Review: Dam Swindle's Heist Recordings celebrate their 10th anniversary this year, and here we have the fourth in a series of EPs marking that milestone. The EP opens with the surging, pulsing 'Alfa' from Crackazat with its insistent, rolling piano line, before Andy Hart injects a little old school funk/soul flava on 'Epsilon Girls'. Makez's 'Different Planets' adds an Afro-style chant to the classic deep house blueprint, Kassian take us into more stripped-back territory with the fluid '8th Movement' and its familiar "music!" vocal sample, before Nachtbraker play us out with 'Hamdi', a slightly more leftfield, bottom-heavy shuffler. The quality standard is high throughout, so here's to another decade!

Review: As part of Heist Recordings' ongoing 10th birthday celebrations, label founders Dam Swindle have decided to showcase some of the 'Hidden Gems' lurking in the imprint's back catalogue. It's a smart move, because there's plenty of high-grade dancefloor heat to be found across the 15 under-celebrated tracks on show. For proof, check the squelchy synth-bass, rushing piano riffs and classic house vibes of Fouk's 'Truffles', the gorgeous sci-fi techno melodiousness of Lord of the Samurai's 'Space Designer', the sun-splashed, jazz-flecked excellence of Crackazat's 'We Know', the low-slung, drum machine driven headiness of Adesse Versions' 'Push It Along' and the drowsy, soul-flecked late-night deepness pf Marina Trench and Sabrina Bellaouel's 'Wake Up'.

Review: Peach Discs label bosses, Shanti Celeste and Gramrcy, have announced the release of the Capichone EP, which marks its first release of the year. The four-track EP from Amsterdam-based producer and DJ Maurits Verwoerd aka Nachtbraker is a tribute to the mid-'90s Dutch and Italian house sound. The EP's melodic hooks are woven together with loose-limbed drum tracks and wiggly arrangements. Whether it's the moody rave antics of the title track, the boompty groove of "Inbellen" or the hypnotic electro-infused funk of "Treunq1", Verwoed brings his A game on this stellar EP.

Review: Nachtbraker has tended towards the prolific in recent years, but by his standards he's had a very quiet 2020. Here he fires up his self-titled label for the first time in over 12 months and offers up a typically eclectic selection of club-focused treats. The star attraction is arguably 'Bay Be Blu', an all-action affair rich in bustling breakbeats, jungle-influenced sub-bass weight, and tons of attractive, melodious synthesizer sounds. The tidy original mix kicks off the EP, and the arguably even better 12" version ends it. In between, you'll find the atmospheric, ambient house influenced, deep house/breaks fusion of 'Warmer', the bleeping, UKG-tinged late-night swing of 'Tangelo Dreams', and the off-kilter electro/skewed house fusion of 'Drip'.

Review: Quartet Series main man Nachtbraker has released music on plenty of high profile imprints over the years - Heist, Dirt Crew and Hudd Traxx most frequently - but he's never released on Aus Music before. His label debut is a typically confident affair, with the Dutch producer dishing up a mixture of proto-house influenced deep house funk ("QT & The Lizards"), chunky house grooves and stunning, synth-pop influenced electronics ("De Zon") and deliciously dreamy, sun-kissed breakbeat house ("Nar Hon Inte Ar Dar (Sunrise Mix)"). Arguably best of all though is opener "Fatoe Morgana", a throbbing, all action mix of razor-sharp acid riffs, rising synthesizer motifs, drowsy chords and restless but sturdy grooves.

Review: Nachtbraker's latest rock-solid EP features previously unreleased remixes of tracks from his 2018 album "When You Find A Stranger In The Alps" by some of his musical friends and acquaintances. The headline-grabbing rework comes from Wolf Music regular Frits Wentink, who brilliantly re-imagines "LOL" as a rubbery, off-kilter fusion of broken beats, tropical vocal snippets, dreamy chords and P-funk-fuelled synth sounds. Elsewhere, Central gives "Flambo" the French touch treatment, Nachtbraker himself reaches for the squelchy acid bass on an off-kilter deep house "Evolutionary Mix" of "Just Doing My Thang" and Nemo Vachez's dub mix of "Horsepony" is the kind of dubbed-out ambient techno stroll that stirs memories of classic early '90s releases.

Review: Back in the spring, Quartet Series founder Nachtbraker launched a new label in his own name via the typically strong "Parmigiana EP". Somewhat predictably, this follow-up is equally as potent. Our pick of the bunch is opener "Leonardo Ceviche", a thrusting, bass-heavy peak-time workout that layers deep space chords and starry synth lines over a chunky techno groove. "One" is, if anything, even more ballsy and bass-heavy, with audible dub-house influences and plenty of energy-creating pots and pans percussion, while "Havel" sees the Dutch producer deliver a glassy-eyed chunk of loved-up deep house lusciousness. Brilliantly, the accompanying "Trip Mix" reinvents the track as a DJ Sotofett style analogue dub workout.

