: Natural Rhythm
OverNighter EP – Guesthouse
Music – US
Break out the birthday cake and candles, Guesthouse Music turns 20 this Month! The SF-Based juggernaut of a label continues to plow ahead, barely taking a breath in between amazing releases, consistently knocking them out of the park with consistent dance floor bangers. The 20th Release, Natural Rhythms “Over Nighter EP” is no exception to that rule, and the fans of the new school sound will be scrambling to get this record on the decks and out onto the sound systems big and small alike. With a little something for everyone, this four-tracker is yet another shining example of label boss Dj Mes's A&R prowess and Natural Rhythm's consistent and unrivaled talent in the studio. Fans of Thomas and Pete’s work will be happy to see them reunited on this record, jackin things up on the A-side with “Saturdays” and “Wrap it up” and rocking it a little smoother on the B-Side with a kick ass vocal cut; “So Bad”. Rounding out the release is the Santino mix of “Vinyl Roots” as the B2. Receiving support from all the heavy hitters, Guesthouse has established itself as one of THE most important labels in the new school sound. Here’s to another 20 records!

: Blakkat
Job Satisfaction(The Remixes) –
Tango Recordings – US
Blakkat’s “Job Satisfaction” originally came out on Tango in 2003, here we get a couple lovely remixes courtesy of Phil Weeks and Dj Buck. Phil’s remix is the standout for us, a funky reworking with dope bass, crowd noises, and of course that super catchy “Hit it from the front, Hit it from the back” vocal throughout. KILLER stuff, our favorite Phil Weeks cut in quite a while. On the flip Dj Bucks turns in a deep and druggy West Coast rendition that will definitely please fans of Doc Martin or Mid 90’s Wicked party grooves. Superb remix package from The Tango Crew.

DAE018
: Schmoov
Flash it Out EP – DAE Recordings
– US
Schmoov! is a group we really shouldn't even need to be telling you about, but here goes. They've got two releases on the seminal Paper Recordings, numerous releases on Nottingham's DiY Discs, and a number of classic remixes. If that's not enough, they're the guys behind Winding Road, one of the hottest deep house labels of the moment. This EP is perfect for any time, but we know that summertime is the right time, so get ready! First up is A1, Hot Flash. It starts off swingin'(literally) and comes hard with a nice walking bassline. Then come the chords and a killer sax riff that really blow it up. Deepness that rocks. Next up is Exchanges, a mid-tempo house number that just keeps coming. Built around a repeating vocal, this one will absolutely get things going when that analog bassline drops, and the massive build-up will really take it to the next level. A guaranteed mover. Flip this bad boy over for The Swirl:, a track that picks it back up and knocks it home. Lush keys, great percussion, and a lovely vocal sample: all the elements you need for a classic deep house jam. Last but certainly not least is Manuel Tur's take on The Swirl. Manuel has been seriously blowing up over the last two years with releases for labels such as Agave, So Sound, and recently the presitigious Freerange. He adds his unique touch to this track, keepin' it deep but giving it a jazzier feel with an additional key riff that builds very nicely. A quality remix that will work it out for sure.

HUDD012
: Dirty Kicks
Bang the Light EP – Hudd Traxx –
US
JT Donaldson returns to his Dirty Kicks moniker with a wicked three tracker for Hudd Traxx. The title track "Bang The Lights" (which features frequent JT collaborator Cpen) brings some serious heat with its tech-tinged bass, fantastic chords, and great drum programming and is bound to be in the bags of all the biggest jocks. Flip it over for "Intimate Friends," a deeper cut with some great keys that would be perfect to play during a closing set. Rounding out the EP is "Spaced Out," a deep electro groover. Another winner for the excellent JT / Hudd Traxx combo.

DMG002
: The Midnight Circus
The House and Garage EP –
Damaged Goods – UK
Quality combo of House and Garage here from this UK Imprint. The
first 2 cuts on the A side are proper Vocal Garage cuts with massive dancefloor
energy and a lot of cross genre appeal. Flip the wax over and you have the
remixes from House Music mogul Joey Youngman and new comer Speed Jesus. The JY
remix is the pick out of the lot with a killer vibe and a rolling bassline.
Kick in the vocals from the original and you have an absolute beauty of a track
that’ll surely be stuck in your head. Speed Jesus turns in a cool take on
“Life”. With chunky beats, moody synths and a sweet little analog bassline, this
final remix rounds out the whole EP nicely.

