summer edit featuring a special track for free parties, plus includes an uncommon track with overdrive percusions. brandcash has a real addiction for sophisticated synths, timetothink (purpose mix) seeks to go as far as it can bewith such sounds in a techno way, pushing the limit ... just before the core music.
whereas the planck constant mix is kicking a hypnotically lead-sound, turning detroit influenced at some moments. jayg05 ends with a very loud side b, focusing on 2 basic elements: kick and percussion. drummer 404 on side b features a real massive kick and saturating percussion. a sound you havent heard in a long time.

tony ollivierras issued a generous number of singles and eps under the ibex moniker on rushhour, planet e, yore, and his own ibex music, and now follows up his 2010 yore release, meltdown, with absolution, though this time under his birth name. no matter: ollivierras music sounds great, whether issued under his real name or an alias, and absolution is no exception. the infectious title cut gets things moving with a bass-powered blend of claps and funky rhythms before chunky house chords and silken synth figures add to the tracks multi-layered splendour. a jazzier dimension rises to the surface of quick release when the tunes churning hi-hats are joined by royally swinging electric piano playing and luscious synth pads.phase down opts for a purer deep house sound in its focus on kick drums, claps, and futuristic synths, though the track proves that ollivierras naturally funky side cant help but emerge, here as it does elsewhere.

opening track >what i do< introduces the ep on a poignant note with its sombre keys and emotive vocal flourishes without forsaking any of the force at its fingertips, driven by the bubbling subs and electric midrange. >fall< then sweeps in on a lush bed of glistening keys, soft vocal flourishes and a skipping drum line before crashing back down to earth with waves of warping bass tones blasting through the low end of the track. counterpointed by the soaring synth notes that flicker above, mydas balances the light and dark elements brilliantly.

vinyl only ! czr channel zoo recordings from ibz deliver the belearic vibes to us - its time for michael james to introduce the label with some classic pumping vocal house - movin! already the most forward thinking music project ever to hit the island of ibiza, channel zoo was initially an event offering a variety of cutting edge new sounds, provided by the unrivaled underground house and techno record labels of the future. with rapid development from ibiza into hosting channel zoo events at the most prominent clubs in europe featuring only the best artists it was only a matter of time before a serious imprint was established.

hollands fah aka robin de bekker enters the scene with this heavy, braindance inspired five tracker. opener fine space is spooky and upbeat with false melodies fighting the tracks ground level acid bubbles.bonus orbits starts off as a fast electronic harpsichord cut for a smart dance floor before turning into a hectic swamp of challenging harmonies.sixears is a shorter track holding the middle ground between a moody elecktroids tune and hectic, vibert-like acid. the eps title track and centerpiece then, is characterized by rewinds, whistles, haunting melodies and a total lack of repetition, its a 9 minute long excursion into the most unreal part of bekkers mind. fah finally says goodbye with an eerie cut that sounds like a humming predator with no food to eat. fahs first one for 030303 comes with appropriate, occultist artwork.

nice price deal !!! being in the same gene pool as pat sharpes hair is enough of a stigma to steer any young djs career off course - deep in the discos of pop trash. fortunately for metaphi / metske, although still benefitting from the same glossy 90s locks as the radio-jock/distant uncle, musical inspiration came from more complex climates. wigflex006 acts as a fine electronic switchboard to metaphis archive of talents, a complicated circuit board of the experimental ranging from hip hop, idm, and garage to blues harmonicas and classical rifts, seamlessly melted into one gloop of green circuitry where each musical discipline must co-exist with another. as metske the bpms hover around 95, the framework is hip-hop, the sound often skwee but the influences thereafter are endless, slow train blues clicks its way through a steam train intro before marring the lines between electronic music and the blues with a self-composed harmonica rift worthy of howlin wolf. at the same tempo spin states delves into the cosmic with pipey neon chords and bit-crunched bass: sega mega drive boss level business. metaphis taste for big room techno is blatant and genetically wigflex over sharpflex, and in terms of nationality its mongrel, half notts, half eastern europe. with concious mentis hes keeping things minimal but charged from lower frequencies and messmode progresses with some serious dancefloor swagger.

