Review: In the last 18 months, Dutch duo Detroit Swindle has come from nowhere to become one of deep house's go-to names. This three-tracker for Tsuba - their first for Kevin Griffiths' label - is another 'must-check' release. Lead cut "Sometimes" is typical of their output to date; deep, stylish, quietly soulful and blessed with relentless riffs that propel the track forwards at a rate of knots. Arguably better is "That Freak Stuff", a slick chunk of deepness blessed with some rougher drums, an addictive bassline and some atmospheric, whispered vocal samples. Soulphiction remixes, turning the track on its head thanks to shuffling analogue drums, a fuzzy bassline and some glistening pianos.

Played by: Mat Cant, Lucent

Review: Edinburgh producer Hostage has no intention of losing the heat garnered from a host of important releases on labels like Herve's Deep Thrills and Black Butter. The newfound interest in the deeper side of things is kept up on "How We Go Down" which features buzzing low bass and tough house beats. "Keep Dark" is sultry speed garage, the sparse "Conscious" veers into 4 x 4 territory and ""Show Ya" wraps things up with a warped rave organ riff and some very late night UKF grooves.

Review: It's not all that long since Local Talk's first Talking House compilation dropped. Given the sheer volume of 12" singles from the label - there seems to be one every week these days - it's little surprise to see this follow-up dropping in double-quick time. The label's best material has always been superb, and there are some real gems here. Check, for example, Dirtytwo's clever (and exceptionally well executed) fusion of HNNY's "For The Very First Time" and Midnight Star's "Midas Touch", John Mood's "Basement Romance" (clearly inspired by classic Mood II Swing), and Cle's colossal piano house bomb "The Jam". Oh, and the thrill-packed blast of Balearic magic that is Fred Everything's "Brothers & Sisters (AM Pacific)".

from $1.49

Played by: Alkalino, Uner, Slam Mode

Review: In truth, very little is known about Ten Walls, Dixon and Ame's latest signing to their recently quiet Innervisions stable. What we do know, though, is that he makes some tasty music. Opener "Gotham" is particularly good, slowly building into the sort of deep, sinewy, confidently melodic chugger that Ame and Henrik Schwartz used to do so well. "Epos" is, if anything, even deeper, with intense warmth, and an almost Arabic feel to the intoxicating synthezier melodies. "Moag", on the other hand, is so drowsy it's almost asleep - all atmospheric chords, bubbling electronics and cavern-deep grooves. Whoever Ten Walls is, he's very good.

Review: Upon first listen to "Serious Clowns", you could be forgiven for exclaiming "oh no! not another re-edit!" Thankfully though this Canadian coast and the countryside collaboration between Neighbour (Vancouver) and DJ Spiltmilk (Calgary) is an original composition that combines sultry arpeggiated Italo disco with an 80s soul mood (a la Imagination or Dennis Edwards). The rest of the EP is pretty funky too: "Look At Each Other..." managing to channel both Plastic Dreams and the Minneapolis sound, "No You Bite It" touches on deep house and best of all is the almost Viewlexx inspired "Red Or Black".

from $1.49

Review: Roberto Rodriguez's "Lies", previously released with tweaks from Attu, gets a second airing. The sinewy original - a kind of dubwise deep disco-house concoction - is remixed by Satin Jackets and Kyodai. The latter reaches for the heavy Rhodes chords and skippy US garage-influenced drums on his sunset-themed remake, apparently aiming to soundtrack happy evenings dancing on Mediterranean terraces. Nu-disco don Satin Jackets unsurprisingly emphasizes the original's more disco elements on his warm, baggy remake. It's a typically enjoyable and breezy chunk of deep house/nu-disco fusion.

Played by: Deetron

Review: Electro-deviant Jimmy Edgar has linked up once again with his JETS partner Machinedrum to launch the Ultramajic imprint, and he gets first stab at a release with this taut three tracker. "Hot Inside" is as unashamed a peak-time heater as Edgar has ever turned his hand to, sporting a riotous diva vocal hook and crisp house drums, but there's still a strong techno injection in the synth work and shifting phases of the track. "Strike" is a more abrasive affair with its metallic delay vibrations and relentlessly nagging jack, while "Shout" comes on all electro house in its fulsome bassline and shouty vocal snippets.

