chmara is an artist better known for the duet chmara winter, which created a number of releases for pets recordings. currently he is producing by himself and joining forces with otake records. *spring* has its unique position in the catalog of young label from warsaw. the vinyl is original, surprising, flourishing and simply beautiful. some herberts or dj koze inspirations can be felt, however, a solid character of these tracks gives a clear understanding that chmara has his unrepeatable unique style that can not be faked. lyrics, wonderful chmaras timbre plus accompanying female vocals give an image of surreal order. it is a beautiful, harmonious hallucination caused by nothing but music. the record also contains two remixes from slg and piotr bejnar - the owner of otake records.

following 2013s ubiquitous smash untitled and last years heavyweight erotic discourse remixes, paul woolford returns to the hotflush fold with a double-headed cerberus, orbit/ mdma. flexing signature versatility, woolford goes from heads-down to hands-in-the-air in the flip of a record: a dance floor locked in to the twisted sirens of acid rave (orbit) experiences a sudden belly rush as it collectively comes up to piano breakdowns and female chant (mdma). towering and physical, the record epitomises paul woolford’s enduring popularity.

uabos, aka matteo pepe, is a young and rising start from the fashion capital of europe. this milan musician melts the mediterranean with 707 attitude, connecting his homeland with the iconic floor grooves of chicago. warbling acid warmth gives way to spiralling female samples as dusk sets in. the track is pure golden sunshine. tweaked bars are woven through clean drums to form an energy-filled track of explosive properties. polished rhythm patterns scaffold the ep. from this solid base flow clever melodies and dancefloor subtlety. 303s trickle against thick and rich chords for the textured tones of abc dream . uabos grabs his audience, holding them with hypnotic harmonies and an entrancing elegance. but with that is an intoxicating funk, one epitomized in the drill . toms and pads introduce. snares snap as a deep and dense build is constructed, layers bubbling arpeggios support cascading chords for a chitown streaked disco romp. the finale, squash , is living musical liquid. a syrup of synthesized squawk squirms under soaring notes and crisp beats for a jackin infusion.

one of the uks most enigmatic bootleg labels returns for its fourth installment of dancefloor bombs and feel good hits. following the trail blazed by early bootleg pioneers such as ron hardy and john morales, boogiefuturo presents two instant classics for the edits hall of fame. * give me some emotion* features an expertly amped-up sample of a particularly well-known female vocalist (we don’t want to give too much away now). jamie bull’s edit respectfully takes the track into the 21st century, with solid, punchy drums and big room snare reverbs to support the original boogie funk synth lines and staccato guitars. sing along vocals and catchy hooks make this a fine addition to any vinyl junkie’s record bag. ‘lovin’ spree’ continues the boogifuturo tradition of tasteful edits. neil diablo loops an infectious guitar hook with the addition of low growling synths and rhodes keys, to build the track into a crescendo timeless disco strings, chant-along vocals and killer sax solos. an underground classic on the disco scene but never reaching the heights of commercial success, diablo presents an edit to give this forgotten record new life. boogiefuturo is vinyl only and strictly underground, this won’t be played out by everyone – this one is for the purists, the vinyl addicts, the one’s that reminisce over the days when the white label ruled…

here one of his big hitters let me go feat. elif biçer gets remixed by deep house legend fred p, as well as leo cubanero and deadbeat. new york s soul people boss and underground talent fred p goes rst and unsurprisingly his track is spiritual and way below the surface, with emotive female vocal coos and skipping drums all laced up in mesmerising and soulful pads. then comes leo cubanero, who has been producing on label like festplatten and nachtfrequent since 2003, and he ips the track into a liquid tech house affair with libidinous vocals and freaky synths and pads that add as spooky air to proceedings. lastly, montrealer deadbeat lays down a sublime minimal dub remix that is gooey and lazy, elastic and seductive in all the right ways, especially when the sexy vocal comes in

lee webster s soul reply ep kicks of the year for iutsan with two contrasting, yet seemingly connected tracks. on the chocho side you ll find soul replied - a low slung love song with moodymann-esque sampling and swung-out drums, dipping out occasionally as the female vocal comes in like a lullaby. in contrast on the culo side, you ll find devils avocado - an ibiza terrace style jam that builds from the cutting synth line into a crescendo that finally drops into a total dc10 weapon. an strong start to the year for barcelona based i used to sleep at night.

