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.2 holds 4 killer tracks going from obscure disco to new wave, first popularised at the music box and rarely heard anywhere else. this time we have the rare luck to get detroit legend (u.r. keyboard player) niko marks joining forces with 4 astonishing & devastating versions of tom tom club, abc, donna summer & marvin gaye. musically, its as delightfully funky and uncomplicated as youd expect, a mesh of disco tracks and heavy, effect laden, machine-funk. essential item !!

riding high on the wings of their previous release pulling strings on their red series, eclectic avenue records bring us rear002 deep in it by small giants. small giants is the wonderfully ingenious marriage between leeds based label manager jacob kelly (j.cub) and the chicago house legend joshua iz. combining their skills, they have taken a heady guitar lick, underpinned it with a smoothly infectious bassline and sewn it all together with a warm soothing vocal sample. call it house, call it disco. either way, it is a surefire dancefloor killer and will take pride of place in any dj or collectors record box. flip her over for a remix by leeds darlings pbr streetgang. currently the hottest thing to come out of dance musics unofficial capital, the cheeky duo have put their own twist on the original by filling the track out with some chuggier deeper vibes whilst highlighting the instrumental solos. a hugely successful foray into a funkier tone for what promises to be another trophy in the e.a.r cabinets.

spencer parkers work them records reflects his uncluttered attitude to electronic music. regular vinyl shopping to unearth and delight in non-digital gems, energetic tracks from the deepest house to the most ardent techno, all focussed on one thing: the dancefloor. for its fifth release, he has captured one of his current favourites to bring their wide-ranging and organic sounds to the table: pittsburgh track authority.
the trios first and brilliant ep in 2013 follows twelves on argot and uzuri, and is a neat representation of the expansive borders of parkers own record box, taking in the spectrum from driving, bleepy techno to nervous, shuffling bass-driven house.

turn on the strobe lights and the fog machine. shtum returns with its second record, this time by dresdens very own kryptic universe. his ep comes with five cuts full of dark and gritty future jazz. his techno funk is playful as it is evocative. just listen to the bass line in *a light in the box* and the appropriately titled *critters funk*. not to mention the crazy piano in the title song and the rather hard-hitting *dark sky*. on top we got the mighty xdb on remix duties and his take on *signals*. again, the illustration on the b-side label is by aram haydeyan.

rummage in some boxes of my favourite record store i found a cover that made me curious. l kubic & tagträumer² - the only thing in this world and on the flipside a remix by alle farben. when placing the needle at the beginning of the vinyl the first sounds were very strange. i thought that must be a record from the 60s lost in the tech-house box but than a straight beat turned everything different. a piano melody slowly sat down firmly in my ear and i was longing to know where the journey takes me. after a while an acidline pushed everything and i was sure at this time this is not a normal 4/4 tech-house record. alle farben remixed the themes very playful and i heard that he gives the elements more pressure for the club. so at the end i bought this one and i cannot imagine taking this unique record ever again out of my record case.
