Review:
Given the 1990s style 20:20 Vision label artwork employed on this release, it would be safe to say that Audiojack have gained plenty of inspiration from the Leeds' imprint's now distant past. From start to finish, the Get Serious EP sounds like the sort of record that could have been made in the 1990s by the label's trio of founders - Huggy, Ralph Lawson and Carl Finlow. With clear influences from Prescription Records, early tech-house, bumpin' New York grooves and dubby Nottingham deep house, Audiojack have made an EP that sounds both curiously current and decidedly old. It certainly makes for an entertaining four-tracker.

Review:
Mainstays of 20:20 Vision, Audiojack return with a full-bodied three tracker of tech house delights, starting with aplomb on the peak-time belter "No Equal Sides". There's a sugary-sweet melodic hook that rises and falls in the comparatively dark mix of raw drum hits and throbbing sub bass to create an alluring nocturnal blend which begs for you to raise your hands in appreciation. Changing shape as the track ploughs on, the brief moments of daylight make this an unstoppable club smasher. On "Tunnel Vision" the pair enlist Stee Downes for some assistance and opt for a more mellow, broken beat affair, while "In Principle" embraces that broken flavour further with another restrained but devoutly cheeky party juicer.

Review:
Cynics will tell you that remix albums are a bit of a con - an exercise in repackaging previously released reworks - but occasionally they're worth picking up. This collection of recent and vintage reworks of Crazy P tracks thankfully falls into the latter category, delivering a mix of classic re-cuts, previously unheard tweaks and previously promo-only mixes. Some of the more Balearic and quietly downtempo tweaks stand out, not least Appleblim's woozily soulful touch-up of "Changes" and Wolf + Lamb's deliciously wide-eyed, downtempo take on "Wecanonlybewhoweare". There's also a chance to revisit some Grade-A club re-fixes from Still Going (whose tough-but-grandiose nu-disco take on "Caught Up" still sounds fresh), Huxley and Bonar Bradberry.

Review:
This latest missive from comeback kid Freak Seven (AKA producer Naveed Akthar) is not so much surreal, but utterly bonkers. "Surreal" is a wildly imaginative chunk of dancefloor madness that somehow manages to fuse the low-end, acid-era bounce of Adonis, the slick electro/techno of Random Factor and the verbal nonsense of Foremost Poets. It's borderline insane, but fantastic to boot. Remixes come from Sebo K, who provides a bumpin' vocal version and a brilliantly sparse dub, and Dario Zenker. His sparkling, futurist mixes - part techno, part deep house, part electro - are arguably the highlight of an excellent EP.

Review:
Having won some fans with his Hypercolour release, Huxley now leaps to 20:20 Vision to dish out more smooth, feel-good house music. On "Box Clever" a rubbery bass line and steady drum machine beats meet with cheery piano samples for a track that could become synonymous with outdoor grooving in the sunshine. "Atonement" is more inwardly focused, not least in the filtered synth that lends a sexy late-night feel to the track. "Out Of My Mind" switches things up nicely with a cheeky broken beat bouncing off smatterings of Detroit chords for a surprising and addictive groove.

Review:
Rising star on the European tech house circuit Jay Bliss makes the leap to 20:20 Vision for this sturdy workout that keeps the beat pared down to a crisp strut, letting a warm bassline take the lead for the track's hook. The real treat is in the remix, as Sweden's finest Skudge dissemble the original and re-emerge with a thoroughly immersive slice of industrial tinted deep techno. The wriggling beat doesn't let up throughout, while the degraded pad morphs and mutates over the duration to an utterly devastating end. There's an organic beating heart at work in this version, and it lets a whole lot of light into the murky basement of the Skudge sound.

Review:
After impressing as part of Belfast-based duo Jet Project (alongside fellow Shine resident Timmy Stewart), John McIver goes solo with a decidedly old skool EP for 2020 Vision. All four tracks ripple with classic house flavour, from the delay-laden snares, woozy synths and razor-sharp vocal sample of the near-anthemic title track, to the basement-baiting riffage and intoxicating chords of "Doubting Tom". The 2020 Vision remix of "Let Go" - presumably by Ralph Lawson, though it doesn't say - revisits the early days of the label with a classic, Chicago-influenced deep house groove, while Jordan Peak goes all Lone on his deliciously bass-heavy rework. Recommended.

