Review: Philadelphia-born Josh Wink's latest EP, "Ci-DevantP," is a nostalgic expedition through the realms of vintage house music. In collaboration with House of eFunk, Wink maintains his characteristic lo-fi and rugged approach, infusing deep beats and textured pads to yield ageless grooves. The EP's standout, "Sexy Bot," aptly lives up to its title, embarking on a captivating journey from Latin rhythms to a Detroit-inspired musical progression. Repetitive stabs, ascending pads, and symphonic string plucks conjure an enchanting ambiance that amplifies the overall feel-good experience. "Used to Be" continues the sonic exploration, introducing Wink's distinctive acid bassline guiding listeners into an infectious groove. This is complemented by ethereal analog synths that enhance the haunting atmosphere. Wink's own vocals, delivering straightforward yet contemplative lines such as "The way I used to be," reinforce the EP's overarching nostalgic theme. The result is a distinctive and diverse collection that underscores Wink's capacity to blend historical elements with a contemporary edge.

Hector / Various
Review: Mexican producer Hector has sure come a long way. From his humble beginnings in London's underground scene, working the counter of London's infamous Phonica record store and becoming a regular at popular London haunts of the time like fabric and T Bar (R.I.P.) he has gone on to international stardom, playing the word circuit and launching his Vatos Locos imprint: the very label which launches this compilation and credited to the highly popular Playa del Carmen festival that he has since become a regular guest at. Highlights on here (and there's many!) not limited to: the hi-tech soul sounds of Carl Craig with his classic "Sandstorms" or Martin Buttrich with his classic from 10 years ago "Full Clip". More recent classics such as Loco Dice's remix of Carl Cox's "Family Guy" and Nicole Moudaber & Skin (of Skunk Anansie) with their explosive "You Like This" getting a rolling rendition courtesy of Paco Osuna. The VL Recordings head honcho appears also, with a bunch of new exclusives: the best being his track "L.A. Kr3w" getting a makeover by Detroit boss man Stacey Pullen.

Review: French dame Bloody Mary is back with another simmering brew of TB-303 antics on The Melting Pot Ep Vol 2, featuring some legends and veterans alike. Witness the return of German acid kings Hardfloor, who serve up some euphoric tunnel vision on the terrific "Thisishowwedo", Ovum head honcho Josh Wink delivers a fitting tribute on the deeply evocative "Dame Deep" calling to mind the early '90s glory days of Peacefrog or Ferox. Do Not Resist The Beat's Milton Bradley dons the Alian Rain alias once again on the adrenalised rush of "Contact" while last but not least: Bloody Mary chips in for something a bit more uplifting and groove oriented with "Mono". All killer and no filler on this one.

Review: Josh Wink takes inspiration from 90s techno for his latest release. In its original form, the title track resounds to grinding electronic riffs and spiralling acid lines that ride tough, grimy kicks. The presence of a pitch-bent vocal takes the listener back to the sound that Wink explored on his mid-90s banger "Are You There". The label has tasked DJ Seinfeld with remixing the track, and he does a fine job. Deploying a lean, muscular bass, he retains the original's vocal sample, but it sounds less ominous as it is woven in and out of shiny synth lines.

Review: Josh Wink and Truncate, two stalwarts of the techno realm, have once again joined forces on Ovum for a collaborative single, enriched by a remix courtesy of the talented Elisa Bee. Hailing from Philly, Josh Wink remains an influential force in the techno landscape, continually pushing boundaries and defying stylistic categorization. The collaborative single, "Possibilities," emerged from a studio session in Truncate's Los Angeles studio, resulting in a deep techno roller with a stripped-back aesthetic. The track comes to life with sublime synth patterns soaring over smooth drums, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Adding her touch to the release, Elisa Bee, a rising star from Sardinia with credits on labels like Unknown to the Unknown and Hardgroove, delivers a dynamic remix. Known for her eclectic music collection showcased in her radio show and DJ sets, Elisa Bee infuses real dance floor dynamics into her interpretation. Her remix takes a more direct and heads-down approach, with faster and harder-hitting drums, tightly looped original synth phrases, hypnotizing all who encounter it.

