Review:
A number of different influences come together on San Jose Del Mar. In the case of Alejandro Vivanco & Dorian Chavez's "Ghost in the Machine", it's the rolling rhythms of London tech-house, the metallic, whiplash percussion of new school techno and the stepping rhythms of UK bass. "Walfkfunk" takes its cues from a less diverse set of influences, but here too the stabbing keys and vocal snippets sound like they are derived from early noughties minimal house, set to a contemporary rolling groove. Meanwhile, Chavez' tracks with Mobius Strum focus on modern tool house rhythms, but with a difference; "MAE" is pepper with insistent vocal snippets and the muffled vocals and acidic tinges of "Rainforest" are more exciting than the standard DJ fare.

Review:
Bunte Bummler delivers a range of moods and styles on Come Together. At one of the spectrum, there's "Chance To Follow". Its rumbling, menacing synth underpins a muffled male vocal from the kind of sexually charged individual who frequented the Sound Factory. "Baby Get Lost" is much gentler and more mysterious-sounding with a focus on gypsy fiddles and breathy melodies. The title track is more upbeat still: over a sinewy funk bassline and shuffling garage drums, an unnamed female, despite her suspicions about her partner's activities, admits that 'you always find some little way to let me know you love me'. Apart from some quality underground house, isn't that the kind of assurance that we all want?

Review:
Carlos Sanchez teases new shapes and possibilities out of the DJ tool approach on Changes. "Outer Side" is all hissing percussion and raw, jacking beats, but midway through, ghostly chords lend it an ethereal feeling. By contrast, "Breaking Bread" is an earthy affair, with Sanchez merging a jacking, acid-fuelled rhythm with a sleazy vocal talking about money laundering. "My New Toy" is the most conventional cut here, featuring shuffling drums and ringing bells, but it's hard to believe Sanchez' claim that "I'm Just An Ordinary Guy", especially when the assertion is being made against a backdrop of surging, ebm-style bass drops.

Review:
Gorge is no stranger to 8bit Records and he delivers yet another groove laced ep for the Mannheim imprint. The repetitive nature of "Drip Drop" means its kick-snare-clap combo remains in the track for its entirety, albeit for one EQ fill three-quarters of the way through. Soft deep house chords and light strings couch themselves nicely into the mix rounding out an extremely danceable production. "DWTG" employs a funky bassline and stylised "I'm down with the crew" and "I want you to hear this" vocal shout outs that encourage those at the bar to make their way to the dance floor. The stabby bassline of "Changin'" is not to dissimilar from "DWTG" and it too employs vocals - this time of the female variety - capping off a relatively minimal release, which if in the right hands has the potential to work any club into a sweaty frenzy.

Review:
One of the most popular post-minimal house producers impresses again with this Latin-fuelled release. Mendo sets himself apart from typical tool house on "Cuate". Boasting the languid Spanish vocals of Yvan Genkins, its dark drums are also laced with trippy squiggles and out there riffs. The title track, which features Andre Butano on vocals, is deeper and more cerebral, with the rolling groove lent a sense of funk by the organic bongo samples. Finally, Miguel Lobo and Andre Butano's take on "Gringo" is less dense than the original, with lighter beats but an equally rolling groove guaranteeing serious mileage on the dance floor.

Review:
The talent demonstrated on a series of releases for the Freerange imprint by Pezzner is given further room to shine with the producer's debut drop for the 8bit imprint. The title track "Mesh" sets the tone for what to expect, with tough, tribal rhythms and a bumping bassline the core around which Pezzner draws in hypnotic vocal hooks and slick Rhodes flutters, building proceedings up to the inevitable and oh so very effective explosion of the main kick groove! "Introductions" provides a deeper accompaniment, serving up smudged textures of rhythm over a stripped back throb, whilst intermittent vocal yearns which are dipped in glitch add an emotive sheen. Up next, "Circles" splays playful vocal loops over a bouncing house rhythm embellished with more delightful touches of Rhodes whilst Zepp01 finishes off proceedings with a nice bubbling, colourful remix of "Mesh".