summer is here people and ovum recordings are about to kick start the season with yet another label debut from dirty channels & bugsy. and this time it already comes recommended. techno takes a back seat as the label continue their stunning run of house releases with alone. label chief josh wink had asked house don, dave pezzner if he had anything in the locker for ovum. having just completed his own rework of alone, he sent it across and within minutes the ovum crew had fallen for its charms. josh actually tweaked the original pezzner remix for his own sets and before long has snapped up the whole release for ovum. dirty channels team up with longtime friend bugsy on the deliciously smooth alone. with their warm bassline, velvety synth and the sultry vocals of amina, the trio have delivered the perfect summer soundtrack. with a brace of mixes from wink backed with a reworked and refreshed double from pezzner, ovum are ready to turn up the heat. enjoy!

killer release on new yorks sequencias label. powerful and hypnotic chicago acid inspired cut on the a and a cool slow building chord driven track layered over raw drum rhythms on the b-side. recommended!! label promo text: sequencias does not stop, does not conform, takes no prisoners. our third release brings you a pair of artists from two different points along interstate 94, who have a reputation for the very same. so lets get to it. the main body laid down by villan x is tight metallic percussion underpinned by solid kicks and a stream of robotic filtered bass, containing unexpected shifts within the frequency register. foreboding tones and feelings drift towards us across which the disembodied voice of kold is able to find a platform from which to shudder into our consciousness and pose questions from across the galaxies about the nature of our very being. dcantu carries on the feelings of space, with protracted white noise shots and stabby modulated organ chords, but doesnt leave it long before setting the pace with solid drums and shifting keyboard funk aimed squarely your body and the dance floor as octave changes force you up and then down again to a backdrop thick with texture. this provides for the body and the mind. act fast though, sequencias does not like to rest.

when dynamodyse made his debut on wph back in 2009 he struck a chord (pun intended) with lovers of emotional deep house worldwide. hailing from dortmund, mathias matze schmitt is a special character that immediately fit the bunch of wph nutters, so it was only a matter of time before he would be back with a second release. which incidentally will be his second release ever, which goes to show how much he trusts wph and how much wph trusts dynamodyse.

following on from the massively popular philadelphia international: the re-edits package, here is the 2nd release in our special philly 40 campaign which is celebrating the 40th anniversary of philadelphia international records. welcome to the hugely anticipated >philadelphia international classics: the tom moulton remixes<. tom moultons involvement with philadelphia international spans the entire 40 years of their existence with many of his early mixes unaccredited in the era before the 12 inch disco disc. in 1977 pir released the ground-breaking historic original double lp philadelphia classics which featured 8 of tom moultons greatest pir mixes. the album has subsequently been reissued several times and is rightly hailed as a must have classic for any serious music lovers collection.

r&s are proud to announce the debut single from new signings teengirl fantasy. with the superb >7am< released in 2010, and the un-escapable >cheaters< anthem from that album still lighting up dancefloors, it is now time for tgf to step up with album number two, but before that non album track >motif< is bold statement of intent.
on remix duties steps up actress, who has just released his amazing >rip< album, as soon as you put the needle on the record you know it couldnt be from anyone else. he has supplied a deep and heavy groove that is deceptively simple, yet sucks you in and leaves you wanting more.

two years in the making, with tunes recorded in 4 different countries, >cant help it< aims to be a modern prototype for further directions in future r&b and soul music.

a year after aretha franklin had been crowned the queen of soul, she decided to leave columbia for her famous stint at atlantic. just before she recorded her first records with them, columbia released >soul sister<, a collection of recordings from their vaults. aretha may not have yet reached the heights she would in her later career, this collection shows an artist in the making, her raw talent budding with hope, grace and fire.
>soul sister< is now not only made available again for the first time since 1966, music on vinyl is also releasing it with completely re-mastered audio on 180 grams audiophile vinyl!

the moritz von oswald trio operates at the bleeding edges where musical lineages collide. feeling for the shared heartbeat that pulses through dub, techno and jazz, it seeks out points of contact before exploding them outward into hypnotic explorations of rhythm, texture and tone. after two previous studio albums and one live album through honest jons, the trio - moritz von oswald, max loderbauer (nsi / sun electric) and sasu ripatti (vladislav delay / luomo) - returns with fetch, their most fully-realized voyage yet into these in-between worlds.

roundabout sounds is back in 2012 with a project that was over a year in the making. the power ep is a tribute to the late aaron-carl that contains the last track he made before he left us. as a result, we gathered a handful of supporting artists to put together this double-vinyl (only) project. rest in peace aaron-carl and thank you for the memories!

