Robert Dietz returns to Running Back with old fashioned Frankfurt sounds techno soul leanings, Rhein-Neckar ambient, bold melody moves and Todd Terry rave house reminiscences. 4 tracks 4 hits 4 you 4 ever.

Poker Flat Recordings has long held a talismanic role within the house and techno underground -responsible for countless classic moments and pursuing a vision that propels the scene ever forward.




Here, Dutch DJ and producer Wouter de Moor continues this rich tradition, dropping an essential release for Steve Bug's ever-important imprint. The Lectures E.P features the words and wisdom of the ultimate DJ's DJ and king of the underground - Theo Parrish.

The vocal track is also provided as an accapella for DJ's looking to spice up their own sets or productions, while a pair of remixes come courtesy of scene stalwart Kirk Degiorgio. The Brit delivers a vocal and dub that hit hard- toughening up the groove and taking the track further in the realm of late night main room vibes.

Limited White Vinyl!

The 5th album of Boris Brejcha is coming with special 500 copies limited serialized white colored vinyl. Additionally the pakage contains 22 songs on a 4 GB USB stick with mp3's & wave files and a 8 pages booklet with infos about Boris Brejcha and his album

pril showers bring May flowers, but this April Claude VonStroke brings you "The Rain Break." Inspired by two different songs from the 80's - (Raze's classic 'Break For Love' and Oran Juice Jone's 'The Rain'), Claude has replayed and re-sung all the music from scratch to make a special cover tune of both tracks changed and combined into a surefire Dirtybird classic.
To quote VonStroke, 'I kept singing the Break For Love bassline over and over again in my head but the vocal that always popped in over the top was from the Oran Juice Jones. I cant explain why that happened but i just thought they went together so well that i ran with it.'
"Here Comes the B' is a much weirder affair. Built with massive psychedelic effects, a huge kick and almost no hi-hat pattern, this is late night cavemen music at its best.
This big release from CVS will have you wishing for a downpour so you can go Walking In The Rain.

The second of the UNTLD Protagonist Series, by Furz, savours the spirit of Alfred Tailor, an influential figure in the development of the bright young artist, whose first EP is strong and smooth, with raw energy, sultry and primal. The title track is remixed by Laurine Frost, who inspired by the South American hypnosis of the artist, takes it further, developing the dialogue and deepening the percussive structure, whilst maintaining the mystique and spirit of Alfred Tailor. The second original work on the record, entitled 'Torino Soul' is an ode to the automobile of Alfred Tailor, it opens serenely as if racing through the valleys of Cordoba's horizon, scenery rushing by on a hot day. Amidst this, the mechanical metal of the engine revolves in it place, as we are rushed forward, and the voice heard a memory both of the machine and the man, Alfred Tailor.

Idriss D's second installment in his Dib series on Memento comes with an original track backed by a remix from Spanish maestro Eduardo De La Calle. Titled Alger', it's a heartfelt dedication to the Algeria capital, a city that was a key factor in Idriss growing up and formative teenage years. The feeling and mood of his youth are the inspiration behind this superb piece of music, a diverse work touching on several levels of composition. The Original opens with a field recording intro followed shortly after by heavy bass shots and a pulsating kick drum. Snare patterns and an underwater synth melody hit the speakers with an abstract touch, while halfway through the pace changes with a new bass coming in. An experimental and brave track, it reflects Idriss' DJing style and his long sets, going into different mental spaces, a wavelike combination of beats and up&down rhythms. Eduardo De La Calle's trademark analog sounds fill his Tribute remix with acid keyboards, rim shot grooves, industrial noises and metallic vibes, swinging with a rolling bass line and bringing the original percussions to the fore.

Unclear Records' 10th release stands out as a landmark point for the Italian label: a tribute to the underground club Klang, it showcases some of the most acclaimed DJs who have graced the decks there, who came up with an exclusive track each for the compilation.
Big names such as Roman Flugel, whose Candy Crack is filled with trippy sinister sounds and piano chords, and Baby Ford, who gives us a special dark atmospheric mix of Satellite Stroll, are featured next to Heartthrob (his Whoever, Whatever's galloping bass line and acid synths brimming with freshness) and Okain (Livin Proof's funky mood and sax make it a total dance floor number). Oliver Deutschmann has produced a masterpiece of obsessive rhythm with his very own Rytmetika. Closing off in grand style, the Fratelli Perrone officially debut as a duo with La Stanza Magica, a stomping number with wonderfully playful beats and melodies.
During the summer of 2008, a group of friends who shared a passion for music gave life to a club that later on, unexpectedly, became an important platform for the growing revolution in modern Italian underground music.
Even in a little town situated in the middle Tuscany, every Friday within this space they captured the essence of dance floor music and hosted artists from all over the world.
As all stories have an end, this one concluded in 2013.
But, as with all good stories, this one does not intend to be forgotten.

