Review: Frits Wentink continues his productive partnership with Wolf Music Recordings, one which is now entering its 11th year (an eternity in dance music terms). 'Club Land', the title track from the Dutch producer's first EP of 2024, is a nostalgic and wide-eyed affair, whose sparkling piano riffs, bumpin' house beats, mazy synth solos and rubbery bassline sit somewhere between Frankie Knuckles and MK productions of the mid 1990s. There's also a slightly jazzier and more US garage-influenced 'Alternate Mix' that boasts some rather addictive organ stabs. As the EP progresses, he opts for a deep, dubby and trippy sound on 'Crowd Control', before doffing a cap once more to vintage NYC and NJ deep house on superb closing cut 'Run Run Slow'. One of his best for a while and that's saying something!

Review: With the 70th release on WOLF Music, Frits Wentink once again delivers the goods in his unmistakable style, like a refreshing pint of vitamin D on a summer's day. "Remember that Feeling" is a captivating EP featuring three wonky, left-of-center tracks that are as intriguing as they are dance-inducing. "Royale" serves up skippy and seductive garage house with a psychedelic twist, while "Intentions" showcases Frits' sample wizardry with smokey jazz keys and RnB vocal snippets. Closing the EP with "Move Steady," Frits takes us into the late-night basement with off-kilter vibes, a rolling low-end, and UK funky-flavoured percussion. Another Frits Wentink masterpiece that hits the mark.

Review: If a week is a long time in politics, then a decade is the equivalent of a lifetime in dance music terms. It's for this reason that so many labels are keen to mark their tenth birthday with a special release, just as Wolf Music - one of the UK's most reliable deep house imprints of recent times - has done here. Instead of opting for all new material, the imprint has decided to gather together some of their favourite "Wolf slammers" - cuts that have always done the business on the dancefloor. There's naturally plenty to set the pulse racing throughout, from the loopy R&B/disco/deep house fusion of Fantastic Man's "Look This Way" and the fabulously analogue Chicago retro-futurism of KRL's "Nothing You Can Teach Me", to the sample-heavy, riff-happy bounce of Red Rack'em's "Do Or Die" and the bass-heavy stomp of K98's warehouse-ready revision of Thrilogy's "Heaven".

Review: Having partied hard to celebrate notching up 50 releases, the Wolf Music crew is not letting the grass grow under their feet. They've already served up missive number 51, a single-track salvo from label regular Frits Wentink that has apparently been gathering dust in the producer's archive since 2014. "Frogs, Toads and Newts" is typical of the Amsterdam producer's work. Based around a dusty, slipped deep house groove blessed with swinging, MPC style drums, heavy sub bass and rubbery double bass samples, the cut's power is partially down to Wentink's canny use of echoing R&B vocal samples and suitably woozy, minor key chords. It's a bit like S3A covering Mark E's "R&B Drunkie", which in our eyes at least is a very good thing indeed.

Review: Wolf Music - London purveyors of the real proper deep stuff - deliver on the same underground quality once again, in the form of this nifty little EP by Frits Wentink: one of Holland's finest. The final in a three-part series, the Bobby Donny boss continues to showcase his distinct style of lo-fi, wonky house - both quirky and unconventional, yet instantly endearing in the same breath. From the late night swing-fuelled groove of "Theme 09" to the slo-mo boogie down vibe of "Theme 11" (a tribute of sorts perhaps to Morgan Geist's neon-lit aesthetic) to just the same good ol' loopy jams you've come to expect like "Theme 12" that are jam packed with Wentink's usual dancefloor dynamics - dusted down, lo-slung and well bowled!

Review: The first volume in Frits Wentink's Two Bar House Music and Chord Stuff series won plenty of plaudits when Wolf Music slung it out last summer. Happily, the eccentric Dutch producer seems to have raised his game even further on this fine follow-up. Check, for example, deliciously trippy opener "Theme 5", where vocal snippets, organ riffs and sci-fi synth sounds are drenched in tape delay and wrapped around a skewed deep house groove, and the bolder, bass-heavy bustle of saucer-eyed peak-time wobbler "Theme 7". Elsewhere, he combines the dreamy dustiness of Mood Hut style deep house with the cheeriness of Italian piano house on "Theme 8" and gets locked into a soulful, deep and bass-heavy vibe on the similarly impeccable "Theme 6".

Review: First in a three part series by Dutch producer Frits Wentink, presented in a hand stamped picture sleeve. Wentink has been one of The Netherlands' most steady artists since his first release in 2012. As the head honcho of both Will & Ink and Bobby Donny, he is known for pushing quality house music. Starting off with with the neon-lit late night groove of "Theme 01", the slo-mo boogie down groove of "Theme 02" is equally impressive and had us reminiscing of classic Metro Area. "Theme 03" is the EP's most straight up moment: this kind of dusty deep house with sexy retro synths and sleek vox samples are right up our street. "Theme 04" is a woozy and disjointed groove, with its broken beats and skittering melodies getting and inventive groove on: that's for sure.

Review: Wolf Music continues to evolve as a label, with recent releases showcasing a much more mature, dustier and quietly soulful feel than some of their earlier outings. Certainly, there was a smoky, jazz-flecked vibe to Medlar's recent 12", and this EP from regular contributor Frits Wentink is suitably fuzzy, glitchy and groovy. Opener "Blaise Montoya" sets the tone, with watery riffs, grainy jazz samples and bluesy vocal samples riding an undulating, US-garage influenced groove. There's a similar, if chunkier, feel to "Hummel", while "Etna Devine" goes further into left-of-centre, jazz-influenced deep house territory. Like the EP's other tracks, it feels a little more inventive and out-there than your average deep house jam.

Review: It's no surprise to see Amsterdam man Fritz Wentink issuing his debut album through Wolf Music, as the London label have been staunch supporters of his work with two 12" contributions over the past two years. The wonderfully named Rarely Pure, Never Simple adds to Wolf Music's growing artist album profile following long players from main men Medlar and Greymatter and further develops the all encompassing production style Wentink has displayed so eloquently for Detroit Swindle's Heist Recordings and others. He seems most impressive on the more downbeat tracks done in collaboration with Loes Jongerling who possesses a quite astounding vocal delivery, though those craving some proper house will totally dig on cuts like "The Excitement Happens At Page 320".

Review: While he's hardly a newcomer - his first release on Holland's Triphouse dropped at the tail end of 2012 - there's still something fresh and exciting about the booming, bass-heavy productions of Dutch 20-something Frits Wentink. All three of the original tracks here are undeniably sparse, offering dubbed-out, delay-laden takes on stripped-back US house, with sub-heavy basslines and cut-up vocal samples providing the obligatory contemporary twist. The wonky, acid-flecked "Goose" is probably the pick of the trio, though the quirky, twisting "Geeses" is not far behind. There's also a remix of the latter track from Wolf regular Ishmael, who effortlessly blends Wentink's bass-heavy rhythms with his own starbust synths and subtle nu-disco influences.

Review: Dutchman Fritz Wentik has steadily built up a following over the last few years with a slew of acclaimed releases, largely on the Triphouse label. Here he looks set to raise his game considerably via a hook up with Wolf Music. Boasting an unexplained murine theme, the EP contains three infectious housey shakers with no cheese in sight! "Mouse" is a snappy duel between a soulful male vocal sample and retro organ melodies, "Mice" is more sensual and lithe with plenty of glistening synth work and finally "Mices" evokes memories of early '90s New York clubs like Sound Factory.
