tornado wallace has made a rather rapid climb up the hype list since his debut release here on delusions of grandeur in 2010 and deservedly so. definitely one to push quality as opposed to quantity, the melborne wunderkind has chosen to focus on just a select few remixes and releases which has stood him in very good stead and created demand as a dj and producer with genuine integrity as well as talent. in addition to his two eps on d.o.g he also released an ep for instruments of rapture as well as making remixes for home taping is killing music, kolour ltd and future classic. he is also responsible for one of ras best and most popular podcasts this year

to remain a discerning platform for underground artists with integrity is easier said than done in todays music market. alphahouse vows never to forget its roots in the afterhours basements from whence it came. in that spirit, we would like to welcome two up-and-coming italians to the family with release number twenty. good friends alessandro stefanio aka buck, and andrea santoro aka santorini, both from puglia, proudly represent the new school of deep thinking producers from a country not generally known for such restraint. if you have been following santorini or bucks output of late, you will know that italy is more than just the land of shuffled techno.. there is a deeper music movement in the country, and these guys are two of the best.

mikael stavöstrand and cesare vs disorder are not new names to techno or house, and between them they have an impressive discography of over 40 releases that have consistently maintained their underground integrity, winning over the hearts of the electronic music elite. there is no doubt why the bulk of their supporters seem to be the most esteemed listeners, and when we see their names together we have no choice but to be compelled to listen. after making their collaborative debut with part 1 on dumb unit in january 2011, the pair comes clean with a follow up ep on clink that is earthy, sexy and elegant.

spindizzy is a deftly crafted funked-up tech house track. constructed from a palette of harmonically aligned keys, bass and horns, its intensity comes from the measured way in which each element is given the space to breath its own energy into the mix. pacey but musical, subtle yet memorable, this is a standout record.
luke slater adding his bass sodden l.b dub corp twist to the track completes the package. deeply dubbed-out tribal rhythms take the mix on a more left-of centre path that winds through a busy soundscape of atmospheric acoustics that seem to breathe in deeply before being exhaled in a release of firing percussion.

first up on the a side is the bouncy sound of boogie down, co produced with he of liquid v fame ? dj mosus. with its hip hop flavour, acid overtones, squelchy leadlines and rumbling bass this is a track aimed straight at the dancefloor without compromising on integrity...boogie on down yo!

its rare these days that a song can rock the dance floor while maintaining quality and integrity but also leave you inspired by the message in the music. house nation is a prime example of this combination. double impulse delivers a groovy chicago beat with a gritty electroish bassline filtering in and out while layered sweeping synth pads glide on top. house nation strips it down and moves into slightly more techy territory with a bouncing bassline and dubbed out cut up vocal snippets.
