foolish felix dickinsons superb cynic label land a repress of this much sought after uk acid classic! this release is finally getting a very limited re-press. dusk till dawn is an old school acid house slammer reminiscent of tracks like mike dunns *let it be house* and armandos *151*. 808 drums and double 303 acid lines combined with pitched down vocals. played by everyone from larry heard to mark archer. liquid soul drops is a more modern weirdo slow-mo acid jam as championed by andy weatherall.

deep&disco recordings presents chicago-based band the right now with *call girl*, a gritty piece of live retro-soul with a package of varied and unique mixes. the a-side kicks off with hot toddy turning the funk up a notch in his characteristically musical way, in a mix that layers new live elements over the original and builds to a dazzling peak. following that is the original version: a straight-to-tape recording of the band with lush keys, tight rhythm section grooves, horn stabs, and vocals that drip with soul. then on the b-side, dicky trisco turns in a deep and dubby late-nite disco burner, and label head jkriv takes the tune into old-school house territory with thumping 909 drums and bouncing piano stabs. early dj support from kon, 6th borough project, lovebirds, ooft!, jacques renault and more.

the e.p kicks off with she can dance, a slow burning acid number that has elements of deep, grooving house from the detroit school. in fact, the second cut low control bares the influence of detroit too, with its murky, dubbed-out chords ala luke hess moving into a punchy bassline with minimal but functional drum patterns. proceedings get a bit more bouncy on the smoking hat, a quirky acid romp on the less daft side of ceephax, and the perfect soundtrack to accompany a feature-length documentary about.... a smoking hat. finishing up the e.p is fudge fingas remix of low control, the only man qualified to make an already deep as fuck track even deeper. theres been some on-point criticisms about a lot recent deep stuff getting lost in noodly jazz territory, but we are in no danger of that nonsense with fudge fingas at the controls: accomplished a musician he may be, hes never been one to lose the way, and this mix proves his deft and subtle remix talents. dabj done done it again, and hopefully this is the first in a long line of productions from vernon.

as a man well versed in the moves of the old-school, fabio monesi launches his albion imprint with the immaculately executed styles of 623, full of sexy 90s synth notes and crisp, pumping beats. washerman brings a more rugged style on his remix of the tune, dropping in some cheeky and thoroughly familiar samples, while the melody wobbles around an amorphous scale. the peephouse finds monesi reaching back to the soothing organ tones of the dx7, with a gentle and piano-driven throw down that stills carries plenty of heft for the floor. rio padice steps up for another remix of 623 and spreads a strange and nervous shape-shifter of a late-night jam, scattering the vocals like confetti and nudging the drums out of joint on a whim.

french fries delivers two originals on the cutting edge of modern bass. “space alarm” is right up in your face but artfully holds back right when you think it will go over the top. the inside “smoke wine” is more in the vein of last years smash “yo vogue,” yet more understated and deep which is rare for the genre. when i play these at the right time they always solicit an audible “ooooh” from the crowd at thedrops. remix #1 is by justin martin who really blows it up dirtybird style with almost a breakbeat old school electro beat. remix #2 is by dirtybird newcomers goldffinch via belgium who also deliver a really funk laden club version. both remixes are ace and the full release brings a very fresh sound to the label.