Review: Ovum label head Josh Wink presents the second single in his "Unreleased Remixes" series, featuring remixes of "Talking to You" by Marc Romboy & Andre Winter and "Resist" by Luca Maniaci. "Talking to You" was originally released in 2014 and has been remixed by the likes of Carl Cox and Jon Rundell. The Marc Romboy & Andre Winter remix is an energising techno workout with an up-front percussive clatter and turbulent synths spraying about the mix. The Luca Maniaci remix starts as a stripped-back minimal groover before unfolding into a wild acid monster. A bold 303 pulse runs through the heart of the track as the clattering percussion brings texture, the rolling drums force you to move, and the icy hi-hats wash over you in waves of sound.

Review: Following last year's Be Aware collaboration, Josh Wink and Truncate re-connect for Let Go. The original version is grounded in an old school minimal techno aesthetic, with the duo conjuring up a stripped back, jacking groove that underpins repetitive, time-stretched vocal samples and insistent analogue bleeps. With these elements building and building throughout the arrangement, "Let Go" makes for a captivating workout. On his remix of the title track, label boss Josh Wink opts for a high-tempo approach; led by doubled-up claps and a piledriving rhythm, the US producer's version is a crafty peak-time affair that will get support from discerning techno DJs.

Review: Josh Wink has been putting out music for 30 years, but his appetite for underground techno hasn't waned. As this release on Ovum demonstrates, Wink still has a passion for crafting twisted dance floor tracks; "Balls Back" combines skewed percussion with his well-documented love of the 303, while on the dub version, the veteran US producer drops a linear rhythm that features another of his production signatures - the pitch-bent vocal sample - to create maximum impact. The release also features a remix from Marco Faraone, with the fast-rising artist underpinning the title track's vocals with steely drums, niggling percussive ticks and dramatic snare rolls.

Review: While Ovum owner Josh Wink and techno producer Truncate had remixed one another's tracks, now they come together to collaborate on new material. In its original form, the title track is a blistering affair that builds gradually to the sound of ponderous vocals, detuned tones and tight, driving percussion. Meanwhile, Truncate's remix sees him deliver a more tripped out version, with frequencies gradually going up the sonic scale until they reach a crescendo, and phased filters augmenting the 'focus on me' vocal sample. There's also an acapella take included for DJs who want to use the original vocal in the mix.

Josh Wink feat Ursula Rucker
Played by: Giulia Caldarulo
Review: Originally released back in the late 90s, Josh Wink's "Sixth Sense" gets a new lease of life with a fresh set of remixes. First up is a rework from Louie Vega, one half of Masters At Work. The revered US producer delivers a driving, drum-heavy take on "Sense" on his 45 Rpm remix, with house poetess Ursula Rucker's vocals unfolding in an unhurried manner. On Vega's 'Jump Dub' take, the focus is, unsurprisingly, on those tough drums with Rucker's contribution reduced to a single 'jump' sample. Ovum has also recruited Shlomi Aber to contribute a mix, with the Be As One boss upping the tempo and turning the original into a driving techno workout.

Review: For those who've been buying house music since the '90s, "Sixth Sense" may be familiar. It was first released as a single way back in 1997 and saw Josh Wink joining forces with beat poet/spoken word artist Ursula Rucker on a typical deep and dark house workout. These are entirely fresh remixes, with Schlomi Aber and Louie Vega delivering decidedly 21st century revisions. Vega's vocal, dub and instrumental versions are surprisingly moody by his standards, wrapping Wink's acid-style stabs and mind-altering aural textures around a bouncy, cowbell-driven rhythm track rich in live percussion. Aber takes the track into ultra-deep, sub-heavy techno pastures on his clandestine and alluring "Remix", before stripping back the beats and pushing up the bass on the arguably even more intoxicating "Hidden In The Dark Mix".

