last year’s ‘the age of compassion’ by chicago underground house don tevo howard was one of the standout tracks for buzzin’ fly in 2011with widespread dj and media support. it joined his burgeoning body of work on other acclaimed labels such as rush hour and his own beautiful granville. now tevo returns with his follow-up for buzzin’ fly. if ‘the age of compassion’ was a simple and elegant dancefloor bump wrapped in warm analogue melancholia, then the ‘monument ep’ is its nemesis - a stark future-retro reinterpretation of the origins of house music build from the bare components of machines: raw drums, sub bass, sine waves, square waves and oscillators. and yet there is still a burnished beauty to this ep. all three tracks seems to find echoes of each other in their arrangements and brittle harmony. machine music for the modern age edged with passion and feeling, and another fresh step for its producer.
this ep written some year and one half ago at beautiful granville studio features 3 dance selections, which includes the title track, the drapes in the livingroom. also presented in dance form is the very long awaited shaquanda, which is often played in my live sets. here, we have the original and first recording of the track. last, i am presenting bedroom music, which is a track designed to be played in those private moments, as well as within nightclub confines. i simply hope that youll find the bump in this one

2010 repress !!! it seems that tevo comes out of nothing delivering some house tracks that are as hot as they can get! as a teenager tevo was brought up in chicago during the haydays of house music. and there is no doubt that this left a deep impression on him! this record is another stomper with 5 basic tracks that have that same magic as early house records from the 80s! his first release on bgr was already picked up by several hot international djs and this one might even be better! great great record!

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.
passion sound (inner beauty) is designed to exemplify the inner passion of an individual, while maintaining the outer crust of a chicago sound. it is well true that tevo howard found it necessary for this artistic track to make it to vinyl. he has said that the tracks elegance is the perfect potion for a bgr vinyl release. while inter tribal is slower paced, and somewhat crosses bands of what one would expect to hear from the machine drums used to create it, inter tribal as a track is also meant to even out the energy of this conceptual vinyl piece as a whole. dreamers reason is simply the title track to tevo howards first full scale album, which will be released in coming months. on this particular vinyl selection, bgr 7, a bonus mix titled, (deep reason mix), is included, whereas it will not be included on the full scale album.
