retrofit reaches release no. 4 with a solo endeavour from boss jay shepheard that truly encapsulates the labels mantra of referencing vintage house, disco and techno but laying it in a sheen of contemporary sonic dynamism. this is more than evident on the expertly paced >all over my nord< which is driven by a richly elastic analogue bassline riding the slick syncopation. a surfeit of melodic stabs imbues the track with real energy whilst the gradual rise to dominance of a pad wash drenched in detroit atmospherics adds the requisite emotion! this is complemented by the much more immediate >string theory< which opens the b side with a master class in future retro jacking house business whilst >kuderskis groove< bridges the gap between filtered disco aesthetics and deep house bpms with nonchalant ease. prime dj business once again from the retrofit camp.

clink closes out the year with a powerful double pack from tony rohr, titled >oddmatik<. this is his first solo release on clink since 2008, proving that the best come to those who wait. refining what is most popularly known has his >voodoo techno< sound, rohr has accomplished a mature collection of six diverse tracks via his virus b, nord modular, lead 2, an elektron monomachine and machinedrum. each piece has a different charisma, ranging from melancholy house to peak techno, achieving an absorbing variation of ideas that only a few are able to do so fluently. rohr is one of new yorks most prolific and interesting techno artists and has an impressive discography dating back to 1999. he has achieved popular releases on iconic imprints like cocoon, plus 8, drumcode, weave and podium, and works closely on production with american heavy-weights tim xavier, alexi delano and john selway. his charismatic and futuristic production style is ever-present throughout his music, and he maintains an unparalleled and dynamic sound while staying in tune with the ever-evolving techno and house genres. >oddmatik< summarizes tonys eleven-year journey in the studio and on the stage, and is some of his most compelling work to date.

the hideout deconstruction revisited series is going into phase two, here we go: after the french connection (d julz and paul ritch ) , this new release sees a more international bundle of top class producers : to start , we have dusseldorfs master producer martin buttrich (desolat , planet e , ...) put his magic hands on davide squillace & luca bacchetti s around the bay ( ho001). the track starts with an >acoustic style< beat and, a strong sine sub bass line, evolving to a jacking groove with rising vocal sample , intelligent synth lines , and arabic flute break. on b2 , carola pisaturo ( titbit , claque) delivers a more minimal rework , using bouncy sub bass , vocal snipets , 909 snare and clap ... giving davide squillace and luca bacchettis around the bay a rebirth. on the flip side, mathias kadens ( vakant , cocoon ) relecture starts with a strong shuffled tribal beat , 909 toms , synth lines ... mathias interprets the original elements of around the bay in a very personal way , dropping snipets into reverbs and delays in order to create a deep rising atmosphere untill the track peaks.

after several hot tunes on worthy�s anabatic imprint, birminghams tom flynn joins the ranks of the dirtybird crew. i ve battle tested the a-side of this record all around the world. >catch that bird< is a rare mix of deep rooted funk whilst also sounding like a caribbean jungle track pitched down to 126. my favorite!
i d play this ep just on the strength of the a-side but i feel like a lot of attention will also be given to the b-side called >rhode island<. this is a classic piece of deep house with all the melodic elements of a dirtybird jam.
tom sent me at least 7 tracks before i signed these so the guy is certainly prolific and i expect to hear quite a bit more from this up and comer this year.
enjoy,
claude vonstroke
