Review: As part of Heist Recordings' ongoing 10th birthday celebrations, label founders Dam Swindle have decided to showcase some of the 'Hidden Gems' lurking in the imprint's back catalogue. It's a smart move, because there's plenty of high-grade dancefloor heat to be found across the 15 under-celebrated tracks on show. For proof, check the squelchy synth-bass, rushing piano riffs and classic house vibes of Fouk's 'Truffles', the gorgeous sci-fi techno melodiousness of Lord of the Samurai's 'Space Designer', the sun-splashed, jazz-flecked excellence of Crackazat's 'We Know', the low-slung, drum machine driven headiness of Adesse Versions' 'Push It Along' and the drowsy, soul-flecked late-night deepness pf Marina Trench and Sabrina Bellaouel's 'Wake Up'.

Review: SlothBoogie's 'Dancing With Friends' series, a compilation strand showcasing cuts from both label artists and invited guests, has firmly established itself as 'one to watch'. Happily, the third volume in the series is as on-point as its predecessors. There's much to admire across the 16 tracks on show, with our picks of a very strong bunch including the sun-soaked deep house heat of Philippa's sample-heavy 'Chet's Vibe', the bumpin', post-hip-house hedonism of 'Take Back' by Sudden Moves, the dream house-goes-Detroit techno hypnotism of Ruff Stuff's 'Stab Culture', the deep acid house excellence of Baby Rollen's 'Study in Serenity' and the throbbing excellence of Donald Dust's 'Aftercare'. Throw in killer cuts from a couple of better-known artists - see the contributions from Demuir and the Revenge - and you've got another genuinely must-check release.

Review: Now Dam Swindle's Heist Recordings imprint is a decade old, the Dutch duo is starting to get nostalgic. We can expect a few 'Heist Classics' EPs in the months and years ahead as they raid the label's vaults for inspiration. There's much to savour on volume one, which fittingly begins with one of the pair's best-loved tunes - the now 10-year-old dusty deep house gem that is 'The Breakup'. Elsewhere, there's a chance to savour the peak-time-ready classic house rush of Detroit crew Scan 7's 'The Best Is Yet To Come', a slab of hazy sample-house hedonism from Fouk (the jazz-flecked deep house bounce of 'Kill Frenzy'), a subtly disco-fired workout from Demuir ('Werq. Feel. Gruv. Vogue'), and a lesser-known slab of deep piano-house loveliness from Adriyano ('Me And You And Her').

Review: Seven years after delivering his debut album, Demuir has finally got round to recording a follow-up. The Toronto native's brand of house is chunky, groovy, deep and funky, taking cues not only from previous collaborators such as DJ Sneak, but also those of his contemporaries that make great use of dusty samples and killer drum programming. As a result, Visions manages to work both as a collection of club-focused cuts (especially in this expanded digital edition, which boasts a number of bonus 'dubs') and an album you can listen to repeatedly from start to finish. Our picks of a pleasingly strong bunch include the fluid, disco-tinged, Hipnotic-sampling brilliance of 'Mind, Body & Soul Call Me', TUSH hook-up 'Skylar' (a superb slab of gospel-tinged soulful house) and the delicious Fred P collaboration 'Dream II'.

Review: After beginning his year with a four-track missive on Elrow Music, Kevin Pierre AKA Demuir continues his impressive run of form via another excellent EP, this time on Rawthentic. The headline attraction is undoubtedly 'I Don't F*ck Wit U', a gloriously raw and energetic number in which spoken word snippets and wild, almost psychedelic TB-303 acid lines dance atop a boisterous, techno-tempo house beat. Arguably even more pulse-quickening is the accompanying 'Dub Edit', which offers even more acid tweakery and percussive clout. Elsewhere, Hector Morales hook-up 'Days After Roma' is a druggy, earning morning dark-room roller, while 'We're All The Same' sees the Canadian producer pepper a bouncy beats with creepy chords and squelchy, mind-melting electronic motifs.

Review: Phil Weeks' long-running French house/deep house label Robsoul Recordings round up the best of their 2020 output in one high-VFM package. As per Robsoul's MO generally, you won't find a lot in the way of navel-gazing introspection or pointless, self-indulgent experimentalism here - Robsoul have always specialised in dropping beats to move your feets and this year's crop doesn't disappoint! The wonky, jazzy garage of The Mekanism's 'Signs', the raw jack of Joss Moog's 'So Good So Fresh', Demuir's strutty hip-houser 'Nice And Dutty' and Jade Cox's looping, west coast-ish 'Realise' are just some of the highlights of a fine collection.

