Review: Heist Recordings' 'The Round Up' - an annual mini-album in which label artists remix each other - reaches its tenth volume. As usual, there's plenty to set the pulse racing throughout. Dam Swindle channel the spirit of Victor Simonelli's early '90s NYC house productions on a fine version of Cinthie's 'Won't You Take Me', Krewcial opts for a bouncy, piano-rich 'classic house' revision of Orlando Voorn's 'High', and DJ Sneak re-imagines Dam Swindle's 'Soul's Lament' as a rolling, string-stab laden slice of rolling Chicago chunkiness. Further highlights include Crackazat's loose-limbed, sun-soaked and synth solo-heavy revision of Krewcial's 'Owo', Cinthie turns DJ Sneak's 'Full Cycle' into an acid-and-filter heavy peak-time loop jam, and Orlando Voorn and Marina Trench join forces on a deep, drowsy and woozy rework of UC Beatz's 'Make Me Feel'.

Review: As her relatively recently Heist and Aus releases proved, Cinthie Christl has become an expert at creating nostalgic-sounding tracks that offer subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) references to US house cuts of the 1990s. On this debut Shall Not Fade outing, Christl continues in this vein, first via the rolling beats, undulating analogue bass and spacey musical motifs of 'Tough Times'. She then joins the dots between late '90s Strictly Rhythm dubs and bouncy New Jersey garage grooves ('Shuffle & Swing'), before laying down a stellar slice of dubby and sub-heavy deep house hypnotism ('Bossa').'Time To F', a breezy and sun-splashed affair marked out by steppers-influenced deep house beats, squelchy bass and restless riffs, rounds of the EP in fine style.

Review: Cinthie Cristl knows a thing or two about classic sounding, peak-time-ready house music, as her releases for Aus and fantastic DJ Kicks mix proved. Predictably, her Heist Recordings debut is similarly on point and packed with nostalgic, retro-futurist house treats. The dreamy chords, jazzy synth-bass and rushing piano stabs of turn-of-the-90s Italo-house appear to have been the inspiration for opener 'Won't U Take Me', while the accurately titled 'Piano Heaven' is a warehouse ready, hands-in-the-air treat for all those who crave rushing, loved-up goodness. That track gets a chunkier, weightier and more energetic makeover by St David, while 'Masterplan' is a high-octane tribute to Dance Mania style ghetto-house with a timeless deep house twist.

Review: Cinthie Christl has released some of her most potent, club-ready material on Aus Music, not least terrific debut album City Lights. Her latest EP for the imprint - her first for nearly two years - is another strong effort that harks back to the halcyon days of house music in the 1990s. Lead cut 'Light a Fire' is particularly nostalgic, with Christl peppering a classic-sounding bassline and shuffling deep house drums in spacey, stretched-out chords and echo-laden piano riffs. She reaches for bold, ear-catching riffs on the bumpin', stabbing bassline-sporting headiness of 'Keeping Strong', before opting for a deeper, more sub-heavy sound on the hypnotic, glassy-eyed excellence of 'Everything'.

Review: The joy of the digital download editions of the DJ Kicks series is not so much the included DJ mix - which, of course, is invariably excellent - but the accompanying full-length, DJ friendly tracks gathered by that edition's selector, in this case Elevate Berlin record store owner (and fine producer) Cinthie Christl. Her mostly club-friendly selections are little less than superb, moving from driving, organ-and-bass-rich U.S-style house (Terrence Parker, Niles Cooper, Sandil, her own exclusive 'Organ (DJ Kicks)') and life-affirming piano-house (Ruff Stuff), to deep two-step (Camion Bazar), slamming techno-funk (Anil Aras), dusty techno (Adriyano), deep breakbeat wooziness (Ben Hauke) and deep, dreamy acid jack ('Anna Wall'). In other words, it's a blindingly good selection - and Cinthie's DJ mix is wildly entertaining, too.

