Review: The new M.A.N.D.Y. single "Tomorrow Is Another Night" was written together with Jimmy Vallance of Canadian duo Bob Moses. It now comes with a series of remixes, from Anthony Middleton of Audiofly's version where he delivers a slinky and hypnotic re-reb, British deep house hero Ben Pearce does a somewhat stomping and heads-down rendition for the late night and then a complete 'rework' of the original by Bristolian dub techno expert Dubspeeka. Unlike his usual tracks, this isn't as intense as you'd expect, instead the rising star delivers a sombre and entrancing perspective that's perfect to bring the crowd back up after those moments of intensity.

Review: It's been 12 years since M.A.N.D.Y and Booka Shade broke through with "Body Language", a single that did much to define to Berlin tech-house sound of the period. Here, Madrid-based producer and Infamous Recordings label boss Danniel Selfmade gets a chance to re-build the much-loved Get Physical classic in his own image. There's much to admire about his Infamous version, which wraps the original's bouncy, tactile synthesizer motifs and undulating synth-bass around a proto-house era drum machine rhythm. In some ways, a feels a little like a long lost Metro Area track, which is no bad thing. The accompanying Dub is an altogether chunkier and more tech-tinged proposition, though it does still showcase the original synth parts in between blasts of heads-down groove theory.
Review: Originally released on MANDY's debut album last year, this EP now sheds new light on "Rabbit Moon". For those who first encountered the German duo via mid-00s anthems like "Body Language", this music will come as a surprise. The reworked version from MANDY themselves is laden down with lush strings, rasping percussion and a lithe backing track, while their second "8am" take sees the track's authors turn it into a chiming, hypnotic workout, bolstered by blissed out bells and a wiry Detroit rhythm. Gerd Janson's remix is led by splurging acid lines and makes for the third and last expectation-defying twist in this tale.