steve bug drops a new outstanding 12inch on his own highly prolific poker flat recordings. those grooves is the perfect primer for his upcoming album (due out in autumn 2012), and sees the man in fine form - masterfully in control of his sound and producing tracks with a depth of dancefloor knowledge most other producers would die for. those grooves, the lead track locks into its exquisitely crafted groove early on, holding a taut balance between its individual elements. mid way through its 10 minutes, bug drops the tempo and lets the groove breath, before bringing it all back home - an audacious late night club weapon. the flip side is no less dramatic – tell me why creeps up, evolving slowing but surely – before an edgy, freaked out bass line drops over the crisp drums. a true peak time burner with enough energy and tension to smash any floor.

unreleased egyptian jazz: 2x45s set in a unique hand-printed fold-open pyramid! four sides of previously-unreleased ethnic mythic mystic jazz from the legendary egyptian drummer! before the re-release of his album with the cairo jazz band recently, the name salah ragab was best known to jazz fans and record collectors by way of another lp that was recorded with sun ra in the early 70s. his album >prism music unit< with the cairo jazz band was released in egypt with another by the cairo free jazz ensemble, but perhaps only salah himself knew of the other songs he had recorded at the time, but didnt make it onto these lps. the tapes lurking for decades in an old trunk, its taken until now for them to see the light of day, and we present them here as four amazing pieces of egyptian jazz on 2 seven inch singles. entombed within a hand-printed, hand-made pyramid shaped box, this is the first time in 40 years that these recordings will have come to light. ladies and gentlemen, behold the splendor that is salah ragab and the cairo jazz band!

after whalesongs huge run on trelik, och represents his new four tracker: roadmaster on all inn. aside comes with roadmaster, an almost nine minutes long flash on the time-travelling train, and before the road ends a voice tells us gently that we are close to the borders. on flipside the brotherhood of spacey tribalism and twisiting house-rollers is visualized by the parts of fever dubs. stunning package by the hands of the english wizard,och.

around 3 weeks before the release of oliver deutschmanns double cd slim audio wax01 comes as an appetizer for that multimediapackage. we see the brilliant christopher rau and moomin team up for the drum fuelled deepness of a place at night, deutschmann himself at his most retrospective in tourist crap and milton bradley delivers his experimental and sick interpretation of oliver deutschmanns tourist crap track. oldschool techno and house all the way. enjoy!

so what is after the void ... we bang the bomb of course with a lady in a thong surrounded by snakes and hand grenades, obvious really! having been away for some time it appears that a light sounds dark spring is in the air. en route to their next destination (rumoured to be a dark subterranean world full of nasty mutants danger electrified tracks out this summer) with arms out the window and the mothership roof down, its full steam ahead and proper european dance music time. not really train spotting as before although a couple are a bit off piste like maltas very own ian dury by the name of iain richardson rapping about sitting on a green bus! much more like it however are classic italo covers of big in japan, gloria, a wonderful new wave version of falcos euro smash der kommissar and the thoughts massive german hit wait a long time sounding like some long lost talk talk record. light sounds dark do some minor tweaking (going for that natural look) to big beast anthems axodrys you and colme 111s you take me high (early euro take on chicago) and for lovers of something a bit more funky theres some groovy goings on from kraut funksters epsilon urging people to leave the city which might not be a bad idea if the water runs out.

ok, to call this album long awaited or highly anticipated would be a non sequitur. what lies here before you is sculpted out of the blood and tears of 5 years of life, and all the dreams, imagination, tristesse and longing that goes along with it. the name orgue electronique shouldnt be new to you, cause it isnt. for over a decade it has been lurking in the periphery of house music - forever too early or too late for the trend, be it as a solo artist or working alongside legowelt. but it seems the apotheosis is finally here, in the form of this mesmerizing double album: wholly matured and further enhanced by collaborations with luminaries like robert owens, alden tyrell and cult hero fre2k. but to just dismiss this as a retro house record would be to sell it short in a big way. sure it was influenced by the usual bunch of pioneers and icons, but this is not an epigone, this is music that is. its warm and generous, made up of real emotions, of moments frozen in time and of the impassioned cries of a soul on the run. thats right, this aint no hipster shit dime-a-dozen facebook house gonzales! to finally let it go after so many years is - for all the parties involved - a strange yet exciting moment, not unlike the birth of an elephant baby. out of a human female

keeping up the detroit sound with high-class contributions from dutch artists, field strikes with another exciting collection of tracks. this seventh ep provides deep cuts by the likes of duplex, conforce, eshu and counterpart.