Review: Shall Not Fade rounds off its busiest year to date with a sixth anniversary compilation that's packed to the rafters with previously unreleased tracks from its now sizable family of artists. Also reflective of the sounds showcased by Shall Not Fade's various sub-labels and offshoots, the 24-track set confidently strides between deep two-step (Black Loops), saucer-eyed ambient jungle (Kessler), colourful deep house (Lis Sarocca), lo-fi jack tracks (Cinthie), loopy disco-house (Adelphi Music Factory), jazz-funk flavoured house warmth (Felipe Gordon), analogue-rich broken beat (Yosh), post-UKG heaviness (DJ Crisps), jaunty and jazzy 4/4 garage (DJ Swagger) and the kind of smile-inducing, huggable dancefloor goodness that defies simple categorization (Tilman and Phonk D).

Review: Cinthie Christl's 2020 debut album, Skylines - City Lights, was arguably one of the best dancefloor-focused full-length excursions of recent years, with a distinctly retro-futurist vibe that undoubtedly chimed with listeners. There's a similarly timeless and feelgood flex about the Berlin-based producer's first EP for Shall Not Fade. After opening with the sparkling, smile-inducing piano house revivalism of 'Offenbach Anthem', Christl confidently bounces between swinging deep house chunkiness ('13 Steps to Heaven'), organ-powered, sub-heavy New Jersey garage goodness (EP highlight 'Oh No No No', which sounds like a late-night basement anthem in waiting) and bumpin' brilliance ('What You Mean To Me', whose main attractions are a seriously squelchy bassline and superbly sweaty drums).

Review: 'City Lights' was one of the standout cuts from Cinthie Christl's 2020 debut album Skylines - City Lights, so it's no surprise to see it appear as a single with a swathe of brand-new mixes. The original version, which kicks off the EP, is little less than a synthesizer symphony, with rising synth-strings dancing atop a mid-80s, arpeggio-style synth-pop bassline and Please-era Pet Shop Boys beats. Gerd Janson utilises many of these elements on his Tuff City Kids style Italo-disco rework, before Damino von Eckert re-frames it as a melodious chunk of synth-heavy techno warmth. Perhaps best of all though is the Wanderist remix, which brilliantly re-imagines the track as a bustling slab of deep space electro with a Kraftwerkian twist.

Review: Having impressed earlier in the year via the colossal 'Bassline' single and Skylines-City Lights album, Cinthie returns to her 803 Crystal Grooves record label with a trio of typically high-quality cuts. She begins in fine form via 'From The Vaults', a tough, chunky, bouncy and hypnotic techno number smothered in early Floating Points style synth chords and plenty of deep house nous, before reaching for sweaty, carefree drum machine grooves, sparkling piano riffs and low-slung bass on 'Jack Your Head Higher'. As good as both are, our pick of the bunch is closing cut 'Boss Lady in a Men's World', where short, disco-influenced electronics, mangled vocal samples and ragged acid-style motifs leap above a weighty, up-beat electro groove.

Review: Given that she has been releasing music since the dawn of the century, we were rather surprised to find that "Skylines-Citylights" is Cinthie Christl's debut album. It is of course something of a vibrant, action-packed treat, with the long-serving DJ, producer, label boss and record shop owner combining elements from a multitude of interconnected genres (think Chicago house, ambient house, UK garage, acid, electronic disco, piano house and rave-era old school flavours) to create a string of timeless, joyous cuts. Highlights are plentiful and include - but are no way limited to - the glassy-eyed bliss of "808 The Meme Queen", the sub0heavy sweatiness of "Concentrate", the warehouse-ready future anthems "Bassline" and "Calling", and the hard-to-pigeonhole brilliance of stunning opener "Skyline".

Review: Cinthie Christl's last outing for Aus Music, 2019's "Mesmerizing EP", was a surprisingly disco-fired affair, mixing sounds associated with the resurgent 1970s style with her usual house and techno trademarks. Christl's latest two-tracker for Will Saul's label looks to the sweat-soaked hedonism of the rave era for inspiration, with title track "Bassline" offering a rushing romp rich in glassy-eyed piano house stabs, ear-catching female vocal snippets and crunchy drum machine beats. Virtual flipside "803 The Meme Queen" is a deeper and more musically considered take on the same retro-futurist house vibe, where a bold acid bassline, echo-laden additional percussion hits and starry chords catch the ear.

