Milton Jackson
Review: Only the third release here from DKOI - the name stands for 'Different Kinds of Idiots' - a fledgling label headed up by a pair of Glaswegian DJ/producers, Tiptoes and Bowfingers. For DKOI003 they've recruited a fellow Scot with a much longer track record, Milton Jackson, who serves up a brace of very fine cuts. 'Bad Decisions', with its cut-up vox, organ parps and monster of a bassline, brings the retro UK garage vibes, while the accompanying 'All Got Game' is another garage-leaning affair that sports a sampled "they all got game, they all complain" rap vocal and some great stabby keys. More like this, please!

Review: As far as we're aware, this EP on Lazy Days Recordings marks the first time that these two British scene stalwarts - long-serving Scottish house producer Milton Jackson and sometime Galliano keyboardist turned solo artist Ski Oakenfull - have joined forces in the studio. The headline attraction is undoubtedly 'Integration', a gorgeously colourful fusion of synth-pop-influenced sunshine house and Italo-style, arpeggio-driven nu-disco. Lazy Days head honcho Fred Everything provides a more tactile, loved-up dub, while there are two bonus cuts to enjoy: sun-splashed Balearic deep house number 'Got To Find', and 'Verve', an Italo-goes-deep house solo chugger from Milton Jackson.

Review: The DJ, record producer, and DJ Awards winner, Milton Jackson is a regular to Freerange and has been delivering the imprint with increasingly classy servings of melody-rich, musically complex deep house. The experienced Glaswegian continues in this vein on his latest Freerange outing, giddily skipping through vibraphone-sporting classic house (gorgeously deep and tactile opener 'Need Your Love'), sunset-friendly nods to Kerri Chandler (the colourful, warming and percussively rolling 'Day In, Day Out') and sparkling blends of Kai Alce style soulful deepness and analogue-rich tactility ('Closure').

Review: Believe it or not, 15 years has now passed since Barry Christie AKA Milton Jackson first appeared on Freerange Records. He recently returned to the imprint for a collaborative EP with his long-time friend (and studio buddy) Shir-I-Khan, and here delivers his first solo missive for Freerange since 2015. There's plenty of highlights to be found across the pleasingly strong five-tracker, from the locked-in late night bump of 'Remember' - a proper after-hours affair featuring subtle nods to Pepe Bradock's 'Deep Burnt' - and the sparkling, sun-kissed lusciousness of 'Lockdown Love', to the chugging mid-tempo bliss of 'Adriatica' and the pitched-down synth-pop/electronic disco shuffle of 'Miami Voice'. In a word: gorgeous!

Review: For his latest missive on long-time home Freerange Records, Tom Szirtes AKA Shur-I-Khan has joined forces with long-time friend and fellow deep house veteran Milton Jackson, a producer who was particularly active throughout the 2000s. Check first chunky but picturesque title track 'Paper Cut', where stirring strings, undulating lead lines, bubbly electronics and a wonderfully rubbery sequenced bassline wrap around dusty deep house drums. Next, get your ears around 'Hit Thinking', an ultra-melodious, positive and summery breeze of an electronic house gem (all fluttering flute sounds, cheery pianos and more rising and falling synth sounds), before admiring closing cut 'Sixth Section', which sees them successfully tiptoe the fine line between chunky peak-time heaviness and breezy, early evening positivity.

Review: Man (or woman) of mystery Hyenah is the latest DJ to contribute to the digital only Focus on Freerange compilation series. Like previous volumes, this features a selection of unmixed personal favourites from the Freerange Records catalogue, plus a continuous DJ mix. While the mix is entertaining, it's the quality of the unmixed cuts that make this an essential purchase. There's a smattering of deliciously soulful, bleary-eyed deep house treats (Andreas Saag, Swell Session vs Mark De Clive-Lowe), a swathe of chugging, late night tech-house treats (Dixon remixing Jimpster, Manoo remixing compiler Hyenah), and one of the most overlooked reworks of recent times (Genius of Time's fantastic rub of Kyodai's "Mi Rumba").

Review: Its 20 years of Jamie Odell aka Jimpster's revered deep house imprint and he's celebrating in great style with this 20 track compilation that demonstrates that business is as good as ever and they're testament to how much the label has remained relevant. The label head honcho himself appears of course; first with Luv Jam on the smooth and dubby "We Play Pads" and the sombre and emotive "Ceilings" featuring Laura Barrick. Other highlights include Bulgarian hardware maverick KiNK's "Roads", Detroit Swindle's fiercely bumpin' "Race Against The Machine" and Pittsburgh Track Authority's magnificent high tech soul jam "Oculus Sinister".

Review: There's much to admire on this second remix EP from rising label Black Key, not least Moodtrap's delightfully rubbery, synth-laden deep house tweak of Giovanni Damico's "Love Me". It's fluid and tactile - all warm chords and bluesy vocal samples - but with enough rhythmic pulse to keep a dancefloor interested throughout. The rest of the EP features reworks of Milton Jackson's "5 Cities". The reliable Andy Ash delivers the best version, layering deep garage chords and liquid melodies on top of booming drums and a sub-bothering bassline. Tom Sevinski's super-deep tweak is also worth a listen.

Review: Amazingly, it's been eight long years since the release of Freerange's first Colour Series compilation ("Yellow"). A few things have changed in that time for Jimpster's label, but his commitment to musically rich deep house remains. That's much in evidence here, particularly on the contributions from Andre Lodemann, fast-rising starlet Mic Newman and Jimpster himself (whose woozy "Late Night Blues" is his best for some time). There's also a distinct old skool feel to some of the cuts, with Alexkid's percussive "Class of 95" and Milton Jackson's robust "DS1" offering plenty of vintage US house flavour. The real standout, though, is Arithmetic's' "Time", which sounds like a long lost deep house anthem.