Review: For anyone whose gateway to techno came via Josh Wink's mid-90s classics such as Higher State of Consciousness or How's the Music, the 300th release on Ovum is sure to provide a wonderful flashback. The title track hurtles along at 130bpm, underpinned by Wink's trademark gurgling acid lines. But like those 90s classics, Mars also resounds to unpredictable elements, such as nifty break beats and pitch bent vocals. On the "Mars Beats" version, crashing snares and rolling drums provide all of the action, while the 'Vox' take presents a hypnotic a capella. For the most effective version, head straight for the original version.

Review: Ovum owner Josh Wink has long been associated with the 303 sound, and has successfully teased unexpected shapes and styles from the acid box (witness "I Am Ready", "Don't Laugh" and "Higher State of Consciousness"). On this occasion, he opts for a straighter but no less effective approach, as wired acid lines and the signature pitch-bent Wink vocal sample unfold over firing snares. The "Resist-Apella" version sees him opt for a more stripped back version, while on Truncate's remixes, the dominant acid line turns into a bleeding, gurgling life-form, supported by the kind of linear, lead weight rhythm that the US producer has become synonymous with.

Review: Josh Wink's institution is back and giving us a massive forecast for the musical climate on The White Isle this summer and it looks like it's gonna be pretty hot! Sure enough most of this heat is coming from Ovum's current label roster and it's all good on Ovum Over Ibiza 2016. We're pretty sure that New Yorker by way of Los Angeles' MANIK's "Recourse" will be remembered beyond this year due to its slinky deepness, as will Nottingham's Dudley Strangeways with his tunnelling piece"'Keep It Clean". Delft boss Ambivalent also appears with the epic and melodic journey track "Phase Doubt" as does New York City legend Harry Romero, surprisingly, with the peak time techno monster "What What" which really packs a punch!

Review: Released last year on Wink's own label, "Denial" now gets two reshapes from Luke Slater. The UK techno veteran's first version is as Planetary Assault Systems and sees him push Wink's tweaked acid down a cavernous tunneling groove, accompanied by waves of whooshing filters and spiky, percussive bursts. However, it's Slater's lesser-known alias, LB Dub Corporation, that provides the best interpretation. On this occasion, the beats are rough and less streamlined, the percussion rickety and skeletal and the pulsing bass underpins a vocal that urges the listener to 'live in the future'. Both Wink and Slater may be approaching middle age, but they have more energy than producers half their age.

Review: New York house and techno legend Josh Wink is back with a full EP on his own - and legendary - Ovum label. "Denial" sees the veteran DJ and producer unleash four versions of the track. The "Eyes Closed" mix is twisted and moody thanks to that disjointed vocal sample, the "Prise D'Acid" version is bleeping and rolling, then there's the "Tweak Dub" with its glitchy structure and sinister atmospherics - this one is for the late night antics - and the "Futurepella" for all your DJ tool needs. Live in the future!

Review: Ovum's 20th anniversary has been heralded by this very special collection of remixes. Taking on the 1998 classic, techno superstars from across the globe have taken to their artfully darkened studios to create their own version of events, making ten new insights in total. From German techno powerhouse Ben Klock's frighteningly impeccable take to Harry Romero's rather more dancefloor-driven affair; Size 9's minimal injection progresses into an addictive bass loop and My Friend wraps things up with an abstract lesson in sound design, cutting sharp textures and flaccid bass tones to create something totally alien. A must buy.

Review: Balls is Wink's first single in many, many years, and it sounds like he is playing homage to his pure techno roots. The "Big Mix" is as its title suggests, a jacking, wiry rhythm festooned with analogue yelps, trancey - with a small 't' - riffs and a grinding, aggressive swing. The 'Groove' version is also inspired by older sounds, with a ravey siren riff and rolling percussion, reminiscent of Masa's "Basscharger", prevailing. The third version - "Groove mix - No Synth" - calls to mind the recent Function reshape of Planetary Assault Systems, with its crashing snares and epic riffs, while the confusingly titled "Big Mix - Radio Edit" revolves around a noisy, acid-soaked breakdown that would indeed require balls to be played on daytime radio.
