rudder & kresy join the roots for bloom camp with a cocktail of deep house cuts. the title track stateless is emotional and grooving, with the likes of maya jane coles picking up on it immediately.

folamour is a new name in the roots for bloom family but by all accounts he fits right in. the opening track nights over you rocks an original and an edit from the label boss himself jamie trench. it focuses on emotive chords, mesmerising key lines and as always on rfb a great groove and low end. the vocal sample cuts the break and takes the limelight of the track. the a2 last morning screams sunshine again focussing on a strong vocal sample -when the morning comes- which you cant help but picture sunsets to. folamour s last offering is $0$ which reminds us of the likes of 90s disco cut samples with great strings and keys throughout. a strong offering from a new head on the rfb scene.

four tracks burst into bloom as tulipe continues to flower in bright rich colour.

roots for bloom hits its tenth release and welcomes carlos sanchez & alex kaddour to the label. this ep is made for the floor, its no nonsense, groove based house music at its best. tough basslines drive the a side black freddie s moustache and echoey vocals stab through. on the flip the basslines remain at the forefront of your attention, but this time layered alongside more mysterious synth lines and twisted vocals. with previous releases on the likes of 8bit and poker flat its easy to see why these guys will fit right in at the roots for bloom camp.

mike gill who has already featured on roots for bloom teams up with taymor zadeh to bring us the coppin a feel ep featuring a john dimas remix. the a side *coppin a feel* brings us hard hitting groove with a hypnotic vocal line carrying the track. loose percussion and bold tom drums really cement this to work on any dance floor. the b side cut *the message* is a more rolling groove with a strong rhodes line that features later on really making the track evolve. john dimas takes *the message* and takes the atmosphere up a notch, with slick cut up vocals. this one will work in the early hours.

for the fifth release on roots for bloom, michael james delivers 3 bumping cuts of very much dance floor orientated music. the opener infinite state gets you moving straight from the off with some edgy stabs and serious groove. high roller carries on where the a1 lets off upping the tempo but maintaining the direction. the b side freeze is a more techno influenced track, but still hold that underlying groove.

four up-and-coming artists appear on shag edits volume 2 which is kick-started by rebels *you somebodies*, a bassy piece of looping filter house meant for peak time play. newcomer riri throws down jazzy horns, marching snares and acoustic rimshots in a slow moving *get it on*, while chockys *i like* features cut vocals caught between interchanging melodies of pulsating rhythms. jamie trench, responsible for the labels first ep, delivers sexy vocals in *locks, frocks & 2 floating sparrows*, a laid back disco joint with the same summery vibe as barmy miami night.

already receiving big support from peter van hoesen, norman nodge, marcel fengler, perc, brendon moeller, len faki, laurent garnier and more. following the recent success of his starting over ep on belgian tastemakers curle, matt heads home to off-key to release his strongest work to date.
first track >bloom< whispers sweet nothings in your ears while shimmering synths caress your neck and skipping percussion dances around your groin. unable to resist, you let yourself go and >without warning< spikes your drink, drags you into a filthy warehouse rave and leaves you grinning maniacally under a flickering strobe light.

for his latest musical offering kupper offers up two versions of the superb >bloom< a deep and melodic slice of underground house. warm filtered keys, rich bass, percussive riffs and old school drums come together to create a compelling piece of house with a laid back vibe on the original. the >jazz mix< follows the lines of the original version with the addition of some perfectly placed jazz guitar parts to lend a further musical note. wave music is well known for its eclectic musical output, ranging from tough techno, to quality electronica and underground house. with this latest release with eric kupper they have proved once again that whatever they do put out, its always of the highest quality.
