purism welcomes romanian minimal house upstart mihai popescu to the table, following the promising producer s run of hotly tipped singles on his own soulsity label. the groove is crisp and infectious on opening cut -do watcha feeel,- which makes great use of a looped up melodic phrase and choice vocal snippets for a quintessential house throwdown. -mixed moods- is no less floor-ready, but its delicate, shimmering keys add a seductive quality that s impossible to resist. -midnight insp- takes a heads-down, tracky approach on its run in, but by the latter half opens up to reveal a gorgeous, swirling bath of chords. -aritmethixx- provides contrast for the ep s closer, keeping the beat stripped back and using haunting flecks of sonic decoration that wouldn t sound out of place on a horror inc track

inflicted welcomes another hot newomer on the label, jan fleck! turn red is sven wittekind most fav. track at the moment! this track comes with a real heavy beat and some church bells before the breakdown is rolling over the floor with his sweepy piano melody, which is changing into a nasty synth after some seconds. when the beat is coming in again, there is no holding back for everyone! >i don t care< is a freaky fresh hardtechno track, with a good arrangement and nice vocalcuts! the breakdown in this track is pushin the dancefloor to the peaktime limit! >my descent< a nice compressed loop combined with a heavy baseline synth. making his way in the minds of the bassline lovin technoheads! >epic< is another huge track on this release! a great hardtechno loop makes his way to one of the best breaks ever. sweepy stabs bring you an evil baseline combined with a amazing dnb/breakbeat loop before the well done hardtechnoloop strikes back!

willrijk joins the lt roster with a dust-flecked, deep aquatic release of ambient house. escapist elements with pangs of elation and dry roasted bass-lines that crackle with every throb. proper deep-diving, late night house music.

hvl seems well thought of by many within the house and techno community, with labels queuing up to secure his services. bizarre realms marks his first appearance on los angeles hesperian sound division. it s an undeniably atmospheric affair, with the georgian keen to show off his noted eye for detail. check, for example, the spacey, detroit deep house-goes-acid vibe of -escape in time-, or the watery, deep space electronics and jazz-flecked rhythm of -bizarre realms-. he s not afraid to doff a cap to techno, either, as both the deep and dubby -sio-, and the more ragged, mind-bending -sforzando-, so neatly prov

after an incredible whirlwind of a year lee foss returns to the culprit fore with >your turn girl<. foss is the labels most consistent and prolific artist with this ep being his fourth release, solo or as part of hot natured. it is safe to say, lee has become one of the pillars around which culprit is being built. the >your turn girl ep< carries foss signature hallmarks: melodic funk-infused basslines, vocal hooks that grab you from the off and a smooth electronic edge. lees incredibly emotive sound makes him stand out even in the current glut of soulful dance music washing over the global scene. your turn girl – the title track is an epitome of foss >ominous funk< style, playful yet with a distinctly sultry edge. yet another memorable r n b female vocal bit sits on top of some of lees own best synth work. and driven by a killer analogue bassline. >pyramid scheme< –bristles with the disco-inspired propulsive energy. an acid-flecked low end, that comes to the fore mid-way through, a swirling guitar sample, the crisply sharp drums add up to the releases, perhaps, most hands-in-the air moment. >cabin party< continues the themes lee explored with his mega successful hot creations ep. foss eschews the standard house beat yet again, opting for his most organic drums yet, stunningly conceived textures and melodies, with another pair of vocal hooks to die for. finally >warriors< has been a staple of many a culprit dj set for the best part of 2010. lees trademark combination of a terrific electronic bassline, and an unabashedly emotional sample work make for a deep house stand-out tinged with a sense of nostalgia.
