Review:
With the sun finally making its presence felt in the UK, attention will surely turn towards festival season and those sneaky open-air parties we all love so much. As its title suggests, "Sunshine" is aimed squarely at open air dancing, ideally when the sun is just beginning to disappear beyond the horizon. There's a sweet vocal, a baggy, sunlit vibe (to the original version, at least), and some deliciously jazzy keys that just scream "boat party". Hidden amongst the multitude of alternative versions is a second, untitled remix of "Sunshine" that bases the action around a driving but rubbery disco bassline and heavier chords. It's this heads-down, hands-skywards rework that most impresses.

Review:
This EP from the previously little known Habischman is jam-packed, so we'll leave the niceties and crack straight on. The title track is a curious concoction, all space pop synths, folksy vocals and vintage synth-pop chug. It might not grab you on the first listen, but give it a few spins and you'll soon be hooked (even if the vocal sounds like it's not been produced properly). Bonus cut "Closer" offers a more straight-up nu-disco flex with deep house nous, guaranteeing floor-filling capabilities. There's a bulging remix package, too, with Martin Dawson's bleep-heavy atmospheric deep house rub and Douglas Greed's bleep techno-goes-pop excursion most impressing.

HOLLIS P MONROE feat OVERNITE

Review:
Montreal-based, Philadelphia-raised Hollis P Monroe is something of a deep house veteran, boasting a career that stretches back to the 1990s. His particular strength is soulful, atmospheric house. In previous years, that would have meant Defected-ish funkiness. These days, it means shuffling, melancholic groovery, twisted P-funk synths and deep atmospherics. "If You Have A Doubt" is his strongest for some time, and benefits greatly from a perfectly judged vocal from Overnite. The remix package is very strong, too. Mario Basanov provides a chiming, bittersweet European deep house take, while Argy delivers two chunky big room versions full of spiraling melodies and booming basslines.

Review:
If Kompakt-style emotive techno is your thing, then you'd be well advised to check out Shape Your Life. The original version boasts a stripped back rhythm with delightful toy town melodies and an androgynous vocal that sounds like Fischerspooner jamming with Michel Mayer. The remixes are more dancefloor friendly; the Fusty Delights take features tight drums and a niggling bassline and the Downtown Party version focuses on low-slung rhythms and the kind of 'oohs' and 'aahs' that LCD Soundsystem specialised in. Finally, Daniel Bortz gives the techno DJs something to play with, impressing with the dubby beats and ominous riffs of his heavier take.

Review:
There's not much previous work to judge Larse's new EP against, but on the whole the Nightshift EP tells of a producer with a knack for putting together deep house tracks with genuine quirk. All three tracks work perfectly well, with the smoky funk of last track "Jus Keep Rockin" standing out to our ears.

Review:
Faced with a deluge of ultra-serious industrial techno, Noir & Haze have pushed in the opposite direction. "Around" is a spacey but catchy arrangement, its billowing chords sweeping along the melancholic vocals. Solomun from Diynamic provides two top-quality remixes which turn the original into a dubby groove laced with trancey riffs, while the extended instrumental version is more techno-centric, glistening with shiny synth solos. However, it's the acoustic version of "Around" that will win mainstream support. The vocals are transformed into the campest falsetto this side of the Vatican's Eunuch Choir and the string-led, organic groove is nothing short of seductive.

Review:
Berlin-based vocalist and producer Davis had reached the cusp of dance music's mainstream with his artist albums on Punkt and Kitty-Yo, but this collaboration with Noir should give him the push he needed. The vocals sound more robust and darker than his sometime frail outpourings and are reminiscent of Depeche Mode's Dave Gahan at his most pensive; coupled with Noir's pulsing bass, lyrics like 'we're scared of being found out' pushes Davis into a darker but ultimately more accessible place. The duo haven't forgotten the dance floor and the club version sees them maintain their underground credibility with a glitchy, acidic reshape.

Review:
This is one of those records that just won't die. Originally released in 1999, "Lucky Star" has been remixed and re-released on numerous occasions since. This latest reissue notably features a decidedly touchy-feely rework from German deep houser Solomun. Given the original's funky house credentials, it's rather nice to hear a version that brings out the soulfulness of Ron Carroll's vocal without going overly "big". Hot Since 82 also provide a solid remix - this time layering up the drums over a languid synth bass groove - while there are two slick versions from Kolombo. Of these, it's the acid-flecked simplicity of the 3030 Dub that really stands out.

Review:
Old hands Tapesh and Maxmiljan join forces once again, this time for a six-track EP of warming deep house sounds. Opener "Be Down" laces a classic Status IV boogie vocal over a deep but jaunty backing, while "When We Were Young" fixes classic late night riffs and vocal samples to energetic, boompty-ish beats. "Do It Again" is a little reminiscent of classic darkroom garage given a 2012 makeover, while "Stole My Love" can't decide if it's a hypnotic, late night shuffler or sweaty, arms-raised raver. "Haunter" is similarly confused, but makes a better fist of it by again pinching a classic electrofunk-era vocal and whacking it over some formidable drums. "Go Ahead", meanwhile, is the tightest and most well thought-out track of the lot.

Review:
Joining us in doffing our caps to Danish DJ/producer Noir, whose enduring label celebrates five years in the only way it knows how - with a compilation highlighting the imprint's delicious back catalogue. 5 Years Of Noir Music showcases some of the finest slices of deep, minimal house music that positively drips with emotion; check the uplifting Nicolas Masseyeff remix of Hot Since 82's "Let I Ride", and Manuel Tur's killer refix of Larse's deep soul jam "So Long" for just two examples, but in all honesty picking out highlights is an exercise in futility as the entire package is just so strong.
