Review: On the latest instalment of the long-running DJ-Kicks series, Peggy Gou paints a vivid picture. It starts with the widescreen ambience of Space Time Continuum's 1993 debut, "Fluresence", before moving into her own, cosmic "Hungboo" and the niggling acid of Pearson Sound's "Earwig", a contemporary cousin to Plastikman's Musik. There are other endearing oddities here, such as Andrew Weatherall's seductive house version of Sly & Lovechild's "The World According To..." and the raw drums of Kyle Hall's "Flemmenup". Gou has also included a Detroit techno classic, Psyche's "Crackdown", but balances this out with new, unreleased tracks from I:Cube - "Cassette Jam 1993" sees the maverick French producer deliver a frazzled, hazy affair - and Hiver's pulsating, acid-flecked "Pert".
Review: Freemasons don't do things by halves - when they set out to write a hit, they usually smash the top 10. And when they release an album it's usually massive. This is no exception. 26 originals and two perfectly seamless mixes, this is the ultimate Freemasons document that ranges from the deeper, sultry struts of "In The Blue" to the big bass and mild rave motifs of "Let It Be Me" via their epic Kris Menace and Lifelike homage "Discopolis". Covering every corner of the wide world of house, complete with a few of their Pegasus side project tracks, this is easily the Freemasons' biggest, most comprehensive document to date.
