jack is back you could say, but he has never really left us. far from it, jack is the godfather of all less productions. modern oldschool house maybe? jeazon its >your deal<, is the real deal, beacause the mood of this track is driven by the vocals which was seemingly recorded in the deepest chicago underground. talking large noising the track is most fun on the dancefloor.
>its not the same< is the candy for the costumer, a potential tech-house hymn, seldom before house vocals were so well arranged with a techno track and merged to a neurotransmitter pushing sound impression.
the enliven deep acoustics remix foils the whole thing with the desired portion of funk and is showing perspectives, jack would have appreciated.

support: steve bug, jay haze, someone else, mark henning, matt star, pan pot, agaric, jason emsley!!! 2009 has been an extremely busy year for billy dalessandro. on top of having recently relocated from his hometown of chicago to montreal, the year has marked his most engaging yet in terms of gigging and musical output. along with a successful three-month european tour, billy released a string of highly acclaimed singles, and his latest artist album (not to mention his growing catalog under the huge hephner and tyrone aliases). however, it should come as no surprise that the producer has saved the best for last.
>strombooty< (for details, consult your local urban dictionary) is the modern dalessandro sound, combining heady experimentation with dance floor prowess. the eps title track is a deep, yet explosive number that creeps in subtly like dark clouds on the horizon, before raining down a devastating thunderstorm over the speakers.
the latin-flavored >el tapatio< and super-deep cut >speak to me< make up the b-side. although the tracks represent different aspects of the dalessandro sound, the commonality they share is a thoughtful approach to dance music that much of the formulaic output these days lacks.

our man ryo murakami sends over the next transmission in his exciting and growing catalogue of productions. always inspired by the raw and soulful sound of chicago and new york, this next ep puts forward his vision and continuation of this timeless house feeling. lead track >just for this< is a wonderful celebration of heavy slow motion house. classic house references and even a few classic samples meet in a dirty, deep ride into the tweaked out and extended vibes of the late night people. a journey through the city of house, a perfect refl ection of the times, bringing warmth and light in a once colder world. graeme clark aka the revenge, a fi gure who has enjoyed much success with his deviant disco sound, steps up for remix duties - and a fi ne job he does too! building his mix from the bare bones, adding a little more pace and forward momentum, his version is also tightly bound within the roots of emotional, deep vibes house. this is an outstanding remix - functional, clear and fully devoted to the classic sound. on the b side a mysterious original, >untitled<, sees ryo pushing things a little further still. the energy levels climb higher and higher as this modern hypno-houser phases and pulses upwards over nearly 8 minutes of jacking, sample laden freshness. we love to visit ryos house, where everybodys welcome and theres smiles all round

its been a while since i:cube hasnt deliver some fresh cuts! was he lost in a software??? hes back (a new album is also scheduled) to his early naive, deep and twisted spirit, but with a super tight modern production... falling is a sleazy funk track, a slow burner, which contains all the elements who made i:cube one of the most respected and innovative producers around since more than a decade!! heavy groove, hypno bassline, references to the early disco-dub music. un dimanche sans fin (neverending sunday) was done (as its name says) a sunday night, one shot, at the versatile studio. cube reconnects with his seminal dub-techno love, a track full of space and emotion. i would describe operation hypnosis as sheffield house. a solid beat and some bleeps will bring the dancer into a mental spiral...

the voyage continues. after dropping his debut album voyage direct, tom trago now drops two favorites from his live set. side a is an extended disco version of use me, morphing in to and out of the original like butter. clocking over 8 minutes use me again becomes somewhat a modern take on the original disco version. its got enough drive to make a dance floor go crazy. side b meanwhile is an exclusive from his live set. here he strips the classic >over & over< to the minimum before sliding into the original groove only for a moment, only to continue to ride the rhythm again. proper club business