Played by: John Digweed

Review: French producer Antoine Husson's album as Electric Rescue seems like an unusual choice for John Digweed's Bedrock label. That said, Sonic Architecture does have some connection to the British DJ's dance floor selections, both past and present. "Unaggressive Complexity" could be an update on the break beat of Hybrid that Digweed championed - albeit with an evil Hoover riff at its centre - while the trippy vocal samples and insane tonal blips of the minimal house groover "Deode" is more in keeping with the Bedrock chief's current playlists. Sonic Architecture is more than dance floor tracks however, and the angelic melodies and glitchy sounds of "Dope" and the jingly guitar riffs and careering electronic bassline of "Airy Field" show that Husson has become a serious album artist.

Played by: John Digweed, Guti

Review: Last seen on Ostgut Ton back in 2011, the wonderfully monikered Dinky resurfaces on Visionquest with the Fallen Angel EP which precedes the release of Dimension D, her fifth studio album which has been mixed and co-produced by Matthew Styles. Visionquest press notes claim the forthcoming long player sees the Chilean DJ, producer and vocalist evolve into a fully fledged singer-songwriter and performer, which makes Dimension D a perfect fit for the label. As a taste of what's to come, "Fallen Angel" excels, with Iglesias's ethereal vocal the perfect foil for the dark, rippling techy groove. Kudos to Visionquest for the remixes too, with the aforementioned Styles further finessing the original's darker intricacies whilst Pepe Bradock completely rewires proceedings in his own inimitable style.

Played by: Paul Mac, Marcus Marr, Pan-Pot, Resident Advisor

Review: Having been active since the mid 2000s, Glimpse (aka producer Christopher Spero) is almost reaching "veteran" status. Here, he pops up on Aus with a bulging sack of late night delights. "True South" is typical of his wonky, darkroom productions - all robust, stripped-back grooves, foreboding Belgian techno bass and a smattering of deliriously wonky vocal samples. With its off-key horns and clandestine atmospherics, "L Plate" is, if anything, even wonkier, while the dubwise "Whiles" sounds like a knowing tribute to post-dubstep era Skull Disco with a cheeky wink towards contemporary deep house. Notable remixes from Tom De Mac and South Soul Project, the latter a body-popping trip into bass music territory, complete a fine EP.

Review: Erdbeerschnitzel has long been a reliable source of the sort of fascinating, floor-friendly material that defies easy categorization. Here he's at it again, offering some distinctly positive, mixed-up goodness for Delsin. Opener "Cushion" is a veritable blast of humid summer air, lacing twittering synth flutes and darting, near tropical melodies over a bumpin', slightly crusty deep house groove. "Am Bossele" tweaks the formula, delivering starbust deepness, loose but rigid drums and woozy, cut-up vocal samples in spades. Closer "Crossroads", meanwhile, is the deepest of the bunch, offering the right balance between wide-eyed synth lushness and ocean-deep midtempo grooves. Impressive stuff, all told.

Review: Canadian producer Jonson unveiles his second solo album. While there are signs that his sound is gradually mutating, for those who were seduced by 'Marionette', there is plenty to get excited about here. "Level 7" offers up those typical, slightly detuned trance melodies that Jonson forged his reputation on, set to a rolling groove and heavy claps, while the title track's psychedelic hooks float through a fluffy ambient backdrop. But "Pictures" also shows that Jonson has moved on; "Touch the Sky" features the kind of jazzy licks that Cobblestone Jazz specialise in - set to a rumbling bass - and more impressively, "Sahara" sees him lay down evocative blues guitar over a pulsing, rhythm track. The approach may have changed, but originality remains his strong point.

Review: Hot Creations boss man Jamie Jones resurfaces on the Crosstown Rebels label with his first solo transmission of the year, the rather fruitily titled Moan & Groan. Filled to bursting point with all the typical Jammy Jones production points - think bouncy groove, irresistible drops and hushed deviant vocals - "Moan & Groan" arrives just in time for the summer slog on the Croatian coastline. It's complemented by two remixes of "Tonight In Tokyo" - one of the secret weapons Jones included on last year's Crosstown Rebels album of sorts Tracks From The Crypt - from Breach and Cassius. Ben Westbeech's darker alias teases out some deep basslines for his rework whilst veteran French duo Cassius are on altogether more epic form.