Review: Nachtbraker is in a suitably giddy mood on this four-track missive, which marks the Dutch producer's first new material since the release of his rather fine album "When You Find A Stranger In The Alps" last autumn. All four tracks are ballsy and excitable, with the Quartet Series founder wrapping spacey electronics and rich chords around tough-off-kilter rhythms and booming basslines. Our pick of the bunch is probably "Number 33", where loose-limbed drums and powerful sub-bass underpin creepy melodic motifs and cascading lead lines, though the deep electro-influenced shuffle of "Parmigiana" and bumping, UK garage-influenced deepness of "Mild Lifestyle" are almost as impressive.

Review: Given his productivity over the last four years, it's rather a surprise to find that "When You Find A Stranger In The Alps" is Mautits Verwoerd AKA Nachtbraker's debut album. Predictably, the sometime Heist Rand Dirt Crew producer is in fine form throughout, serving up an expansive, 13-track set that effortlessly flits between sparkling, melodious deep house floor fillers ("Flambo", "Randy"), reggae-tinged club tracks ("NSFW"), bouncy techno ("You Can't Run"), soul and disco-inspired mid-tempo shufflers ("The Dream Sequence", "Just Doing My Thing"), funk rock smashers ("Aliens") and a surprisingly large number of ambient interludes and MPC-driven beat-scapes. In other words, it ticks a lot of boxes whilst remaining enjoyable and entertaining throughout.

Review: Somewhat surprisingly, this three-track EP marks Nachtbraker's first solo salvo on the Quartet Series label he established in 2016. Happily, it's a bold and thrill-packed affair, starting with the wild, jazz-funk-goes-disco-house flex of opener "Small Towel People", which peppers a pounding house groove with stratospheric synth solos, jazz-fired double bass and all manner of quirky, energy-packed samples. Elsewhere, the sweaty jazz-house-XXL vibe continues on shoulder-swinging smasher "Kippendijen", whose bombastic beats are perfectly matched by a relentless bassline, before "Zomaar" sees our hero effortlessly join the dots between jaunty, MPC-driven hip-hop beats and drowsy, chopped-up deep house.

Review: Predictably, the latest volume in Heist's Roundup series, in which label artists remix each other's tracks, is another must-heave collection of club cuts. Check, for example, Fouk's tasty interpretation of Nachtbraker's "Hamdi" - a glorious fusion of rubbery disco, sparkling electrofunk and percussion-laden deep house - the Afro-fired Alma Negra deep house remix of Nebraska's "Big Plate Chicken" and the toasty peak-time warmth of the latter's fine revision of Fouk's "With Lasers". Elsewhere, label bosses Detroit Swindle deliver a lusciously loved-up and melodious, peak-time take on Parker Madicine's "Heartbreaker" and Nachtbraker turns the Swindlers' "Can't Hold It" into a dub-fired chunk of hot-stepping deep house goodness.

Review: Heist Recordings brings down the curtain on another successful year with their now traditional Roundup release, an expansive EP featuring "family remixes" of material released over the previous 12 months. As usual, there's much to enjoy, from the cheery, disco-tinged goodtime bump of Detroit Swindle's rework of Obas Nenoor's "Wakee", to Frits Wentink's jazzy, lo-fi, swinging deep house remake of Detroit Swindle's "Future Imperfect". Other highlights include a skuzzy, acid-fired interpretation of Nebraska's "It Won't Be Long" by Nachtbraker, and Nebraska's sunny, jammed-out fix-up of Frits Wentink's "Rising Sun, Falling Coconut". Best of all, though, is Ouer's remix of Nachtbraker's "Pollo Con Pollo", which boasts twinkling electric piano solos riding a thrusting analogue bassline and breezy disco guitars.

Review: Just like a well-placed lamp, coffee table or framed painting of dogs playing pool, Nachtbraker's latest EP for Dirt Crew Recordings Really Ties The Room Together. Interior design advice aside, the title track is one of his strongest for some time; a thrusting, energy-packed bumper packed full of intricate percussion hits, cyclical chords, fuzzy vocal samples, occasional horn stabs and subtle Latin influences. The fun continues with the warm, low-slung bass, drowsy chords and metronomic drum hits of "Rew". Arguably best of all, though, is the accompanying "Rerub" of that track, which transforms it into a swinging, acid-laden jacker.

Review: Congratulations to Germany's Dirt Crew Recordings, which marks a century of releases with a celebratory volume of the popular Deep Love compilation series. As befits the momentous occasion, the 11 tracks on offer are all exclusive and previously unreleased. Predictably, there's plenty to enjoy, from the dusty, crackly deep house warmth of Felix Leifur's "Feels Like", and classic U.S garage swing of Ponty Mython's "New York, New York", to the sweet, jazz-flecked haziness of Harry Wolfman's "Rainbow Set", and Huerta's dreamy, glassy-eyed Balearic deep house cut, "Blvrd". Throw in fine contributions from big hitters Detroit Swindle, Nachtbraker and The Revenge, and you have an undeniably essential collection.
