HOUSE/ELECTRO/MINIMAL/TECH
UNDERWORLD
COWGIRL/REZ (TVT RECORDS) 12 - 36946
The second Underworld classic 12" that we've featured from the TVT/Wax Trax vaults following the re-issue of "Born Slippy", and one we're confident will sell out just as quickly! The "Rez" is the track that defined the tweaky progressive h ouse/techno explosion of the mid-Nineties, featuring tribal-ish drumming, signature cut-up breakbeats & hats joined by an absolute monster arpeggiated acid riff that will still move the floor just as fiercely here in 2001! BACK IN!(TVT8718)TECHNO- 1/01/98-US
ROXY MUSIC
RMX VOL 2 *GLIMMERS/RUB N TUG* (VIRGIN) 12 - 101400
Bryan Ferry and crew get some much-hyped remix pressure applied by two of the electro house scene's finest stars. The a-side features Rub n Tug's deconstruction of 'The Main Thing' while on the flip its The Glimmers with a twisted rework of 'Same Old Scene'.(VST1920)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/05/07-UK
SWAG VS BAKAZOO
HOT GLOVES / SNAKE HIP SHUFFLE (BATTLE) 12 - 101361
For those who thought these remixes would never see the light of day, here they are and let me tell you something: They're HOT! The A-side features SWAG's "Hot Gloves' remixed by Bakazoo (aka Pete Herbert). Pete's on fire right now and he came up with an awesome italo-disco monster. It keeps growing and growing and when the bassline finally drops all fucking hell breaks loose. This mix has already been licensed for Ralph Lawson's Fabric mix CD. On the flip Swag's Hot Shoe Shuffle Dub sounds like those fantastic hypnotic disco dub mixes straight outta 80's NYC.(BAT0102)HOUSE- 2/05/07-FR
DEMARKUS LEWIS
TELL ME WHY (SLIP N SLIDE) 12 - 101420
Brilliant new single from Demarkus Lewis on the mighty Slip n Slide imprint, one which has been tried & tested by Fred Everything for quite a few months now. For those that love his work with vocal tracks, 'Deez Main Pass' has just what you need, hard-hitting enough for the bigger rooms yet plenty soulful for your cooler lounge sets. On 'Deez Rework' we see him get darker and deeper, ala Kerri Chandler style with some cut-up vocals and quirky electronic b-line. Nice little bonus 'Key-a-Pella',featuring John Griffin's vocals in full effect, closing this one out in style.(SLIP220)HOUSE- 2/05/07-UK
NEWCLEUS
JAM ON IT*DJ T/C VON STROKE* (DEEPLAY SOULTEC) 12 - 101456
Its rare enough to find two of the biggest names in house today, DJ T and Claude Von Stroke, remixing the same record, but factor in the fact that the tune in question is 80's electro anthem 'Jam On It' by Newcleus and you can easily see what all the fuss is about! T is up first with a crazy electronic house relick that leaves plenty of the original's punch and energy well in there along with his trademark Get Physical sounds and arrangements. Then 'dirty bird' Claude Von Stroke drops a devastating slice of electro-funk, chopped-up and freaked out stuff that will have kids losing their shit. The flip features a pair of deeper techier mixes from Martin Brodin that work great for the cooler rooms out there.(DTEC013)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
PEVEN EVERETT
POWER SOUL *LP1* (SOUL HEAVEN) DP - 101509
Specially-priced double pack, first of two this week, featuring 6 tracks from PE's brand-new Soul Heaven artist album. Featured here on release one are the tracks Power Soul Intro/ Stuck/ Sexy Make Up/ Bad Treatment/ Surely Shorty/ Just A Girl.(PEV01LP1)HOUSE- 2/05/07-UK
PEVEN EVERETT
POWER SOUL *LP2* (SOUL HEAVEN) DP - 101510
2nd part of Peven Everett's brand new full artist album 'Power Soul' here on Soul Heaven. Combining a range of influences including gospel, jazz and house, Peven creates an album that truly transcends genres. Album 2 features the tracks Wild & Thick One/ Can't Do Without/ This Just In/ Futuristic/ Washing.(PEV01LP2)HOUSE- 2/05/07-UK
BENJAMIN FEHR
