Kevin Griffith’s mighty Tsuba stable. There’s something very playful about the way he sets about building tracks, not least on the square-wave bass rinsing “Giovanni’s Keys”. Let it never be said the man is cashing in on tried and tested formulas, bringing his thoroughly modern production skills to bear on tightly honed floor rockers. “Many Reason!” ups the ante further with the teasing arpeggios and chiming synths, while “Captain Groove & The Oscillators” pulls things back to show it’s not all peak-time bangers in the Tazz camp.