The Untold Stories: Protagonist Series. Records dedicated to the stories of some venerable but unsung historical figures. The first of the Protagonist Series was created by Sil, and gives a glimpse into the spirit of the first such figure: Tadeush Konrad. Sil, the pseudonym of Kirill Sylantev, who is more widely known for his work in the duo Easy Changes, now begins solo productions. For the UNTLDPRO series his work dedicated to Tadeush Konrad is of confident vibe, with much swing and rich with soulful flashes from times past. This work is then remixed by Ztrl and Hubble. First comes the Ztrl remix, with energetic bass and a wealth of tones interrelating to great hypnotic effect. Then on the B-side Hubble's remix, an extended work, a floating journey of warm organic sounds, concludes the story and the spirit of Tadeush Konrad.

Billy Meier, the third record in The Untold Stories Protagonist EP Series, is by Suokas, and includes a remix by Alka Rex. The works stem from the remote town of Petrozavodsk in Russia, where the artist Suokas lives a life of diligent focus. The album is dedicated to Billy Meier whose extensive writings and transcriptions document his contact with extraterrestrial beings, largely from a civilisation called Plejaren located a fraction of a second shifted from our own dimension. His works are devoted to widening consciousness and challenge what we conventionally accept as true. Similarly inspired, Suokas says my music is about things that cannot be proven by conventional methods.

A glassy-eyed triptych of techno variations from Terriers. Check 'Aqua On My Mind'. Raw to the floor like Reservoir Dogs. Mastered by Helmut Erler at D&M, out on 12' only.

Thomas Lizzara´s debut album, dopamin puzzle, early supported and played by Alle Farben, Arts & Leni, Drauf & Dran, Niko Pusch and many more.
After many releases and remixes, Thomas Lizzara the Berlin based club phenomenon, launches his long-awaited debut album Dopamin Puzzle on Ostfunk Records. By gathering club tunes and emotional tracks, that were made together with the singer Steven Coulter, he created an acoustic mapping of nightlife joy. Thomas Lizzara delivers happiness to the people.

Bas Amro can be quite the chameleon as he has acquired a mastery over various sub genres of electronic music. Already a veteran of Wolfskuil Limited, Bas Amro returns for his sophomore EP on the label with 'Dissociation' which will be released on January 15. His sound is deep, profound and delicately crafted with the serious groove always residing in the underlying pulsating bass. 'Imposter Persona' opens the EP with a melancholic energy exuding from its pores as the jumpy baseline provokes fancy footwork on the dance floor. On the flip side 'Dissociation' unfolds gently, building slowly into a stride of quivering dub inspired chords, while the rhythmic pads of 'Defensive' on the other hand emanate vampy undertones which toy with the percussions of house track. All in all a contrastive energy from the Wolfskuil norm yet enthusiastically diversifying the label as a whole.

What more can be said about Carl Cox The term legend is thrown about way too easily in electronic music, but there is no question about the status of dance music historys most recognisable global figure. A musical ambassador, a veteran of acid house, a champion of techno and a professional DJ since his early teens. Carl has been playing music, breaking tunes and celebrating life and never losing sight of his passions for over 30 years.
The list of accolades is endless, two top UK top 40 hits, 6 studio albums, 16 million weekly listeners to his global radio show, multi label owner, 12 years as the king of Space Ibiza, the most universally admired dj in dance music, and as Yousef puts it, when the history books are written, there will be only one name etched into authentic folk law of who was the greatest dj of all time - Carl Cox. Carl elopes for his first solo single away from Intec digital in many years. It's fitting that time for house music appears on the label of his biggest fan and padawan, Yousef and his renowned Circus Recordings.


