Review: Klasse Wrecks, the brainchild of Mr Ho and Luca Lozano, has a reputation for delivering dancefloor heaters that ignite parties. Their latest collaborative effort, a four-track EP, takes the excitement to new heights, pushing the bass-heavy envelope even further. Drawing inspiration from the working-class northern dance music culture of the late 1990s, these tracks fuse UK garage-style basslines with energetic beats, spanning both 4/4 house and breaks. The result is a sonic tapestry woven with distorted electronics, sizzling stabs, and vintage rap vocals that pay homage to the era. Standout moments include the breathlessly funky 'Join My Team', with its thunderous low-end, and the relentless power of 'Friction'. 'Clock U' offers a change of pace and a mesmerizing escape with its acid-tinged, trance-inducing journey. Klasse Wrecks remains a driving force in delivering music that pays homage to the past while pushing boundaries and evolving the dance music scene.

Review: Inhabiting a similar musical territory and releasing on the same labels - including Klasse Wrecks - it makes sense that Dawl and Luca Lozano would eventually collaborate in the studio. Given their shared musical influences, it's no surprise that the resulting three-tracker mines the wild-eyed energy of 90s rave. Subsonic tones straddle rolling break beats on "Data Transfer", with these elements providing the basis for haunting vocal samples. While it is structured on the same break beat backing, "NRG" is deeper and more soulful. Angelic vocals swirl over dramatic strings, transporting the listener to a euphoric place. Changing tact again, the dynamic duo drops the MC-led "Virtual Space" - an irresistible dance floor banger.

Review: For their latest remix compilation, Californian label Dirtybird has selected some of its standout tracks over the years that have left a special mark, tapping some of the scene's finest for their reinterpretations. Highlights include Innervisions co-head Dixon's moody, tension-filled dub mix of "Urban Animal", Chi-town legend DJ Sneak bringing his unique brand of boompty-funk to a rework of label boss Claude Vonstroke's classic "Deep Throat", as well as veteran Harry 'Choo Choo' Romero's dancefloor drama version of Scavazza's "Shake Your Hearts" and label staple J.Phlip's version of Luca Lozano's "Berlinetta" among many others.

Review: Back in 2018, Klasse Wrecks main man Luca Lozano made his bow on Running Back with Boss Moves, an album-length excursion full of sweaty, revivalist rave workouts. This belated follow-up is a little more nuanced and eclectic musically, but it remains full of audible references to the music of the Sheffield-raised, Berlin-based producer's youth. Along the way, you'll find deep and immersive, ambient techno-influenced breakbeat, hip-house/mid-90s US garage fusion, acid-fired dancefloor psychedelia, vibrant synth sounds and tons of Lozano's beloved Yorkshire bleeps. There's plenty of club-ready fodder across the set, of course, but there's enough melody, variation and atmosphere to make it an album (whether they're calling it that or not) that also sounds great at home.

Review: Perhaps before he was swanning about running Klasse Recordings and all, Luca Lozano worked in customer services vowing one day to serve musical revenge on all the insufferable souls one serves in that world. Whatever the inspiration, we now have a killer new four trackers from the man. Echoes of early Warp abound as always - "Super Rhythm Track" features mocking bleeps over a techno pulse, "The Path Of Most Resistance" is angrier, drawing on late 80s hardcore for vibes. Elsewhere "The Faith" is deep, sparse and bleepy whilst "No Team In Lozano" is moody Chicago house at its best.

Review: In the space of just a few years, Luca Lozano has made a busy schedule for himself. Managing Klasse Records and Grafiti Tapes, he has released a load of music both form himself and a number of artists, such as Kris Wadsworth and DJ Fett Burger, among many others. This time he's up on the excellent Super Rhythm Trax with a little vintage flavor; "Outer Space" makes up the A-side and it's a gorgeous, break-ridden dance stepper in the same vein as stuff from the likes of Horsepower Productions, back in their day. On the flipside, "End Of Line" is a certified UK swinger, a grimey beast of a tune with a heavy percussion march and that inimitable London feel. Recommended.

Review: Following on from their excellent Hands of Doom collaboration on Sex Tags, Lozano and Fett Burger get together again. On this occasion however, Lozano delivers three tracks, with Fett Burger providing a remix. The title track is a tracky, acidic affair, based on a discordant rhythm and shot through with high-pitched vocal snippets. "Come With Me" is closer in sound to Hands of Doom, with its robust break beats supporting ponderous tones and bleeps. It sets the scene for "The Afterworld", an atmospheric, fluid track, supported again by lithe back beats, while Fett Burger sends the track into a dreamy state, with a balmy, serene house groove.

Review: It's encouraging to hear that And It Was Good, Klasse Recordings founder Luca Lozano's latest retro-futurist outing for Optimo Trax, was inspired by his time growing up in Sheffield, circa the turn of the '90s. You can certainly hear the influence of the Steel City - and early Warp Records material, in particular - in "Fantasy FM", which sounds like Sweet Exorcist style bleep techno fused with Tuff Little Unit's dreamy, bleep-era deep house gem "Join The Future". There's more clanking drum machines and attractive bleep melodies to be found on "Third Eye Open", while the intoxicating "Telekom" - all psychedelic electronic riffs and bubbling techno bottom-end - sounds like a long lost Xon cut. The superb, lunar-inspired title-track is pretty tasty, too.