Review:
Austria's first lady of house music is on the up. Having previously released solid deep and tech-house on a variety of small labels, she's now playing in the big leagues thanks to this extended EP for 2020 Vision. It's easy to see why Ralph Lawson was so keen to sign it. All three original tracks have a tactile fluidity that recalls the best work of Seth Troxler and company, with "Wanna Be There" also providing the obligatory classic US garage references. Although the bassy, strangely wobbly "Calm Before The Storm" is commendable, the real killer is the funk-fuelled title track. That's backed by two remixes, the deeper Purple Hills tweak being our pick.

Review:
The reinvention of Victoria "Little Boots" Hesketh continues with a second digital EP of sweet, atmospheric deep house produced by Baunz, Maya Jane Coles and James Ford (Simian Mobile Disco). The first installment of Superstitious Heart, featuring the original version, was arguably one of 2020 Vision's biggest smashes in recent years. Here, it gets remixes by Leeds lads PBR Streetgang, who turn it into a woozy, string-drenched Balearic disco-meets-deep house shuffler. Almost as good is the Baunz-produced "Whatever Sets You Free", as good a chunk of tech-tinged deep house-pop as you're likely to find this year. His dancefloor-friendly Dub is worth checking, too.

Review:
It's been over a year since Ossie's last solo record, and he returns here in fine form on 2020 Vision. The first two tracks see him bring his group Black Orange Juice for two vocal cuts, "Supercali" which riffs on Mary Poppins (it's actually quite good, trust us) wrapping up UKF and African pop into one tidy package, and "Lovecrazy", which combines Andres style string sampling with a deep percussive workout. Up next, "Housedabass" combines layers of neon stabs over deep pads, taking the standard club template and riffing over it with joyful abandon. Not much has changed in a year, but that's just how we like it - highly recommended.

Review:
With all their brilliant musical shapeshifting, it can sometimes be hard to keep up with Leeds lads PBR Streetgang. Having flirted with both disco and deep house of late - usually both at once - At Dez sees them looking fairly and squarely towards the dancefloor at Basics, with an EP of forthright house treats. "At Dez" itself is typical Yorkshire house - bassy, stripped back, hypnotic and impressively robust - while "2Square" makes mischief with squeaky vocal cut-ups, gargantuan bass and a dash of old skool jack. "Make Your Mind Up" impressively fuses soulful shuffle and touchy-feely synth bass, while "Sexy Time" bounces along on a wave of rubbery bass and voodoo samples.

Review:
Ah, the delights of the 'mystery' alter ego. Brazilian Roscoe Sledge is, by all accounts, rather well known as a techno producer under his real name, but has decided to keep people guessing with a new alter-ego. Oh, and a different sound. You see, these four tracks for 20:20 Vision combine a myriad of influences - Visionquest-inspired house, acid, tech-house, twinkling deepness, the fluid synths of nu-disco, the old darkroom style of Roach Motel and the robust pulse of techno - to create wonky dancefloor cuts that defy easy categorization. Our pick is probably the wide-eyed intergalactic funk of "Mis En Scene", but they're all pretty tasty.

Review:
We can clearly hear signs of musical development in "Grey Area", the latest single from long-time 2020 Vision producer Simon Baker. Rather than the simple-but-effective, electrofunk-influenced grooves of old, "Grey Area" offers carefully sculpted deep house laden with emotion-rich piano loops, jazz breakdowns and teary vocal samples. It's both pleasantly surprising and, well, rather good - certainly one of his best to date. Remix-wise, Steve Bug emphasizes the jazz elements on his alien-sounding rework (check those sci-fi synths), whilst Burnski & Robert James provide a bumpin' late night rework that should tickle the tastebuds of regular 2020-watchers. Recommended.
