If you are a lover and buyer of House Music, you’re almost certain to have a Soulfuric production in your collection. Brian Tappert's label has been writing hits now for over 10 years and in the last two years has launched a couple of subsidary labels to help with the output of Soulfuric and that's where DeVice comes in, now on its 15th release and for the first time issued in the UK. The Bongoloverz have releases a string of dancefloor hits including the massive club tracks 'The Power of Music' & 'La Esperanza' released on Soulfuric earlier this year. The Bongoloverz get together with Latin Diva Ursula Cuesta to produce their latest offering 'La Fiesta',which comes in two hot mixes, the Balearic vocal mix and the Instrumental Nacho Flava mix plus bonus beats and accapella. So if you have recently returned from Ibiza or still thinking of the summer, then this is a record for you. The Balearic mix is a peak time vocal track with a Latin Vibe and on the flip a big Latinesque dance floor roller with peak time drops in the Basement Jaxx mould. Both mixes have been getting support worldwide and now finally available on 12" Vinyl.

TREVOR LOVEYS & SINDEN

ORGAN GRINDER (DUBSIDED) 12  - 104714

Another absolutely massive new jam from Dubsided with Trevor Loveys and Sinden doing the damage this time out. This 4 tracker leads off with the bumpin' title cut 'Organ Grinder' with its fierce jackin' beats, squelchy acidic bassline from hell and all manner of wonky, cut-up and generally abused samples and sounds- easily one of THE best Dubsided tracks yet, and thats only the FIRST of 4 tracks on this EP!!! Loveys follows suit with 'The Crossing', 'Can't Stop' plus a new edit of 'Finger Jackin' that makes damn sure you get more than your money's worth.(DSD013)HOUSE- 6/11/07-UK

MR OIZO

TRANSEXUAL (ED BANGERS) 12  - 104466

2007 is set to be as big a year for Mr Oizo as 1997, the year in which "Flat Beat" was released. His productions as of late have been the driving force of the nu rave movement and this five tracker provides a funkier edge to that sound. The title cut is a speak n spell styled bomb that is catchy as hell. "Ovoma" gets raw and funky with synth grooves that are off the wall and quite infectious as well, sounding like a quirky movie soundtrack meets dirty underground funk. "Patrick 122" is already a huge one for Justice, Dj Mehdi and the rest of the Bangers crew, cut and paste disco meets nu rave meets Daft Punk and Outkast. Rounding off the ep is "Blind Concerto" a trippy electro disco tainted number that gets crazy on the synth arpeggios and effects.(ED016)NU RAVE- 6/11/07-FR

THE CHAP

MORILLO FT P DIDDY

MY WORLD PT 1 *NOVY* (SUBLIMINAL) 12  - 104500

Erick Morillo teams up with P Diddy on this hard hitting club number which has anthem written all over it.

This first of two 12"s for the cut also features a wicked mix from Tom Novy.(SUB183)HOUSE- 6/11/07-UK

Second set of essential mixes for this P Diddy & Erick Morillo collaboration comes from two producers who are very much at home on Subliminal, Richard F and Harry "Choo Choo" Romero. Richard F is first on the control dropping quite the hard hitting house bomb with grinding new synths and nice use of Diddy's vocals. Harry's mix has a more German house meets Metro Area feel with quirky & cool synth riffs, driving drums and a minimal vibe.(SUB183R)HOUSE- 6/11/07-UK

FRANCOIS DUBOIS

I TRY *J ANDERSON* (URBAN TORQUE) 12  - 104719

2nd remix disc from Mr Dubois aka Funk D'Void is an all-star affair featuring contributions from Jamie Anderson, Steve Ferrand and Aqua Bassino. Jamie's mix fittingly leads off the package, a deeper than deep excursion with sublime taunting synths, uplifting chords and rounded techy beats that've been gaining rave reviews from Laurent Garnier, Digweed, James Talk to name but a few. Dessous producer Steve Ferrand follows nicely with a wicked tech house workout thats all about the sharp, surgically precise beats and laidback chords. Finally F Com's Aqua Bassino comes wtih a moody techno finisher that is worth the price of admission all by itself!(URTR035)TECH HOUSE- 6/11/07-UK

CALLISTO (SYSTEMATIC) 12  - 104709

Stephan and Marc present their 7th single together, the awesome track 'Callisto' which shows off their impeccable electronic house skills like never before.