TRUTH *VILLALOBOS/BROCKSIEPER* (CATENACCIO) 12 - 101296
Benjamin Fehr's 'Truth & Consequences' release {Ccc003} comes in for some remix surgery, doctored by Ricardo Villalobos and Falko Brocksieper!! Senor Villalobos starts the party off with a wicked, downright evil minimal crunch remix that uses loads of spooky effected voical samples, dry rustling 8 bit percussion and ultra-deep basslines to totally warp your head! On the flip Mr Brocksieper opts for a slightly techier approach with some killer found sounds, crazy percussion noises and those amazing druggy vocal fragments adding the right hypnotic touch. Massive!!(CCCO06)MINIMAL HOUSE- 1/29/07-GE
WORLD DOMINATION VS ADAM SKY
GALACTIC LOVER (KITSUNE) 12 - 101424
Kitsune continue to churn out the hits coming correct with The World Domination's "Galactic Lover". Produced by Adam Sky (Crosstown Rebels and KITSUNE34) this anthem borrows a bit from T Rex, ZZ Top, Giorgio Moroder and SebastiAn. Nasty! On the flip the "Raverbilly" remix is the best dancefloor oriented space rock anthem you've never heard!(KITSUNE45)HOUSE- 2/05/07-FR
MASTIK SOUL
HOME WORK (4 KENZO) 12 - 100756
The A side track "This Is Obag" has already been licensed to Johnny Fiasco's mixed CD for OM and has a wicked bumping Wash House / Freaks / Dj Sneak vibe with an added touch of acid. Tres cool. On the flip you'll find two more jacking slabs of techy Classic / Chi-town funk perfect for all you Greens Keepers / Jacob London fans out there.(4KENZO013)HOUSE- 2/05/07-FR
ROYAL FLUSH SAMPLER
PT 14 *DUB DELUXE/DIRTY OLD AN (ROYAL FLUSH) 12 - 101293
Volume 14 in Royal Flush's Sampler series sees three more current smash hits all packaged on one tasty slab of wax. This volume features: Dub Deluxe "Rock Da Floor", Dirty Old Ann "Turn Me On" and Leonid Rudeno "Summerfish".(RFSAMPLE14)HOUSE- 2/05/07-FR
STEPHAN BODZIN
DAYTONA BEACH (SPIEL ZEUG) 12 - 101466
'Daytona Beach' is easily the most aggressive and muscular-sounding track from Bodzin yet, fluctuating between a MONSTER bass riff and pumped-up drums to periods of deep, minimal reflection that never let the floor properly catch its breath. Dope sounds and fx tricks galore too making this production stand even further out from the pack. The flipside track 'Bedford' has a deeper and more melancholy sound not unlike Nathan Fake gear.(SPIEL039)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
TOMAS ANDERSSON
MOT MATSALEN (BPITCH CONTROL) 12 - 101480
Massive release from Andersson already getting props and club plays from John Selway, Richie Hawtin, Agaric and Magda. These two new tracks feature intense knob tweaks, slider movements and general computer madness, resulting in a collage of sounds and fractured beats put together with Tomas' customary brilliance. Wonky, bass-fueled, booming shit from the Germanic version of Trevor Loveys!(BPC143)TECH HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
JETBOY
BLESSURE (ELECTROCHOC) 12 - 100671
Jetboy aka John Dahlback unleashes the acid pressure on "Blessure", a truly twisted slice of music. It features an ungodly psycho-acid line that's deep, squelchy at times and constantly shifting through frequencies. Drums are of the retro banging 909 in nature and the effects thrown into the mix are as freaky as the acid! NASTY SHIT! "Are You Really Ok?" on the flip is another bad ass tune from Mr Dahlback, deeper more like the output on Dessous.(CHOC017)HOUSE- 2/05/07-FR
TONY THOMAS
DRUMATICA *DJ CHUS* (TRIBO) 12 - 101184
Tony Thomas triumphantly returns with a tribal fucking bomb! "Drumatica" features slick percussive grooves, nicely layered batucada styled rhythms, massive over the top effects and a hot Beat Freak / Simon & Shaker tribal house vibe. Dj Chus gets down with a remix on the backside a slightly deeper more hypnotic reworking that uses those tribal rhythms to perfect ass moving effect.(TRIBO017)HOUSE- 2/01/07-SP
