Adis Hotic, better known to the Underground Electronic Music world as Duky, has been in the forefront of cutting edge, timeless, innovative, daring productions, and this release appropriately entitled It's Getting Real' is no different.

It's no secret that Duky draws inspiration from other popular genres and effectively fuses them seamlessly into his music, resulting in something that can can best be described as deep, groovy, Minimal/House with a chunky Hip-Hop twist.

Starting on the A-side, this release begins a journey into human emotion and psyche, a journey that starts exploring a feeling of Reflection and Nostalgia with the originals It's Getting Real' & Endless Thoughts', Both showcasing a mesmeric melodic arrangement, which layers eclectic pads in perfect harmony with the groove structure of each of the original printed on this side. Add the use of a sultry vocal sample as showcased in It's Getting Real', the use of some exquisite organic Jazz instrumentation in Endless Thoughts' and that ever effective deep thick syncopated bass line, further contributing to the Nostalgic vibe....

On the flip side, Duky continues this journey into the exploration of the feelings of realization, acceptance & joy with the originals 4 Da Soul' & From The Beginning'. Both continue to showcase a flawlessly executed fusion of organic elements of Motown, Soul, Jazz and Hip-Hop in such ways resulting in two deep, chunky and groovy productions. A sense of joy and acceptance is explored in 4 Da Soul', when the sultry Motown vocals and a chunky 'four to the floor' beat hits syncopated ever so delicately with a warm round pluck bass line driving the composition through from start to finish, while sense of realization and acceptance, gets conveyed and further explored with From The Beginning', a smooth Hip-Hop instrumental, bringing this journey a befitting culmination.

A very Special release that promises to have you discovering something new each time you play or hear it.

Limited copies, vinyl only. Portugal's Helena label continues its run of deep-ocean expeditions with the latest release from Dutch producer Aleks.

QUIET DAZE is the softest cut, synth washes and dubbed out voices suspended over an all-enveloping bass pulse.

Choppy electro beats form the backbone for MOST U P as metallic notes and percussive hits spin off into the stereo field.

Beatdown is the name of the game on the flip, as PLUS and VIOLENT/MIND GAMES both ride a 4/4 thud under trip-inducing hats and dubby textures. Aleks' music is mirrored in detail by the beautiful sleeve art - this EP is the full package.

The second record of Athens based Equivalence Records comes from the label's co-owner and overall man of the hour, Kreon. Following in the steps of the first release, which has already been played by Ricardo Villalobos in Fabric, 002 features two stripped down stompers, emanating analog warmth and hiss, while holding the groove and mystery throughout. Groovy, low key, sub dub - perfect for those low ceiling places in the late early hours. Early support by the usual suspects.

Label mainstay Seb Zito provides the 'Ragg On EP' on the ever growing Fuse label. 'Run Along', the eps' vinyl only track is a superbly quirky roller and shows a side of the artist we've yet to see with a melancholic and thoughtful streak imbuing proceedings. 'Raggs' is a stripped back roller, flecks of affected vocals poke through giving the track a tripped out feel.
'Those People' round things off nicely, with it's chunky beats and skippy percussion bringing to mind the more classic side of Tech House from years gone by.

Leftback present their 4th release of the year by welcoming original material from OCH, Kashawar & Matt Star alongside a new collaborative track from label owners Michael McLardy & Dudley Strangeways.

Doublet is the production moniker of friends and musical partners Tomoki Tamura and Tuccillo, previously releasing together on other labels, they have come together to form the new eponymously named Doublet imprint as a channel for their own music. Tomoki and his Holic Trax label have long been serving up solid house music whilst Tuccillo has conjured up numerous Beatport chart toppers on labels like 2020Vision, Visionquest and Holic Trax. Here their unique style brings you back from classic house music to future minimalism and is sure to fill you with joy. Up first is the title track, a charming house shuffler with woozy synths, light footed percussion and skipping rhythms that give an off kilter and deep dancefloor vibe. 'Brother Other' is a slightly more physical affair with lumpy beats, tense synth crescendos and stiff snares that really encourage you to shake your limbs. Lastly, 'Buri Planet' is a deep and sensual number with clever vocals samples adding an element of pained soul, rubbery bass bringing warmth and golden synths and acid squelches building yet more character. This is accomplished, alive sounding house music that really does sound fresh. Doublet, then, is already off to a winning start. Vinyl Only.
