new 3 track release by big strick on his label 7 days entertainment. raw detroit house and techno as we like it!!

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!

when it comes to offbeat raw detroit house music you cant really mess with omar-s and his fxhe label. on this new double pack hes keeping it in the family with his cousin big strick providing us with 3 fresh tracks and omar-s treating us to his versions of his cousins tracks. both twelves flow nicely, mixing up early chicago sounds (think virgo, larry heard) with some uber-crisp drum programming from strick and omar-s. fans of big stricks 7 days ep will not be disappointed with this. six tracks filled with raw grit and jacking rhythms, house heads should definitely pick this up.

fxhe records hits us with one of the best house records we have hard this year, produced by omar s cousin - big strick. highly recommended

after releases on kling klong and hooking up with the legendary dj hell for an release on his gigolo label, mijk van dijk returns in his plato disguise - proggy neo trance! support by boris dlugosch & gabriel & dresden !!

5th album

the martinez brothers in the mix for fabric - here are 12 unmixed tracks from their set on double vinyl. housed in a gatefold sleeve with download code included.

for the 9th instalment in dba s dubs series ikonika and big strick square off head to head, following the hyperdub artist s genre-defying distractions lp earlier this year. oral suspension is an instrumental which switches rough-shod between a uk halfstep crunch and a hoop dreams era chicago bounce. on the flip big strick brings his characteristic smooth groove to the table for the remix, which, though laidback, is nevertheless bound to energise the dancers. evading the ubiquitous pigeonholes, ikonika has variously been known for her dubstep innovations, her uk funky experiments on hum and buzz and her post-urban sketches for hyperdub. meanwhile though an interest in techno and specifically the sounds of the midwest have underpinned her work.

news of the record first broke back in december, when omar-s, real name alex omar smith, contributed a three-hour mix for ra’s 500th podcast. the lp will be smith’s fifth full-length release, and arrives three years after his most recent album, 2013’s thank you for letting me be myself. like almost all of the detroit artist’s catalogue so far, the best lands on smith’s own fxhe records. it comprises 11 tracks, featuring collaborations with fellow motor city acts such as norm talley, ob ignitt and kyle hall.
