the whole truth is back after a small hiatus with a new collaboration with eric boss of myron & e fame. last seen together on party down, whose boogie stylings garnered support from the likes of dam funk, this time eric takes the pitch-perfect 80s funk and gives his producer a theme tune, a calling card. this one is a real underground funk gem. eric has been making waves on the boogie scene for sometime with his pendletons releases. previous whole truth releases have had radio play from the likes of monki(bbc radio 1) and nemone (6 music). and this time, not only does the artwork come from lewis heriz (sofrito) he also plays a mean guitar.

ion ludwig is a leading light in contemporary minimal house, able to elicit fresh approaches from a well-worn club music template. he lands back on baby ford s trelik label with a chunky double pack of beautifully crafted rollers for the stripped down dance, leading in with the subliminal murmurs of -fall answers- and following it up with the incredibly groovy, bass-led -modern missing mood-. -le imagen- gets into a more wriggling, crafty configuration, while -felt like klariny space- lets trippy daubs of melody take centre stage. -sparse hypnotimes- does what it says on the tin, simmering down to a mellow, dubby haze of blue-hued keys and a slither of a beat.

producer : nu guinea, .... tartelet records and the vinyl factory join forces for a release showcasing remixes from two prominent americans and a great dane. ge-ology and byron the aquarius of sound signature and tartelet veteran james braun deliver three outstanding remixes of wayne snow s feel good tune nothing wrong taken from his debut album freedom tv . the original version, produced by naples-based duo nu guinea, is an irresistible up-tempo funk tune that has been getting serious spins from some of the most respected selectors in the game. ge-ology s in-reverse-reflip mix is a trippy ten-minute journey through layered in-reverse melodies and subtle acid carried by a tight, stripped-back groove. the result is a hypnotic gem that sits comfortably in any late night set. byron the aquarius slows it down for his live mix adding a playful bassline, live drums, rhodes and synth almost reminiscent of kool & the gang s 1974 hit summer madness . tartelet mainstay james braun steps back into the limelight after years of silence with a highly effective club mix, combining his signature low-slung house grooves with wayne s backing vocal, turning it into something that is both pumping and exotic.
after releasing hvl s away from everything we know 12inch back in 2015, organic analogue welcome the georgian producer back to present his long-awaited debut album. as a resident of the much-vaunted club bassiani, hvl conceived ostati as a document of the sound of tbilisi - centred on warm, outboard house and techno but with a noticeably understated mood. the club tracks take a pared down approach that favours space and meditation over bold brush strokes, but between the teeth-gnashing bite of -askinkila- or the rough and ready acid workout -continuum,- the sound is gutsy and dripping with character. ostati spells out a space where dim lights and mysterious corners provide a playground for wild ideas to dart around in the dark. the overall atmosphere may appear subdued, but it s merely a cover for the fiery spirit lurking underneath.
