Review: Pont Neuf, a pivotal player in the vibrant French house scene, stands as an independent music label with some 40 releases over seven years. Notable artists like Tour-Maubourg, Oden & Fatzo, Mira Ló, THEOS, Cosmonection, and Vitess have graced the label - for starters. Marking their seventh anniversary, this annual compilation series, Hexagonal Club, spotlights both established and emerging artists who define the evolving French house wave - leafing heavily from classic American genres like disco, ballroom and mid-western house to B-boy electro and deep, modern swoon to boot.

Review: Many happy returns to much-loved French imprint Pont Neuf, who have decided to mark their sixth birthday with an expansive compilation of new tracks from a mix of label regulars and newcomers. It's a predictably strong set all told, with the label's usual high-grade deep house cuts being joined by a range of delicious dancefloor diversions and surprise workouts. There's not room to pick out all the highlights, but our current favourites include the gently acid-flecked, soon-to-be-anthemic positivity of Tour-Maubourg's 'Square Sounds', the dubbed-out, off-kilter micro-house brilliance of Flabbaire's 'Tribute', the vibraphone-sporting deep house rush of 'Cosmopolitan' by Maoke, Mira Lo's trance-inducing 'Look What You've Done' and the sparse, sub-heavy jack of Saudade's 'Sherman'.

Review: This V/A collection from Russian label Deeppa is sitting in our Funk section but across its four tracks the terms 'jazz-funk' or 'deep house' could equally well apply. 'Slightly Wiggle' from Scruscru, for instance, starts out in deep house/Balearic chug mode, flirts with funk-breaks then busts out some late 50s/early 60s-style jazz sax, while the same artist's S.Timoshenko collab 'Jubilee Boulevard' is nu-disco via St Germain, 'Black Mirror' by Common Mode nods to the jazzier side of Detroit techno and finally Flabaire plays us out in 4am deep house mode, again with the influence of a certain M. Navarre clearly on show.

Review: Hexagonal Club isn't a real nightclub, just the name given by Paris-based Pont Neuf to their compilations showcasing fresh electronic grooves from up-and-coming French artists (France being known colloquially as 'l'Hexagone', you see). And what a compilation Volume 2 is: few things in life get this writer as excited as a collection of quality deep house jams from people you've never heard of, and this album ticks that particular box nicely! The over-riding influence is deep house from the Heard/Trent/Damier school but there's room too for everything from the Italo/prog stylings of Fasme's 'Turbo Blaster' to the left coast-ish bump of THEOS's 'Wanna Go Out'. Get 'em while they're chaud, people!

Review: Two years ago, we waxed lyrical about Flabaire's last album-length excursion, a delightfully dusty and atmospheric blend of deep house and instrumental hip-hop cuts entitled 'Bandwidth'. Predictably, we're going to enthuse about this belated follow-up too, which sees the Frenchman add further layers of musical complexity - including some deliciously jazzy instrumentation - to his sample-heavy, MPC-driven production template. Dreamy, immersive and more comforting than a king-size duvet, the set's seven tracks include the French producer's takes on futurist ambient techno ('Mot Rose'), jazz-flecked Balearic soundscapes (the ultra-deep 'Layer 4', 'Layer 5' and glistening 'Layer 7'), drowsy downtempo sounds ('Layer 6'), dub techno ('Echo Park') and echo-drenched guitar textures ('We Were Talking About The Space Between Us All'). Inspired.

Review: Parisian imprint D.KO has put out plenty of multi-artist EPs in the past, but few compilations that are quite as expansive as "Bircavia". We've not been able to assertain whether there's a theme, concept or specific reason for the appearance of the set, but in many ways it doesn't matter; the eight tracks are uniformly superb and that's reason enough to release a compilation. Highlights are plentiful, with standouts including the pulsating, funk-fuelled electro dreaminess of Aurele's "Numbers (featuring Amarou - V45 Vocoder Mix)" and Toke's "Ambavi", the deep and intergalactic drum and bass of Mud Deep's decidedly spacey "Bill Murray", the acid-flecked breakbeat mutations of Saint-James' "Time Paradox" and the ultra-deep and picturesque deep house hypnotism of Flabair & Siler.

