The talented Ed The Spread brings his unique House music sound to MFR Records

Everything about both tracks on this EP is intriguing. From the names to the cleverly cut up oldskool hardcore & jungle samples set to the chugging beats and the fully phat analogue sounding beats, everything about these two tracks is a head turner. And they will turn heads wherever played!!!

Masaya & Ripperton ‘Flow Of Tears’, a fresh EP of stunning House/Techno/Electronica coming to Chapter 24 Records ( currently available to Pre-Order on Vinyl)

Beginning with the fairy dust tingle and throb of the amazing ‘Borderline’, a track whose parts are many and truly splendid. Hypnotic clicks, bumps and beeps build to a crescendo of infectious synths

‘Picture’ is truly scenic, a modified vocal with a touch of 80s glam. sudden stabs of intensity and a gently building tapestry of progressive techy melodies

Then we have Masaya & Ripperton’s individual takes on the title track. Masaya takes us on an early morning sojourn with subtle breaks and melancholy. Ripperton takes the route of electrifying techno with a dark delectable twist. You can buy this truly wonderful EP this Monday 5/12/16

As 2016 draws to a close, Rhythm 4 Reason throw a contender for the best track of the year into the hat.

Love House music? Also love oldskool hardcore circa 1992? Messrs Wayne Dudley & Phil Maher clearly do too. The difference is while the likes of you and I endlessly debate on social media over which 92 tunes has most merit, these two went and made a brand new tune with all the best bits of the original oldskool sound. Rushy pianos, call to action MC vox, uplifitng synths and on the ‘Sound Of The 92′ Cru’ mix…breaks, yes breaks!!!

And if you’re more of the 4×4 persuasion (and why not after all?) then the ‘2 Kool For The Newskool’ Mix retains all that oldskool flava in a massive Tech House package.  ‘Make Some Noise For The DJs’ is out now on Ulybug. as far as this writer is concerned it’s one of several Rhythm 4 Reason tunes that stand up as this years biggest and best.

Rhythm 4 Reason – Make Some Noise For The DJs

Straight outta Scotland, 18 09 Records is an independent House & Techno label putting out quality underground beats on a regular basis, we round up some recent releases…

Luca De Santo- Relevance EP

Some real peak time melodic techno right here. Deep, swimming synths, Hip Hop vox and pounding beats are the tasty ingredients for ‘Relevance 101′. ‘Relevance  102′ leans more towards House and has a nice Balearic feel to it, perfect for ‘Ibeefaaa!!!’

Oliver Jay- Lucky strike EP

Now this is a hulkingly huge EP!!! ‘Fake Piano’ in particular just leaps out of the speakers with ravey Korg M1 pianos and a bouncing sequence of pads and beats that fit perfectly with the populist style of Tech House. ‘Going Home’ completely flips the script to uplifting classic garage/deep house with vibey organs and pianos. Not content with being incredibly diverse already, Oliver Jay turns the tables once again with the funky/tribal beats of ‘It’s Good’.

Stonedove- Trouble 

We’ve been won over by a number of great tracks by Stonedove this year, here’s another one. A warm smile of a track that just keeps getting better. Lush pianos, shades of disco and those flutes!!! Oh My!!! Caveman turns in a excellent remix worthy of a Defected album and Libs does the same in his own upbeat style full of rich synth work.

18-09 Records Catch Up December 2016

The ‘Echo Valley’ album by, Afternoons In Stereo, is one that I’ve been meaning to post for a few days now. Like many other music bloggers I’m sure, I listen to music while writing about to make sure the feel of the music comes through in the words written. This album though has caused some minor issues as it’s left me unable to think or do anything, simply because of it’s sheer beauty and gorgeous downtempo vibe. I’m a huge lover of music that flicks the ‘think’ button off because with so much going on in the world, stepping into a softly padded bubble to float away with just good music, is absolute bliss.

‘Echo Valley’ has been released on the amazing Greek label, Timewarp Music and contains 13 tracks that take you on a tripped-out psychedelic journey into a fusion of Jazz and Funk. It’s music that’ll reach in every corner of your mind, opening doors you never knew were there and behind them, good times, the best times. Dive in and see for yourself.

Although Nicky ‘D’Silva‘ has been all about Drum n Bass since he started on his solo venture, he heads back to a sound that many will most associate him with, tearout, hell for leather Breakbeat! His remix of ‘Reste’ by, Noir & Oliver Giacomotto, pulls no punches and delivers a massive amount of bass! It’s bound to be one of the tunes that gets rinsed at parties and why not, this’ll have your whole street bouncing!

Left/Right never ceases to amaze us when it comes to releasing music that you just cannot stop listening to. If there was a chart for the biggest releases of 2016, it would be littered with his music and his brand new remix of Radiohead‘s ‘Codex’ would definitely be in contention for the top slot! ‘Epic’ is a word that can often be attached to easily to music sometimes but one listen of this remix and you’ll soon discover that it’s more than worthy of that tag. Breathtaking, beautiful, it’s a goosebump making machine!

Puppet combines elements of Rock/Indie with lush strings, sweeping melodies and super heavy beats. It’s so much more than that though. If you love good songs with the US Rock/Pop feel and you also love properly produced Bass music, this six track EP is a ticket waiting to be snapped up and blazin’ outta ya speakers!!!

Waitz features on a string of top Tech House/House labels such as Madtech. He makes a lasting impact joining Daylight Robbery with 2 huge tracks and in good company with top class remixes from Matteo Rosolare/JoJo Angel & Quentin van Honk.

The title track to this essential EP is disco funkin’ epicness, pure jackin’ club house action all the way.  Matteo Rosolare & JoJo Angel take this title track in a very different direction, we’re talking bangin’ drums and hard Detroit Techno stabbage for the clubbers that like to go properly crazy!!!

Quentin van Hook gives his take on ‘Bring The House Back’, another very Techno leaning remix with added snatches of breakbeats and a heavy bassline with loads of nice echo and reverb.

‘Lose Control’ is a nice busy track with tons of great arangements. This one is firmly on the Warehouse vibe with a very familiar vocal in usage. This crack team of commandos have definitely brought the house back!!!
