Review: Bristol's Shall Not Fade presents this awesome DJ mix by label staple Carlo. The Berlin-based producer serves up several of his own jams amongst some of the label's biggest hits (and near misses!) across 12 tracks. Highlights include Cologne's Djoko with the lo-slung minimal of "Lost In Time", Tilman's disco-tined deep house groove "Say Good Bye", as well as the dream team of Marcel Vogel, Alexandre Arslan & Tim Jules serving up some proper late-night mood music on "If You Don't Love" and ending with KaySoul & Gustavo Martinez's sensual and evocative "Africanus".

Review: Politics Of Dancing Records is an ever expanding and ever evolving and ever excellent label that has recently grown to include the P.O.D Cross sublabel. This next vital two tracker is a split with Politics of Dancing the artist on both sides, with a different producer on each. It is Djoko with whom he links first for a spaced out tech cut that spins you out into the cosmos on warm pads and metallic drums. Then this is the more rubbery and bass driven dubbed out and deep offering from Politics Of Dancing x Lowris. Both track bang.

Review: To mark the third birthday of his poular Happiness Therapy label, big cheese Simon Blondeau AKA Crowd Control has put together this collection of exclusive, previously unreleased tracks (many first-time collaborations) featuring a mixture of imprint regulars and guest contributors. There's plenty to set the pulse racing throughout, from the intergalactic deep house bounce of DJOKO's 'Feel The Music', the sun-kissed, melody-rich dancefloor beauty of B From E's 'Pagan Mysteries' and the revivalist, turn-of-the-'90s New Jersey deep house warmth of Ricky Razu's 'In Dreams', to the spacey nu-disco/deep house fusion of Crowd Control and Minorah's 'The Loft', and the dubbed-out, slap-bass-sporting early morning deep house warmth of Dub Striker and Tour-Maubourg's 'Classico'.

Review: We've lost count of the number of EPs that Shall Not Fade has put out this year, but the Bristol-based label has genuinely yet to put a foot wrong in 2021. Predictably, the imprint's latest missive - a first label outing from German rising star DJOKO - is another must-check collection of cuts. He begins with the dreamy and bouncy brilliance of feelgood '90s deep house number 'Morning Wonders', before drawing further influence from shuffling US garage and glassy-eyed turn-of-the-90s Larry Heard productions on 'Ventura'. 'Sylvestre Alone' is disco-tinged sample house of the highest order, while 'Don't Compare Yourself' joins the dots between early UK progressive house and bumpin' US deep house. Also worth a listen is Leo Pol's bustling, UK garage-influenced interpretation of 'Morning Wonders'.

Review: While it may have been designed to reflect the evolving nature of the label's sound over the last half-decade, Shall Not Fade's fifth anniversary compilation is nevertheless packed to the rafters with previously unheard treats. It begins with a techno-tempo blast of garage-influenced deep house warmth from DJOKO and ends with the dark, squelching and ghostly bounce of Dart's 'Transformations'; in between, you'll find 19 more reasons to be cheerful with plenty of serious dancefloor chops. Undisputed highlights include the crunchy, head-nodding pleasure of GVRL's instrumental hip-hop jam 'Love Game', the angular and acid spiked tech-breaks of Harrison BDP's 'The Powerful Play', the drowsy deep house dreaminess of Mutual Attraction's 'MPC Live Track 1' and the rushing rave revivalism of Baltra's killer re-fix of Earth Boys' 'I'm Not Afraid'.

Review: Djoko's name on anything will always prick up this reviewer's ears but the German producer - not to be confused with the Netherlands' William Djoko - has excelled himself here! The EP opens with 'Holding On Now', an uptempo old-skool (deep) houser that makes surprisingly effective use of the vocal from Motiv-8's 90s Euro cheese-fest 'Rockin' For Myself'. 'Daylight' keeps up the pace as it marries dreamy, Orb-like synths to fluid, jazzy Rhodes and a phat garage bassline, while 'Step Han' is contemporary-style "garage house" at its most funkified and bumpin', and 'Lesson' takes us into the 3am jackin' zone. Pure dancefloor vibes from start to finish.

Review: If trad-style deep house and US garage are what floats your boat then you need to pick up this EP from Djoko immediately, because lead track 'Hooked On You' is the absolute BOMB and, marrying New Jersey keys and male soul vox to an uptempo driving rhythm, is surely destined to be huge on soulful floors this summer. Elsewhere on the EP, there are more garage-y overtones on 'Facettes' while 'Bad To The Bone' and 'Jode Lade' operate in more straight-up deep house territory (but still in classic US-style mode), and the quality standard is impeccable throughout. Superb stuff.

Review: Parisian label hedZup follows up some great releases recently by British tech house heroes such as Tijn and Mehlor, with this new one by Cologne-based Djoko. The 'Ride On' EP sees this ascendant producer and DJ tick all the right boxes: from the slinky and hypnotic late night bounce of the title track, to the tough and funked-up peak time roller "Wrecked" which calls to mind the work of Djebali or iO (Mulen) and demonstrates that the guy sure has talent. On the remix we have label co-chief Mancini taking the track "Tunnel" down a deeper route (pardon the pun) and it is perfect mood music for the warm-up or the afterhours alike - so groovy!

Review: Four quality deep housers from Germany's Djoko here. 'Extensions Of The Mind' itself is a tightly controlled lil' hip-wiggler with crisp beats and fluttering synths that lend it an air of urgency, despite the fact that it's actually fairly laidback, tempo-wise. Elsewhere, 'Orbit' is an eyes-down 3am groover of the kind that could have been made any time in the past 25 years or so, 'Stoccado' is pacier and struttier with bubblin' acidic sounds and an extended breakdown in the middle, and 'Atomic Pulse' is more uptempo again, a bass-led chugger topped with dreamy synths.