though his solo work, and in his collaboration with giuseppe tilleci as voices from the lake, dozzy has achieved some of the most remarkable vistas contemporary electronic music has seen in the last decade. by removing himself from his areas of mastery to shift his focus on the voice, he has achieved a new peak. *sintetizzatrice* is the first work on spectrum spools featuring anna caragnano, a vocalist based in rome.

its winter in detroit and fit siegel has given us * carmine*, a moody techno classic perfect for the lonely season. subtle, low-key and thumping, the title track revolves around a bittersweet piano lead, elegiac 303 and blade runner string swells. its a high-tech driving song in the tradition of model 500s low-key classic * pick up the flow* and fit sounds more assured than ever. * first found* is mills-ian jigsaw puzzle techno imbued with breathy and addictive humanity. stacatto, free-jazz informed piano solos lock into ping-pong synths -- eventually, a female vocal emerges over a bed of arpeggiated bass. loose yet robotic, * first found* is first-rate detroit techno mysticism. the record as a whole is a worthy entry into the motor citys storied canon from a leader of the new school.

vinyl only! dragosh delivers with impact his track brinit . set on a traveling percussion loop, playfully adventurous and filled with an ever growing energy. a warm melodic female vocal in contrast to a technical voice cut draws the listener in to feel the energy with no chance to get tired. rhadoo and cezar take the voice out and put it into a new context. with their focus firmly on the groove, and adding some extra synths they create with finesse, a proper trip... reducing the vocals into whistles and layering a rather mysterious noise, they masterfully turn this remix into something totally hypnotizing...damn good too

having spent three years tirelessly growing the la vie en rose label from strength to strength, championing avant-garde house music and helping launch the careers of fresh new talent, label boss terence:terry: now steps forward with a string of his own works. inspired by his blossoming collective and following his recent remix of marcos baiano on lvr015, * acid heroes* ep contains three original terry productions truly for the club.the title track enters in strong punchy form, concocting deep industrial vibes and sinister vocals that echo into the darkness, until, half way through, it takes a more upbeat turn, lifted by reverberating synth chords. * cliché* slaps a little harder with a pounding bass and clashing symbols, before warming up with female wails and woos. a short, sharp taste of chord jabs and the journey builds up to what seems like the climatic futuristic ending, before melting into softer territory and a much welcomed infectious kick, for that last lease of life. rounding off with the murky, splashing number * testing the water*, deep keys and the expert layering of techno effects equals a sublime underground house track, most certain to arouse the dancefloor. * acid heroes* is served as the perfect appetiser to get you salivating before * house couture* , the first compilation from terence:terry: on lvr, mixing producers past and present, as well as a handful of unreleased future-gems to come on the label.

this ep was made during a period where my whole outlook on everything was transforming. the voidloss project started as an investigation, i was conducting a lot of research and study on the mind, the occult, on different thought modes, and the voidloss project represented this. the idea was about a leap in to the void. a leap of abandonment into the dark, with total acceptance, total commitment.

love club was an obscure one off project fronted by jay -mixin- dixon, a dj with a long history at nycs kiss fm where he played deep house and garage on the stations legendary master-mix show in the early 90s. the record also features a mystery, uncredited female vocalist assisted by some top shelf studio personnel manning the boards.

