Review: After a run of releases on his own SlothAcid imprint, Sacha Robotti makes his bow on Bristol-based Shall Not Fade. Interestingly, it features a clutch of collaborations, JSMN adding dead-eyed, stylised spoken word vocals to the hands-aloft, increasingly percussive piano house rush of 'U+I', before Tessla joins Robotti on two tracks: the swirling electronics, restless builds and energetic releases of 'That Feelin' and the more warped, heavyweight and mind-mangling peak-time sweat of 'Be Your Baby'. Elsewhere, 'All I Know' is another rushing, seemingly colossal slab of mid-90s piano house energy, and 'Deeper Love' sees Robotti make merry with a classic house acapella, heavy house drums and raw bass.
Review: Dirtybird showcase their deeper side on a new 14-track complation featuring some of the label's best loved artists (Claude VonStroke, Julio Bashmore, Sascho Robotti, Pezzner) alongside a host of more up-and-coming names. There's quite a variety of sounds on offer here, with cuts ranging from the dreamy, bassy minimalism of opener "Aundy" to the pop leanings of Scavazza's "Shake Your Hearts". The best bits, though, come largely from the deepest end of the spectrum: Tom Flynn's Amp Fiddler collab "The Future" is a late-night, jazzy delight while Dernis and Robot Love bring us a couple of proper deep house bullets.
Review: When Belgian producer Kill Frenzy first surfaced back in the late '90s, he made a name for himself as a purveyor or robust, slightly jarring electro-house. He's clearly mellowed with age, because this EP for Food Music is decidedly deep. "Errybody" is warm and woozy, all tactile beats, intoxicating chords and drawn-out builds, while the Shadow Child and Tom Flynn Remix turns it into a wonky, acid-flecked stepper. "I Like It", his collaboration with Sacha Robotti, is deeper and dreamier, with just enough garage influence to excite the Hypercolour heads. It's good, as is B-Ju's sparse, percussive, low end-heavy deep garage re-fix.
