Local Talk is proud to present yet another new and exciting producer John Mood. The title track on his debut takes us back to New Jersey where our buddy Fulbert jams together with Kerry Chandler, building a track based around a tight groove made up of a luscious chords, a deep baseline and a tight rhythm cutting.
Dial #903 starts off with deep chords and a smooth bassline but don't let that fool you! The track shifts and turns into something you'd find on an early Underground Resistance release, moving and shifting with a heavy flow. Finally, the Kontra Remix of A Basement Romance keeps the original tracks identity intact and skilfully churns out a pure dancfYloor monster using parts of the original to create a powerful track from start to finish.

NEW MCDE alert! Awesome gospel inspired 4 Track House 12" from THE brother from another...Motor City! TIP!
the label say " It was in 2011 when Danilo Plessow aka Motor City Drum Ensemble released his DJ-Kicks compilation to a stoked crowd, showing an unusual amount of wisdom for a producer that young. Now, he returns to his best-known moniker - having been on hold since that exciting remix for Midland's "What We Know" in early 2012 - with another reboot of sorts: choosing his own MCDE imprint as stage for the new record, Danilo directly confronts the legacy of his insanely loved "Raw Cuts" that brought the bounce back to Deep House, injecting a blueprint grown stale with much-needed emotions and rejuvenating DJ crates worldwide.

It is surprising, then, that the latest entry in the series is only the tenth release in a discography seemingly consisting only of classics, but as MCDE's A&R, Danilo & his partner Pablo Valentino (FACES Records / Creative Swing Alliance) intentionally kept the young label's artist roster small, focussing on quality output instead and giving the sound room to breathe.

While there are plenty of successful House templates floating around, none defined its roots in sampling as thoroughly as MCDE & Raw Cuts did, and it's happening again with these four impressive workouts condensing all we love about the genre, resulting in a show-stopping record sure to set even the most distinguished floors on fire. 2013 should consider itself a lucky year, because Motor City Drum Ensemble is back in the producer's seat and that's a very good thing."

Deep4life brought a breath of fresh air to house music in the late 90´s. A handful of really good synthetic and timeless house music releases made it a cult label. Now the owner, Chris Gray and one of the leading figures, DaRand Land, meet to do it again. They give us a delicious LP with large amounts of deep moods; Atmospheric and emotional house music (but not only) with synthesizer lines, synthetic basses, voices and breathing sequences. Chris and DaRand are a winning combination. No doubt.

INFO :: DON RODRIGO's LAST SUPPER
: INGREDIENTS
4 skinless boneless chicken fillets
200 ml chicken stock
100 ml sherry medium dry
150 ml olive oil
50 ml chicken stock
1/2 slice white bread
5 tbsp almonds, peeled
4 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
3 tbsp olive oil
clove of young garlic
cayenne pepper
salt
:: METHOD
Preheat the oven with an oven-proof casserole to 80°. Rinse
off the chicken fillets with cold water and pat dry. Season the
chicken with salt and cayenne pepper. Heat the oil in a pan
and fry the chicken fillets in it 4 to 5 minutes. Then give the
chicken in the casserole and cook it in the hot oven about 30
minutes at the middle level.

Peel the garlic and fry it golden brown with almonds and
bread in the remaining frying fat. Then gibe it in a mortar.

Pour the gravy with sherry and stock and reduce the sauce.
Sit in the almond miture and let the sauce cook for about 2
minutes gently.

Toss the chicken fillets in the sauce, place on a plate and
garnish with parsley.

Good with rice and salad.

We recommend a charming green veltliner from 2010 from
Kamptal in Austria of the Laurents V. winery. The wine
exudes a fragrant bouquet of red apple, behind ripe peach,
white pepper, mango and rhubarb.
Bon appétit

After the success of their debut album 'Mind Over Matter' released on Crosstown Rebels earlier this year, Venezuelan duo Fur Coat return with 'Fall's Away'; one of the biggest cuts from the album which features the lush vocals of Mel Blatt and a killer pair of remixes from DJ Sneak and Just Be.
Deep warm pads, filtered toms and vocal chops open things up on the original version of Fall's Away and after the introduction of a groove inflected kick and bass combo it becomes apparent that this one is going to be taking complete control of the dance floor. This notion is accentuated even more once Blatt's soulful contribution enters the foray with its lyrical and vocal excellence.
On somewhat of a resurgence at present, house legend DJ Sneak does what he has done for the last 20 years and delivers a slice of up front house music straight out of the Chi-town text book. Fat kicks, swinging highs and a deep and driving low end are all in attendance, whilst vocal stabs and swirling samples lead to several hypnotizing climaxes. Clubbers beware: this one is relentless.
Just Be aka Bushwacka steps up for the final remix offering and stays closer to the original whilst bringing an otherworldly vibe to the party, with eerie synth melodies and cosmic sweeps taking centre stage. An infectious builder, the track picks up some serious steam throughout and is sure to have dance floors shifting by the end.

Going Good Records are proud to present their debut vinyl release the "Entropic Feelings EP", A dusted 6 track EP of analogue DIY House jams recorded deep in Atlanta GA by the mysterious Moon B, A bonafide hardware freak & $1 bin record digger par excellence. Moon has privately released 1 cassette album previously full of more grainy, Lo-Fi goodness which will see a vinyl release before the end of this year courtesy of Washington DC's dope People's Potential Unlimited label (PPU). Sometimes Moon's music makes you want to get on the floor & slam-dance, lost in the fog & strobes while other times it sounds like your box is chewing up your tape mid trip while keeping the beat. Both outcomes we find extremely rewarding but we'll let you judge for yourself.

