Review:
The solo project of Tone Control's Marcus Harris, Suitdancer is supposedly his attempt to distill the "electronic music, inherited soul records and cult VHS films I consumed as a kid". On listening to Wireworld, his debut release under the name, its easy to see the influence they've had; the title track is a hazy collection of wonky acid gurgles and radiophonic chords that recall Com Truise and Aphex Twin, while "Copshow" takes shows him to have some melodic techno prowess. "The Complex" takes things in a totally different direction with its kosmische, Tangerine Dream-inspired soundscape, and "Nightsights" throws a hip hop tempo beat underneath some crystalline synth melodies. Finishing up, Don't Be Afraid's Mr Beatnick remixes the title track into a spongy house jam worth of his recent material.

Review:
Dave Mayer has previously released most of his work on Strictly Rhythm, which should give you a steer as to his style. Certainly, "When You Were Mine" is deeper than much of his previous work, while retaining the effortless funk that always marks out his percussion. The track is filled out with some delightfully darting synths and just the right amount of soulful vocal samples. Jaimy's remix is an altogether more soulful affair, layering tasty keys and vintage synth sax over a bongo-laden groove. It's reminiscent of the deeper end of early '90s Italian house, which is no bad thing in our book.

Review:
Having made his debut on Prime Numbers earlier this year with his titular contribution to a split release alongside Truss and Massimo De Lena, Adesse is granted a full release with this all killer no filler Untitled Love EP. For someone who came to the fore with a version of Theo Parrish's "Sky Walking, it's unsurprising that the title track here has a rugged charm reminiscent of the outspoken Sound Signature boss - it's all about that thumping snare son! Meanwhile "Supernal" veers into deep steppers territory and contains some ingenious looping of a Laurie Anderson standard, whilst "Metachemistry" highlights Adesse's talent for loose, freeform arrangements.

Review:
More from Visionquest regulars and rising stars Footprintz, whose decidedly touchy-feely approach epitomises the label's vision. "Uncertain Change" actually sounds like a Benoit & Sergio track, all woozy vocals, atmospheric pads, new wave-influenced grooves and casual synth-pop charm. Maceo Plex provides the first remix, upping the energy levels thanks to some bolder beats, big builds and lovingly played chords. The real standout, though, is the Audio rework - Matthew Dear's first under the guise for sometime. Wonky, strange, atmospheric and eerie, it turns the shuffling original into a stunning chunk of afterparty oddness.

Review:
Given Unknown To The Unknown's wide ranging remit, including bassline garage, Detroit electro and Chicago house, it was perhaps inevitable that a genuine 90s house record would find its way onto the label at some point. Originally released in 1992, OHM's "Tribal Tone" was supposedly the first tune to use the Korg M1 sound that was later immortalised by Robin S' "Show Me Love", and had considerable impact at the time, being championed The Shamen frontman Mr C, being licensed to R&S sub-label Global Cuts and US label Vibe, and finding itself remixed by the Sabres of Paradise trio. Here it finds itself with three similarly great remixes, a stripped-back, raw groover from Marquis Hawkes, a horn-heavy piece of 90s action from Capracara and a thundering mid-tempo effort from Northern Souls. Essential!

Review:
Given their history of flitting between funk-tinged grooves, downtempo beats and rousing, party-starting fodder, it's a little surprising to see Jalepeno diving headfirst into the world of US garage-influenced deep house with an EP from Nottingham-based producer Animist. There's much to enjoy, from the summery liquidity of admirably melodic bonus cut "Neutral Bay", to the chopped-up yelps, woozy chords and classic house grooves of lead track "Tin Head Bump". Best of all, though, is Marcus Jakes' remix of "Tin Head", which beefs up the bottom end and adds some irresistible shuffle to Animist's garage-influenced groove.

Review:
Throughout their five-year career, Lithuanian duo Downtown Party Network have proved more than adept at creating house music with bags of wide-eyed atmosphere. They're at it again on "Crazy Cow Bell", a suitably sparse and dubbed-out chunk of touchy-feely deepness whose chiming melodies and spacey synths never get in the way of the sub-heavy bassline and cowbell-centric percussion. There's quite a lot going on, to be honest, but you can't tell - each element is clear in the mix and given room to breathe. Almost as good is "Owls Don't Cry", a heart-aching chunk of emotion-rich deepness that manages to be both warm and strangely icy.

Review:
A finer schooling in contemporary Detroit soul you will not find; Mr De - AKA ghettotech legend Ade Manior - digs deep and curates another fine collection from his label's back cat. Each track is a highlight, from De's own electroboogie theme tune to his deeper, more emotion-rich house projects as Renaissance. Naturally Underground Resistance's Galaxy 2 Galaxy joints are a major drawer; if the proto-anthem "Jupiter Jazz" and the more meandering robo cloud jazz of "Inspiration" aren't in your collection now is the time to get up to speed.
