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.

two previously unreleased mixes of >tonite< by aaron fit siegel, with vocals by lrenee. the o.g. mix is a version fit started working on to be a dub version of >tonite - original mix<, but morphed into something a bit more epic, and due to time constraints could not make it on the initial release. the d.d. version, is based on the original demo track fit wrote before any vocals were recorded, then edited and dubbed out by omar-s. if you liked the original release on fxhe, be sure to have this one as well and if you dont have the original release then you better get that one too!

the layabouts are anything but. 2012 marks leigh darlow and alex paschalis 10th year together and they have never been so in form or demand. their cast iron reputation for quality deep soulful house – house music forged with feeling and real purpose – continues, impressively, to grow.
rhythm master darlow and guitarist cum orchestrator paschali first met in 2001– in home city london – off the back of various projects in the same studio space. in time, their mutual love of expressive house music would lead to cult licks feelin right and the way i feel, sizzling material for kenny dope gonzalez and hot-to-trot remixes of dj spinna, da lata, dj spen and robert owens, and soulsearcher.

if >dream tennis< was any indication, heatsick has struck a nerve with his singles that stretch preset washes of polyphony through sunset-hued landscapes of disco and house. equipped with only a casio keyboard, he has played alongside everyone from omar souleyman to dj harvey, daniel wang and legowelt, and has demonstrated his ability not only to extend his keyboard to its limits, but to transcend its musical territory, opening up a diverse range of styles, genres and gestures to his dance-addled mimicries and musings.

having kicked off 2012 with stunning eps from tini and himself, dissonant boss marc antona looks to the labels italian arm as leo & omar, aka. re-up, step up with their latest double-header.

ander-traxx is a fresh label operating out of glasgow with the intent of releasing righteous underground house, and although mainly a platform for the labels founder alex-ander to showcase his own productions, ander-traxxs remit also includes the presentation of unknown talent for future releases. for this first release, alex steps up to the plate to deliver because of me, followed by 3 remixes from artists born and raised in glasgow. the original kicks things off with its intro of glacial pads and jittery hats, before quickly delving into a seriousely deep groove brimming with melodic layers. although because of me gives a strong nod to the recent developements of producers like omar s and kyle hall, it undoubtedly has the hallmarks of an alex-ander production, his unique arrangements coming to the forefront while still complimenting the crisp percussion that drives the track forward. carlos nilmmns (co founder of the formidable solab production unit) mix is a much more off-kilter and submerged affair. nilmmns plays down the epic quality of the original and adds chugging rhythmics and sweetcured piano work for a lesson in divine repetition. mesumas feedback mix goes in for the dancefloor attack, not surprising for a gentleman whos previous work has seen releases on hardgroove and seventh sign. rolling toms and a booming kick meet aquatic vocal samples and spectral harmonicas, and will still please those partial to deeper sounds. last up to give because of me the rework treatment is meschi (lunar disko, lux, snuff traxx), who mixes his chicago influenced analogue stylings perfectly with the source material. stripped down crescendos build up to a euphoric drop, and meschis elated melodies bring another twist to this excercise in deep funk. because of me is one of those rare e.ps that works just as well in a non-club enviroment as it does on the dancefloor. with this warning shot, alex-ander will surely be capturing the ears of many in 2012 and beyond.

we celebrate our number 30 with a double pack, featuring one of the creators of techno in spain: groof.roberto gemelin, from madrid, is groof. hes robert calvin too. no matter which of his alias you know him by, hes one of the most active producers in the madrid arena.aka robert calvin, he released materials with turbo (tigas label) in 2004, having previously collaborated with star whores in a joint release with alek stark (2002). also important are the remixes he did for disko b or for sindicato records and msx, paying tribute to megabeat with his recreation of the great classic strange.his background as groof is even more extensive, as his early steps go back to the times of minifunk (the cheeky and shameless label from barcelona that was then managed by omar and dj loe). with them he recorded mambo! (1999) and i want you(2000). he has also recorded with warmup, fieber, rainwaves or shareware records.at the end of the ninetees groof shared quite unusual with oscar mulero: the start of a deep friendship that nowadays brings us wu30 mini-album.

mark de clive-lowe is back with a 12 inch album sampler from the forthcoming full-length album renegades (album available on cd and digital worldwide november 15 on tru thoughts records).

only one copy per customer / nur eine kopie pro kunde .. full of deep quality house music from helsinki. the opening title track -doright!- is a soulful broken deep house journey through rhythm and vibe. powered up with deep detroit chords and vocal samples. second track -keepitraw- is a tribute to detroit deep house, especially producers such as omar s, moodymann and mike huckaby. raw grooves topped of with heavy percussion breaks. b-side starts out with -othaway-. strange enough, the track combines both african and bossa influences. this mellow jammer has a piano hook that seems irresistible while the percussion floats through track until reaching it s peak in the end. final track for the release is an old school style tr-909-influenced ourlove. simple piano stabs on top of a killer house groove can never go wrong. keep an eye-out for the finnish deep house scene, be on the look out for more trevor deepness coming late 2011.

further to motor city drum ensembles dj kicks compilation, his exclusive single l.o.v.e. has been reworked by the young detroit prodigy kyle hall, the painter and music creator wolfgang voigt and an excellent remix by smallpeople. kyle has been highly influenced and captivated by the underground deep house sound of detroit. inspired by artists such as theo parrish, mike huckaby, rick wade, 3 chairs, kdj and omar s, who believe their music has a certain feeling of the advant garde and liberation from the so-called rules people place upon dance music. kyle took that principle of their music and applied it to music that he was trying to create. wolfgang voigt is known for his numerous, nearly inexhaustible list of one-off projects and aliases. of these, his best known is arguably >gas< a project that saw the marriage of ambient music and 4/4 techno. his remix of motor citys l.o.v.e shows his minimalistic approach to music he has been famed for worldwide. smallpeople are julius steinhoff & just von ahlefeld aka dionne. smallpeople are focused on a wider range of music and can be diverse- between deep house, detroit techno and some chicago flavours but always within the balance of atmospheric warmth and club suitability bringing yet another perfect addition to this remix package. watch out for more big tunes from smallpeople in the near future

the brilliantly monikered big strick - familial elder to omar s and responsible for the odd killer release on his younger cousins fxhe imprint - belatedly sates the appetite of record collectors keen to indulge in his recent album detroit heat with a six track selection of the choicest cuts spread across this twelve inch. seemingly drawing influence from a myriad of motor city influences, detroit heat impressively flits between murky deep house, tracky techno and hypnotic jack-tracks. like many of his contemporaries, strick is a sucker for cement mixer production - that distinctly detroitian sound where every beat, groove or bassline sounds like the master tapes have been marinated in grit. that trademark sound, alongside a solid selection of floor-friendly grooves, makes detroit heat an excellent addition to the motor city house canon. the rubbery spinal atmospherics of >under tone< and the tony coates vocally assisted jack of >maybe 1 day< are particular highlights!

>lifes track< is the mysterious and anonymous bosconi homemade project of two promising artists,100% build through an analogue and raw production and mainly based on a psychedelic, futuristic and freestyle musical approach.
no names, titles and any point of referement has been added to this release, what you get now is a 4 tracker ep, 4 sonic artworks of detroity inspiration and impulsive creation, in the vein of a more sensitive, delicate and spiritual omar-s, smooth like an early mathew jonson, dreamy and a bit acieed like some of the first intelligent techno tracks done in the 90s but with a more catchy pop music feeling.