STARZOOM
BILLIE JEAN *HI TACK* (WHITE) 12 - 100828
The King Of Pop's seminal classic 'Billie Jean' storms into 2007 with a brand new set of mixes courtesy of Hi Tack and Dave Moreaux.(WL050)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/05/07-NL
BASEMENT BOYS PR MUDFOOT JO
NEVER SEEN IT COMIN (FREESTYLE) 12 - 101032
The Basement Boys have been the genuises behind the production of hits for the likes of Ultra Nate, Crystal Waters and Mass Order to name a few and have put their stamp on remixes for Michael Jackson, Erykah Badu, Angie Stone and Lenny Kravitz. Here they join forces with Louisiana born drummer Mudfoot Jo and deliver four tracks overflowing with soul, funk and positive energy guaranteed to make em sweat on the dancefloor guaranteed. "Never Seen It Coming" feels a lot like a live version of the Bucketheads "The Bomb" with a horn section playing much of the same riffs with some incredible live Latin percussion, vocal chants, slick jazzy piano licks and a soulful Masters At Work vibe.(FSR044)HOUSE- 2/05/07-UK
ARNO COST & ARIA
MAGENTA *D SPOON/T NOVY* (CR2) 12 - 101421
Young French producer Arno Cost adds another massive release under his belt following big ones on the Serial imprint. Here he teams up with fellow French producer Arias on this epic big room house attack. Make no mistake about it, 'Magenta' works a serious synth hook and that unmistakable big room vibe that will have fans of Angello/Ingrosso/Prydz wetting their drawers. And if that ain't enough, check out the remixes on offer here from both Dave Spoon and Tom Novy!(12C2044)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/05/07-UK
RIOT IN BELGIUM
LA MUSIQUE *ADAM SKY* (FINE) 12 - 101433
If you're into recent offerings on Kitsune, Boys Noize Ed Bangers etc you shouldn't miss this raunchy slab of sleaziness from the Fine imprint. "La Musique" features a filthy and quite epic bassline, infectious synth grooves and a wicked female vocal sung and moaned in French cut up ala Mr Oizo etc. Kitsune's Adam Sky pitches in with a remix on the flip a monstrous breaky bomb with a retro rave feel!(8697024907)PUNK/FUNK/DISCO- 2/05/07-UK
PHONOGENIC
ORANGE LEAVES *FREESTYLE MAN* (MOOD MUSIC) 12 - 101452
20:20 Vision regular Phonogenic returns to Mood Music with a gorgeous deep electronic house number entitled "Orange Leaves". It features gurgling analog bass, melodies reminiscent of early Orbital, pushing shuffling drums and dramatic pads that build tension nicely. Remixes come courtesy of Freestyle Man who pumps things up for his mix and Boogie Drama who get more acidic on their rub.(MOOD048)HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
MOONBEAM
ECLIPSE (TRAUM) 12 - 101478
Moonbeam's return to Traum is a wicked melodic tech house workout done in a Nathan Fake meets Lazy Fat People stylee. The original's deep, droning bass chords and infectious hi-hat shuffle lead you in toward a melancholic keyboard melody that provides the icing on the cake.(TRAUMV82)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
DARKO ESSER & BENNY RODRIGUES
PARADOX *MAGIK JOHNSON* (UNDERWATER) 12 - 101507
Amazing new release on Darren Emerson's surging Underwater imprint, as Darko Esser and Benny Rodrigues team up to bring you their ravey nu-tech sound of 'Paradox'. The original mix is definitely up for those who need to rock the bigger rooms, while Magik Johnson's bleeptastic remix caters more for the house heads that want a more underground, cutting edge sound.(H20079)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/05/07-UK
VISIONS OF TOMORROW
GALAXY *CHALES WEBSTER (PAST DUE) 12 - 101515
PAST DUE is a very special reissue label dedicated to the boogie down sounds of the 70's and the 80's. Here is our first offering: Visions Of Tomorrow "Galaxy", a super funky, synth lead early 80s instrumental tune. This 12" comes with two stunning reedits by CHARLES WEBSTER (MISO) & FRANCOIS A (BUZZIN’ FLY – DEEPLY ROOTED – STILL MUSIC)(PASTDUE001)HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
