the release opens with quite baked, a stripped, low-slung cut that embraces loose, swung drums and rolling low-end rumbles. the record adapts to a simplistic hooky structure that allows subtle transitional periods to keep things captivating, infusing a blend of gritty elements that gleam with analogue sparkles and warmth, resulting in a tasteful slice of rough and ready house music. next up is as olways, taking things in a deeper direction with smooth rhodes chords driving the melodic movement.

what if time does not matter? welcome to the world of jonas saalbach, where nothing is solid but the rhythm of the base. we are drifting between synthwaves and nested melancholic melodies, between hazy vibes and spare used dark vocals and we call it >nika yumi<. this one is a brilliant number from a producer-youngstar, which strandet in berlin with a big smile and many dreams in the backage. so here we go with his first release on einmusika recordings. >next< - the second track on the ep, is an exotic odyssey in times of vocal- and deephouse, because this number is technoid, minimal and unimagined. >cave< can flip a good party into a great one in the space of six glorious minutes. the bendy baseline is catching everybody and the track is full of cosmic synths. and after this trip you surely need a bottle of water and a melody which picks up this feeling underlined with dreamy synth motifs and a kind of woozy bleeps. okay. so where we are? what time it is? whatever you can repeat everything.

after 21 releases and covering most areas of house its time to introduce anaxander and present a new sound to the ever growing local talk catalogue. the a side antionette is a perfect electronic influenced body-locking flavored track, an organ alongside a bouncing bass and a rhythmic feel is sometimes all you need to get moving ! its the b-side that really take things to the next level. anaxander both puts his own clever stamp on these two tracks and delivers acid in the old, vintage sense that owes more to the raw and unpolished club tracks played by ron hardy at music box than to the old school house vibes you have expected from local talk. both cat feeding and i want you now are two tracks of a new era of local talk. innovating, futuristic and original produced electronic analogue funk for 2012

3 chairs, omar s and patrice scott. this limited ep is testament to the wild basement energy that has culminated from these nights, beautifully pressed on wax for this first ever vinyl outing. remember is a swinging downbeat vocal track based around a superb vocal improvisation from newcomer chris raine. an ambitious opener, this is fine uk hip soul with warehouse dancefloor swagger to boot. next track, the benji b endorsed cookie strips the vocals right down into a swirling motif of sunrise energy. this track sounds great on the radio, but will also find favour on the more discerning soulful floors. for a contrast flip over for the kraftwerkian micro-tech of contact to hear what a werk party sounds like at a hazy-eyed 3am and finally, as if all this wasnt enough check out the dubby, spaced-out brawn of u&me which sees second outing for vocalist chris.... on this ep which rounds things off nicely. for fans of firecracker, exit records and prime numbers, this exciting and multi-faceted ep marries uk and detroit influences with consumate ease. one to watch... plays/ supported by benji b, rahaan, kev beadle, burnski, kevin reynolds etc.

the >just for fun< ep starts with the title track just4fun, which in fact breathes fun and doesnt take itself too seriously. the funky and highly infectious keys and the butt shaking groove will remind you of a track that moodymann never made, but wishes he had. next comes unlimited01 with a joyful piano melody that would fit right into a french disco with a funkier version of alain delon behind the decks. still, the rhodes chords, the slow sexy groove, the vocal hooks will get you moving in no time. thang then goes into a more detroit beatdown direction with its deep chords and smooth pads. it creates a mellow atmosphere with an almost relaxed summer feeling. this is what a funky pimp would listen to on a night car drive. the ep ends with spiritual almost tribal rhythms. inspiration would be a nice soundtrack to a 70s orgy orchestrated by a groovy guru, surrounded by a magical circle of mystical dancers. over the top? sure, but the track would certainly get this party going.

ozs inkswel sends an irresistible four track package zig zagging across the globe to the door of fort unthank on the banks of loch firecracker, somewhere in the mists of scotland, via his very own powerful boogie powered super collider. opener do it is how its done, atomic funk which has been split, stretched and closely inspected, then reassembled to create a dancefloor chain reaction. the funk particles then pass through the americas and pick up the one and only chico mann. a man known for his like minded awareness of, and abilities with, the worldwide ways of the electric boogaloo, he adds his abstract afro cuban theories to tu machito. next, its a sharp turn eastwards to the old countries, whilst riding the waves of lfo bounce. uks funkineven, another kindred spirit in the search for man made machine soul, provides further refinement to the initial wave hypothesis, resulting in a glimpse of the elusive dark matter that is often talked about, but rarely seen or heard
