Review: Ten months after unveiling their first batch of 'Disco Biscuits', Luv Shack has served up another piping hot selection of Viennese Whirls. Ken Hayawaka and Lee Stevens are first to showcase their crunchy and crumbly wares on 'If You', a riff-sporting, warehouse ready chunk of nu-disco-tinged house nostalgia, before LeSale reaches for the chocolate chips on the bubbly, vibrant and crystal-clear nu-disco sparkle of 'What Lies Beyond'. Fast-rising Polish producer Das Komplex is at his cosmic, dubbed-out best on the cheery disco-not-disco excellence of 'Odmewianie', while Jakobin and Domino's EP-closing 'Square One' sandwiches squelchy synth-bass and dreamy chords between piping hot nu-disco beats and spacey electronics.
Review: Luv Shack Records' newest EP marks the 26th release on the label and it's a classic split affair by stalwart artists Space Echo and Jakobin & Domino. Space Echo's "My Heart My Soul" is feelgood, uplifting disco looped to perfection if we do say so ourselves. His next joint "Party Together" is more on the lo-slung and definitely slo-mo tip: to get groovy earlier on or later in the evening. It is then over to Jakobin & Domino with "You Want My Love" which features a familiar loop and it's so funky, soulful and irresistible. Finally "Filter Queen" is another earworm and you just know you've heard that loop somewhere before, right? Ah, it makes you love it.. what more can we say!
Review: Viennese label Luv Shack are on course to scoop first prize in breakthrough house label of 2012 with label regulars Jakobin and Domino at the helm on this four track EP package of groove laden goodness. The title track "Squeeze Me" and its respective remix from LeSale both bump and bounce with the kind of jack reminiscent of early Freerange or Inland Knights output, while facedown production "Lately" is more analogue, acid and tech inspired. There's a definite hallmark of Brett Johnson / early Classic Records to this production, and if that's just a tad too retro and stripped back, jump on the deeply cosmic Burning Tears remix. Feel the Luv.
