ground loops ampersand (i) is a release exploring contemporary techno by some of technos best contemporaries. the original fuses old school ideals with modern production techniques to create a floor friendly, groove oriented track that manages to maintain a sense of purpose and emotion. on remix duties are lucy (stroboscopic artefacts) who produces a seminal remix taking on the atmospherics of the original and building upon that to create a space and tension we have all come to know and love of his productions. samuli kemppi (ostgut ton, mote-evolver) who delivers a deep slice of dubby detroit influenced funk, perfect for that back room set and once again ignites the sound of that transatlantic relationship. the final remix comes from advanced human (aka. dj hi-shock), who instead focuses on the energy and emotion of the original and twists it into peak time material. already spun and fully supported by luke slater, james ruskin, donor/truss, damon wild, tommy four seven, audio injection, markus suckut, chris finke, go hiyama or raiz to name a few.

their debut three tracker ep has a theme running through it.. yup, its all about sides. first up is a riff you may well know from trevor horn and fgth. they take the tribe groove, slow it down and strip the groove back. using just the riff from the famous 80s monster hit they cunningly carve out >two sides< as their sultry opener. next up >by my side< enlists the help of the handily associated brass section. shuffling grooves, stabby horns and muted picked guitar are the order of the day. its a perfect one for those early dj-set appetizing sections. to round things off we tone it down even further with the beautiful >by my side<. subtle tones, lazy keys and a smouldering groove. when the keys kick in during the last minute its a glorius and sublime treat. stay tuned for more sides.

the newly crowned dutch emporium of all things disco tinged swiftly presents a second round of vinyl-only gems - commencing with the classic philly disco boogie strains of >just cant get enough< which contains just the right amount of deviations into sonic filtration. complementing this is the instrumental boogie heat of >lets go swingin< which fully demonstrates the majestys pleasure talent for slicing and dicing the groove. turn over for the insistent chugging sounds of >tainted binary< which unfolds brilliantly into a string heavy disco epic. the best is perhaps saved for last as >didnt mean to dub u off< reveals itself as a crystalline filled excursion into 80s proto house excellence.

dutch export ion ludwigs first offering for londons trelik imprint is a lesson in stripped back, mechanical groove-funk. title track >as the reaction followed i knew my feelings were right< is a rolling groover with nods to the kdj and theo school of deep house, with oven warm harmonies and vintage key sequences and lucid pads pushing the track along for its eight minute duration. flip over for >l sable<, which takes things in a more hypnotic direction with insistent stabs, a funky bubbling bassline and one of those vocals that you will be happily humming for days. forget what people are saying about old-skool and nu-skool deep house, this is simply house music at its very best.

shadow ray is best known in house music circles as the co-producer of the oasis 1, 13, 13 1/2 and 14 releases with omar s, although he is also well known to the ryan correctional facility for more nefarious reasons. the detroit-based producer has spent the past four years at ryan earning not only a hard knocked life but a trade in sound engineering. that was until alex smith (aka omar s) made a presentation to the facility s parole board to commission a remix of his recent hit >heres your trance now dance< as part of rays work release program! rumour has it the parole board was inhabited by at least one old school house head, and we re delighted to see alexs idea come to fruition, with shadow ray really nailing it with this remix. staying true to original s shimmering melody, ray opts to bolster the bottom end with a raw bassline that creates a nice, fat rolling groove

peters love of obscure disco and house shows in this solo album - wide ranging influences have gone into the musical hot-pot. take the slo-mo lazy groove of lead track and opener love is the key . this sets the sonic palette, laid back, underground and understated (but cucumber cool) throughout. deliberately absent are the commercial and pseudo-poppy sounds from the visti and meyland 2010 debut. this record is a club affair, less in your face and more all around you . for example lost in space is one part elastic groove, one part melodious, enveloping ambience and one part progressive disco groove. tracks such as i m out the door , bubble bubble and drinking in darkness are more direct, straight dance floor booty-shaking grooves. as is what you would expect from the man who has dj stamped firmly into his dna.
