Review: Taikomochi co-founder Dead Rose Music Company has appeared on all manner of labels since making his debut 13 years ago, Wolf Music, Young Adults and Let's Play House included. Here he adds another imprint to his CV via a first outing on hyped outlet Pomme Frite. He hits the ground running with opener 'Baby Please', where echoing vocal samples from a much-loved Philly Soul classic rise above a bouncy, peak-time ready disco-house groove, before doffing a cap to Tiger & Woods and pulsating Italo-disco on the throbbing 'Captain Future'. He reaches for filters, reverb and delay on the swirling disco-house loop jam 'Pride', while closing cut 'Tryin' is a hazy, slowly building deep house jam built on mercilessly tweaked and edited disco samples.

Review: If you're after a near faultless selection of peak-time ready house and disco jams, this special Amsterdam Dance Event compilation from Yam Who's Black Riot could just be the ticket. There's a good mixture of fresh floor-fillers - see the sample-heavy, boompty style Chicago house pulse of The Phantom Revenge's "Workout Music", Phonik D's piano-laden disco-house romp "Talking Vintage" and the smooth, life-affirming deep house warmth of Thatmanmonkz's hazy revision of Amp Fiddler's "Your Love Is All I Need" - and recent revisions of classic cuts. In this category you've find a superb Hi-Fi Sean revision of Psychotropic's rave-era anthem "Hypnotic", a sparkling Kiko Navarro re-make of Kenny "Jammin" Jason's "Can U Dance 2015" and a wonderful, filter-sporting disco-house take on CN Williams "Mr Bump Man" by Yam Who and Jaegerossa.

Review: Having previously impressed with his left-of-centre Friends of Friends imprint, Leeor Brown has teamed up with LA pal David Fisher to launch Young Adults, a new label dedicated to the fluid sounds currently coming out of the disco and house scenes. This first label sampler sets their stall out impressively. Starting with the brilliant "Jus Us" by LA's own Suzanne Kraft - a Paul Simpson style proto-house jam with a deliciously old skool vocal - the EP works through a variety of comfy, touchy-feely flavas. There's a dash of loopy deep house goodness from Dead Rose Music Company, some lush, cowbell-driven vocal deepness from Urulu and a touch of retro-futurist acid goodness from LOL Boys and Grown Folk. Recommended.