The original encompasses the width of the Carl Cox sound in 2014, jacking drums, warm bass, a thumping Review excerpt house and techno hybrid, and of course the classic Cox energy and charisma that we all know (and love) Davide Squillace returns the remix favour for Carl in outstanding style, and it has to be said, this could be Davides finest moment as a producer to date, an incredible remake. Gnarly rhythms, picky hooks and a twisted bass, one of the great remixes this year no doubt.
After a chance meeting with Yousef, Second City confessed to how much he would love to be involved with Circus Recordings, so Yousef offered the chart topper a chance to remix Carl Cox (no pressure then) Second City reveals another side to his psyche, sharp drums, a pulsating groove, a track that will be at home with Carola, Dice and Fanciulli. To complete the package Circus Recordings own David Glass steps up, delivering a strong finale.
The killer remix was debuted at Boiler Room Liverpool to huge applause when Glassy appeared this month, proving why he is one of the leaders of the next generation of authentic house and techno names
The final word from Carl Cox: I have to say, everything comes to those who wait, and it was totally worth it. This package is amazing to say the least, all mixes, sound so good, but the David Glass is the clear winner for me, it so fucking funky, I cannot stop playing it. It rocks so much, I am almost in tears. Thank you so much for believing in my music as it means a lot.

The deep house genre is one that has, of late, become mutated and blurred beyond all recognition, so it's a welcome return to Cadenza for Cesar Merveille, who serves up two new tracks of the real deal, except no imitations! 'DEA' is a cut that's been bubbling for a few months, first premiered on Mirko Loko's 'Vagabundos' mix CD from the start of the Summer season. Cesar's appreciation for subtlety and the finer details shine through, a shuffling hat groove and the sweet, brassy melody line edging in over a backdrop of subaquatic swashes and effects and a minor vocal stab adding some extra warmth. Pure gold from Merveille, and a cut that reclaims the sophisticated and intelligent edge of the genre. Flipside, 'Kraftone' is an immediate cut, it's jackin groove and bouncing kicks sees an infectious bass riff warp its way around the reverberating hats and deft keys. With the energy levels never letting up, Merveille tweaks and distorts its basic components, it's the kind of track that could run on and on; its earworm of a melody is highly contagious. Cesar Merveille hails from Paris, and with a large appetite for the arts, jazz music and fine wines, has carved out an impressive curriculum vitae, with releases for Cadenza, Visionquest and Safari Electronique, as well a collaborative album last year with Ryan Crosson. Laurent Garnier (F Comm) - Love 'Kraftone', will play this a lot D'Julz (Ovum) - 'DEA' is superb! Bravo! Franck Roger (Real Tone) - Excellent EP once again, thanks Ryan Crosson (Visionquest) - Super hot bombs!!

Aiming to go somewhat deeper and darker than his debut album, on 'Some Kind Of Sign' Ernesto endevours to go beyond the obvious and easily cliched elements of an electronic LP, capturing the world within the spaces, using otherworldly modulars and field recordings to take the listener to the outer reaches of the album's very heart and soul. 'Some Kind Of Sign' is an album full of elasticated beats and liquid electronics, every track built around highly inventive drum programming and micro-samples. Album opener, 'Still Waiting", sets the tone with bustling, yet understated, percussion, the soaring strings unfurling at the end of each phrase. It's a long player filled with colour; 'Cristal Clear' feels like a Middle Eastern travelogue, the track awash with an almost street scene like ambience, the purposeful percussion really transporting the listener to another space & time. 'Astral' chugs along at almost a skanking pace, the shakers and drum fills keeping it a dancefloor piece whilst the modular synths bend and worm around the kicks. On tracks like 'Underwater Lies' the synths rain down onto a dubbed out & sultry female vocal, whilst the propelling electro beat and huge sub-bass carve out a most enjoyable aural (subaquatic) ride. Ferreyra really shows what he is capable of in the deep melancholy of 'The Friend I've Lost", the saddest of pianos riffs grips your heart and gives it a good tight crush, douses you in reverb and pins you up against epic, taut strings...releasing you after its two short minutes to get back to the dance on 'Hide No More".

Geddes first single is impressive with the title track 'Remedy' sure to be a pinnacle in many DJ sets. 'Remedy' is laced with house rhythms and uses a melodic synth and stabs to create a tough house groove before the vocal gives the track the unique flavour and character Geddes can produce. 'Shout' sleazily rolls along being joined by different instruments to create a funky club track that will turn dance floors upside down.

Kopf Artefakt presents a new 12" single, driving rhythms, bouncy bass line and bright synthesizer fanfares are the ingredients of this release.

In the first place the Chilean "Larry Peters", his productions distinguish themselves through colourful synth work that is sometimes retro- sometimes future, 'Swing' is a inner romantic by a poppy deep house framework, an echoing glides through the arrangement and slowly drives the dance floor into ecstasy without ever being obtrusive a bright synth melody and fine groove house music.

