Rough Recordings and it’s Rough Limited sub-label was launched by Tobias Hölzel aka Tobi Danton and Daniel Napolitano in 2014 out of Stuttgart, Germany and over the years has release its contemporary twist on classic house sounds from the likes of Ruff Stuff, Black Loops, Diego Krause, Kevin Over and more.

Here the label welcomes several of the aforementioned back for the fourth instalment of its Rough Cutz series. Across the package Tobi Danton, Frag Maddin and Tilman deliver raw deep house cuts employing the classic tropes of swinging rhythm’s, airy chord sequences and hazy vocals.
Ruff Stuff’s ‘Metro Alchemy’ lays down a more synth-led feel via choppy bass and fluttering arpeggios while Dub Striker’s ‘Blurred Vision’ opens the release on a cinematic tip. Further contributions come from Annéke Laurent, who embraces a more stripped-back textureal aesthetic as well as music from Kevin Over and dotSTRIPE who lean further towards a more bumpy House feel.
