Review:
'Click', 'glitch' and 'minimal' have become dirty words, but there is a refreshing lack of navel gazing on this release. Instead, Olivia delivers a sexy underground groove on "Piano Piano", which is characterised by sensuous piano keys and a swinging rhythm. The title track and "Jungle Dub" both see Olivia opt for rhythmic tracks, but in latter's case, the drums are loose enough to avoid sounding like a typical DJ tool track. On a different tact altogether is "Ronda", a jacking house groove in the style of classic Derrick Carter and Luke Solomon, albeit one that features a jarring electronic riff. Irrespective of labels or titles, this release shows that good music will always rise to the top.

Review:
The title track sees Casarano effectively use acid influences in a contemporary sound. The 303 lines niggle and curl their way around heavy drums and a rolling, tool-ish rhythm, lending a trippy feeling to a sound that can sometimes feel functional. Casarano is in more musical form with "Dreamer", as hissing percussion and heavy drums play host to mournful piano keys that add a sense of melancholia that was lacking in the title track. Finally, "Jazzy" sees the producer go out on a creative limb: the bassline is looser and rubbery and the juxtaposition between the breathy chords and the deranged menace of the squealing sax is a sound to behold.

Review:
Italian producer Benedetti hooks up with US house legend Todd Terry for a reassessment of 90s sounds on "You Can't Do This". The track's funky drum shuffle, tight percussion and looped funk guitar sample wear their influences visibly, like Roger Sanchez and Daft Punk jamming together. The only surprise elements are the drum rolls, which take their cues from the analogue techno of Woody McBride or Hardfloor. "Moody Elise" is informed by a similar period as disco samples and insistent samples like those used on Josh Wink's "I Am Ready" as Size 9 bombard the listener. By contrast, "My Mother's "Eyes" is deeper and more electronic, reminiscent of Luciano's own earlier flirtations with minimal house.

Review:
It would be lazy to suggest that the latest release on Cadenza follows a well-worn template. Indeed, while the latest missive on Luciano's label is tribal in nature, that only tells half the story. Venegas sets himself apart from the pack with the predatory bassline and tripped out vocal chanting on "Oru Mila", while the title track is all wired squelches and squiggles, amid the drummy workout. But the release's unique selling point is "Sueno Lucido", a chiming house groove, blessed with lithe metallic percussion and a weirded out jazz piano coda as it reaches its climax.

Review:
Luciano's label hits the spot again with Joyful Process. The rolling groove on the title track does much to give the typical stuttering percussion and microscopic minimal beats a sense of funk, while the repetitive, indistinct female vocal snippet will drive listeners crazy trying to work out exactly what the woman is saying. However, it's "This Broken Heart" that will garner Joyful Process a lot of attention, Once again, Laps deploy a repetitive, vocal that sounds similar to one used on an old Guerilla release. Combined with dense beats and the occasional snare roll, it has the potential to become one of the big releases of the summer.

Review:
In recent years Swiss-Chilean DJ Luciano's stock has risen to the point where he has enjoyed an Ibiza residency and has broken into the dance music mainstream. However, this release signals a move back towards the abstract minimal approach that Luciano made his mark with on Blind Behaviour. "Cachai" is still geared towards the dance floor, but its lithe, stripped back beats flit about the arrangement like sparks coming off a camp fire. At the same time, soulful vocal samples and Moog melodies enhance the track's ethereal feeling. On the flip, "Dance Unity" is a rhythm-heavy affair, but its dubbed out drums and niggling acid means it has the same otherwordly feeling as "Cachai".

Review:
Cadenza label boss Luciano unleashes the first official Vagabundos mix CD (the other one was digital-only), where he pays homage to his beloved white isle, home to his hugely popular Vagabundos parties. Boasting 23 tracks, up to four of which are often found all playing in the mix at one time, it's a mammoth journey through contemporary house music in most of it's forms. Highlights include Deetron's edit of "Bring You Up" by Romanthony and Marc Romboy Vs Kink "Don't Shake My Tree".

Review:
Just when you thought that Cadenza was all about Latin-infused tool house, Maayan Nidam's New Moon comes along to blow all such perceptions out of the water. There is a depth and resonance at play on this album sadly lacking in the vast majority of modern house. From the warm bass, atmospheric chords and lazy vocal intoning 'living in harmony' on "Harmonious Funk" to the ominous acid-led shuffle of "The Great Suspenders" and the tripped out bassy excursion that is "Undermine", Nidam pushes the form to its outer limits. When the alternative is a factory line of identikit functional releases, that kind of creativity can only be a good thing.

Review:
Patino's latest offering for Cadenza dispenses with the notion that Luciano's label is merely a Latin-fuelled tool house outlet. "Your Lips, Underwater" sees Patino lay down a throbbing bassline and nagging acid licks as a backdrop for a sultry female vocal. It's an impressive track, but it doesn't compare to "Hunter". Featuring Astrid on vocals, the backing track is stripped back and understated, making way for a fragile but seductive vocal that cries out "captured by the waking city, I'm always haunted, always haunted". It's a prelude for Patino to drop the most dramatic string and piano combination since Carl Craig's take on Beanfield's "Tides".

Review:
David Ortega doesn't sound like he comes from Switzerland, but maybe the loose tribal groove and organic drums of "Innocencia" is exactly the kind of distraction that the land-locked statelet needs. It certainly follows the same approach as previous Mendo outings for Luciano's label and on a more general level, the track's use of children's vocals takes its cues from Villalobos's "Enfants". However, the way that the seductive sax line floats languidly over the arrangement is uniquely Mendo's. On the flip, "Old School" offers another fresh perspective, with a siren riff and a Public Enemy-style hip-hop sample layered over a drummy groove.
