Ruff Stuff MP3 & Music Downloads at Juno Download

Review: Ruff Stuff - the recording alias of Berlin-based Italian Gianfranco "Nanni" Barnaba - has long been associated with weighty, energy-packed, sample-heavy workouts of the sort that work wonders during peak-time sets. There's plenty of this kind of techno-tempo, sample-house action on Barnaba's latest untitled EP (his seventh to date). There's a kind of bass-heavy deep house-meets-disco-house flex to opener 'High Club Alive', while 'Badass Groove' sees him reach for rubbery, New Jersey house bass, classic house organ sounds and seductive synth strings. The mid-90s US garage organ sounds return - this time accompanied by bubbly acid lines - on revivalist Italo-house number 'Growler', before a fine EP draws to a close via the hypnotic, all-action deep techno warmth of 'Solid Fragments'.

Review: The joy of the digital download editions of the DJ Kicks series is not so much the included DJ mix - which, of course, is invariably excellent - but the accompanying full-length, DJ friendly tracks gathered by that edition's selector, in this case Elevate Berlin record store owner (and fine producer) Cinthie Christl. Her mostly club-friendly selections are little less than superb, moving from driving, organ-and-bass-rich U.S-style house (Terrence Parker, Niles Cooper, Sandil, her own exclusive 'Organ (DJ Kicks)') and life-affirming piano-house (Ruff Stuff), to deep two-step (Camion Bazar), slamming techno-funk (Anil Aras), dusty techno (Adriyano), deep breakbeat wooziness (Ben Hauke) and deep, dreamy acid jack ('Anna Wall'). In other words, it's a blindingly good selection - and Cinthie's DJ mix is wildly entertaining, too.
