tyree coopers all you need is house ep is a proud celebration of the genre, done chicago style and rammed home by marco’s wailing vocals. through solid drums and strong vocal hooks, coopers original beats down hard justifying the need for a 180g pressing. it rattles and hums until dropping into a tom-drum and snare solo similar to runaways *brooklyn club jam*. bobby starrs mix brings marcos teddy pendergrass-sung vocals to the fore, while milty evans gets a little techier with a cut up approach, adding white noise flashes and lots of filterwerk. cooper second take comes via a classic dub which draws a link between squelchy baile funk and a masters at work drum track.

beach mode (keep it simple) is the perfect snapshot of ikonikas new album aerotropolis. it is also her first vocal track, graced with the voice of *one to watch*, jessy lanza. beach mode combines sunny salsa-like chords and claves, inspired by latin freestyle dance music from the 80s, with jessys vocals cutting in over some soaring rough synths. it is a refreshingly straight forward and sensual piece of pop dance. side b starts with a dub mix for all the vocal haters, while the percapella version breaks it down into a syncopated drum track and a slightly dubbed take on the vocals, giving it a tracky and colder toughness reminiscent of early chicago house music. get into beach mode.

chasing kurt, das sind pascal blanché, wojtek kutschke und lukas poloczek: zwei langjährige deep-house-fans und ein einzelgängerischer funk n soul-typ, den sie unterwegs aufgabelten. alles begann in einer schicksalhaften nacht in gießen, wo die jungs zu hause sind. wie die meisten zufälligen rendezvous unserer zeit geschah es in einer bar: dj legt bis tief in die nacht auf und barkeeper mixt, was das zeug hält. als für beide das ende ihrer schicht naht, wagt barkeeper ein paar gesangseinlagen. das fällt dj auf. er lädt barkeeper zu einer jam-session ein, im bescheidenen studio eines dritten. barkeeper ist hocherfreut. house ist eigentlich nicht so sein ding, aber er tritt seit jahren auf und jammt, und so sagt er sofort zu. das ergebnis ist daydream , eine sanfte und doch satte, glutvolle kleine ballade – die dabei so gut ist, dass für ihre veröffentlichung ein brandneues label gegründet wird. es folgten verschiedene weitere releases, die den fokus auf chasing kurt lenkten. so ist der track money von maya jane coles für ihre dj-kicks-mix-compilation ausgewählt worden. innerhalb kürzester zeit hat das trio mit riesenschritten sein ganz eigenes dance-podest erklommen. from the inside , das debütalbum von chasing kurt, begeistert mit schleppenden beats und verschleierten dancefloor-rhythmen, wunderbar gepaart mit verführerischen legenden von verlorenen lieben und gewonnenen schlachten. eine runde, sorglos dance-platte und ein alles umhüllendes hörerlebnis.

illusion recordings is bringing an absolute stomper from the appropriately titled ny stomp with a track called >the ny house track<. a massive track inspired by new york, jersey house music and designed to get every party rocking! ny stomp is a special project by gerd (clone/4lux) who made this track to add to his live set with no intention to release it. it was just a cut made for his live sets and done as an hommage to the early days of ny and nj house. however after playing this at a party from the illusion guys in leeds he got tortured by the guys to make him release it... and lets be honest... it would have been a shame if these cuts never made it to vinyl! one the flip side a slightly more introvert track calles >can you feel it<. on remix duty its nicholas and dj aakmael both doing an excellent job by smoothening things up and take things a bit deeper. proper house music!
