Pre-Order From Beatport 30/01/17 Release

De:tached introduce a fresh and highly promising talent to the house music scene. The artist’s name is Rooke, the track is called ‘Control’ and it’s a scorcher!!!

‘Control’ centres around a minimalist approach, switching between bleeping techno synths and a funky hook,  Majesty gives ‘Control’ a Breakbeat/Funky Tech House makeover while Carl St. Pierre & Mike Jones go for a robust and sturdy rerub with a firm emphasis on the drums.

Fans of the prevailing energetic Tech House sound championed by artists like Tapesh & Lupe Fuentes will love this latest release on De: Tached and with good reason!!!

Rooke-Control EP

The ‘Roller Skate Jam‘ is a night that’s held at the, Mojo Club, in Hamburg. It’s a night that does exactly as it says on the tin, a roller-skate party. Folks turn up with their skates and either cruise around or throw some shapes to a predominantly Disco sound. The latest mix to be recorded from the night comes from, DJ Mad and his collection of cosmic and funky Disco tunes that would have had the rollers moving and grooving all night long.

It’s evident that on the grounds of the first two singles to be released, their new album is gonna be an absolute winner! To stay tuned for future singles, be sure to hit the links below.

Yoshitoshi treat us to 2 new remixes of Valentino ‘Flying’. Cid Inc’s VIP, an alternative version to his remix from last year-flourishes with rampant energy ready to burst out of the speakers and float through the air above the revellers dancing to its beat. Perfectly suited for the big room or indeed that moment of unbridled euphoria that can happen anywhere, anytime.

Sharam’s edit of the Psycatron is labeled as Prog House on Beatport, but it sounds very much like Techno to us!!! The Pink Floyd style guitar section is kept from the original but this is not Roger Water’s wall being built around that riff. The pounding drums and snarling stabs call on us to stomp hard!! all in all, two excellent additions to a great track adding further life and longevity. In a word, superb!!!

Pharaoh K breaks out the percussion and tenebrous bass shots for the ‘Bora EP; on Low Pitched Records

Both the title track and ‘Tusk’ are knockdown grimey breakbeat cum grime bangers with tidy drums and a chest full of gruesome bass synths. Punchy sound system wreckers to get the dance floor positively irate and raucous!!!

Seems like only yesterday when our ears feasted on Preset’s first volume in the ‘Back To The… ‘ series. Now those very ears are treated to a second round, three in total tracks; all straight up 1992 rave themed future house B A N G E R S!!!

Once again, Preset take three stone cold classics from the era of glowsticks and Hi-vis jackets and retells their story in slammin’ 4×4 House music style. ‘The Bouncer’, ‘We Are IE’, and ‘DJs Unite’ all get a fresh lease of life for 2017. We especially love ‘DJs Unite’, a track that builds up with jungle breaks cleverly mapped to the house beats before those mess with your brain riffs known to a certain age group kick in just ahead of the Future House mid section still with breakbeats intact!!! A huge EP from Preset, we really hope there will be further volumes in future!!!

Mugshot displays their aptitude for some deep rooted in the oldskool slammin’ DnB with ‘Run The Rhythm’ and ‘Out There’ on Inna Rhythm Recordings

‘Run The Rhythm’ hearkens back to the sound of DJ Krust and Bad Company circa 2000. A preternatural intro leads into sharp shots of abrasive bass and brunt drumbeats. ‘Out There’ keeps to this vein embedding some funky 90’s era jump up bassline pressure into the mix. No need to fix what was never broken, this is the DnB we know and we most definitely love!!!

It’s a welcome return to the ward for Melbourne based producer, JSquared. He can often be found adding a decent lick of Disco to his music and his rework of Melba Moore‘s 1982 hit ‘Mind Up Tonight’ is no different. He’s given the slick and smooth original an extra boost of groove and sparkle, so it’s ready for the dance floor once again. Grab it while it’s hot!