WHOREHOUSE
TOMS DINER / HEAR THE SOUND (WHITE) 12 - 101519

SLOPE
WANT CHOO *C WEBSTER/BUGZ IN* (SONAR KOLLEKTIV) 12 - 101523
'Slope ist dope!'; so says DANIEL PAUL, who together with his colleague HONESTY makes up the DJ/producer duo SLOPE. Included in the three tracks on this single there is the SLOPE remix of DANIEL MAGG’s O-Bah, which with its delay loops offers something for the deeper moments on the dance-floor. Apart from that theres two remixes of tracks taken from the last Slope album 'Komputa Groove', including CHARLES WEBSTER's remix of 'Nothing Like This Feeling' plus BUGZ-IN-THE-ATTIC members DAZ-I-KUE and AFRONAUGHT goes even further on their 'Want Choo Longa edit'.(SK134)NU JAZZ / BROKEN BEAT- 2/05/07-GE
MANI RIVERA & LEVI JIMENEZ
WITH FRIENDS VOL 1 (GLOBAL ART) 12 - 101524
Four tracks of darker bleepy Spanish house currently going round with the boys at Beat Freak especially D Formation who has bee beating this one to death..(GAM001)HOUSE- 2/05/07-SP
SHELDON ROMERO
FLESH (IBERICAN) 12 - 101185
Pure deep hypnotic Iberican grooves, dark dirty with some tripped out vocals that build with over the top effects providing for one fucked up druggy dancefloor moment. This is the tribal house of Spain that kick starts the party and drives folks mad. A must for fans of D Formation, Richie Santana and Sergio Fernandez.(IBER029)HOUSE- 2/01/07-SP
MARIO OCHOA & DJ FIST
SWEET LIES (WHITE) 12 - 101291
Mario Ochoa & Dj Fist go to town on Fleetwood Mac's "Little Lies" turning it into a monstrous peak hour house rub with cleverly replayed melodies and lots from the original including the chorus and bits of the guitar melody all jacked up, filtered to bits and building and shit. On the flip they provide a rattling reworking of Billy Ocean's "Carribean Queen".(OCHOFIST)HOUSE- 2/05/07-FR
SPACEJUNK
DOWN WITH YOU *H HEATH* (MAGNITUDE) 12 - 101294
This 4th release on Magnitude Recordings comes from Murray Richardson {20:20 Vision/Low Pressings} aka Spacejunk, delivering 3 squiggly, wonky tech house treats including a dope Harold Heath remix!(MGN004)TECH HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
GREGOR SALTO & CHUCKIE
TOYS ARE NUTS EP (G REX) 12 - 101404
Gregor Salto and new production partner Chuckie ain't trying to reinvent the wheel here, instead, they're chucking out your all weather radials for a nice set of racing slicks!! This 4 tracker combines some of the sickest tribal beats on wax, crazy teched out sounds and Afro-Carribean touches that simply annhilate on a big rig. Massive.(GREX014)TRIBAL- 2/05/07-NL
TCS VS LEVEL 42
LESSONS IN LOVE*M DANIELS* (ZOUK) 12 - 101405
Mischa Daniels delivers two stunning mixes of Level 42's classic 'Lessons In Love', both of which are done so well that they'll amaze both the older heads as well as the new kids who may not even be familiar with the original. Both the 'EPic Mix' and b-side 'House Mix' features some ultra-phat Basoski-like drum patterns, catchy synth keys and slick rolling bass to go along with the original sampled vox.(ZOUK001)HOUSE- 2/05/07-NL
JOHN ACQUAVIVA PR SWEN WEBER
FIRST STROKE *MOLDAN* (PARADISE) 12 - 101427
First Stroke is a rugged and quite hypnotic electro house jam that has been the top download for more than one of the big sites. Here on the much better sounding vinyl release, gorgeously mastered it appears with remixes from Scratch Massive (My Best Fried / Chateau Rouge) who provides the funky house reworking and Oliver Moldan who takes the track into darker more minimal waters!(PARADISE43)HOUSE- 2/05/07-FR
ERICK E
THE BEAT IS ROCKIN *LE GRANDE* (GUSTO) 12 - 101435
Erick E's bomb "The Beat Is Rockin" has been found it's way onto several of Europe's bigger independent imprints.

