Review: It's the time of the year when labels look back on the previous 12 months and offer up handy retrospective compilations featuring the strongest cuts they've released in the last year. Dirt Crew's offering, which runs to 12 tidy tracks, is one of the strongest on offer. Starting with the rolling, string-laden sweetness of J Peacock's disco-house loop jam, 'Philly Track', the collection attractively sashays between acid-flecked positivity (the summery excellence of 'Time Is The Perfect Lover' by Love Will Say So), tactile boogie-influenced deep house warmth (Idan Hanna's 'Mountain Peaks'), glassy-eyed melodiousness (Petals In Sound's spacey 'Dial Tone'), immersive excellence ('In Dreams' by Matthew Ferness), jazzy piano house (Matthew Ferness's 'The Ego') and jaunty, uplifting, melody-rich nu-disco/house fusion (Steve Mill's 'Dye The Blip').

Review: Since first appearing on Beat X Changers in 2015, Matthew Ferness has notched up tracks and EPs on labels including Fina, DOBRO, GLBDOM, Inhale Exhale and Hustler Trax. While that's impressive, we'd argue that this six-track set for Dirt Crew Recordings is his most high-profile outing yet. There's certainly plenty to admire across the EP, from the cinematic nu-jazz brilliance of title track 'High Expectations' and the sub-heavy, string-laden deep house heaviness of 'She's Too Misty', to the piano-laden peak-time warmth of 'The Ego' and the driving, ambient wrapped dancefloor loveliness of 'In Dreams'. Elsewhere, 'Covelant Bond' is a smoky blend of ambient and reverb-heavy nu-jazz, while 'I Might Have Been Wrong' pairs low-slung house grooves with decidedly melodious and atmospheric instrumentation.

Review: Some fine festive fare here from the fast-rising DOBRO imprint, who've used the season of goodwill as an excuse to deliver another fine, 16-rack compilation of previously unreleased material. Kicking off with the emotive, shuffling deep house loveliness of Buzz Compass's 'Hartbit', the collection gleefully skips between sample-rich disco-house (Mutenoise, Leiba, Hotmood), quirky Latin house (Babak, Kostenko Brothers), squelchy late-80s techno revivalism (SIRS and Lovebirds), nu-boogie (Scruscru with label boss Iner), wall-of-sound deep house positivity (Selva, the jaunty vintage late '80s 'garage-house' vibes of Sun Rhythms) and hazy, sunrise-ready wonder (Kerrinis and TonyZzz). Brilliantly programmed, it's a fine compilation of positive, ear-pleasing excellence.

Review: The four tracks that make up the 'Seasonal Companion EP' by Canadian producer come from that place on the musical spectrum where deep house and downtempo/chill-out vibes collide. 'At First Sight' could, on first hearing, pass as a Beloved instrumental from the late 80s, while 'Escapade', with its fluttering flamenco guitars, live-sounding house percussion and funk bassline, has something of a west coast-ish feel (think The Doobie Brothers, Steely Dan etc). Saine's remix of 'At First Sight' is a housier pass that wouldn't sound out of place on Freerange, while the EP's closed out by 'Solitude', a Latin-tinged downtempo jam.