Review: D.KO regular Ralph "Flabaire" Maurani returns to the label with his sophomore album. Given the quality of his 2016 debut, It's Just a Silly Phase I'm Going Through, hopes are naturally high for this follow-up. Happily, Bandwith is superb, with Maurani working his way through a range of dusty deep house and blazed, MPC style beat cuts while retaining an attractive rhythmic looseness and dreamy melodiousness throughout. Check, for example, the gentle acid lines, bustling beats and glistening electronic melodies of "Life & Times", the slowly unfurling early morning bliss of ambient techno cut "The Royal Scam", the woozy, Rhodes-laden techno bounce of "AM/PM" and the surprise space-jungle shimmer of "A Storm in Heaven".

Review: Parisian 'emotional house' producer Flabiare is a stalwart of local imprint D.K.O where he's thrown down several fine releases of the deeper and dusty house music variety. Now for South Street out of the UK who have previously brought us great EPs by Yaki Incipient and Urulu. Kerri Chandler vibes abound for energetic opener "Midsummer Blues" while "Tell Me About It" carries on in style too with its evocative early '90s NYC style likewise. "Prime Numbers" (Parlez Vous Francais 2015 rework) serves up some rusty and dusted down deepness; its off kilter rhythm programming a fine touch and "Ecoude" closing out this fine EP in style with those neon lit synths and pitched down groove working a treat.

Review: Hot on the heels of the underrated Memories From Another Planet EP on his D.KO Records imprint, Ralph 'Flabaire' Manauri brings his brand of smooth and groovy deep house to Popcorn. He begins confidently, channeling the atmospheric spirit of Twin Peaks on the swirling, soundscape deep house shuffle of "Laura Palmer". He doffs a cap to the disco-flecked warmth of vintage East Midlands deep house productions on "Shabbat Jam", before fusing gentle acid lines, dreamy textures and bubbly melody lines on the enjoyable "Urquinaona". British techno veteran Aubrey weighs in with a fine remix of "Laura Palmer" that cannily turns the track into a melodious, hypnotic tech-house roller.

Review: Following up his breakthrough EP titled Early Reflections which came out on D.KO in late 2014, young French artist Flabbaire is back with a full length titled It's Just A Silly Phase I'm Going Through, but we hope it's not because we think he's doing an absolutely grand job. Soulful, dusty and emotive Midwest U.S. style of deep house that calls to mind classic Sound Signature or 7 Days Entertainment type stuff. Starting off in truly impressive fashion with some bittersweet, ghost in the machines type journeys like on "Sweet Spot" or "Headspace" there's also some stoned cosmic/balerica kind of stuff too like on "La Greve Des Etoiles" or "Bruxelles" but it's the classic Windy City vibes of "Berggasse 19 (Spiritual mix)" and "Album 5" which are really on the money if you ask us.

Review: Having previously popped up on the first compilation release from Paris label D.KO, Flabaire now gets a whole release over which to impart some flamboyant housey goodness. "Local Control" is a sassy number rich with Moog-esque synths intoning a decidedly funky message, while "I Think You Do" has a more thoughtful temperament that lets delicate piano keys meet with the steady ticking drums and warm bass. "Chartreuse" gets the twitchy funk back in place for all kinds of micro-shuffling goodness, and then "L'Orphee" opens the EP up in a final bow led by illustrious synth strings and a bouncy low end both emotive and eminently groovy in the same instance.

Review: Sexy Parisian deep house: what more can we say? D.KO are the right crew for the job, as we'll explain. Local lad Flabaire has appeared previously on Serie Limitee and Organic Music. "Biblife" is sombre and soulful deep house reminiscent of the emotive style of legends like Pepe Braddock or Schmoove. Paso Music head honcho: Paso, also appears here with the deep and sultry groove of "I Never" which is perfect for the early evening or afterhours alike. Petr Serkin gives the track a pretty decent remix treatment too, retaining the deep funky groove but with some help from some dreamy pads and cowbells which work a treat. Ma Rey's "Quartier Sex" is definitely the fiercest offering on here; tough and thumping peak time house reminiscent of Phil Weeks.
