Review: With the summer moving rapidly through it's paces, Moveltraxx have once again delivered a heavyweight selection, this time launching their awesome 'TRAXXOLOGY' compilation, exploring a sunshine-fueled collection of dancefloor originals. We see the project explore numerous different areas, from the heavily sampled vocal chops of DJ Tameil's 'Rude Boy Giddy Up and Mighty Mark & TT The Artist's 'Say Yeah', through to the more disco-laced drives of Dudley Slang's 'Glaiatoreyz' or Househead Samira's 'Radio Safia'. The range is very impressive across this wicked 15 track collection, with our favourites including the warm chord lines of Lil 'Tal's Radio edit version of Paul Johnson's 'Dance With Me', next to the glittering landscapes of Kozee's 'Tropical Pizza'. Awesome work!
Ikonika - "I Know (That You Are The 1)" (feat Dam-Funk) - (4:06) 64 BPM
Jessy Lanza - "You & Me" - (4:10) 53 BPM
Review: The ten year celebrations from Hyperdub continue apace here with the second of four planned label compilations arriving with the stated intention of casting "some sunshine" over the label's sometimes "dread filled reputation". Arriving on just one disc this time round as opposed to two, the fourteen tracks nevertheless features productions from DVA, Morgan Zarate, Cooly G, Jessy and Burial among other Hyperdub regulars, who are joined by the vocal talents of Dam-Funk, Fatima and others. Perhaps most exciting is the inclusion of an unreleased track from the defunct partnership of Dean Blunt & Inga Copeland; fans of the latter will also be intrigued by Kode9?s "Lies Lies", which features the talents of Inga in her new solo guise, copeland.
Mark Ernestus - "Mark Ernestus Meets BBC Version" - (9:13) 79 BPM
Review: Shangaan Shake is the complete document of the remixes Honest Jon's commissioned to pit leftfield Western artists against the Shangaan electro of South Africa. It's an all-star cast, from house heroes to dubstep tinkerers. Mark Ernestus turns out an elegant slice of dub techno, while DJ Rashad and RP Boo throw down a sweaty slice of footwork action, and Peverelist plies a typically complex rhythm at a slower, seductive tempo. Out of all the remixers, Theo Parrish is the one unafraid to maintain the original BPM, which leaves his remix stark against the multitude of other tracks. Essential.