Review: With too much good music to release in one collection, Toolroom present the second volume of its coveted Ibiza compilation. The list of artists included runs like a roll call of the most exciting producers in electronic music right now with highlights such as: ascendant Brit Weiss on the uplifting vocal house anthem "Let Me Love You", Bristolian bass house hero Will Clarke doing his thing on "Tricky", the ever impressive Eli Brown nailing that peak time vibe on "Always", Hannah Wants getting deep down and dirty on the Kevin Saunderson sampling "Love Somebody" and Toronto's finest DJ Sneak & Demuir doing their thing on "Good Ol' Days". Add to this three continued mixes that cover Poolside, Club and Afterclub, and you have a collection that encapsulates the electronic spirit of Ibiza like no other.

Review: Berlin native Cinthie has been a fixture on the city's scene since the 90s. Known for her work with Beste Modus and Elevate Berlin, last year saw her launch her 803 Crystal Grooves label, from whom this is the third release. 'Australian Summer' is a sunrise-friendly deep houser with delicate synth flutterings, while 'Infinity' is a more driving affair but with a similarly uplifting, Balearic feel. 'This Bomb Is Mine' tops tribal beats with warping synths and what sounds like an FX-mangled sax line, and then finally 'Rave Like No One Is Watching' is a more full-on affair with breakbeats, pounding 4/4s and some very, very rave-y synth action.

Review: Cinthie Christl continues to go from strength to strength, with this impressive return to Aus Music following hot on the heels of a trio of versatile and club-ready EPs on her own Crystal Grooves imprint. Intriguingly, all three tracks on the "Mesmerizing" EP look to disco for inspiration, combining Salsoul style drum hits and sweeping orchcestration with bumpin' bass, vocal samples and drum machine kicks inspired by the Halcyon days of New York house. It's a winning formula all told; check, for example, the swirling samples and peak-time-at-the-Paradise-Garage flavas of "Dancing" and the undulating strings, heavy analogue bass and Todd Edwards style vocal cut-ups of the outstanding title track.

Review: A stalwart of the burgeoning Berlin scene for several years, Cinthie is the DJ and producer behind top labels such as Beste Modus (with Steven ain't leavin) Unison Wax and We R House. She brings her infectious sound to Aus Music here on the Trust EP, where she once again looks to classic US house aesthetics but polishes them with an vibrant and modern edge. From the hypnotic bounce of the title track and its lovely marimba led melody, the funked/up polyrhythmic groove of "Lost At Sea" and its irrestibalt Afro influence or the striped back groove tool "Hip Swing" that is perfect tackle for the afterhours - Cinthie brings the goods once again.

Review: For their sixth instalment, the Bad Klosterlausnitz based Muna Musik return with their biggest lineup yet boasting the current creme de la creme of house music from their own soil and beyond. Right heroes on here, such as Beste Modus boss Cinthie with the bumpin' classic house journey "Hurt Me", Frankfurt Rhein-Main legend Christian Burkhardt is also on top form with the trippy, latin infused minimal house of "Hola". For something dead set on the main room at peak time, Spanish scene hero Hector Couto has you covered with his new school antics. The tough rolling groove of "Ciroco" really satisfies, as does the deep melodic tech house of Luca Donzelli's "Not Ordinary".

Review: It seems as if 15 years have just flown by since Berlin institution Watergate first opened their doors at the base of the famous Oberbaumbrucke, overlooking the River Spree and where long queues run down the street every weekend to get into one of the best clubs in the world. To celebrate their journey over the last decade and a half, they have put together a special anniversary release of 25 new, exclusive and formerly unreleased tracks. Residents of the superclub all appear, such as Hamburg native Matthias Meyer who teams up with Ryan Davis on the evocative "Hope", famed local duo Tiefschwarz deliver the slow burning and moody tech house of "Control", Sweden's La Fleur (of Power Plant fame) delivers the acidic bump and shuffle of "Femton" and former Stattbad resident and Beste Modus boss Cinthie gets deep on the classic house sound of "Hatschi Hatschi" which has a whole heap of swing to it!
