red ember records is still legendary in certain circles despite shutting up shop 15 years ago. after some time out of the public eye, though, ewan jansen himself is still very much in business, and here he is with four brand new cuts on his debut for chez damier’s inner balance label. after the appropriately pastoral intro to ‘harvest’ we dive headlong into a flurry of vibrant, detroit-influenced programming of the kind kept alive all these years by rei loci and kirk degiorgio. ‘sines of life’ takes a well-earned breather on the flip, its laid-back setting and all-enveloping bass a massage for the weary body and soul. finally the mood turns playful on ‘square dance’, the chopped, breaksy and off-key groove completely at home alongside uk technicians norken, herbert and ben nevile. it’s rare for people to stay on their game for this long but, as this ep aptly demonstrates, ewan jansen is no ordinary musician.

israeli-born berlin based producer and dj omer debuts his first release on cocktail d amore with two offerings of celestial house. the title cut blends the sounds of the east with an immediately seductive atmosphere of bright melodies leaving the listener plenty of room to be transfixed through it s entirety. -dust- dives deeper to reveal a more melancholic mood built on a symphony of lush pads and swirling metallic percussion. on remix duties are the wonderfully quirky estonian duo ajukaja & andrevski who deliver an oddball re-imagining which sends the original into outer space as it gently builds to sparkling fervor only heard on the outskirts of galaxies. rounding out the release is man power with an acid tinged burner which explodes into en excitement of live percussion and pads leaving any dance floor in complete ecstasy.

strictly mood ii swing is a new track collection of music from one of the most influential house music duos of all time. as mood ii swing, production duo lem springsteen and john ciafone will go down in history as one of the most prolific and respected house duos of the last 25 years. at their best, they were simply untouchable, with their drum programming often cited as what set them apart from the rest of the field: always busier and more intricate than straight-up 4/4 house tracks

as mood ii swing, production duo lem springsteen and john ciafone became one of the most in-demand remixers in the late 90s. the duo s production career began modestly, however. after a failed attempt at r&b, the two turned to house music. early productions such as sylvano s * helpless* and wall of sound s *critical* were a step in the right direction, as were releases such as -i need a bitch- for cutting and -searchin - for groove on, but it was the duo s remixes of ultra naté s * free* for strictly rhythm that struck gold. the song became a huge hit and soon mood ii swing was remixing big-name producers like bt (-remember-) and king britt (* the reason*) as well as the next ultra naté single, * found a cure*, which also became a huge hit record around the world. then, as a testament to the duos success, the new york-based nervous have dug up the remixes mood ii swing did for the label during their seminal mid 90s period re mastered and re released on wax for 2016.

the titanic trio are lead by buzzers. the rise and fall of the metallic droplets oil this mighty techno machine as the march of its kick drum rolls like the constant throb of a diesel engine. dark and deadly. erector pili sees joel delivering a relentless tribal pattern wrapped in dreamy atmospheric and moving waves of synth. final cut pulhapanzak seems to combine elements of both the previous tracks. the ferocity of the lead track and the sweeping, ghostly atmosphere of the second, to create an excellent finale.

another fine example of funky-soul at its very best. while the a-side is highly regarded within the northern soul scene, the b-side is the tune why funk 45 collectors are after this beauty. bot sides were recorded in the early 1970s and pressed on a small press run on 45rpm single. original copies are nowadays very hard to find and due to the outstanding quality sought after by record collectors worldwide.

we are very happy to start this new edition of deeply rooted releases with insolates mood module ep, produced by the very talented miss sunshine. the ep goes through different moods and feelings: epic is a straight up techno journey, werk is a great rythm track that keeps building all the way through, parch is a dark and heavy uncompromising track, the record ends with tuga a deeper and more mysterious jam, we hope youll like it as much as we do!

damn! did somebody upset carlo coz that boy has been throwing down some vicious balls-to-wall beats across his recent releases... and we love it! he got nasty with shaded s gender bender and kicked some serious ass on his latest for carl cox s intec. whilst carlo s latest outings may be fierce, our toronto brother has lost none of the trademark funk that permeates all of his work. the magic ingredient that keeps our hips on the move. carlo returns to mood with deebug, the rampant techno tick that burrows into your brain with its rapid, pincer-like drums and thumping kick. on the flip its fellow ear-bug, no turning back, flows with an almost laid-back and effortless groove. a perfect pair from mr. lio.

organic textures, hypnotism and melancholy feature heavily in marino s sound and are once again evident in the percolate ep. as its name suggests, the title track bubbles with dancefloor tension whilst its tight groove never quite reaches boiling point. can t feel, on the flip, is more of the same. deep, atmospheric and understated, a perfect example of marino s blossom talent.

yet another classic master reese production from the vaults. this time from way back in 1991. -speaker punishing- was a stone cold detroit killer that crossed over here in the uk and european rave scenes due to it s break-beat laden hardcore appeal, string quartet samples and incessant bass-line while it s flip-side -feel the mood- carries that after hours detroit vibe over two different mixes (ably mixed by the legendary marty bonds) and still sounds amazingly fresh and current today some 20+ years later. both tracks are essential weapons to have in one s dj bag and display what a versatile producer kevin saunderson is with two totally different energies sharing the same slab of wax. re-mastered, re-pressed and re-released for 2015 with all original incognito label artwork with the full consent of kevin -master reese- saunderson, detroit mi. essential!
