Review: It's been almost a year since we last heard from Church, Cin Cin and Outplay regular Laurence Guy. Last time out, he delivered a tasty trio of jazz-fired deep house cuts for Mule Musiq; this time round, the talented producer is showcasing his versatility with predictably picturesque results. Highlights come thick and fast from the off, where "Wildlife" introduces us to Guy's sound world via bustling, hardcore style breakbeats, Aphex Twin style acid lines and bold, life-affirming chords. Club-ready cuts include the dreamy deep house-meets-ambient techno bustle of "Missing In Reaction" and the hot-stepping, stab-happy and bass-heavy rush of "My Brain Is a Scrambled Egg", while the included forays into ambient and IDM - most notably "Are You Fine" and the "Electric Counterpoint"-inspired "It's Good To Try" - are uniformly superb.

Review: The comic book-inspired Quartet Series returns to action, with another four studio superheroes joining the label's unofficial 'League of Extraordinary House Producers'. Returning hero Nachtbraker kicks things off with "Dobie", a quirky foray into percussion rich, jazz-house territory that packs serious dancefloor punch. Laurence Guy successfully breaks up the beats on the deep and woozy "Love & Be Loved", while Tommy Vicardi Jnr works his DJ Sneak style beats and cut-up samples hard on the deliciously energetic "Aplomb". Finally, LK doffs a cap to R&B, hip-hop and Detroit deep house on the pitched-down 4/4 shuffle of closer "Honey", which should appeal to those who enjoy the work of Marcel Vogel, Inkswel and Andres.

Review: Hans Peeman (Junktion) and Daniel Leseman's Outplay is strictly committed to spreading the gospel of deep house music and this sermon comes courtesy of the aforementioned, with a bit of help from Laurence Guy. He appears first with the title track, which samples a pretty breathtaking strings section mixed with a spangling Derrick May style synth melody which fades out and gives way to a pretty wicked arpeggio... and some cowbells; sold already? Next up is Junktion with "Breakfast At Midnight" an offering of deep and dusty late night disco that certainly takes its cues from KDJ, but that's totally fine by us. The Brame & Hamo remix is more dancefloor friendly, slo-mo deep house that fans of Genius of Time or MCDE will appreciate. Finally Leseman's "On My Mind" offers us another deep and dusty house gem that revels in its beautifully sombre Motor City vibes. Not bad for a guy from Utrecht!

Review: Bristol's Shall Not Fade presents this awesome DJ mix by label staple Carlo. The Berlin-based producer serves up several of his own jams amongst some of the label's biggest hits (and near misses!) across 12 tracks. Highlights include Cologne's Djoko with the lo-slung minimal of "Lost In Time", Tilman's disco-tined deep house groove "Say Good Bye", as well as the dream team of Marcel Vogel, Alexandre Arslan & Tim Jules serving up some proper late-night mood music on "If You Don't Love" and ending with KaySoul & Gustavo Martinez's sensual and evocative "Africanus".

Review: Since making his debut in 2015, Laurence Guy has barely put a foot wrong. In the process, he's delivered a string of fine releases for the likes of Church, Mule Musiq, Cin Cin, Studio barnhus and, most frequently, Shall Not Fade. His latest EP for the latter label is another gem-filled treat. The EP's most potent dancefloor-centric moments - the stomping, saucer-eyed, dreamy deep house-goes-acid techno wonder that is 'Your Good Times Are Here' and the twisted, sample-heavy oddity that is 'Yeh Good, You?' - are simply superb, while the quirkier, more downtempo bonus cuts (mournful, reverb-heavy piano ambient number 'Mutual Disappointment is a Terrible Thing' and the cut-and-paste, jazz-tinged loop oddity 'I Know You Feel Sad') are interesting and entertaining in equal measure.

Review: In our opinion, Laurence Guy has put out some of his best material on Shall Not Fade, with last year's The Sun is Warm and Directly Above You EP being particularly potent. The Bristol-based producer is in fine form on his latest missive for Kieran Williams' prolific label, too. Opener 'Love Theme For The Morning After' is breezy, sun-soaked and impeccably emotive, with what sound like manipulated orchestral samples and slowly unfurling chords bobbing away atop a crunchy deep house beat. Title track 'Mutual Excitement is a Wonderful Thing' is arguably even better, sitting somewhere between early morning sample-house and the early works of James Blake, while 'Certain (To a Certain Extent' delivers a devilishly drowsy blend of reverb-soaked electric piano motifs, distant broken-house beats and tons of atmospheric touches.

Review: Man-of-the-moment Laurence Guy has been in a rich vein of form for a while now. In the last three years he's released must-have-music on Church, Monologues, Mule Musiq, Studio Barnhus and now Shall Not Fade. "The Sun Is Warm & Directly Above You" marks his first appearance on the latter imprint and contains three stunning tracks. Our pick of the bunch is undoubtedly the soft focus, slow-burn deep house emotion of the title track, a cut that sees him wrap yearning, high register male vocal samples, atmospheric vocal samples and atmospheric field recordings around a tactile, shuffling groove. "This Isn't My Best Life" offers a more energetic take on the same melancholic, piano-laden idea, while EP opener "Untitled Needs" is jazz-house for the Mall Grab generation.