OK... so, we didnt see this one coming! When Tejada & Maxwell get together, the results are pretty damn hot 99% of the time, but we weren't quite ready for this one right here. 4 cuts of completely mental, late night gritty MONSTERS!

Dancefloor demolisher from Rene Amesz & Peter Gelderblom, "Snap" features a freaked out funking synth hook on the electro tip, booming bass & beats, big drop outs, a touch of filtering and relentless energy. Micky Slim & Chris Lake join forces for a remix that adds more electro house power, filthing out the bassline and getting even freakier on the effects for the huge synth hook. Big one for sure!(RF068)HOUSE- 6/07/07-FR

Without going to much into how amazingly drugged up and spaced out these two edits are lets tell you what's what. Joakim gets dirty on JJ Cale's "Ride Me High", while Pilooski edits the crap out of Yellow Power's "Hai Samurai". Don't sleep this is a limited pressing!(TSR022)EDIT- 6/11/07-FR

FRANCK ROGER

AFEFE (REAL TONE CUTS) 12  - 102209

Naughty business here from Franck Roger who delivers two reworkings of a track we're pretty sure originally came from Afefe Iku.

DATA

AERUS LIGHT (NAIVE) 12  - 104612

A frontal audio assault of the Ed Bangers kind on "Aerus Light" with drums that sound like a dj rocking doubles, epic aggressive melodies with that Daft-ish sound and no holds barred editing making for a funky ride from beginning to end. A huge tune for Guns N Bombs, Justice and Mr Oizo right now. The remix from Breakbot has a deeper Air sound that begs for laidback lounges and a movie soundtrack. It will definitely work on those outdoor, beach floors and is pure sunshine.(NV812661)NU RAVE- 6/11/07-FR

CANVAS

THE CAT (REBEL ONE) 12  - 104678

Another huge strike from Crosstown Rebels' Rebel One division. 'The Cat' is a hypnotic micro-techno bubbler produced by a well-known {but on the downlow} producer which for our dollar sounds like Martin Buttrich or Locodice. Slinky, rolling bizness from Canvas!(REBELONE09)TECH HOUSE- 6/11/07-UK

CHAB & JD DAVIS

GIRLZ *KIKO (M CONVENE) 12  - 104630

Girlz is going to be one of those cuts that you're going to see on all this summer's compilations and will likely find a home on Data, Positiva or another mini major.

If you're looking for future soul ala Jill Scott / Erykah Badu, look no further than Yellowtail ft Jena Fujita's "Over It". On the flip Shawn J Period's "Places Everyone" has a nasty midtempo funk vibe that brings back the heydays of United Future Organization / Giant Step and acid jazz / trip hop.  REPRESSED! LOOK OUT FOR A NEW BROWNSWOOD COMING AT YOU NEXT WEEK!(BW006)DOWNTEMPO-10/09/06-UK

Four artists are featured on this offering including a fabulous cut from Nikola Baytala & Kwai Le Chef who along with Rasoul comprise the group S.W.A.T (Nightshift/Tweekd/Soulfood). Their track "Saboteur" has a jacking west coast vibe reminiscent of Leaf / Panhandle releases and features some old samples laced into a new jacking groove. Tyler Lewis (Lifted/Totem) drops the funk on "Shake It", a tracky jacking track that most certainly does (shake it that is!). Stefan Braatz's "What You Want" is another straight jacker on the Chi-town tip and rounding off the ep nicely is Dope Freq'n C-Kickin' "Da Funk"(SOULLTD011)HOUSE- 6/07/07-FR

MIKAEL WEILL

AME

BALANDINE EP (INNERVISIONS) 12  - 104589

Well, here we go again, folks. A new hit for AME off of the Innervisions imprint. This one is a 2 tracker in their traditional signature style. 2 slow building floor movers that work the feet as well as the head. Not QUITE as magical as "Rej" but 2 hits nonetheless.(IV11)HOUSE- 6/04/07-GE

OXIA / INTUS

DER DRITTE RAUM

PLUTONIUM (HARTHOUSE) 12  - 104704

Long one of John Digweed's favourite producers, Andreas Kruger aka Der Dritte Raum delivers another essential release this time for Harthouse. 'Plutonium' is an out & out dancefloor BURNER, packing one of the funkiest DDR drum grooves we've ever heard along with a hypnotising synth hook and stripped-down bassline. Ditto 'Willi Muller' although this track sticks to the more groovier elements for an uninterrupted dancefloor ride. Finally 'Aquamarin' blisses out your neurons with arpeggiated synths, string washes and syncopated percussion sequences.(HHMA010)MINIMAL TECHNO- 6/11/07-GE