AGAVE0719
: Jazzy Eyewear vs Toka Project
All Spun Up - Agave – US
Jazzy Eyewear residing in the sunshine state has brought his attention to you through the potent So Sound label of which he devised some time back. He now makes his debut here on Agave with a potent three tracker with the help of his friends across the pond, To-Ka Project. The long side reflects the initial spark to this project for Agave’s A&R with the Spinning original. It’s simplistic rhythm and mono bass stabbing are the foundation of which this puncher is built. Subtle vocal riffs and clever edits roll through the entire track giving the floor many tidbits to shake to. The UK’s To-Ka Project takes command of the B1 with a jazzy edit of the Spinning title. Swinging bassline and shaker rhythm make this outside cut a real gem for the flip. It was a real toss up for team Agave as to where to place this remix as it truly works on either side. Jazzy makes his return on the inside for a new track all together. Temperature rising is a chilled out ringer with a delicate male vocal not heard too often. It calls out leaving the loop stuck in one’s ear for much time to come.

B1: SPINNING ‘TOKA’S ROUND N ROUND REMIX”

: Kelvin K
Blacklights and Bonfires EP –
Nordic Trax – CA
Luke McKeehan's top record label Nordic Trax releases this lush deep house bomb as their 50th. Kelvin K is well known for been at the top of the deep house game and this four tracker proves that. Each cut is quality but the A1 and B2 need special attention. Deep lazy bass and bumping grooves have fired this piece of wax into many top jocks bags. Dont sleep on this release.

: Slum Science
Strikes EP – Goodfamily
Recordings – US
Great EP from Hudd Traxx label owners Slum Science, this time on San Fran’s own Good Family."Right Up My Street" on A1, is indeed just that - tight percussion and a sweet rhodes riffs galore. "Strikes" on A2 features a short disco-guitar loop, heavy bass, and a definite Chicago sort of feeling. Flip over for "Taking It Back" on B1, another dance floor friendly track with cool piano and vocal samples. Last but not least on B2 we have Jason Hodges taking up the remix duty of "Taking It Back" which delivers exactly what's expected: tight drum programing, filtered vocal bits, and loads of dancefloor appeal

Bob Sinclar himself puts the finishing touches on this fat new remix
of "Rock This Party", a completely fresh new reworking that goes

Tiga once again does an amazing A&R job for his Turbo label with
the addition of Duke Dumont to the roster. The lead track 'When I Hear Music'
is a cheeky electro house weapon that samples Debbie Deb's 80's freestyle
classic 'When I Hear Music', freaking it out right off the Richter scale with
an array of spannered synth sounds, crazed edits and punchy Rekids-style beats.
More tuff bounce to the ounce over on the flip, courtesy of 'Lean & Bounce'

CREAM (CR2) 12 - 105658
Franchi's electro house weapon 'Cream' is already causing mass
hysteria on the Ibizan dancefloors this summer as well as in the hands of
everyone from Tiga to Pete Tong. Built around a chugging, bass-heavy groove
that gets you instantly addicted and a filtered zipper-synth riff that keeps
you on the hook and shaking yer hips like mad. The label seems to think that
they've got the next Fedde Le Grande on their hands with this one and we might
very well agree with 'em!(12C2062)ELECTRO HOUSE- 7/23/07-UK
RYALLO DJS FT

joint.(SPEAKER001)HOUSE- 7/23/07-UK
RADIO SLAVE
SCREAMING HANDS *WINK/VITELLI*
(REKIDS) 12 - 105721
This one is a long time coming, folks. Already been played by every
big name known to man (Hawtin, Garnier, Holden, Coleman, Lawler, etc), the Wink
remix of Radio Slave's "Screaming Hands" sees the light of day! If
you arent already on board, the track is a monster! The original appeared on
the "No Sleep" 12"s from late last year, and was huge. Wink's
version is even a higher calibre than we are used to out of him, meaning he
outdoes himself! A slow builder with losts of twists and turns and exploding FX
bursts all around. It's the kind of record that even if someone just started
DJing like yesterday, it would still annihilate the dancefloor. Flip it over
for Vitelli's remix and you have a deeper neo-trance version. Nice and bubbly,
with some deeper synths going on. Also contains a little
"Screamapella" with the feedback noise that makes up the prominant
part of the track all by itself.(REKIDS016)ELECTRO HOUSE- 7/23/07-UK

JUSTICE
DANCE *MSTRKRFT/BRAXE* (ED
BANGERS / BECAU) 12 - 105744
The Alan Braxe remix of Justices dance smash gets it right every
step of the way. His mix is a devistating reworking that takes all the
infectious energy of the original and loops the fuck out of the synths working
them into an uplifting hands in the air affair with Prince styled drum work and
a healthy dose of twisted pitching and filtering effects. MSTRKRFT also provide
a remix on this plate along with a live mix and a remix from
Jackson.(BEC5772130)NU RAVE- 7/23/07-FR
CHEMICAL BROTHERS
A MODERN MIDNIGHT *DAFT MIX*

