Review: Meanwhile back in Bristol, DJ Die teams up with singer Jenna G to pay tribute to classic soul. On the surface "1000 Soul Singers" initially comes across a well-executed slice of radio-friendly soul-pop: all caramel vocals, retro strings and clean, quantized beats. Of course this being a Gutterfunk release, the formula is given a twist with the addition of some accelerate DnB beats in the chorus. Remix-wise we get deep, choppy hip-hop (Addison Groove), tribal house (Jus Now) and hypey footwork-tinged DnB (Break).

Moag - (7:29) 108 BPM

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.

from $1.49

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.

Lies (instrumental) - (7:02) 118 BPM

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.

Review: A very strong release from Sound Pellegrino, as French producer Maelstrom follows up big tunes for Dirtybird and Boys Noize Records with this trio of electro-bass gold. "USSR" is a deliciously warped mix of huge industrial kicks matched with shifting acapella shots and some charging synth work, while "House Music" ups the bpms a little and rocks a minimal booty bass beat and hazy Detroit stabs. Staying on a Miami tip, "Pool Chicks" recalls recent tunes from Mele and Canblaster with a delirious set of arpeggiated leads married to a thick minimal bassline and kicks.

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.

Played by: Alexander Robotnick, Pete Herbert

Review: Tim Paris is an old hand at forthright, electro and new wave influenced house, though rarely has he made anything quite as robust as "Golden Ratio". Featuring the slick vocals of Sonar Kollektiv and BBE regular Georg Levin, the track is formidably fuzzy - all Joy Division-ish guitars, Cabaret Voltaire electronics and kick-driven house grooves. It's curious, but very appealing in a post-punk kind of way. Villanova and John Tejada remix, with the latter vocal and instrumental versions of his warm, glistening, tech-tinged deep house mix. Villanova, meanwhile, goes for a glitchier, wonkier vibe on his shuffling, deep tech-house take.

Review: Stimming returns to his hometown Dynamic after a ludicrous string of EPs in the last few tears, this time in the form of an LP. The guy is simply a deep house don, and his tracks share an uncanny similarity with many of the great US producers who so boldly identified the genre over twenty years ago. "The Origin" starts things off with a puritan house flex but the LP gradually moves on to more unstable and unexpected territories such as on the piano solo that is "Cherry Bud"; the neo-Detroitian vibes of "Die Machtigen"; or even the UK bass laden swirl of "When I'm Drunk" - a piece that is sure to cause some serious damage on the floor.

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.

Review: This is by far and away the best thing James Holden's released for some time. Sounding not unlike a fusion of Steve Summers' Confused House project, Kelpe and Caribou (fitting, since he dons his Daphni guide to remix), "Renata" builds on a wave of fuzzy, crystalline synthesizer appreggios - underpinned by a lone drum machine - before unleashing some dizzying jazz drums. The Daphni remix takes the track in a different direction, creating a sparse, clicky, atmospheric beast that makes great use of Holden's loose live drums and some choice vocal samples. Steve Moore, on the other hand, opts to focus on the more beautiful elements of the original, turning it into a dreamy slice of synthwave bliss.

Played by: Shadow Dancer

Review: Canadian techy house maestro HRDVSION (pronounced 'Hardvision', obviously) has always been interested in the experimental side of dance music. Not content with simply learning the tricks of the trade, he admits often that he prefers to constantly try for more difficult, more intriguing ways to approach his sound. This four tracker opens up the listener to his way of thinking in much more detail than a single track could. Sure he aims for the dancefloor, but can't electronic music be a bit deeper, more artistic than that? The acid-trip synths on "Apocalypse6" and the hard techy influences on "Feel You're Fading" make this a buy on sight.

Review: Presenting some of the highlights from the forthcoming Crossing Wires compilation, James Teej's My Favourite Robot stable gets busy on some wax with sturdy turns from The Revenge, Timo Maas and Teej himself. The Revenge's "Maia" is a sumptuous odyssey of yearning synths, arpeggiated sexiness and that simmering disco spirit that embodies all his work. Timo Maas meanwhile is in a lean mood, riding a repeating bass synth riff and keeping the drums to a bare minimum. Teej is in the spiciest mood out of the lot, riding a slow groove with maximum quirk worked into the space, building on a stiff rhythmic template with ever more freaky synth work.

Review: Paganini drops a heavy, functional EP for Sven Vath's label. The title track sets the tone for the release, a dark, slamming affair characterised by heavy, concrete beats and hissing percussion. A similar approach applies on "Fire In My Arms", but here the central riff drones like a strike craft moving in to drop its deadly payload.
"Polyester" is more straightforward, as a rolling groove drops and builds again, powered by metallic drums. "Hot" sees Paganini revisit the approach on the title track with insistent vocal samples littered in the arrangement, while "Parallel" features a vocal snippet intoning "I'm stretched" over a belching acid line.

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.

Wobble - (7:01) 124 BPM

from $1.49

Review: Amazingly, it's 15 years since Isolee first tickled our fancy with the deliciously hypnotic and pleasingly melodic micro-house anthem "Beau Mot Plage". He's tried many things in the years since, from stripped-back minimalism to semi-organic loop techno. "Allowance" his first full solo EP for nearly three years, has echoes of his glory days. The darting, fluid "Wobble", for example, employs similar synth stabs of shuffling grooves, while "You Could Do Your Memories" is as heart aching and emotion-rich as any of his Playhouse-era classics. Best of all, though, is "Allowance", a sparse but beautifully appointed slice of deep-tronica underpinned by a loose but sturdy groove.

Review: Fences is the long awaited new album from Dial poster boy John Roberts, arriving three years after the Ohio born producer's hugely accomplished and widely lauded debut LP, Glass Eights. In the period between albums Roberts has busied himself with a smattering of remixes and the odd 12", though his primary concern outside of touring has been co-editing The Travel Almanac, a high end magazine exploring "travelling and temporary habitation for an increasingly sophisticated and mobilized generation of travellers". Not your typical techno producer then. The ten tracks that form Fences were conceived and recorded during Roberts' worldwide travels, and later sequenced and mixed in NYC and offer a further refinement on the combination of sound design, sample research and contemporary club music that characterised last year's Paper Frames 12".