Rounding off the package is turn of Spanish "Manu Vulcano", winner of the first edition of the Burn Studios Residency Ibiza in 2012 and big friend... presents us 'Teide' comes with dubby, rawness in his deep house, lets vocals fly to chords plunging the track into warm takes the front seat and sheds some light into of the club.

The third time is the charme...that's right. Thus, the joy about the third album by Marek Hemmann is huge. Likewise, the third album is perceived as an important brand which ought to show the actual extent of a musician's potential. Either hold one's ground or dare something new Marek Hemmann is not deterred by such expectations. He was merely in the mood for new tracks. The eight newcomers on Moments' sound accordingly - easygoing, detached and characterised by the same profoundly and harmonically balanced musicality for which Marek Hemmann is world-renowned. Anyhow, a just continue as before' mentality is not an option for the Berliner my choice - from the beginning, his music effortlessly blurred the established genre lines. In this vein, his new work is influenced by a great candour.
As already accomplished with his highly esteemed albums In Between'and Bittersweet', in Moments' Marek Hemman takes the listeners - and certainly the dancers - on a journey through different spheres of contemporary electronic music. Nestled in Helio' and Bob' branches to significantly different moods are introduced from silent pauses to weightlessly lifting off to dancing around dreamily. Yet, within the many interwoven details, a noticeable sophistication can be picked out. Even more seamless and subtle, Marek Hemmann manages to unite euphoria and sweet melancholy, playful and sublime sounds, warmly shifting basses and sweeping synth-melodies.
Moments' provides moments of life and moments on the dancefloor with the fitting soundtrack. We are very happy
about this.

Canadian artist Paolo Rocco makes his debut on Saved with "People Say".
From the top there is a unique seductive pad that pans creatively over the cut back percussion. The bass line enters early on and stands out with its original pattern and alternating frequencies, working well with the crisp clap that programmes itself in and out. The vocals are what makes the track. They are catchy just like the bass line, and are processed effectively, maintaining a nice, fresh groove.

Over on the flip side is a remix from label boss Nic Fanciulli that utilises the original parts
effectively and maintains an energetic pace with smart programming. Both mixes have been creating a real buzz across scene.

The sixth release on Kopf Artefakt, this time, comes from Ricardo Galindo and Dj Marshall.

This ep delivers deep waves solidifies this alchemic sound with his outstanding vocal canon tricks and psychedelic lyrics, simply made for the clubs. There is a lot of percussion going on but always with deep and fat drums and basslines. Exactly how we love it.

The remix of Luca M & JUST2 has a element with a perfect blend of clever arrangements and ever evolving melodies. adds on to this by pushing the boundaries ever outward, the result is banging tech of our time.

Don't miss this little ep in autumn ! ! !

The unsung hero of melodic techno prepares to step up to the Poker Flat plate for a second time, continuing the partnership that began with the epic 'Planet Funk EP' earlier this year. Vince Watson is a stalwart of the scene and truly in a league of his own: an unparalleled discography, a singular flair for arrangement, and a signature sound of lush layers and deep irresistible grooves. 'Rock It' is another complete chapter written in Watson's unique vocabulary. The EP's title track's swift pacing and bright multi chords-create a constant state of uplift and progression, movement and light. Subtle changes and hypnotic building loops drive this number towards a state of blissful contradiction: slow-burn euphoria. 'Sonar' contains all the scale, emotion and colour that the title may suggest; a prominent chord progression is sustained throughout, running through the track like a shot of neon, ensuring its future a peak time anthem. 'Feel It' is the yin to the yang of the previous tracks, easing into a looser, deeper tech house tempo, and unravelling tight melodic harmonies for breezy watercolour washes of pads.

The 'C-Scape' EP from Chromengel is the latest release on the Magic Waves label and features four tracks fit to set your turntables on fire once again! Chromengel is a secret production alias of an original 1970s kosmische and synth-wave veteran producer, and while the tracks all sound sonically fresher-than-fresh the musical experience shines through in equal measure. Opening the record is the title track, 'C-Scape', a melancholic leftfield electro builder that has 'instant classic' stamped all over it, and is followed up by the dark and deep dubbed-out electronic space sounds of 'Khamsin', a modern-day masterpiece evoking memories of Basic Channel, Aural Float and Air Liquide amongst others. Side B kicks off with 'Wes Too', a progressive piece of contemporary kosmische action that takes the energy levels to a climax before we finally crash down to Earth again with a bump for 'Photosynthetik', an electro beast that's as mean as it is futuristic and as tough as it is slick. As usual the pressing is limited so grab this while stocks last!

