this preview ep is a teaser of two of the tracks from the album especially built for the club. >warsaw by night< is a rough and rugged tech burner that sounds like detroit via poland. and the dirty version adds and extra bit of growl to the equation for those who really want to throw it down.
>i’m the one who’s crazy< is a booming barbecue shaker that mixes elements of hip-hop, soul and house into a low end killer.

classic alert! the first official repress and this time on 2lp. a dream come true! full info soon... this is a very special record. our favourite contender for best house album ever made. this album does not have one filler, all tracks are essential pieces of house music. of course, it includes the more known do you know who you are and in a vision. but check out ride and school hall for instance. originally released under m.e., and much overlooked. this album will be released with new artwork and re-mastered tracks. the vinyl will be available as 2x12, 2 tracks per side loud pressing !! virgo are merwyn sanders and eric lewis. they also recorded as ace & the sandman and m.e. and shouldn-t be confused with the other virgo of vince lawrence and co.

story continues its immaculate run of bottom-heavy deephouse with 4 special treats from this british underground figure that make an earthquake like introduction to the scene with 3 anonymous 12inches only that are already sought after and destined to become collectors items. an acid house veteran that followed the whole uk rave progression to harder techno, he harks back to his early influences with his productions by building his dense, jacking slo-mo house grooves around hip-hop and soul samples. cuts like >the rub< or >dh13< and take their time to slowly sneak-up on you casting a bigger and bigger shadow until you are totally immersed in the smoky, dub-filled atmosphere that has a similar feel to the psychedelic soul of motowns norman whitfild or the rzas mystic hip-hop soundscapes. >whobadu< trades for 4/4 pattern for a looser, handclapping 80s funk groove that should cross-over into the box of every more discerned hip-hop dj, while >olufeme< is a stripped down, fela style afro groover with mighty dubbed-out horn loops. four tracks that will keep all you dancers, booty shakers and headnodders happy for a long time
