here on wys018 you will find three pure authenic house monster

cork label basic grooves keep the focus on irish talent for their fifth release as label boss shane linehan welcomes his namesake bambrick into the fold for some well judged, atmospheric deepness. the process finds the waterford based producer veering through dark, heads down terrain though the dubby elements are complemented by a woozy melodic melancholy thanks to the gentle chords that spread out. linehan maintains the basic groove momentum on the flip with a remix that is more stripped back, lending those chords some glowing incandescence, whilst the percussion swells with sweet intensity as it progresses.

having established his own basic grooves imprint with a trio of sultry new jersey influenced house releases, shane linehan hands the fourth release over to up and coming french producer janeret. *hard deep* goes even, ahem, deeper that linehans efforts for the label, combining a slamming mid-tempo kick drum with crisp and cavernous dub piano chords and the subtlest of organ riffs, making a nice contrast to the more upbeat styles of linehan. on the flip, linehan delivers his own version of track which ups the tempo and offers a ravey, pitched take on the originals simple one chord piano line, complete with bristling hi-hats and warm pad breakdown.

hailing from ireland, shane linehan is committed to showcasing the finest that new jersey-styled house music has to offer. having impressed with his release for local talk, he returns to his own basic grooves imprint to get the good times rolling with aplomb. >ilinx< wears its heart on its sleeve with a crisp beat that makes all the right moves, while a slick organ chord line takes centre stage in an upbeat revelry written for the start of the weekend. >so now you know< on the flip is a more contemplative affair, although no less steeped in bumping house culture. the keys are played in a more downbeat refrain and the beats a little more restrained, but this is still very much a dancefloor burner

after a little delay the first installment in the saft series is finally here!