With the release of their last album Smoke' (2013) Dapayk & Padberg moved to a listening oriented direction, that also works perfectly off the dance floor. The new single Sink This Ship' underlines their decision to follow this path in the future ... maybe even with their upcoming album Harbour' later this year. On Sink This Ship' Eva Padberg unfolds her matured voice, which shows more confidence than on previous records. Dapayk skillfully puts her voice in a common scenery, where the straight beats are long over and where is space for extravagances and inventiveness. However, this is not a radical change turning away from the club sound. Two of the most sought-after remixer artists at the moment, Robot Koch and Bebetta, ensure the suitability for the dance floor. Robot Koch skillfully disassembles (for which he is known) the original. Primarily he builds his version on the emotional base of Eva's vocal part and Dapayk's warm bass line. However, on the flip side, there is almost a contrasting change. The slight melancholy of the original track gives way for a typical Bebetta Techhouse Beat, that flows through the club in a dreamy, yet simply irresistible manner.

Duijn & Douglas - Das die Ene: This very warm, deep track takes you on a journey of hypnotic textures and revolving bass lines. It feels like you have fallen into a slow motion tumble dryer, which relentlessly tosses you around in a warm air with a pleasant dizzying effect.

Ah, yes! Finally some real flavours to sink our teeth into.

The nose is truly a work of art. First the classic peaty smoke but so distinctly understated.

Confident in it's maturity. The salty pineapple citrus is next coupled with a refined lemon- lime toffee tartness. And finally a whiff of fresh cucumber sprinkled with the loveliest of white pepper. Oh, yes. This is what we've been waiting for!

The creamy mouthfeel is laced with intense black peppers but then mellows out to give you honey, lemon and chocolate with a dash of tobacco. The long peppery finish is fruity with a hint of limestone.

These are the classic flavours that made Linkwood one of the top distilleries and Expressions should be on your list of malts to try before you die.

* Eagerly awaited Linkwood LP
* Screen printed by House Of Traps
* Triple vinyl!

Exciting blend of organic and electrifiying house, ethereal melodies, encapsulates a lot of variety (as we like) remixes for the purist house heads as well as for fans of deep leftfield house or twisted groove addicts. Remixes are courtesy of Marek Hemmann (who has just released his highly anticipated second album on Freude am Tanzen), Compost's very own Philipp Stoya, Leipzig's hottest newcomer Talski and Marbert Rocel founding member Panthera Krause who has released a stunning EP of his own on Riotvan earlier this year.

Marbert Rocel, the East German indie popnjazz sensation and live band just brought their third album Small Hours to life, capturing a deep sense for beats, smoking, songs, indie pop trips including leftfield house- and jazzy affairs. As Groove magazine wrote an album finally progressed their own stunning charm into a higher sphere of danceable indie pop. Well, its true, Marbert Rocel music is light and sunny, but they working hard with patience, belief, a lot of cigarettes, and dozens of live gigs around Europe, to spread their charm with passion and a wicked glints in their eyes. There is this lack of pretention in their music which everybody loves, actually people from the techno, soul, jazz or pop worlds even all seems to be convinced. Together with Mathias Kaden, they formed the project Karocel and released the highly acclaimed album Plaited on Freude Am Tanzen.

Melodic house pioneer and Diynamic figurehead Solomun is back with his latest release, a compilation of some of his best-loved remixes from over the past 7 years. Comprised of 24 tracks spread across two CDs, the collection is due for release in June this year, and is split into a vocal and non-vocal disc. Both the CD and vinyl versions come with customisable cover artwork and a pack of crayons, reflecting the "remix" concept.

The first disc displays Solomun's skill for crafting intelligent yet crossover-ready reworks of both well-known and underground songs. Amongst these are some of the producer's most iconic tracks to date; the Solomun Vox Mix of Noir & Haze's 'Around' - Resident Advisor's no1 remix and Groove Magazine's no2 remix of 2011 - as well as his remix of 'Let's Go Back' by Kraak & Smaak, which was also Groove Magazine's no3 remix of the same year. His remix of Foals - 'Late Night' from 2013 also features, which, alongside 'Around', has racked up over 30 million views on Youtube to date. Other offerings range from atmospheric takes on the likes of Lana Del Rey and Roisin Murphy, to the more recent, deep and downbeat remix of Whilk & Misky's 'Clap Your Hands'.

