liverpool s scenery records has been making a real splash over the last 18 months, delivering the kind of top notch, analogue-heavy deep house gear that invites comparisons with the best labels from vancouver, washington d.c and new york. there s plenty more to cheer on this label debut from liverpudlian producer binny, not least the immersive melodiousness, dancing synthesizers and rhythmic hustle of -retrospective-. chicago skyway delivers two impeccable rubs of that track, with the second - a new-age techno stomper built around beautiful synthesizer arpeggios and drum machine cowbells - standing out. flip for the glassy-eyed intelligent techno-meets-deep house thrills of -a moment in time-, which is also given a pulsating acid techno makeover from scenery veteran circular rhythms.

supported by luciano, douglas greed, gorge, the glitz, mihalis safras, kombinat100. spring has already arrived at his secret playground: the warm air is filled with cheerful laughter and bare feet are moving rhythmically in the green grass. mollono.bass reveals a very laid-back character but also a very independent and open-minded approach to electronic dance music on his debut album. the first track in the meadow represents not only a humorous hint on the best possible place to listen to this work but also creates kind of atmospheric foundation for the entire album in its light and fluffy manner. the lively hustle and bustle on the hidden playground happens in many different ways: sometimes it s the frisky bounce of hopping basslines and stimulating house rhythms, sometimes its hypnotic sound structures that take the listener on an adult adventure. but above all its the unmistakable sound of real instruments and their melodies which create that earthy, organic groove of mollono.bass, a groove that gives rise to mighty spring feelings.

well rounded kick off 2011 with the deep space bump-n-hustle of littlefoots aptly named >interplanetary< ep.
all 4 tracks contrast tuff dry drums & low sweeping subs with cosmic atmospheres and twilight melodies and chords. theres a unique strictness in the drums here, less swung than typical garage but with innovative programming that shows a producer keen to explore new possibilities. as ever with well rounded and our producer friends, we are celebrating influences from the past - think classic 4/4 uk garage in the vein of dem 2, mixed with early 90s rave sounds and welded together in a motor city car plant. with added post-dubstep production sensibilities, littlefoot is creating an unheralded hybrid sound. all 4 tracks contribute to the completeness of the ep - we go in hard, explore different areas and complete our journey with the last track. we hope you enjoy this trip.

tahloulas >we play house< in a remix incarnation by chris lattner is at last ready for release after figuring in charts and steadily garnering hype for more than a year. louise marie tüxens charming lyrics are sung on a morphing and modern house beat while a devastating organ-stab pushes the track on endlessly. a classic new york bass-line injects head-nodding and foot-tapping while small vocal snippets and fills create a layered floor-destroyer. a tune that easily could – and nearly did - stand alone, but to the luck of the listeners more is in store for them. emil & chesper, allows us the joy of putting out >the nigerian hustle<. dark and funky with rolling basslines and shadowy percussion, this track is heavily rooted in both berlins minimalism and detroits groovyness.to top off the good fortune is james braun & ubebes >neotony< – a percussion-oriented tech-house track reminiscent of chicago, where banging toms and vintage 808 claps all merge together to form a shining synergy, while blue chords and floating strings engulfs the listener.