BLU MAR TEN

ALL OVER AGAIN *MIDDLETON* (EXCEPTIONAL) 12  - 104711

This trio is well known for their fine Drum & Bass pedigree but like many of the producers from that scene Blu Mar Ten are no slouches when it comes to producing high quality house. 'All Over Again' is a deep, classy workout with soulful   male vocals and an amazing reese bassline complimenting the lads' tight pumping groove and ethereal washes of sound. On the remix is none other than Tom Middleton, utilising all his 'Jedi' powers as he reworks the track with a sizzling 'French Kiss'-style b-line, revamped percussion and sounds resulting in a phenomenal Chicago-flavoured jacker that will be in demand for ages to come!(EXEC79)TECH HOUSE- 6/11/07-UK

HERB LF

FRUCHTALARM *WIGHNOMY* (FARSIDE) 12  - 104727

Deep slow and sexy soulful house groover with delicious touches of techiness, beautiful atmospherics, deep effects and long playing head nodding, butt shaking locked on grooves. Robag Wruhme don's the Wighnomy monniker for the remix, a sweet Jazzanova meets Mr Scruff styled mix with dope key riffs, a bassline that sounds like it was lifted from St Germain (we think it was actually) a jazzy horn riff and great syncopated beats. Matt Flores finishes off the package with a dub of "City Rush Boogie", a deep dub house gem reminiscent of early Cross Traxx / Guidance material.(FAROTRS6)HOUSE- 6/11/07-GE

KOOP

REMIXES *BEANFIELD/PROMMER/SIR (COMPOST) 12  - 104728

Third installment in the "Koop Island" remix series comes with hot club mixes by Christian Prommer who takes on "Drum Rhythm A" twisting it into a 7 minute tech jazz / classic house workout. This mix has been getting support from Louie Vega and Karizma and has a latin tech vibe. Beanfield reworks "I See A Different You" a moody, melancholic and quite stunning piece of music reminiscent of early Irresistable Force / Mixmaster Morris material. Last but not leas is the Sirs remix of "Lets Elope"(COMP256)HOUSE- 6/11/07-GE

GIORGOS GATZIGRISTOS

NEW WORLD ORDER (K2) 12  - 104756

This guys stuff just keeps getting better and better! For his 3rd release for Kompakt sublabel K2, Mr Gatzigristos gets even MORE mental than previous with a thick bassline and all kinda of trippy things going on. But this has more drive than usual. Think DAN BELL meets PACO OSUNA and youre about there. On the flip, things get more mental and housier.(K227)MINIMAL TECHNO- 6/11/07-GE

GUILLAUME & THE COUTY DUMONTS

MY MAIN MAN (HARTCHEF DISCOS) 12  - 104820

Swinging jack trax from Montréal's Guillaume & The Coutu Dumonts. "My Main Man" is a quirky, and quite funky percussive soulful house gem with Akufen styled cut and paste action featuring a heavenly vocal that sounds like it was lifted from an Etta James record while the beats get more and more syncopated until they're full on breaky house action in the back. Tres delicious!(HCF12)HOUSE- 6/11/07-GE

ELON

MOVIN IN *RITON* (MADE TO PLAY) 12  - 103173

New York based Elon delivers his very first high profile release for Jesse Rose's Made to Play Recordings. "Movin In" is a bleepy and punchy tune with a lots of nice editing and FX thrown from every angle. Keep your eyes on this guy. Weve heard alot of his stuff thats coming over the next year, and most of it is mind blowing! On the flip, Riton does his thing and makes the original a peak hour, blissed out monster. This one should be pretty huge.(MTP006)HOUSE- 4/09/07-GE

DUSTY CABINETS

SHE FORGOT HER BANNER (KICKBOXER) 12  - 104655

JORGE SAVORETTI

CLARIDAD EP (MUPA) 12  - 104659

The king of the minimal basslines, Jorge Savoretti, hits us with the hot shit for Mupa. 3 cuts of shifty and deep minimal techno which would work well at peak hours, as well as the deeper afterhours sets.(MUPA05)MINIMAL TECHNO- 6/04/07-GE

