after all, the successful song produced by franck roger and mandel turner originally released in october 2011, is back this year with a number of remixes. flying the french flag are remixes from d’jjulz and seuil. joining the french team is burnski, the young english berlin-based dj/producer who recently rocked real tone records with his latest collaboration with manik you know what its like. each coming with their own flavour, d julz, seuil and burnski all add their individual style to after all.early feedback and support from ian pooley, robert dietz, steve lawler, manik, okain, ame, ritchie hawtin, dj harvey, laura bones, dj t, efdemin, kate simko, alex from tokyo, sebo k, agoria, quentin harris, josh wink, dj deep, the martinez brothers, luciano, dan ghenacia, shonky, reboot, monika kruse, willie graff, clive henry, boris werner, dubfire

supported by: anthony collins, tiefschwarz, jozif, paco osuna, kate, simko, lee curtiss, davide squillace, danny tenaglia, andrew grant,laura, jones, luca bacchetti. back after a brief hiatus, the air london imprint is proud to present new recruit sam russo, who means business on their lucky no.8 release. a two tracker of deep and dubby tech-house >violet town/ you need< embodies analogue grooves with no-nonsense attitude. sam russo is blessed with the kind of technical prowess that many would expect from a sophisticate with far more years behind him. a true beat wizard, russo has been firmly under the wing of leftroom label boss matt tolfrey, collaborating with him and fellow young blood huxley and is one of those genuinely gifted engineers of sound with the potential to be one of the most prolific producers on the london scene.

the next ep on germany s hello? repeat imprint comes from seuil, one of paris s most inspired underground producers. in terms of style, it is a match that could hardly be more perfect. hello? repeat has spent the past six years carving a niche for itself with eps from cabanne, audio werner and label co-founder daze maxim, plus acclaimed albums by bruno pronsato and kate simko. seuil, meanwhile, has put out a steady stream of ultra-deep 12-inches on labels like freak n chic and sammy dees ultrastretch. both specialize in a sound that is modern, understated and hypnotic. late call is exactly what its name suggests: a record made for the deepest, most tender portion of the night. the drums are slick and punchy, but the rest is woozy and romantic–this is one to put on when the crowd has stopped chatting and everyone s dancing with their eyes closed. topping it off is a vocal line made famous by diana ross but recited here by an androgynous diva: if you need me, call me, no matter where you are, no matter how far… dark, trippy and weirdly moving, this is one of seuil s finest tracks yet. >slow motion< strikes a similar chord but with a more subtle approach. here you notice seuil s rare touch for subtlety: in the absence of any real >hook<, he keeps the track moving with expertly sculpted drums, a warm half-melody and a gently propulsive beat. soft chords sustain in the background to create a balmy summer night feel. both tracks show seuil and hello? repeat doing what they do best: delivering something deep, functional and full of character.

nice price deal !!! chicagos brian gardner & todd mariana assemble this single with original keyboard work, minimal rhythm patterns, and a dj-friendly arrangement with brenda ds vocals that weave through this tech influenced dance track. she has also appeared on kate simkos recent smash mind on you.

the third and final installment of spectral sounds document 12inch series offers four choice cuts from our era-defining, ryan elliott-curated label comp. kassem mosses remix of lawrences >divided< is a fiendishly tight slow-burner, fitting its ricky-ticky hi-hats and sharp-edged snares together like cogs in a swiss watch. the german producer twists parts around, testing various permutations, and rewards his patient listeners with a dusting of synthesized bliss at the end. heiroglyphic beings rust-flecked >got no place to go< traffics in humid ambience and smoggy gestures, evoking a post-apocalyptic dawn, distant bird calls and all. on the flip, spectral newcomer gadi mizrahis masterful >she only looks at you< hints at krautrock and tech-house while a thoughtful organ hums in the background, and kate simkos buoyant >zhivago< plays ping-pong with a bucket of electronic toms while a crowd-revving synth swell makes itself useful at just the right moment.

deep series is back! the third deep series features a fascinating symbiosis of two individuals: ekkohaus and santos resiak. the two of them started to work on this project in 2009 and are now finally ready to share it with the rest of the world. during that time, ekkohaus made a splash with a whole array of top releases e.g. 2020 vision, circus company and cargo edition. santos resiak was also having a blast – e.g. after his last release at mothership. the three tracks on the new deep series fuse together the artists still unbroken enthusiasm for deep sounds in one melodic common denominator. >thanx but no< is a homage to the saxophone (btw: played live by robert wuerz). heavy with groovy loops the track creates a free floating ambience reminiscent of a jazz club in new orleans or a night club on an early morning in berlin.

produced by close friend black coffee, the original mix provides a suitably deep and meaningful platform for bantwinis heartfelt lyrics about phony relationships and, in turn, his soulfully immaculate delivery. lush afro-edged rhythms lead into smart bursts of trumpet, cool double bass-lines and stirring rhodes solos - a rich musical weave more than amplifying bantwinis performance.