Steadfast is proud to present a collaborative project made up of Speedy J and Brendon Moeller. Neither of these artists need introduction. Their contribution to electronic music and club culture is well documented.
These 4 tracks are the result of jam sessions in Speedy J's Rotterdam studio in May 2012. Inspired by their love of Krautrock and Techno, these tracks possess a spaced out psychedelic and experimental vibe but also maintain grooves that will adequately keep a dancefloor throbbing. Music to immerse oneself in. Enjoy!

Moving into 2013, the Hot Creations camp shows no sign of slowing down with one of their biggest releases to date from the mighty production duo Benoit & Sergio. Debut release on the label 'Bridge So Far' is an utterly stunning two tracker oozing distinctive style and pop sensibility.
A-side and title track 'Bride So Far' has Benoit & Sergio written all over it with wonderfully layered synth keys and electro melody. The beautiful vocals soon enter the equation radiating a sense of power and emotion as they flow throughout and capture the heart.
On the flip '$100 BILL' gets deeper with a chugging groove and prominent claps progressing into a alluring vocal hook, destined to swarm the mind and seduce the senses as a funk infused melody begins to lock you on the dance floor.
Riding a wave of success since their first release in 2009 on boutique label thesongsays, Benoit & Sergio have since had huge releases on the likes of Visionquest, DFA and Spectral Sound. This release sees the delightful duo at their absolute best and is a welcome addition to the Hot Creations catalogue.

talent gifted producer Kai von Glasow. You might know him from his past releases on Terpsiton or Mild Pitch. The Solid Roots EP features three deep
and diverse tracks including the interpretation of Solid Angle by the Moscow's hero Anton Zap. Play it loud!

Lost Paradise delivers a modern execution of our post-disco dance music culture, maintaining references to the past and looking for the oasis on the horizon. Lost Paradise #2 features two originals from Space Coast, AKA Sleazy McQueen and Jorge Collazo. Vibe A.M.is deep and dreamy with live flute and piano, emotive melodies and groovy bass. Social Disco Club and Last Waltz turn in two completely different mixes, both fit for the late or early hours of the night. Can't Get Enough Sunshine is a melodic and cerebral ode to mid-nineties New York house but with a twist.

The first Renaissance 'Masters Series' of 2013 comes courtesy of DJ, producer and label owner Nick Warren. This is not only his first compilation for the clubbing institution since 2001 but his first full solo outing over two CDs.
The mix was a joy to do. It had been a while since I had done a downtempo mix for a compilation and with the success of my Soundgarden Radio show I thought the time was right for one again. CD1 is a mix of new and old, the ambient mixes are always a bit tougher to find all new material for, and tunes like the Bubble Club track were missed by a lot of people when it was released last year. CD2 sums up where I am as a DJ right now: a mixture of deep melodic house and techno plus a euphoric ending. All the producers really did a great job for me and the thanks as always goes to them' - Nick Warren, Nov 2012
Like all great mixes, it is ultimately far more rewarding to sit down and absorb the sounds than read about them. The nigh on 160 minutes of genuinely engrossing, eclectic music tells the sound of Nick Warren. There's no quick start guide for this: it involves commitment.
Nick has achieved much in dance music: playing across the planet as Massive Attack's tour DJ, era defining compilations for Renaissance, Global Underground and Back To Mine, timeless music and live shows as Way Out West and residencies at all of the key clubs; Ministry of Sound, Cream and of course Renaissance. In Nick's present he continues to play out across every continent, whilst also maintaining Hope Recording's high quality output. Driven by a continual desire for change, his sound is no better represented than by his bi-monthly radio show Soundgarden on Friskyradio, which attracts over 150,000 listeners to each broadcast.
2012 saw Renaissance celebrate their twentieth year of activity. They returned to Ibiza for a sterling season at Pacha, a series of special 20th Anniversary events in the UK, headed by Sasha and, towards the end of the year, John Digweed, and instigated a new series of high quality mix compilations; Tale of Us, Francois K and Slam are all lined up for releases in the first half of 20
Geoff Oakes of Renaissance said: 'We've tried many times over the years to do something with Nick and I'm really pleased it's finally happened. Nick's delivered a great album, which gives us the perfect start to 2013'.

After the success of Chubby Dubz Vol.1 in January 2012 closely followed by Vol.2 in May 2012, Chubby Dubz aka Oliver $ and Gene Siewing are back with the third instalment on loungin'.
After a chart topping year in 2011 where Oliver $'s - Doin' Ya Thang track on Jesse Rose's Play It Down label was No.1 charted track on Beatport 2011 plus was No.1 charted track of all time on Resident Advisor, we were over the moon when Gene & Oliver chose loungin' recordings as the home for the Chubby Dubz album project.
Chubby Dubz background and origins combine all manors of influences, as Oliver is native to Germany and Gene to the US. With this chemistry comes a fusion of minds that produces great house music with enough musical soul to have real longevity whilst still keeping the dance floors moving in the best clubs throughout the world. With releases on labels such as Om Records, Appeal Music and Undertones their unique style of house is enjoying great success throughout the world as all the major heads in house music are revelling in deep house currently. The result of this is that the music of Chubby Dubz is being widely championed by everyone from Ricardo Vilalobos, Baby Ford, DJ Rolando and Doc Martin to name a few.
