slamming three track ep, first track afro acid is a raw, noise (distortion effects) and dirty sounding with live feeling, not made for high fidelity people, really really raw... flipside is more for deep & jackin house lovers, especially b2 (freedom) is just a deep house masterpiece

jenifa mayanja, respected new york dj, producer and owner of bu-mako recordings, steps into the altered moods collective for an exciting two cut vinyl release, >desire more<. the first side slides into a subtle groove with voices and synthy keys over a beat itching to get you on to the dance floor. then a variety of warm melodies join in, bubbling and be-bopping onto the main cut, a collusion of claps, beats and riffs. jenifa comes back and leads us to a saucy clarinet that could be rehearsing in the next room, unaware of our presence. yet it echoes the feel of the piece, dancing away from and back to the rhythm.

deep in the night, 2000 and one and sandy huner met up in their amsterdam studio to record >baile bass groove<, reflecting their early hour mood, this tune is the perfect tool for the afterparty.
on the flipside we welcome robert babicz, a name which doesnt need introduction! the title >take it deep< says it all, deep chords and floating strings are the ingredients which penetrate and power this groove.
last but not least, diego moura & diogo accioly better know as talking props both resident at d-edge in sao paulo, bring you >walking on white sands<, funky stabs and catchy vocal snippets make this track rock the dancefloors.

cooler detroit house der alten schule !!!

second release on jamie jones & lee fosss hot creations label is the first release by hot new talent robert james. a burgeoning producer, way ahead of his game who will soon be familiar for his insanely infectious music, not least for -sleep moods- his debut ep. -sleep moods- is the type of record that you never want to end. drilling into the mind with rattling bells, rolling bass and echoed calls of go deep… all night… no sleep. this is an unstoppable dancefloor gem, catching your attention from first listen and leaving you wanting more. as -sleep moods- breaks into its groove through haunting sirens and dark rave stabs that keep the energy levels stoked up, it leaves no doubt that robert james is an original and skilled new artist. on the flip -connected- is another explosive original, crackling with kickdrums and sharpened with supernatural synth stabs. in a similar vein to the sound of jamie jones, the hot creations label creator, you can see where these two producers have found common ground. completing the package, parisien house afficionado dyed soundorom takes on a remix of title track, -sleep moods-. producing a stripped back dubby version that works at any point of the night, a skill that dyed has become renowned for. dyed has been part of the freak n chic crew for many years and has also released on crosstown digital rebels, spectral, murmur and supplement facts.

those of you who know rezkar (real name rezenio kariem) know that he brings the heat, all day, every day. and its no different this time – >cosmos< brings you classic deepness from the wunderkind from port elizabeth, south africa – in the form of a three-track vinyl ep.

more deep and moody grooves from mike grants label. greg stadford is behind the monkier black art who’s previous production credits have included mixes of blake baxters seminal deep n da groove ep. nice and jazzy the favourite cut is just groovin a wicked blend of st germain keys and funky organ riffs, over some skippy detroit drums. dig this is a mellow late night journey of psychedelic horns and guitar licks with dreamy pianos floating over the top. ‘sweet’ is more on a broken jazz tip with live drums and a cute vocal snip that dubs itself over the rhodes bed. the production quality of this ep is stunning. very strong stuff from m & g!

the a-side holds a hard-hitting, percussive techno-house hybrid that sounds a bit like an air frog production but features additional cool vocal licks on top. b-side has a basic, bass-heavy, pouding tech-house groove with strong detroit sound influences. strong!

two gorgeous tracks from detroits moods and grooves label that will fit nicely in the bags of djs who like it live and with a little world-music flair! bouncy latin drums, flutes and soft keys mix nicely on this new mix of abica souls and glenn undergrounds >esta hermosa cancion<, while gene hunts >i live< gets a tasteful dub mix. strong record that will sound great at the shelter!

rockford inc. is sullivan sawyer and dwight jenkins who put their souls into their computer and see what comes back out. in this case, its >like a rock<, a contemplative slow-burner that spreads itself over 11 minutes. on the b-side, >minas theme< is an uplifting melodic house tune, drenched in optimism, the ideal antidote for dreary dancefloors.

rezkars fascination with music began with his parents record collection. listening to local radio stations as a child, he heard 80s tracks. as an adult he discovered the magic of 60s and 70s jazz and funk. one day, his cousin played a track that he immediately fell in love with. he later learned that this was house music. he discovered the fruity loops sequencer software and thought, why not try to make my own tracks, after all, it cant really be that hard? deep house can sound deceptively simple. its a bit like japanese anime, rezkar says. it looks so cute and easy to draw, but try to actually draw it, and you will discover its even harder than realistic drawings. the thing about house is that if you try too hard it can come across as being very cheesy, but then again, if you dont do enough it can sound incomplete. finding the balance is not easy, rezkar admits. after hearing his music, one finds that he is learning this lesson quite well.

altered moods recordings, the label that explored the ocean floor with its two previous releases, presents its third, cosmic soul with brad peterson at the helm as trackmachine. mr. peterson is a long standing member of the amr collective, having contributedmaterial to amrs debut lp, love...lost and found. under this new moniker, he explores galactic deepness...