SUPER FLU

SHE (TRAUM SCHALLPLATTEN) 12  - 104666

Newcommers Super Flu brings us what sounds to us like a jackin version of James Holden's remix of "The Sky Was Pink". I guess that makes it sound wack, but its really not. These tracks could easily have come out on BORDER COMMUNITY, and are neck and neck with anything thats already on that label. Really nice stuff, and can't wait to see whats next for these guys.(TRAUMV87)MINIMAL TECHNO- 6/04/07-GE

WIGHNOMY BROTHERS

GUPPIPEITSCHE (FRUEDE AM TANZEN) 12  - 104653

Heres a new one from Wighnomy Brothers crew. And its a bit unexpected for them. 2 tracks, both of which have the chunkiness you would expect from them, but a lil bit slower as well as happier! Not so much on the super dark tip like their more recent works and recordings. Still hot, though. Cant take that away from them.(FAT)MINIMAL HOUSE- 6/04/07-GE

BOND & BLOME

CONTROL YOUR SOUL (SENDER) 12  - 104663

GLIMMERS

FREEFORM ONE *GARTH* (DISKIMO) 12  - 104552

We haven't seen a production from Garth in quite some time and here Mr Grayhound delivers a Wicked (pun intended) mix of the Glimmers "Ape Or Not", we'll come to this in a second. The Glimmers "Freeform One" is a massive disco kissed rugged house number with loads of funky guitar, tripped out 80's funk action and a twisted vibe reminiscent of Chicken Lips. Now back to the Garth, his mix is as we punned before, wicked. It features metallic cracking snares and a dub meets breaks vibe that is pure west coast drug crazed party shit. One for the Wicked for sure.(DISKO6005)HOUSE- 6/04/07-BE

NICOLE OTERO

SUNSHINE SONG *JJK/ARNO COST* (CR2) 12  - 104603

Second set of UK-only remixes of Nicole's WMC anthem 'Sunshine Song', with John Julius Knight and Arno Cost delivering a pair of mixes each. Cost's first mix is a pumping electro house re-rub that smartly uses the original's female vocal hook to the best of its ability, over revamped synth lines, tricky, subtle effects, pumping electronic beats and a roof-raising buildup. Think Dave Spoon meets Mark Knight. The deeper house heads will love John Julius Knight's vocal and dub contributions, ideal for those more soulful floors.(12C2X026)ELECTRO HOUSE- 6/02/07-UK

PINKNOISE

RADICAL SPECS *L MORTIMER* (FEAR OF FLYIN LTD) 12  - 104702

Wicked 3 track offering on Fear Of Flying's new Limited offshoot featuring some special remix talent brought in jyst for the occassion, namely Highgrade's Tom Clark and Dotbleep/Wearhouse man Lee Mortimer! The original version of 'Radical Specs' sounds like Morgan Geist dunked in a vat of Skandi-disko, whilst Mortimer's remix is a full-on twisted house throwdown that fans of Dotbleep/Trevor Loveys etc will go nuts for. Tom Clark's mix is a playfully minimal retouching that will work nicely on the cooler floors out there.(FOFLTD001)TECH HOUSE- 6/11/07-GE

FATBACK BAND

FEEL THE FIRE *BAH SAMBA* (BKO) 12  - 103563

AUDIO SOUL PROJECT

COMMUNITY *PEACE DIVISION* (NRK) 12  - 103919

NRK recently revived this classic Mazi tune with remixes from Fish Go Deep, here they enlist Peace Division to give this track an update and the result is nothing short of genius. Their mix is incredibly deep, funky and quite soulful with the kind of beats that swing so much you just can't sit still to them. On the flip Mazi himself provides a redux that fits into the soulful electronic sound of recent Ame, Chandler, Ferrer releases. COOL!(NRK128R)HOUSE- 6/04/07-UK

TAMARAS WORLD

TRAMPOLINE *GERVAIS/AKABU* (ZEDD) 12  - 104588

Next up to be released on Z Records is a remix package of the classic Tamara's World track 'Trampoline'. The original continues to excite major demand and this remix package can only keep the track ever hot. The main remix comes from man ofof the moment Cedric Gervais who turns the track into a twisting meltdown of peak-time craziness Cedric has turned up the remix heat recently most notably on his re-works of Seamus Haji's 'Last Night A DJ Saved My Life' and 'Give Me Love' by Alcatraz. On the flip, JOEY NEGRO provides the remix from the original release taking the vocal on trip into a dark and seedy after-hours joint with devastating effect. Joey then don's the AKABU guise and turns the track into a more minimal spaced out trippy affair.(JUMP091)HOUSE- 6/11/07-UK