MAGIK JOHNSON
NAUGHTY GIRL *LUKE WALKER* (ELECTRIBE) 12 - 101457
You all know Magik Johnson by now but have you ever heard him with an edgy new sound like THIS? 'Naughty Girl' is unlike anything we've heard from MJ before, sort of a cross between a hungover Paul Woolford and Hot Chip, with a decadent male vocal and all sorts of grindy, gritty, seedy 80's synth sounds and basslines. Luke Walker's remix gets even filthier, with some NASTY filtering fx and drum edits- sex on wax!!(ELEC029)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/05/07-UK
PHIL STUMPF
CUT *RUI DA SILVA* (OUT OF ORBIT) 12 - 101460
Stumpf returns to Martinez 'Triple O' imprint with another blissed-out dub house EP that combines his unique approach, marrying musical synth arrangements with some good old-fashioned synth bleepiness and deep atmospheres that recall early Warp, B12 and Global Communication releases. On the remix its none other than Rui Da Silva working his magic, resulting in a thick, jacking rework with some AMAZING drum sounds- we have no idea how Rui ever came up with them- a total reconstruction that will leave no dancefloor untouched.(ORB024)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
KALIBER
10 (KALIBER) 12 - 101461
The journey continues! The 10th installment in the Kaliber series opens with a wicked Mandy-styled track on the a-side that blends some Nathan Fake-ish melodic stabs with wicked cut beats and LFO cycles. The B1 is on the Dahlback/Bodzin tip with more bell-like synth sounds and reduced tech house percussion while the B2 is a floor-rocker of the highest order.(KAL010)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
NATHAN FAKE
OUTHOUSE*KANZYANI/NASTIC* (RECYCLED LOOPS) 12 - 101465
You basically can't go wrong with Nathan Fake's seminal 'Outhouse', hence this 2nd remix installment on Recycled Loops that features Valentino Kanzyani and Marko Nastic each dropping killer new interpretations. Valentino's mix hits the original's melancholy vibe dead-on, with active electronic drum patterns and well-placed drops. Nastic's mix adds a grungier John Dahlback/Stephan Bodzin feel for those that like their minimal more 'maximal'.(RELOOP022)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
JENS ZIMMERMANN
TRANQUILLITE (K2) 12 - 101473
Zimmermann's 'Tranquillite' ought to come with one of those 'Beware Of Sub Bass' warning stickers on the front cover. He manages to coax some truly bottomless subs out of his gear on this track, with vocodered synth overlay and uber-reduced percussion over top like a more dancefloor-capable Basic Channel for 2007. Love it.(K222)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
PHONOGENIC
ROOMA (KICKBOXER) 12 - 101474
Another brilliant EP from Tuomas Salmela aka Phonogenic {of 20:20 Vision fame}, this time out on the German Kickboxer imprint delivering a couple of intense maximal tech house bangers designed with the James Holden generation in mind. The a-side combines Tomas Andersson sounding synth hits, dry 12 bit fx and crunchy percussion into an energetic, building housey workout. Over on the flip you get a smoothed out 4/4 jacker with infectious rolling arpeggiator bassline.(KICK013)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
BUSH II BUSH
NEW NATION (WHOOP) 12 - 101503
