Review: The second of the three part EP release by Danish electronica legends WhoMadeWho (and their new Watergate 26 mix) finally arrives. This edition features German ethereal tech house hero Tim Engelhardt's "Under Armour", Echonomist's delivering some moody dancefloor drama on "At The End Of The Day", right through to the artists themselves delivering a stellar remix of Magit Cacoon & Lonya's "Shma IL" which is adrift in layers of intoxicating melodies. Finally, French enfant terribles dOP arrive with their new one "Radiowaves" which will take you deep into the exotic with its tribal rhythms, charming vocals and seductive orchestral arrangements.
Romano Alfieri - "Everybody Loves Fonzy" - (6:20) 125 BPM
DOP - "Be The Beat" (instrumental) - (7:47) 124 BPM
Romano Alfieri - "Mission To Juno" - (6:02) 124 BPM
Review: Muna Musik has been successful by offering EPs (and one double-CD compilation) that gather together high quality tracks from a variety of artists. This fourth label missive retains this approach, offering up no less than six solid club cuts. DOP serves up two mixes of the deliciously wonky and off-kilter late night house work out "Be The Beat" (one containing some quirky, soul-flecked vocals, and the other without), while Ezekiel impresses with the skewed, bass heavy tech-house/deep-house/hip-house fusion of "Save The Children". German veteran Timo Mass drops the throbbing, bass-heavy pulse of big room chugger "Heaven Is Hell", before Romano Alfieri delivers two EP highlights. There's the strutting, bassline-driven disco-house funk of "Everybody Loves Fonzi", and the warehouse-friendly stomp of "Mission to Juno".
Review: Given their usually prolific nature, it's something of a surprise to find that this is French trio DOP's first single release for two years. They seem to have mellowed with age, too, as "Close Up" is a breezy, nu-disco influenced chunk of strobelight deep house replete with a high-pitched electrofunk vocal and spine-tingling electronics aplenty. The remix package is predictably meaty, with Catz 'N' Dogz providing a particularly banging, floor-friendly remake - all distorted kicks, redlined cymbals and throbbing analogue bass. Amsterdam's San Proper delivers an extended 10-minute rework that sounds like Chicken Lips and Metro Area making analogue deep house, before Louisahhh closes proceedings with a deep and sensuous remake replete with her own stylish vocals.