BENJAMINZ

FREAK THEY MINDZ EP (GOOSEHOUND) 12  - 104654

If youve spent some time in Berlin or New York with Ben Parris, you more than likely hung with his boy who coincidentally is named Benji. 2 crazy bastards who not only know how to party, but also make some crazy techno as well. This is their first release together and I'm sure we can expect plenty more from these 2 minimal techno monsters.(GOOSE05)MINIMAL TECHNO- 6/04/07-GE

MARCOERRE

ROOM (NUMMER) 12  - 104660

NY LON

WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE *LIFELIK (EYEZCREAM) 12  - 104673

NY Lon is the combination of talent from New York (Davidson Ospina) and London (Lewis Dene). The result is an epic vocal number with deep electronic roots. Katie Smith provides a riveting vocal on this and the track gets reworked by some heavy hitters including Defected's man of the moment Lifelike, Dj Dlg and Asle Bjorn. Lifelike's mix is an epic deep italo disco influenced number very much along the lines of his "Discopolis" hit with more of an 80's flair. Dj Dlg provides two mixes, more pumping and really working the strings to give the track a deep emotional appeal. Bjorn Asle's mix is pure rocking electro house funk with jacking beats, aggressive synth riffs and relentless energy. Getting heavy support from Kurd Maverick, Dj Dan and Fuzzy Hair.(ECR017)ELECTRO HOUSE- 6/11/07-FR

MARGARET DYGAS

DAY AFTER (CONTEXTERRIOR) 12  - 104697

Polish born, UK-based Margaret Dygas makes the leap from respected DJ to producer with this wicked 3 tracker on Jay Haze's Contexterrior label. The lead track 'His Name Is Ken' is a quirky reduced house workout that sounds like Someone Else from an evil parallel universe! 'Day After' is a warm micro-techno groover while 'No Now' finishes with a sleek dubbed-out finish that fans of Luciano/Villalobos will certainly enjoy.(CNTX018)MINIMAL TECHNO- 6/11/07-GE

CHRIS BARRATT

COLOURS EP (JESUS LOVED YOU) 12  - 104706

Englishman Chris Barratt delivers a pair of electro-infused techno rollers for Jesus Loved You that sounds like the ideal cross between Pascal FEOS and Valentino Kanzyani.

SOMMERSAUSE (KARTON) 12  - 104707

Thomas Heckmann and Andreas Kauffelt deliver an electro-drenched floor-rocker entitled 'Sommersause' that's already causing MAJOR damage in the hands of the world's top jocks.

WHITMEY NA  *GEIGER/NASS* (KINDISCH) 12  - 104769

Kindisch first expolded onto the scene with Jay Haze's now classic "Soul in a Bottle" and havent let up since! And, if you werent aware, they are the child label of GET PHYSICAL. This release is now the 7th release, and quite possibly the best one yet! The original is an almost beatless tune with a dreamy deep vocal. To remix it, the crew got Geiger (aka Nass) to do an absolutely GORGEOUS late night pure techno classic! The way the vocals are used on his mix are incredible. Sounds like he was going for an old FINGERS/OWENS kind of feel. DEEEEP pads and shimmering ride cymbals make this one magical in the late hours, and also great for open air. And, just in case you arent feeling the vocal, they kindly provided an instrumental of the Geiger remix as well.(KINDISCH07)HOUSE- 6/11/07-GE

If you were a fan of Golden Boy & Miss Kitten's "Rippin Kitten" you will love this ultra hip number from Headphone Karaoke. "Last Night A Dealer Saved My Life" has a similarly haunting vibe with a sultry and twisted vocal part. It comes in two fabulous mixes. The first sounds like, well a lot like "Rippin Kitten" with a similarly moody, melancholic and funky vibe. Plastique De Reve gets freaky on the mix on the flip adding a rocking acid edge to the track that is pure Adonis / Trax (well more like the acid mix of Sterling Void's "It's All Right" on Dj International but whatever right?).(BRD001)HOUSE- 6/04/07-FR

CONFUSION *POOKS/MONTECO* (KILL BRIQUE) 12  - 104629

Here on Kill Brique he drops another filth powered house bomb that will certainly please those same peeps that bought his last number will flip for. It has dissonant and quite funky synths that build into a twisted frenzy along with a dirty vocal hook that is perfectly set for the synths shouting "Confusion".
