whatpeopleplay reels in another biggie for their second release: >western starland< is surely one of the signature tunes by tech-funk luminary john tejada and his long-time collaborateur ariane leviste. originally released in 2001 on his palette imprint this is one of those tunes that never leave the crates of many djs and if you have been dancing anywhere in the last 10 years you will surely instantly recognize those synthetic string chords. tejada himself gets busy here and revamps the also included original with a brand-new 2011 mix: the original signature elements are right there from the start but fused with a beefy house beat, a new bassline, a hissing soul organ and lifted to the next plateau by thundering staccato chords in a classic detroit style. the flip holds the glorious original plus the not any less brilliant john tejada vip mix from 2003.

>bussin down< is the first planet mu single from chrissy murderbot, who comes with a style inspired by his chosen city of chicagos juke and footwork scenes. he playfully mixes in elements of other styles of music he loves, such as rnb and dancehall, to create lively mutations with a warm hearted mass appeal that comfortably straddles genres. >bussin down< features chicago footwork supremo dj spinn over some tasty footwork tracks featuring spinns instructional lyrics, over some high speed jazz funk and cracking claps and klaviers. next track >braaain< is a unique amalgam of footwork with the classic early digital sleng teng bassline. the blend works fantastically, as chrissy slides the originals vocal in and out of the mix in a dub style. on the b-side atki2 takes album track >the vibe is so right< featuring vocals from mc zulu and runs it through a lush treatment that mixes detroit washes with tight, laidback, rolling funky house drums, to instant classic effect. on b2, chicago footwork pioneers djs rashad and spinn send the originals vocal into a whirl of complex delays and layered loops over cold drums and hard techno stabs. just the faintest taste of what is in store on the m-bots incredible >womens studies< album due soon on planet mu.

humandrone from japan featured on this lemon yellow release from we play house.
marked firmly on our soundcloud page and in various publications: wph does not accept nor listen to demos. a way of working that was shattered when one day red d found a real physical demo in his postbox. from a galaxy far far away called japan came humandrone a.k.a. takaaki shibuya, with his twist on jackin chicago rhythms. a twist deeply melancholic, almost detroit like, showing us that chicago music can be both jackin’ and musical at the same time.

its now more than 20 years that arnaud le texier started his dj career in the west of france and in the paris club scene. since he moved to london five years ago, le texier has been able to put his stamp on the european techno scene, being label head of safari electronique and regular dj at fabric. his debut ep for cocoon recordings is borne by le texiers deep understanding of melancholy melodies, especially >elusanes< with its piano keystrokes coming directly from the basement and the ample detroit strings proves with hymn-like intensity that deep sensuality and unquestioning dancefloor ecstasy can be two sides of the same medal. besides a beat-less version of >elusanes<, the hypnotic >nightleads< with its bass guitar theme does already whet your appetite for the next sunrise in the balearic dunes

third release for the neurhythmics label. once again, juergen provides 4 tracks for this ep, all of which are on the deeper side of detroit-inspired house music. be it the shimmering chords of >last day< or the loose and skipping organs of >headache<, each track shows a different side of juergens productions. noticeably heavier than the other tracks is >post reunion< where the floodgates open, and a haunting stab rides over the crescendo of cowbell driven disco-beats, with a bassline that is difficult not to be commanded by, and an overall journey feel that just doesnt want to stop
