as a man well versed in the moves of the old-school, fabio monesi launches his albion imprint with the immaculately executed styles of 623, full of sexy 90s synth notes and crisp, pumping beats. washerman brings a more rugged style on his remix of the tune, dropping in some cheeky and thoroughly familiar samples, while the melody wobbles around an amorphous scale. the peephouse finds monesi reaching back to the soothing organ tones of the dx7, with a gentle and piano-driven throw down that stills carries plenty of heft for the floor. rio padice steps up for another remix of 623 and spreads a strange and nervous shape-shifter of a late-night jam, scattering the vocals like confetti and nudging the drums out of joint on a whim.

fitzpatrick tracks are immediately recognizable for their refusal to conform to the norm. this latest release, the subject of much hype and anticipation, is no different. lead track, skeksis conjures up an unlikely fusion of a pumped-up dub techno groove and a 90s trance vocal to create a slow-burning, emotive bomb.

on this second remix 12 inch pbr streetgang deliver a wonderfully deep modern house groove, toby tobias delivers 2 mixes straight out of the 90s basement and glaswegian wunderkind barrientos offers a kind of sun-kissed gypsy woman style re-invention.

pulse locker refers to the analog method of synching analog modular instruments and drum machines, a method of working john tejada & josh humphrey have embraced to generate their trademark sounds and grooves. preferring to work away from the computer as much as possible, john and josh have adapted a more old school approach to their work, syncing analog gear together, not from a computer, but the way it was synced back in the day. the results are a tight, organic analog sound showcased particularly by the 2nd track >bifur gates<. with a tr-808 as master clock, syncing the modular system, the sound takes you back to the mid 90s era of techno. real 808 beats, punchy bass and an ever so shifting classic chord line will leave you lingering for the days of old. on the a side, >pulse locker< with its big and warm groove, gets things moving with a blend of house and techno. rounding out the ep, >unanimous arc< showcases the mad acid sounds possible on the sh-101 while modular chords elevate the track to a manic pace. >pulse locker< marks the duos third collaboration on palette recordings.

dj nature aka milo steps uponce again to the indispensable golf channel label, with his eagerly awaited debut artist album comprising all original material. a founding member of legendary bristol sound-system collective the wild bunch (which spawned massive attack, tricky and much more), nature made nyc his home in the early 90s & went on to collaborate with the major force crew in japan, before hooking up with gc boss phil south, who thankfully persuaded him to don his production cap once again. there followed a series of acclaimed 12 inch releases through gc which developed a trademark sound, a sound he’s fully realised on >return of the savage<. natures unique take on modern black music is somewhere between the bass heavy sound system cuts on which he cut his teeth and the more nuanced vibe of peers like theo parrish. irresistible, low slung and beautifully structured yet raw club pieces make up this outstanding selection - a superbly packaged gatefold double lp, complete with download codes for individual tracks as well as the mixed version.

copy paste soul is a london based producer who makes warped yet warm deep house, which soothes the soul without missing a beat. over the last year this highly skilled artist has been making tunes to satisfy those wanting fresh sounds with a brittle edge and echoes of classic 90s dance music. the crossover appeal of tunes such as >want it< is obvious for all to hear and latest track >makes you feel good< does exactly what the title states.
with huge tunes like >84 vintage< and >so good< already under his belt, copy paste soul has an ever expanding army of fans in the dj community. annie mac called his productions gorgeous, while the legendary laurent garnier has been hammering these tunes in his set. tensnake and pearson sound are also big supporters and this moreish music has been played by skream & benga on their radio1 show and by brackles on rinse fm. this is only the beginning for copy paste soul, a producer who makes sounds of the future now…

4th release by 12records, presenting the new deep88 >removing dust< ep (taken from the forthcoming >removing dust< album that will be released later on this year). main single is a2 >the vibe<, a classic 90s beat made over a real melody, where vocals parts crossover and match each others, in two differents peaks, to create a whole >vibe< flow from the start till the end of the song. a1 is a test signal experiment, where samples take a different level, a sort of meta sample, a sample into a sample… well, have a listen, its easier to understand that way. bside is 3 tracks long, not a common practice in todays ep releases. b1 >grancartridge<, a moodymann house style raw song, b2 is even more raw sampling style, meanwhile b3 is a dreamy vocal house tune more common to deep88s style. the result is a mature ep, that ntroduces the 2nd deep88 album, always on 12records, and that will bring him into that >serious< realm of making house that is seen in some elite today (funny isn’t it… at the end it is just about music and we all have ears… maybe)... btw less marketing on our head, this 12inch wont be a coloured or hand written limited release, just the good old classic black one (yes it sounds better folks) and no limited copies… when is close to finish we will repress as usual.

it has been 10 years since their debut lp, díscolo (pueblo records, 2002), made waves with the national critics. their new album is once again surprising and the band sounds as fresh as when they started their journey at the end of the 90s. sale (lovemonk, 2012) combines an extraordinary energy with passages of meticulous precision and goes from wild to calm in a way that is both unexpected yet natural. thelonius monk, cartoons, cinematic landscapes, rocks past, africa, surf and the ballad come together in an album as great as it is as unpredictable.
