bobby b (a.k.a andre ferreira) is perhaps best known as bobby browser, as he is previously issued a pair of eps for the 100% silk label under that name. those records were excellent, but its fair to say that his icee hot debut finds ferreira exploring a richer, deeper sound. >history< is slow-burning deep house jaunt that subtly nods to detroit along the course of its soul-drenched journey. >so true< warms things up, but only slightly, as its relaxed tones, warbling melodies, and loosely stitched breakbeat offer a blissed-out path to the dancefloor.

for its eighth release apartment delivers its first long player, by mysterious producer, vernon (dixon avenue basement jams / night gallery). little is known of this artist – what we do know is that his formative years were spent in belgium, immersing himself in the emerging new beat and ebm sounds emanating from the countrys dance clubs. for his release on apartment he has created 6 tracks that reflect these early influences, whilst also taking in other techno, house and electro influences. pounding drums, rasping hi-hats, rave stabs, twisting acid lines and grinding synths all come together under the unique tutelage of this most skilled of producers, all the while watched by the experts…

you can tell label owner max m loves producers that arent afraid to experiment with the most hypnotic and mind bending properties of techno and electronic music in general. with seven release under its belt, its now obvious that grey series was conceived around a very clear idea: organic sounds, complete lack of stylistic restrictions and an overarching love for introspective and crepuscular atmospheres. the eighth 12inch in the series is signed by spanish producer tadeo, who follows a long list of releases on his very own cyclical tracks and another intelligence imprints with four caliginous cuts that belong to the brainiest and state inducing sets