frustrated funks limited vinyl series drops another crazy slice of experimental electro wax. gary kempston, brother of clatterbox, and co-owner of the z-bop label has been on frustrated funks to-do list for a long time.we have been running his music though the frustrated funk quality control for some years and now the time is right to drop this amazing collection of tracks. goliath has his own fresh and unique sound palette and his music is miles away from anything else.all nicely packed,highly limited hand stamped and numbered colored vinyl. grab one before its gone!

a new label from some of the decision makers at juno arrives in the shape of love interest, promising a release schedule that eschews genres in favour of seeking out international talent that piques their fancy. minneapolis-based nyteowl is at the helm for the first release with >love of mine<. this clear vinyl twelve inch edition sports two fine remixes from boy 8 bit and mighty mouse, which naturally take the 80s swagger of the original in differing directions. boy 8 bit calls on all his studio trickery with a remix that constantly shifts sonically before dropping into an excellent final detuned synth passage, whilst nu-disco troupe mighty mouse are on soaring form, adding some meat to that beat, whilst nyteowls vocal hitches a ride on an upwards arpeggio.

ltd warehouse found! how many moons do we have in space? stephan bodzin and marc romboy will give us the answer one fine day. now they have called two of their tracks after the moons telesto (moon of the saturn, discovered in 1980) and hydra (moon of pluto, discovered in 2005!) and both have a pretty dark atmosphere, deep sounds and again impressing chord moog basslines you have not heart before. after the great >the alchemist< single on 20/20 vision and >atlas< on systematic and their remix on williams >shivering< another masterpiece to watch out for. massive hit

following the war cry of their fi rst single >speeddance<,reptile youth return with another sublime 7inch for hfn music.the second single taken from their upcoming album >black swan born white< sees the youth expand their sound towards a grandiose post-punk pop. already a live favourite at their increasingly intense gigs, mads damsgaard kristiansen vocals soar above the funk-driven robo-rhythm, while an instantly addictive melody references their newwave roots.on the b side, londons futuristic psychedelic no-wavers s.c.u.m provide a remix that drenches the vocals in waves of reverb and suspense, before the track explodes into a churning power riff.

when the house music phenomenon was beginning, chicago djs like ron hardy and new yorkers such as frankie knuckles and larry levan would edit records for their own purposes, removing the parts they felt to be superfluous, concentrating instead on extending grooves and hooks, often adding their own basic synth lines and toughening up the percussion with what have now become classic synthesizers and drum machines. warehouse classics vol.1 holds 4 killer tracks going from obscure disco to new wave, first popularised at the music box and rarely heard anywhere else. sir leon greg (another incarnation of perseus traxx) jams out then reinforces some edits of forgotten classics with a raw & personal analogue treatment for a devastating full effect on the dance floor, that is a far cry from the proliferation of over-produced squeaky-clean software edits. these are basic, raw ideas thrown down quickly and capturing the energy on 1/4 inch tape before moving on to the next set of sounds. musically, its as delightfully funky and uncomplicated as youd expect, a mesh of disco tracks and heavy, effect laden, machine-funk. essential item!!

on >work that shit party<, a fingers inc. style rhythm buttresses a two-note riff, a crackling male voice filtering in from the ether. a pinging keyboard zips around before that two-note flicker expands and contracts, warps and wheedles. but around halfway in, a female vocal refrain of >gonna work it out< breaks fat lacerations into pinholes, blaring keyboards seeping in through the gaps and crevices. then, as with >d117<, it is the congealing of all these disparate elements: a work it out from fischerspooners lizzy yoder sashaying with the two-note riff, the keyboards bouncing off the ceiling, and flaring hi-hats fraying the surface played by pat mahoney (lcd soundsystem). each portion is given its due, only to make the ensuing combination that much more enthralling.

2012 - we are milleniumized neo, more than ever before. 1993, when techno was all over the place, german experts tommi eckart (at that time not 2raumwohnung yet) and ralf hertwig (at that time not palais schaumburg anymore) released a track, which found its way out there as a legendary underground-club classic in germany,england, benelux and france: the beat just goes straight on and on. its been sold out for years, but djs still play it in the clubs and it never lost its beat. now in 2012, almost 20 years later, the vinyl reissue being released, including the original cut and a remix by matthew styles & tobi neumann. it just goes on and on, enjoy!