No-one much bigger out there right now than Andry Nalin and Gregor Wagner aka Bush II Bush, here lighting up the Whoop! label with this massive new single 'New Nation'. Two excellent mixes to choose from: the full-on Vocal Mix or the twisted Instrumental Mix for the Kurd Maverick fans out there.(WH107)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/05/07-UK
SUPERCHUMBO
FALL OUT (CHUMBO MUNDO) 12 - 101506
Mr Tom Stephan aka Superchumbo taking the reins himself here with two piping hot mixes of the killer 'Fall Out'. Edgy dark electro-tribal gear on the original backed with the sinister sounds and filthy bass of 'Fall In' over on the flip.(LEAD005)TRIBAL- 2/05/07-UK
MARTIJN TEN VELDEN /L FOORT
BASSIFICATION (TOOLROOM TRAX) 12 - 101508
Dutch duo Martijn Ten Velden and Lucien Foort follow their club anthem 'Bleeep' with another surefire rocker for the Toolroom crew. Featuring the original mix plus a remix each from each of the guys, 'Bassification' is jammed to the rafters with bleepy synths, tightly packed rhythms and crisp basslines, reminding us of the sounds of guys like Rene Amesz and James Talk.(TRT24)ELECTRO HOUSE- 2/05/07-UK
THE DONS
BIG FUN (HED KANDI) 12 - 101518
LIMITED ADVANCE COPIES! The DONS cover this Inner City classic!(HK31P1)HOUSE- 2/05/07-UK
CHRISTIAN DE HUGO
MUSIC IS U *JULIAN POKER* (DOTCOM) 12 - 101521
Big energetic vocal house tune on the retro Murk meets Danny Tenaglia tip with a special remix from Beat Freak's Julian Poker who takes the track into funkier electro house peak time territory.... You might remember Christian from his releases on Stereo...(DCR005)HOUSE- 2/05/07-SP
PETER GELDERBLOM
IBERIS COMPLEX (SOLAR) 12 - 101401
Peter Gelderblom quickly follows up his Stereo Cool hit with another killer for the Solar imprint. "Iberis Complex" is a rough and rugged dirty house number with hard edged super funky synth grooves that lead into a vocal led build that sounds like a Spanish electro "Din Da Da". SICK! Wicked beats mix is on the flip!(SOLAR020)HOUSE- 2/01/07-SP
DANIEL CASTILLO
DREAMERS SITE (MOSS) 12 - 101085
This is the Spanish take on the Radio Slave sound, bleepy but much more jacked up and peak time dancefloor shit. The title tune is the one, it flips up nicely midway through going all old school ecstasy on your ass before kicking back into the bleepy big beatfest.(MM008)HOUSE- 2/05/07-SP
ZENTEX
ALKU EP (RESOPAL RED) 12 - 101282
Up n' coming Finnish producer Zentex has already had a string of killer releases on Kickboxer which have truly opened the door to the big leagues for him as you can hear with this debut on the mighty Resopal Red label {Shonky/Fraktion}.(RSPRED011)MINIMAL HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
SARAH MCLEOD
HE DOESNT LOVE YOU *HOOKNSLING (ROYAL FLUSH) 12 - 101290
HookNSling's turn in two incredible remixes of Sarah McLeod's Renaissance hit, "He Doesn't Love You". His mixes are both tightly packed electro house rubs with drums that are sharp, hard edged and slightly breaky at times, punchy rhythms and great effects. On his vocal mix he uses Sarah's vocals to perfect effect and the dub takes a turn for the dirtier, grungier side of electro house(RF060)HOUSE- 2/05/07-FR
LOCKTOWN FT ALEXANDRA PRINCE
ALIVE *HENRIK B* (FULL HOUSE) 12 - 101328
First of two smoking releases on the Full House imprint this week, complete with a rocking techy mix from Henrik B....(FH027)HOUSE- 2/05/07-FR
