Hyenah
Played by: DJ Lukas
Review: Cayman Islands-based man (or woman) of mystery Hyenah is back on Freerange, some 18 months after his (or her) last outing for the long-serving London imprint. As with previous releases, "Usutu" sees him combine the Afro-centric rhythm approach of Joe Clausell with the winding, tech-house style electronics of the Innervisions imprint. It's very good, of course, with B'utiza's evocative vocal adding an extra layer of 21st century Afro-house authenticity. Like-minded producer and occasional Innervisions artist Mr Raoul K arguably improves the track further on his wonderful remix, which builds wonderfully towards an Afro-tech conclusion following a spellbinding ambient intro. Meanwhile, Nonku lends a hand on the tactile deep house warmth of bonus track "Phases".

Review: Jamie Odell aka Jimpster's London based label Freerange returns with a new compilation series entitled Almanac which showcases this highly regarded deep house imprint's current extended roster and believe us right now when we tell you: there's a who who on offer here! Featuring Aussie Andy Hart, Dutch duo Detroit Swindle and Hamburg's Kollektiv Turmstrasse to name but a few. Our favourites, again, if only we could pick a few, are as follows: We Play House main man from Belgium Red D with the sultry and emotive deepness of "Chez", Montreal's undisputed king of latin-microhouse Guillaume Coutu Dumont with the summery disco sleaze of "You Lost It" and Pittsburgh Track Authority with the dusty MPC jack of "Gold Trim". Oh and one more? It'd have to be Chicago's Chrissy with the sexy late night EBM noir crossover of "Presidential Astrologer" which will also appeal to fans of the Comeme or Correspondant sound of late.

Review: Man (or woman) of mystery Hyenah is the latest DJ to contribute to the digital only Focus on Freerange compilation series. Like previous volumes, this features a selection of unmixed personal favourites from the Freerange Records catalogue, plus a continuous DJ mix. While the mix is entertaining, it's the quality of the unmixed cuts that make this an essential purchase. There's a smattering of deliciously soulful, bleary-eyed deep house treats (Andreas Saag, Swell Session vs Mark De Clive-Lowe), a swathe of chugging, late night tech-house treats (Dixon remixing Jimpster, Manoo remixing compiler Hyenah), and one of the most overlooked reworks of recent times (Genius of Time's fantastic rub of Kyodai's "Mi Rumba").

Review: Hyenah's previous EPs for Freerange, both released back in 2014, portrayed him as the natural heir to both Joe Clausell and Osunlade. "The Idea", featuring fellow deep, Afro-influenced house explorer Lazarusman, only emphasizes this first impression, with a spiritual, spoken word vocal riding a slowly evolving, Innervisions-style deep and techy groove. Frankey & Sandrino push the latter elements to the foreground on their intoxicating, late night interpretation - all spine-tingling breakdowns, swirling electronics and tech-tinged rhythms - before Hyenah delivers the impeccable solo cut "Rise", whose African percussion hits and synthesized marimba melodies perfectly compliment his rolling, soft-touch beats.

Review: Hyenah's debut single, The Wish, was arguably one of Freerange's strongest singles of 2014. This follow-up is, if anything, even better. The Cayman Islands-based producer is clearly a devoted follow of both Joe Clausell and Franck Roger, because the original version of "Tale From The Dirt" sounds like an effortless fusion of their styles - a humid deep house shuffler full of rolling African-influenced percussion and warm, enveloping chords. The original's tasty afro-house grooves are explored further on Rampa's superb, stripped-back, tech-tinged remix. Virtual flipside "The Chase" continues on a similar theme, though it's the "Beastrumental" version - a superb drum dub with just the right amount of heavy bass - that really stands out.

Review: Jimpster's Freerange label has always been good at spotting and developing new talent. Here, they give a debut to little-known producer Hyenah. He impresses with "The Wish (Dub)", an undulating chunk of atmospheric late night deep house in the label's trademark style - think ricocheting percussive hits, rolling chords, rising chords and fluid electronics. It's the sort of hypnotic, ethno-tinged fare you'd expect to hear on Innervisions, which is praise in itself. There's more Joe Claussell style African drum hits on the deeper but no less intoxicating "King Kobra", while Manoo impresses with a pair of uptempo, techno-tempo remixes. It's the 10-minute "Manoo Likes Apfelschorle Remix" that stands out, though the surging future voodoo of his "Darkside Remix" is also pretty formidable. Impressive stuff all round.
