raoul records is very happy to welcome liviu groza for the fourth release of the label. after his china charm ep on cityfox just before this summer, he is back with 3 tracks that fit perfectly with the sound of the label. it certainly has something to do with house and techno, but livius personal touch is quickly modifying our expectations, for the pleasure of our ears. there is an authentic energy in livius work and the a-side track >no love< is a perfect example of that. what starts with a typical filtered techno loop is suddenly brought to another level with a huge melodic bass line and then with two chords that enlight the track with a certain melancholy. the b-side starts with another killer bass line. >the manimals< bass line is a snake that enrolls its body around every other element: a great house groove and an hypnotic piano. liviu is a snake charmer! the 3rd track >mean fine< seems to be the perfect b2 track. what sounds rather quiet and reduced when you first listen to it, turns itself into an efficient old school dj tool with such groovy hats and hypontic vocals once played on a proper sound system!

te next release on double standard is the sonic love child of deniz kurtel, guti and gadi mizrahi. conceived at the dawn of a new year inside the marcy hotel, brooklyn, the way i feel ep- is slow, instinctive mood music, beautiful in its simplicity. floating on a lazy groove, title track the way i feel- sounds like the haze of being in love. intimate, sexy and deep, the sultry voice of a lover caresses layers of spaced- out beats drifting through low-key piano notes, distorted and interlaced with the woozy bassline. flip over to the b-side and the vibe of -3am- is muddier and full of eerie, echoing keys and disembodied vocals. with a bassline raw and impulsive, -3am- is the late night counterpart to the early morning bliss of the a-side. fluid in motion, light traces of techno slowly filter though the loose percussive rolls in spontaneous unison. as an integral member of the wolf + lamb crew and one-time resident at the label-s creative source –the marcy, deniz kurtel has since evolved into one of house music-s most exciting producers, releasing her dazzling debut album on crosstown rebels earlier this year. dynamic argentinian producer guti is known for his grooving, latin-inspired techno on labels such as desolat and supplement facts but this ep-s trip into more languid territory is a pure expression of the accomplished jazz pianist-s affinity for experimentation. through his intuitive operations, wolf + lamb and double standard label boss gadi mizrahi has given a home to a variety of deeper sounds filtered through an alternative vision for house music. -the way i feel ep- is double standard at its unadulterated, sensual best.

tronic continues its roll out of summer bombs with the >origin / freed< two-tracker from dosem, an artist who has previously made a name for himself with sterling output for technasia sub-label sino. >origin< is the first of the two tracks and it opens proceedings with an epic, synth heavy vibe. filtered, impeccably programmed drums gently unfurl into a persistently padding groove that kicks on a big system. as the track opens up to drop, metallic synth chords shimmer out of the groove and deliver a massive punch. the intensity grows continually throughout and the melodies are pushed to their maximum, making this an unashamed anthem. the flipsides >freed<, while more heads down than its counterpart, is certainly no shrinking violet. driving drums are topped with long, building vocal screams and rising synths create a feverish atmosphere that, added to a pulsing and brutish bassline, goes off.

zeitlos, a german word meaning timeless is one way to describe chris wood & meats new ep, triple s. this is house of a different flavor, pulling influences from freestyle jazz and funk. we find ourselves late in the night. we enter triple s, a smoky cool atmosphere, relaxed and ready. light percussion leads us into the back, where a lone wandering bass line takes the stage. the simmer of hi hats and trample of toms usher in the kicks. chugging along, a single jazz flute, and sassy women punch through the fog. the strings rise and the bass sinks into the cellar. downplayed with style and elegance, triple s is the perfect track for half past midnight, opening the gates and pouring your body on to the dancefloor.

deep house/us garage veterans mateo & matos have been around longer than the ark. yet they remain capable of great things, as >want u tonight< proves. its a deliciously dizzy deep house concoction that marries contemporary production (see the beefy bottom end) with the twittering synth melodies and loopy organ hooks of old new york house and garage (think nu groove meets henry street). studio54s remix is classic new york deep disco house, while trevor loveys version has more of a uk jazzy house swing. all the mixes are wonderfully slick and groovesome. swayzak & phreek plus one deep symphoniac mixes is wonderful for morning and chill gigs.