shit robot returns with his first new material since the release of his debut long-player, >from the cradle to the rave<. after spending much of 2010 and 2011 touring the globe with his live show – including a string of dates opening/performing with lcd soundsystem during their final shows in nyc - the rebooted robot is back with >the green machine<. the first result of his stuttgart/new york studio adventures is a double-header of dancefloor jams, >teenage bass b/w >space race<, which is released on vinyl and digital on dfa on may 21 2012. its the first in a series of releases called >the green machine<, which will culminate in an album early next year. lead cut >teenage bass< rides a rude ebm bassline and rave alert sirens, before expanding further with key changing chords and a defining arpeggiator. the hypnotic >space race< is a distant relative of 2007s chasm – a meandering, melodic, star-gazing robo-techno workout

stryker matthews is a new york city based producer and dj by way of northern california by way of southern california. drawing influences from most of the continents with people living on them, he works to create rhythmically focused music that moves hips and spills drinks. stryker grew up in san juan capistrano, ca playing guitar and drums in a string of bands who mastered the fine art of garage-based rocking before moving to the bay area and finding an interest in club music as a new class of producers with fresh takes on dance production began to flood the world wide web. upon completing his first set of original tracks, he caught the ear of dubstep pioneer, skream, who signed the tunes to his imprint, disfigured dubz.

dj support from. dj koze, scuba, peason sound, maya jane cole, craig richards, untold, midland, mosca, ame, dexter, sven vath, agoria, jackmaster, george fitzgerald, paul woolford, will saul, comix, carl craig! the third release from mysterious double act dense & pika sees them returning to the more low slung techno vibes of their first release. 31 is a slow burner, submerged beats shuffle along before the tracks off kilter millsianesque riff is introduced which gradually oscillates in intensity throughout.a truly heady experience all wrapped up in d&ps super skilled production, it was a feature in jackmasters recent ra podcast and has gained further support from a wide range of djs from dj koze to sven vath. flip sides bad ink ratchets up the tension with a serious warehouse style jam, big booming cavernous kicks and twisted fx stamp their mark before dropping into a raw melancholic bass riff that takes the track to epic heights

thinking too much/where the helios is juk juks second release on nommos. thinking too much is the most direct juk juk release so far. its peak time fare, aimed squarely at the dancefloor. the dreamy intro will fool the unsuspecting, sucking them in and propelling them on a tripped out ride on a techno ghost train, buffered by a cushion of warm throbbing bass. where the helios is the real dream side. a floating, hallucinogenic, spaced out drift, driven by a crisp, pared back rhythm and a gorgeous, woozy vocal- led melody. juk juks first release for nommos was unwrap/fall and before that his debut, winter turn spring/frozen, was put out by kieran (four tet) hebden on his highly regarded text label. all juk juks output to date has been critically acclaimed, coverage including fact magazine, pitchfork, mix mag, abeano, the fader amongst others. his releases have also received significant club and radio plays including mainstream radio 1 support from admirers giles peterson and rob da bank, who has promised support for this release. four tet said the room went off when playing thinking too much at a recent event.

ander-traxx is a fresh label operating out of glasgow with the intent of releasing righteous underground house, and although mainly a platform for the labels founder alex-ander to showcase his own productions, ander-traxxs remit also includes the presentation of unknown talent for future releases. for this first release, alex steps up to the plate to deliver because of me, followed by 3 remixes from artists born and raised in glasgow. the original kicks things off with its intro of glacial pads and jittery hats, before quickly delving into a seriousely deep groove brimming with melodic layers. although because of me gives a strong nod to the recent developements of producers like omar s and kyle hall, it undoubtedly has the hallmarks of an alex-ander production, his unique arrangements coming to the forefront while still complimenting the crisp percussion that drives the track forward. carlos nilmmns (co founder of the formidable solab production unit) mix is a much more off-kilter and submerged affair. nilmmns plays down the epic quality of the original and adds chugging rhythmics and sweetcured piano work for a lesson in divine repetition. mesumas feedback mix goes in for the dancefloor attack, not surprising for a gentleman whos previous work has seen releases on hardgroove and seventh sign. rolling toms and a booming kick meet aquatic vocal samples and spectral harmonicas, and will still please those partial to deeper sounds. last up to give because of me the rework treatment is meschi (lunar disko, lux, snuff traxx), who mixes his chicago influenced analogue stylings perfectly with the source material. stripped down crescendos build up to a euphoric drop, and meschis elated melodies bring another twist to this excercise in deep funk. because of me is one of those rare e.ps that works just as well in a non-club enviroment as it does on the dancefloor. with this warning shot, alex-ander will surely be capturing the ears of many in 2012 and beyond.