TLB Jr gets lovingly remixed here with tunes reworked from his
recent 'Karambolage' album by luminaries Swayzak, Eddie Richards and Terry
himself. Leading off is the Swayzak mix, a gorgeously warm, dubbed out journey
into minimal house with subversive sounds and crisp reduced beats. Eddie
Richards' mix uses a funkier stutter-synth riff and re-strapped bassline while
TLB's version has a nice female vocal snippet, drowsy sounds and crisp rolling
techwise beats.(PLAX056)TECH HOUSE- 7/23/07-GE

minimal shuffling beats and pulsing synth action.(AZNY249)HOUSE- 7/23/07-UK

Rockstar and now comes with their biggest new choon yet. 'Boogie Down' is a
serious bleep and vocoder-filled electro house throwdown with a robotic 'shake
your body' hook and fluttering top end synth bleep action over a jacking
groove. Remixers Fedde Le Grande and Dj Delicious each lay down a tearing
re-lick that is bigger and better than the next.(TIGER42)ELECTRO HOUSE-

Shocking Pinks are from New Zealand and revolve around the very
talented Nick Harte, who came to the DFA's attention back in 2003 and now
directly leads to the release of 'Smokescreen' here on DFA with a brilliant
remix by The Glimmers. The original is a twisted percussive nu disco track with
rattling non-quantised conga patterns, whispered vox and tough midtempo kicks.
The Glimmers deliver a stomping re-edit that sounds like a cross between a
Talking Heads bassline and Danny Wang keyboards, a twisted space disco groover

Originally out in limited quantities on the We-Ze imprint, Craig
Loftis' (Aka Grand High Priest) incredible vocal house track "Mary
Mary" featuring legendary Dajae on vocals gets a full release via the
Endulge imprint out of the UK. Craig's mix is a superb soulful deep Chicago
house number with great percussion, haunting touches of organ riffs, a pulsing
synth stab and Dajae's incredible vocals riding over the top. Terry Hunter and

(HARTCHEF) 12 - 105665
Easily one of the hippest house imprints to come through the ranks
recently, Hartchef Discos returns with another rocking various artist ep.
Morris Audio Citysport / Frankie regular Tom Ellis is first up with
"Harness" a swinging slice of deep soulful tech funk sounding like a
mixture of old school Classic / Derrick Carter gear mixed up with the more
soulful side of minimal house. Next up Hugo (Tongut/Floppy Funk) drops a wicked
Mossa / Ark styled chunky cut and paste cut with wild samples strung together
into a collage of moving grooves, soulful interludes and Akufen like funk.
Moritz Piske (Opossum) turns in a hot Mos Ferry styled production that fans of
Dapayk will freak for and rounding off the ep is label head honcho HR Schneider
with "Wackbock" a track that laces plenty of retro disco samples
together to create a firing dancefloor burner. More bang for your buck on this
ep, MORE PLEASE!(HCF11)HOUSE- 7/23/07-GE

Heres a welcome repress! The good folks at Artless went and busted
out an old highlight from the Rene et Gaston archives. You might recall one of
the sides from Kevin Sauderson's "Transmissions From Deep Space"
X-mix from K7. This track wasnt very widely released back then so repressing it
was MORE than a good idea! It almost sounds better today than it did then! On
the flip, another familliar Rene et Gaston tune, though I cannot quite place
it's origin. But its a classic example of just how hot these guys can get/have
been.(ARTLES2198)HOUSE- 7/23/07-GE

OM Records' Mark Grant re-ignites the ex NYC Suburban imprint with
this soulful vocal joint which features Russoul delivering a performance which
sounds a lot like Stevie Wonder over a classy deep house groove. Mark's
"Soul Bounce" mix has a deeper more underground vibe with a heavier
analog bass groove and swinging beats. Franck Roger collaborater and Purple
Music regular Yass provides a remix, taking a slightly darker route that fans