Review: Whilst Laurie Osbourne's contribution to the hardcore continuum cannot be debated thanks to his involvement in the Skull Disco label with Shackleton, his production career as Appleblim to date has had a sense of needing the safety net of a studio partner, albeit impressive ones with collaborative releases alongside Peverelist, Ramadanman, Gatekeeper, Shackleton and most recently Komon. Finally Osbourne shows his hand at solo releases with the release of the Fluorescent single which comes via his own Apple Pips label. Both productions see Appleblim embrace the house template, albeit with a broken sensibility which is most prominent on "Flourescent". Hopefully this pair of cuts is just the start for Appleblim in solo mode.

Drumagick have been around for over 15 years now, adding their Latin magic to house, drum & bass and funk templates. Here we find them with carnival-o-meter set at 11 with four fantastic compositions. "Maracutu" is brash brass medley that doesn't sound far off Gregory circa "Tropical Soundclash", "Rio Drums" is a deeper, tribal affair with an off-beat wobble bass thrown in, "Sunday Morning" is a jazzier, silkier affair while "Feelings" flips the switch on a lush rolling D&B tip with washy, soothing chords and emotive pianos.

Review: The second single from Will Saul's more organic side project, Close, benefits greatly from the effortlessly soulful, melancholic vocals from Fat Freddy's Drop vocalist Joe Dukie. They sound majestic over Saul's sparse, shuffling production, all loose, live drums, subtle guitars and hissing cymbals. The remix package is impressive, too, with Dusky offering a perfectly-pitched version that manages to keep the fragility of the original whilst adding some stomping, garage-influenced drums. Midland's murky deep house tweak is pretty tasty, too, while Tanner Ross & Slow Hands go all Balearic on their beatless version. If anything, it's even more spine-tingling than the superb original.

Played by: Henri Kohn

Review: Mr. Tejada returns to Kompakt with a solid two-tracker and one which will undoubtedly be rinsed heavily this summer. The man is capable of creating some seriously enticing house grooves, never afraid of trying something new and incorporating more commercial tones together with strange, psychotic melodies. "Somewhere" lies between the vast terrain between house and electro, where its progressive drum patterns merge effortlessly with fuzzy electro basslines and flickering background melodies. "Elsewhere" meanwhile is a more lo-fi jam, where Tejada really shines through and shows us what he's good at: memorable house excursions packed with enough funk to have us all lost in a whirlpool of bouncy synths and gnarly percussion shots.

Frunk - (6:47) 124 BPM

from $1.49

Review: Scholl's third release on German label Cecille sees him play hard and fast with tool house rules. "Caboose", with its tribal beats and shaking percussion underscoring insistent filters and infectious vocal snippets, is probably the most conventional track here. It's followed closely by D'Julz take on "Frunk", with its driving, dubby groove and insistent chord builds, but it is at this point that any connection to the conventional approach goes out the window. "G'Zu" is littered with hip-hop samples that ride a tearing bassline, "J'roove Bon" is like an update of 2-step with its timestretched bassline and shuffling drums, while "Frunk" ploughs a path that is reminiscent of late 90s party techno, with some lithe breakbeats thrown in for good measure.

Review: Serious party vibes abound as El Salvadorian Itchy Bastards add three new funk nuggets to their armoury. "Make Money" takes Busta to trumpet school, "Lemme Talk" looks to Clinton for some world dominance (George, not Bill) and "Roundacorna" is a deeper, jacking affair with a lolloping slap-bass riff and some lovely organ and wukka-wukka guitar twangs on the main hook.

Review: Etruria Beat founders Faraone and Agnelli deliver a excellent DJ tool release for Loco Dice's label. The title track sets the tone, its rasping percussion and insistent drums laying the basis for a series of deranged vocal samples. They keep "Last Call" instrumental, with a percussive groove rolling and filtering all the way through, supported by reverberated drums. But the duo are also clearly interested in using the human voice as an instrument and the drum-heavy "La Feria" is full of out there voices, while 'Hold It Like That' features dreamy synths and a spaced out woman intoning the track's title.

from $1.49

Review: Between them, Edinburgh-based twosome Ricky Reid and Peter Oakden have plenty of experience, with the former having previously released on Instruments of Rapture and Restless Soul. Here, they deliver a sinewy slice of hypnotic, mid-90s Chicago deeopness (think Prescription and Chez Damier) for Local Talk. The head-nodding, hip-wiggling groove takes a breather occasionally to make way for a classic piano breakdown. It's expertly done, which you'd expect given their vast production experience. Deep Space Orchestra provide the remix, making more of the delicious pianos on a similarly hypnotic version that builds towards a sweaty, all-action climax. Excellent stuff, and one of Local Talk's best for some time.
