sev dah brings his brand of powerful, no-nonsense techno with the mighty, pounding xanax. life of the unborn takes a more experimental approach and offers a dark and haunting soundscape. inter gritty is on remix duty, stripping it down and turning the ep around with his jacking, chicago-inspired take on xanax.

5 beat tracks & 1 deep house tune that are classic in the sense that beat tracks have formed the glue between styles in many djs bags. the arrangements & familiar drum kits will sure to bring the nostalgia back to many.

if you re going to beat em down, you need the right tools. on the label s second release, grimy trax has given you a couple hammers. the a-side, dejay cease s the fixer is straight chicago. we re talking banging 909 funk that might be found buried on a particularly unhinged ron hardy mix. a simple bass line and two notes of acid are all it takes to make the floor go wild. this is functional heat with enough atmosphere to engage the mind, body and soul. on the b-side, rising chicago son boogienite proves he s earned the hype. boy, ok is an instant classic thanks to some recognizable disco strings and a funky escalator of a bassline. the producer uses a trippy, rubberband synth which eventually turns into rhythmic, teasing vocal. the mixdown is ridiculous, especially as the lengthy track passes the halfway mark. boogie brings the bassline in and out in between beautiful ambient rhodes and a call and response male and female vocal. those strings hit again and you feel no pain.

drawing from its palette of chicago house, acid, detroit house and techno, this recently in 2014 established berlin based record label dizzy tunes dedicates itself to pure analogue work on vinyl only. dj krime, who has forced people to the dancefloor for 25 years now, gives his debut on his label. being the first release, dizzy001 follows the straight internal line offering four distinctive chicago house tracks of whom one is a remix, this time by none other than chicago legend tyree cooper.

well, well, well! our teutonic chums come through once again with the secret selections you vinyl-junkies love to love! house master boyz get ripped up, but this aint chicago and it aint 1986! that classic acid house refrain gets welded onto some distinctly brand new / retro sonics, an acid laced behemoth that is equal parts new beat and strobe-lit proto house. timeless & powerful floor food, and as such, equally at home in some erol alkan piloted stadium as it is in a stinky basement. a quick flip and the jj jam swaps the faithful homage we found next door for a futuristic steppers workout. roughly hewn stabs underpinned by some rib cage rattling low end registers

repress 2014 - next up in the 10 inch series on mos_deep another heavy 2-tracker of d marc cantu, which will be followed by a (mini)-album later this year. the opening track is a fierce chicago-styled banger kicking off with an extremely solid and frantic bassline while d marcs low-pitched voice asks us >how are we doing?<. the track slowly evolves into a deep and atmospheric masterpiece with spatial strings slowly expanding throughout the track.
>how are we doing?< is counter-balanced by the fragility and subtlety on the flipside. >a second earth< is a laid-back and emotional retro-futuristic techno track overflowing with sadness and melancholy, echoing the sounds of the artificial-intelligence era. like a lost vessel drifting through space this track captivates and terrifies at the same time. a beauty and a beast!