Searing electro/club house mixes by Christian Fischer of Roger
'Wildchild' MacKenzie's seminal 'Bring It Down' tune, originally released on
Loaded back in 1995 as part of Wildchild's 'Wildtrax' series. The original's
punchy beats and sampled attitude get used perfectly by Fischer on the a-side,
working in a grungy electro b-line, sampled vocal drops and HUGE thumping
beats. Fischer's flipside remix is a speaker shaking dub version that sounds
like Kurd Maverick on steroids. Wicked!(LOAD123)ELECTRO HOUSE- 7/19/07-UK

has a drum heavy tribal hypnotic vibe reminiscent of early Tenaglia material,
druggy, deep and quite twisted with great touches of melodic synths and one of
those rocking tribal grooves you can listen and dance your ass of for hours to.
On the flip is the funkier "Ui" based around a killer bassline that
constantly morphs just a touch to keep this track moving along with shuffling
beats, freaky wobbling pads and a Jaydee "Plastic Dreams" kind of

brooding slice of deep soulful house with a hypnotic underwater vibe, bouncey
analog bassline and sweet shuffling beats. This reminds us a lot of early Aqua
Bassino material on F Communications. On the flip "Lobata" is a similarly
styled deep soulful house number with more energetic beats. Buzzin Fly's Ben

Kat returns with DJ only ZE edits of two tracks from the infuential
label that fused the parallel NYC dance and punk scenes to create a new sound
that they aptly christened Mutant Disco. Kid Creole and Material are the
artists getting the once over from DJ Greg Wilson, the oracle on this vital and
misunderstood period in music. No one can argue that Mr Wilson is the perfect
man for the job. Having already paid Credit to the Edit, Greg Wilson tastefully
reconstructs Kid Creole and the Coconuts' 1981 hit 'I'm a Wonderful Thing,
Baby'. Emphasising the driving piano and mid-tempo beats, 'Wonderful' is in
safe hands with Greg Wilson in control. Impossible not to move to this! On the
flip we find Material's 'Over and Over' being edited by Greg, putting the funk
into jazz-funk. Material were an early Bill Laswell project that delved deep
into dancefloor-orientated jazz.(KAT03)EDIT- 7/23/07-UK

riddled with rolling delay lines, spacey keyboard sounds and driving 4/4 beats,
sounding like Rob pulled out nearly every production trick in his arsenal in
order to ensure that this track kicks ass. And it does!! The flip introduces
you to 'Tarja's Dream', the polar opposite to the a-side with a warm, dub house
approach that sounds like a drowsy Terry Lee Brown, Jr
workout.(SYST0093)MINIMAL HOUSE- 7/23/07-GE

ASA BRANCA in it's original form features David Byrne on vocals and
sounds like it would sit nicely on the soundtrack to Brother Where Art Thou,
very cool folk meets country gear. Fear not dance lovers as Dublex Inc comes in

Mr French and here the duo drop the hot fire with this four track ep of unique
boogie funk injected spaced out house for Still Music. Already championed by
Gilles Peterson, the title cut "Comeandgetme" has a wicked Amp

R&B meets broken sensibilities with chopped up vocal samples and tons of

CLIC
NR 1 EP (KRITIK) 12 - 105695
Something for everyone on this Kritik record, which doesnt really
follow their usual nonsensical stylings. This one starts with a Bodzin/Huntemann-esque
jammy jam. NExt, we have a crunchy and rather direct techno number with a
buried vocal underneath that almost sounds like Kate Bush or something, but
it's barely noticeable making it a bit more mysterious. finally, it closes out
with a minimal groover thats all bassline, baby!(KRITIK007)MINIMAL HOUSE-

All around kick ass 12" here. Luciano Pizzellas original on
here is a ultra-dubby/synthy swarmer of a tech house track primed for early
hours. Georg Neufelds remix is a tech house thumper with plenty of sweet
bassline swirls abound. Volker Selzner gets deeper and techy adding a bit more
form to the original, while Max Cavalerra stays in the same territory but gets
a bit more melodic. All around nice package from some relatively unknown
artists.(BROQUE08)MINIMAL TECHNO- 7/23/07-GE

Jamal Moss aka Hieroglyphic Being produces some of the dirtiest and
nastiest mental jack techno known to man or beast. This time around, he's
lightened things up a bit and made some deeper more atmospheric techno for the
Apnea label. The closest things we can think of are maybe crossing the deeper
house side of Larry Heard with the mental side of James T Cotton, which I guess
was also influnced by Mr Heard as well. Either way, youre getting some quality

park, naturally. So, upon release of said 12", the Isolee goes on the
A-side! Why? Because is fucking incredible, thats why! CLASSIC Isolee here.
Groovy and nervous and never all that revealing as to where th song is actually
headed. When the quick vocal part comes in, it's as suprising as it is wicked!
But, I dont mean to discredit the original. Which is a rocker in its own right.
Bassline more dominant and the drums are a bit heavier. I could see Stacy

absolutely get things going when that analog bassline drops and a massive build
up will really take it to the next level. Flip for "The Swirl", that
picks it back up and knocks it home. Lush keys, great percussion and a lovely
