With the green shoots of Spring popping up around the LSM HQ, we bring you a track that itself starts off as a small shoot but quickly hits full bloom! ‘Gotta Keep Searching’ comes from American, Disco producer, Serge Gamesbourg and is a very spritely track that’s full of joy and life. It has the perfect level of warmth to fend off the remnants of Winter and remind you of what’s around the corner. Lush music!

Download the track here via Hypeddit.

Horizon Recordings takes a retrospective look back at 2 and a half years and 25 releases and in order to do that, they have carefully and lovingly curated “Flashback Vol 1″, 12 tracks of diverse and classy house, bass and more experimental sounds from the likes of Tom Luka, Cellardore, Paleface & Shoot The Ghost plus more……

“Flashback Vol 1″ is a listening album in the truest sense, it starts off in warm up fashion with melodic Balearica from Monoman Ft Molly Burbridge’s vocal delight “Bloom” and gets bumpy with Luvless on the remix of Paleface “Day I Die” then soulful house excellence via Tom Luka & Gemma Jayne. The heat starts to rise with some hypnotic soulful tech house from MarX “True Emotion” featuring Kurtis Mantronix style amen breaks and scratches. The atmosphere deepens and intensifies with AC’s powerful “Left Behind” while Bristol Garage/Breaks don Celladore channels their inner rave with “Do I Keep Thinking”.

Button Fac3 gets electro/old skool jackin house with the analogue shuffle of “Machine”, Ulex brings the LP to a marching crescendo with some peak time Tech House entitled “Get No Better” while Kirby’s “Be There” is a full on club heater which will go down well with fans of the Low Steppa style of underground club bangers, this is followed up by another UK House style heater, YTC’s “Be There”

We close in with Murder He Wrote’s Bass/UK Funky remix of Shoot The Ghost “Scratches” and finally we get a satisfying breaks n bass wobble to send the people home happy Outcry’s “OMFG”

If like us, you’re new to this label, we urge you to go out and get this essential introduction to an incredible back cat, you can buy from Juno and iTunes

In the world of Glitch Hop, there are stars, then there are superstars, and then there’s, Krossbow! Colin and Jonny aka, Krossbow, have lit up the ward on several occasions. but now they return with their debut album ‘Up & Under’ and have the place dazzling with the new music they have created! Nine tracks of extreme aural pleasure on the way…

‘Low Slung Funk’ is the first track on the album and sets us on our way perfectly with hefty levels of vim and vigour, with lashings of funky, chunky broken beats. The next two tracks ‘Monakor’ and ‘Up & Under’ lay down a Liquid Glitch path. A deeper, smoother feel to things but still plenty in the tank should you wish to want to shake your thang!

The next three tracks ‘Hip Shake’, ‘Wompsteppa’ and ‘Prism Cell’ see the fuse of enticement reach it’s destination and ‘BOOM’, we’re off! The bass has been well and truly let out of the bag on this trio of highly charged beauties. It won’t just be your neighbour that feels these, the neighbouring town will get the gist of what’s going down too!

After all that intensity and hullabaloo comes a track of pure refreshment ‘Fly With Me’ featuring the stunning and breathtaking vocal of, Parry Ray. This track is like the fruity, divine dessert at the end of a three course meal that cleanses the pallet leaving you feeling all fresh. Gorgeous stuff!

Of course, even after a very filling meal, there’s always room for an after mint or two, right? ‘Axolotl’ is the penultimate track on the album and raises the temperature once again with a wall of bass and belly of fire. The album is wrapped up in deserving style as the guys bring you the epic ‘Future Echoes’. Despite the spacey feel, this one is huge, very huge! It also leaves room in the brain to give reflection of what has just been experienced. If you’re like us, the outcome will be that you’re now sat there with the biggest grin of satisfaction on your face, having massively enjoyed what just went down! Krossbow, we salute you!
