gene hunt is one of the few producers from the original wave of trax records signees that still flies the flag for chicago house with as much gusto as when he started. this is his second trip out on inner shift music, and it finds the us house veteran on impeccable form. -kayla dream- is a light, airy jacker defined by amorphous synth washes that match the mellow mood of the label. -distant voyage- is a truly standout track though, dealing in crooked rhythmic structures and channelling the techno side of hunt s muse. -open up your eyes- maintains the introspective mood, but this time welcomes some soulful vocal turns into the adventurous, machine-powered landscape.

2deepsoul are the core crew behind inner shift music, so as you might expect they ve got a keen instinct for the finest strains of pure deep house as you d happily dig from the likes of patrice scott or fred p. they open up the windows ep with the dreamy haze of clarity before contour lines brings a pulsing, techy lead into the mixture of sweeping pads and snappy beats. someday is a rich, harmonious ambient excursion, and then its a sign finishes the ep off with a truly meditative trip for the smoothest deep house cruisers to lock onto.

the first inner shift encounter with ewan jansen was several years ago on a pair of test pressings, from mike grant of moods and grooves. the label hadn t even begun yet, but ewan created a huge impression and wasn t to be forgotten by them later. ffwd to 2016/17, enter: return to hyperbola. the first track in, you get a good tech house/deep house vibe called docking lane , fully equipped with lovely atmospheres, a driving kick and intelligent chords. next is bulkhead, mainly defined by a full-sounding, broken beat rhythm and expressive keyboards. b1 is deceleration , another 4-4 deep house number, but witha subtle quirkiness and over all moody feel. on the b2 is perspex, featuring a funky bass, nice pads and elevating keyboard part. dont miss out, ewan never fails to impress.

inner shift music presents jacksonville aka chris lyth who was featured on their collective continents ep with the city sleeps. jacksonville has had releases on several labels including atmospheric existence, thug records, and on his own rather excellent imprint doppler records.

for their sixth release, inner shift music are proud to present their second various artists compilation. it features four different tracks from different producers, each bringing their own unique yet interconnected sound to the ep.

with this new four-track ep by rai scott the slowly emerging producer moves away from being the enigma that appeared on a split 12- with brad peterson that launched the inner shift imprint in 2012. and by the sounds on this ep, she s someone to be noticed. preceding her forthcoming debut on ornate, scott provides another four-track called reason to smile for inner shift music. it s the fifth release for the label this year and -we love you- certainly earns its place as the record s a1, sweet and meaningful deep house. -keep on- is a dubbed out, bassline driven tribal journey of drums and low-end rhythm completed by emotional chords that eventually takeover, while -cats and water- is on a funky, stripped-back and loopy 90s techno tip. and for some ambient fun that then turns house: -sky in the clouds- is a perfect b2. an exciting producer house communities worldwide should be talking about in the second half of this year.

gene hunt is a prolific producer with an un-mistakable sound of his own. and although an originator of the acid house sound from chicago, he certainly didnt stop there. his music has naturally evolved over the years, often incorporating more mature melody and rhythm structures, but always in time with a proper underground style dance track. these tracks are a perfect fit for the direction and vision of the inner shift music label as well, and for this reason we are pleased to present you with planted seeds by gene hunt.

brad peterson comes out with his third full vinyl ep of the year and along with it a downloadable full album. both the ep & alubm are deep house groovers all the way through. those with a selective ear for quality music will appreciate this.