keeping up their ethos of dancefloor >edits with the love left in< hmd bounce back on a1 with monster from their 3rd compilation. never before released as a 12 inch and much in demand from djs who have heard it in hmd sets, its a whole horse meat disco original track laid out underneath the original vocal acapella. playable peak time or at the end of the night its as deep as disco gets! on b1 a majestic and imperial take on a classic one more time the hmders push the way too short original track and lengthen it into a luscious, euphoric anthem. hmd take all responsibility for end of the night spontaneous dancefloor hug-ins. on b2 the boys have taken the squelchy synths of a real underground track and turned up the intensity that they felt seem to disapated in the original. keeping the vocals pretty much as they are including all the whoops and yelps that make the track so exciting hmd have stayed true to the original but have just given it the horse meat touch. a bit of added percusion and a whole lotta love.

apartments 3rd release comes courtesy of acclaimed producer lerosa. for this, his first release of 2012, he delivers 4 electro-based cuts, a rarely seen side to the man predominantly known for his house productions. the sparse and melancholic combat starts off proceedings, before titaniums throbbing bass, combined with mr. rosas unique melodic sensibilities, increases the pace. on the b-side slavery is a furious acid jam, constantly rising in energy over hectic percussion and a wall-shaking electro beat. finishing on decisions, the pace is reduced considerably while the acid stays intact, delivering the 12 inchs only 4/4 kick for what is lerosas most euphoric cut to date.

bukaddor & fishbeck return with a brand new vinyl 12 inch on mbf. this release manifests again a side of theirs one has not seen before. truthfully speaking this release has more understatement then you would expect from bukaddor & fishbeck. following their pearl >camino< their new a-side >zippy disco< is based on a deep house groove with chords that will never surface and through that work in the best fashion of detroit and chicago techno and house. we have had some deja-vus listening to this track, so see for yourself if you hear some johnny fiasco or daniel bell creating this coolness and sexiness. and let us tell you, this track is a smasher!

rising parisian producer yakines career pretty much defines the word eclectic — in his teens, he was a bona fide metalhead, playing guitar in a metal band that toured all over europe, before his love of hip hop steered him in the direction of the dancefloor. he really found his home behind the decks, however, and once he discovered the world of electronic music via the patronage of his brother—who introduced him to the sounds of underground deep house and techno — yakine quickly moved into production. he has since released a series of eps on european labels like esperanza and jetaime records. the rise ep is his first release for spectral sound, a four-track slab of understated, atmospheric techno.

cultivated electronics moves into its 10th release and second of 2012 with an ep from long standing dutch electro pioneer frank de groodt under his sonar base alias. this is the 3rd landing from sonar base whose legendary first album sonar bases 1 - 4 was released on u trax in 1995 before his second release beyond hoag s object ii on daz qualye s scsi-av imprint 10 year s later in 2005. frank started out on djax records in 1994 with multiple releases as the operator and optic crux before his more recent releases as fastgraph on klakson. we attack before dawn ep gives a nod to the mid 90 s electro sound of underground resistance with 3 killer cuts from sonar base and a remix from ce label head sync 24.

support by butane,someone else,jeremy p.caulfield..

finally the remixes of the celebrated jonsson/alter mod album is here – featuring no less than minilogue, donato dozzy and dorisburg (half of swedish duo genius of time). my god, that took some time. but no harm is done. all remixes has some kind uplifting and sunny trance mode to them, so as it turns out, this is actually the prefect spring release.minilogue starts out with the track kyrka 2.0 and ads both speed and length. donato takes on the track acapellan and does everything right. keeping the beautiful vocals of the original, donato adds bass line and new drums. the ep closes with another swedish contribution. alexander berg aka dorisburg from duo genius of time reworks djup house, and does it well. a solid bass line keeps us grounded to the dance floor while dreamy melodies and harmonies gently lift our serotonin levels. enjoy! before leaving you to the music we would like to thank minilogue, donato dozzy, dorisburg and last but not least, henrik jonsson and joel alter

180gr vinyl!! bjak and dubbyman team up to become twin beats on the latters deep explorer imprint. this is the pairs first collaborative release, but their studio chemistry is there for all to see as the first few bars of >do it properly< ease out through your speakers. its floaty, jazz-flecked house bathed in pools of gently rippling bass tones, and things are given a sophisticated edge by the adroit vocals of brian cullen. this shares the a-side with the slightly more upbeat >water walk with me<, with cullen matching marvin belton in the modern day soulful crooner stakes. flip over for a remix of the title track from - gulp - larry heard, with the chicagoan legend turning in a typically sumptuous slice of machine soul that naturally hogs the vast majority of the b-side, before an excellent ep is rounded off by a beatless outro