ALEXANDER MAIER
ROAD OF INJURY (BUZZIN FLY) 12 - 101348
Ben Watt’s Buzzin Fly kicks off 2007 in the same way they ended 2006, on a deep and electronic tip brought to you this time by Austria's Alexander Meier. 'Road Of Injury' is an instant dancefloor killer, energised by pulsing trancey washes and an irresistable Euro-disco bassline. Kraftwerk meets Crosstown Rebels with a splash of Moroder for good measure!(024BUZZ)MINIMAL HOUSE- 1/29/07-UK
PROFESSIONAL LOSERS
BIG NASTY FILTHY BASS (SOUTHERN FRIED) 12 - 101413
As the title suggests this fucker has some "Big Nasty Filthy Bass" and a club rocking peak hour sweaty sleazy vibe. Fatboy Slim has been devistating crowds with this one for months. Remix comes from Cagedbaby and Nathan Detroit who team up as BabyDetroit and deliver a deeper more hypnotic and equally sleazy mix with a infectious new synth hook and off the wall sounds flying around the mix.(ECB109)HOUSE- 2/05/07-UK
DJ B & NEAL PAUL
ECCENTRIC MOOD (SOULFURIC DEEP) 12 - 101425
Soulfuric have moved their production overseas and this is the first of a slew of gorgeous deep electronic soulful house cuts coming by way of France. The main mix has a dope little captivating organ hook backed by hypnotic grooves and deep bass, think Akabu with more of a upbeat vibe.(SFD0041)HOUSE- 2/05/07-FR
JOHN MORELY
NAUGHTY *MONOLOOP/KLAAS* (KINGDOM KOME CUTS) 12 - 101432
Kingdom Kome Cuts follows up their huge releases from Sebastien Leger and Jerry Ropero with this nasty little number from John Morely. "Naughty" is a rocking and quite sleazy electro house bomb with a dirty little female vocal, slick synth work and driving beats. Three more mixes on this plate courtesy of Klass (Full Force Sessions), Peter Kerns and Monoloop.(KKC023)HOUSE- 2/05/07-FR
JERRY ROPERO FT KATHY BROWN
OCEAN DRUMS (FULL HOUSE) 12 - 101441
After making the rounds on a slew of other imprints, this huge hit from Jerry Ropero featuring the vocals of Kathy Brown find a new home on Full House. Four funky mixes to choose from here!(FH028)HOUSE- 2/05/07-FR
AUTOTUNE
INFLUENSA (FUMALAB) 12 - 101449
The first release on the Fumakilla sub label Fumalab is a KILLER! "Influensa" is just as infectious as its title with one of the baddest bottom ends we've heard so far this year. The bass bubbles and gurgles with deep analog acidic funk while a wicked Lo Soul flavored snaking synth groove backed by shuffling deep beats and a dubby vibe! On the flip you'll find another similarly styled bomb with more of a Detroit lean giving it a more Poker Flat feel and rounding off this debut is a Mossa styled dark cut up glitchy bomb.(FUMALAB01)HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
ADJD
HOW ABOUT THAT THING (HARTHOUSE) 12 - 101458
Jesper Dahlback and Alexi Delano team up on this killer electronic/techno/house monster on Harthouse. The title track features plenty of good ol' fashioned analogue knob tweaking, thick driving riffs and stomping beats. Its the B2 cut that ought to be a 'secret squirrel' track for the likes of Doc Martin, entitled 'Catch Me In The Dark' this cut is a complete change of pace from the intense a-side, featuring a soulful male vocal and deep, dubbed-out tech house production. Have a good listen!(HHMA008)TECH HOUSE- 2/05/07-GE