The largely vocal-less remixes on CD2 allow Solomun's unique production style to shine through. The dark beats of his remix of Stimming's 'Una Pena' feat. Paulo Olarte makes for an attention-grabbing start to the disc, whereas his dub mix of 'A Love Bizarre' by So Phat! and Claude VonStroke's 'The Clapping Track' shows his funkier side. Older remixes like that of 'Magnetic North' by Palm Skin Productions and Marbert Rocel's 'Cornflake Boy' prove Solomun's credentials with a traditional jacking house groove, underlined by those same distinctive lush basslines and melodic elements. Tiga & Audion's famous 'Let's Go Dancing' draws the compilation to a close, demonstrating Solomun's skill for bringing an entirely new dimension to an already very well-known track.

Limited Coloured Vinyl Edition Of Tokabeatz Best Of Tracks 2013 !!

Pets Recordings hit their 59th release, handing the reigns to rising star Adam Port who presents a fresh update on '80s synthtronica, mixed with a smattering of gradual peak-time, bottom-heavy house structure. 'This Time' is the product of a new and fruitful relationship between Adam and vocalist Jennifer Touch, who grabbed Port's attention with her stand out vocals on the Nightstalker EP on Riotvan. The pair connected and began meeting for off the cuff, un-planned sessions at the Keinemusik studio in Stattbad, with Port bringing his knowledge of the dance-floor, Touch her 80's'esque new wave sound and influences. 'It's a very good flow with her' says Adam. 'We're speaking the same music language even when we have a different background". Pets bosses Catz 'n Dogz immediately asked to sign the track after hearing Adam play it out. Full of dark, new wave pop sensibilities and edgy, dance-floor nuance, the original's slow and meandering electronic drum rhythm - permeated by crisp, mechanical snares, cymbal flashes and a guitar-picked loop with deep bassline and chanting background vocal melodies - make way for Jennifer's haunting vocal delivery while melancholy synths drape the track during it's choral bridge. Adam then progressively notches up in tempo as marching beats help to drive the track towards the dance-floor. Sei A delivers a punchy, bassy remix - driven by a thick and pounding kick drum at it's core - while radiating, pulsing synth bass slowly melt into range, before a high tempo organ riff heralds a darker, techno leaning excursion into full force peak-time territory before brutalist saw wave bass lines bring the warehouse vibes on the drop.

Render und seine Debut EP What Is A Number, That A Man May Know It wurden 2010 direkt zu Underground Hits und die Platten sind seitdem begehrte Sammlerstücke.Zu dieser Zeit war Barnt schon ein etablierter Teil der Musikszene Kölns, der Stadt in der er zunächst sein Biologiestudium abschloss und darauf noch ein Kunststudium folgen liess, was erneut die beiden Pole ,Präzision' und ,Freies Spiel' in seiner Entwicklung vereint. In der fruchtbaren Atmosphäre der Stadt fühlt er sich noch immer wohl und entwickelt von hier aus seinen eigentümlichen Stil weiter, der ihn bereits vom Robert Johnson zum Trouw, vom Montreux Jazz Festival zum Mutek und vom Berghain zum Burning Man gebracht hat.

NORD Records is welcoming DJ Guy on the label for their ninth record. The release is a double 12 inch with tracks produced in 1993-1997. DJ Guy was able to find and restore these tapes which results in a vinyl release from NORD.

Ibiza based Francisco Allendes makes a welcome return to Desolat for his next release, a fine EP that marks something of a new direction for the man across its four great tracks. First up, 2Agility Queen' is a raw bit of jacking house with clipped vocals offered up by Dance Mania's DJ DMC, bulky drums and classic cow bell tinkles all making for a sweaty and heavy house kicker . The rapped vocals that come in add plenty of flair to an already firing track. The brilliant Groundhog Day' is an off kilter, rave influenced tune with wordless voices, militant snare patterns and blasts of frazzled bass frequencies that cannot fail to energise any floor. On the flip, Flea Allergy' is another anxious cut of coarse hi hats, robotic and wordless vocals and slamming dreams that works you into a frenzy, then Aroa Leon' gets even more unhinged, lumpy and ghetto fried with its sleazy drums, jittery perc and kinetic sense of energy. This lively, arresting new EP is a fine new direction and sound for Francisco Allendes that never stays too far from the chunky Desolat blueprint we all know and love.