Review: Last year Kevin Pierre AKA Demuir made headline-grabbing appearances on Hot Creations, Desolat and Robsoul Recordings. Here he belatedly kick-starts his 2020 campaign with another high profile release, this time on Kerri Chandler's Kaoz Theory imprint. The Toronto-based producer kicks things off with the sunny soulful house chunkiness of "Lusting U", where Bluey Robinson's effortlessly soulful lead vocal rides a chunky, synth bass-propelled good-time groove. It feels like a summer anthem in waiting. Just as impressive is "Espiritual", a sprightly, synth-laden slab of fireside-warm Latin house bounciness that comes in both vocal and dub mix forms.

Review: If the combo of Butler, Demuir, Flashmob and De Hey doesn't get your musical taste buds tingling then we have to ask: do you even deep house, bro? Butler and Demuir kick off a fine sampler EP with the hazy, looping 'Tropicana', an understated number topped with some chorus'd lounge-y vocal snips, while Italy's Flashmob takes us into pacier, more jacking territory with 'The Island' and its SAW-like vocal. Michel De Hey's 'Garyamoi' is an eyes-down small hours chugger with classic Chi-town stabs, before JPA channels mid-90s house vibes on the glorious 'Here Now'. Four very reliable bullets for your Saturday night disco machine gun.

Review: As is now traditional, Heist Recordings has kick-started a new year by asking their artists to remix each other. Boss men Detroit Swindle set the tone with a gorgeously positive, synth-heavy remix of Fouk's "Need My Space" before Makez re-imagines Perdu's "Sacramento" as an acid bass-propelled bounce through melodious deep house pastures and Fouk adds a little loose-limbed swing and dirty bass pressure to Demuir's percussive and warming "The 3nity Returneth". Perdu reaches for the psychedelic acid lines and squelchy synth-bass on a Latin-tinged remake of Detroit Swindle's Lorenz Rhode collaboration "Music For Clubs", while Demuir beefs up Makez's breezy and melodious "Random Visits".

Review: Since making his debut on Peetah Music in 2001, Demuir has built up a rock solid catalogue of club-ready deep house jams. Here the Toronto-based producer follows up recent outings on Robsoul, Hot Creations and Desolat with a first appearance on Heist Recordings. He hits the ground running with a muscular deep house loop jam weighty enough for peak-time plays ("Werq Feel Gruv Love"), before layering up spacey synths, heady string samples and rubbery house beats on "The 3nity Returneth (Dub Mix)"."Philippine Sunrise" is arguably the best of a strong bunch: a melodious, warm and intoxicating deep house workout full of intricate musical detail and colourful electronics. That comes back by a tasty revision by Lady Blaktronika that sounds like it was designed for locked-in, late night dancefloors.

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: Following up some terrific grooves for Robsoul, Kwench and Music For Freaks of late, Toronto's Kevin Dennis Pierre aka Demuir continues his fine recent run of form with a thrilling three tracker on Loco Dice's Desolat label. The Mindset EP is some of the most fiercely energetic music we have seen from the producer yet, as proven on the punchy high octane techno of "Mindset - Progress Waits For None", he throws down some groovy jackin' disco loops in the vein of hometown heroes like Nick Holder and DJ Sneak - the latter also used the same hook once upon a time on "Disco Ain't Jack" and there's more of the same on the smooth Rhodes action of "Yuh Chat Too Much".

Review: Fresh from fine outings on Desolat and Robsoul Recordings, much-loved Canadian producer Demuir debuts on Hot Creations. He sets the tone with "Samba and the Elf", an energy-packed, boompty-style house bumper driven forwards by sweaty drums and a brilliant punk-funk bassline, before dancing shirtless towards disco-house pastures on cheery title track "High. Alive. & Dirty". "Rawness Beat 3" doffs a cap to both classic hip-house and the muscular, disco-fired loop-house of DJ Sneak, while "Eerbawdy Wants To Deeeszko" is a fired-up romp through high-octane house grooves and filtered disco samples. To round off the EP, Demuir delivers a tight and driving "Dub" of that celebratory workout.

Review: Given Demuir's lengthy career and impressive discography (he's previously released on Farris Wheel, Stickman, MadTech and Nite Grooves, amongst others), you'd expect this EP of high-profile collaborations to be rather good. It is, of course, with the Toronto producer and pals flitting between Dixieland jazz-sampling "boompty" business (Tommy Largo hook-up "On Dat High"), full throttle, cowbell-driven heaviness ("Good Ol Days" with old pal DJ Sneak), and seductive West Coast deep house warmth (Mark Farina collaboration "Mr Black & The Dance"). Interestingly, the latter excursion comes accompanied by a chunkier Dub mix and a mix-friendly "Stripped Back Beatz" drum tool.