the original, with a well-constructed bassline incorporates a warm up melody that begins to set the tone for the night ahead. each layer is distinct as the track begins to build itself right to its crescendo when each of those individual layers collectively come together. you can distinctly hear the 80 s like synths that are cleverly inserted into the track which are highlighted by the female vocal samples. the grittier elements add a touch of darkness and instantly transport you to a warehouse club with an intimate atmosphere. the remix, done by the widely loved tech-house duo pleasurekraft jack up the tempo a notch, and add a bouncy groove to the track. where the original brought out a darker side, the remix is more upbeat and settles in well for a peak hour set. bringing that crisp bassline to the fore, and tuning out the melodies to make them a tad subtler it showcases a more tech-house version of the original. there s an added element a slightly more haunted vibe which is coupled together with those gritty and harder elements. all i can conclude is what a tech-house bomb this is from the highly talented pleasurekraft. they always manage to bring something new and unique to every single track they ve ever remixed which truly shows their remarkability as consistently good producers.

it s only so long before liam geddes becomes a name you ll start hearing on the worldwide underground stage. having already churned out a number of uncompromisingly deep house tracks over the past couple of years, he comes armed with another exceptional ep on mil - the third release on the new music is love sister label - that further demonstrates his genuine dynamism as a producer. the with closed eyes ep should win this very talented producer the recognition his fresh beat work deserves into the wild gets proceedings underway, a ripping bassline paves out over rattling percussion shakes while oscillating dream like jingles play out during the course of the track. chopped vocal samples are introduced and tease against the shuffling drums which elevates the track with real drive and groove. close ya eyes for the journey packs the same layer of heat with its similarly groove-heavy bassline - a staple of geddes well-crafted sound. firmly footed, intermittent chimes seep into the track and are complemented by siren-like chords which grow truer in presence, until a hypnotic vocal snippet fulfils the deep terrains of the track. a saint is a tumultuous techno-fused roller with it s rip-roaring bassline and percussive loops which rhythmically swing out over shuddering pads, sustained chords and a cut up female vocal, brining a twist of colour to the arrangements of the track. there s a keen sense of tension and release, elevating this above your average and confirms geddes does depth and darkness with real conviction. broke will surely prove a high point for any decent dj set, and sounds like a cut you d expect from someone like delano smith. strings faintly play out over looped key chimes and a funk-like riff, while ticking hi-hats and a careful use of vocal sample gives the track extra heat, each element powered by the rumbling bassline.

if you re going to beat em down, you need the right tools. on the label s second release, grimy trax has given you a couple hammers. the a-side, dejay cease s the fixer is straight chicago. we re talking banging 909 funk that might be found buried on a particularly unhinged ron hardy mix. a simple bass line and two notes of acid are all it takes to make the floor go wild. this is functional heat with enough atmosphere to engage the mind, body and soul. on the b-side, rising chicago son boogienite proves he s earned the hype. boy, ok is an instant classic thanks to some recognizable disco strings and a funky escalator of a bassline. the producer uses a trippy, rubberband synth which eventually turns into rhythmic, teasing vocal. the mixdown is ridiculous, especially as the lengthy track passes the halfway mark. boogie brings the bassline in and out in between beautiful ambient rhodes and a call and response male and female vocal. those strings hit again and you feel no pain.

dance with a smile in your face and be happy.stourette de mar - this refers not to the sometimes declared tics - it s the newest ep out of the house from hanne & lore, released on the berlin based label stylerockets. multilayered and with a well-known female vocal from the early 90ies.

if vocals of 90s acts like bjork and massive attack, to the choral of female crooners that came out of scandinavia in the 2000s hit a sweet spot, than the voice of gry bagoien will be a welcomed sound. here for scissors & thread, with the help of francis harris and jordan lieb (aka black light smoke), the danish singer debuts on the american label under her own name (rather than using her known gry alias). she delivers a four-track ep of smokey, abstract house music and throughout phantom power bagoien s voice sounds as though it s being projected through an oversized telephone speaker, either in a jazz club next to miles davis, a studio full of deep efdemin arrangements, in the wilderness at a swedish festival or lost in a cosmos of reverb and delay with fever ray.
