Review: As the title suggests, this action-packed, 15-track collection offers up a swathe of hand-picked remixes from the Dirt Crew Recordings catalogue. Presenting a range of complimentary takes on house music but rooted in the label's deep and occasionally disco-tinged philosophy, there's naturally much to enjoy. Our picks of a very strong bunch include the colourful nu-disco-meets-piano-house flex of Lorenz Rhode's revision of S3A's 'Clarence J Bootlicker', a gorgeous, glassy-eyed Balearic house tweak of Rhode's own 'And I Said' courtesy of Tensnake, Leaves and Iron Curtis's ultra-dreamy and tactile take on The Tortoise's 'Lost Forever', a squelchy and locked-in Motorcitysoul re-rub of Dirt Crew, and Nebraska's inspired rework of 'Peach Shuffle' by Damp? [sic].

Review: Although the title may be Deeper Detroit 2, don't be fooled as the artists on this latest various release for Kolour Recordings come from distinctly different places. Francis Inferno Orchestra has been setting alight his home turf of Australia with a refined take on deep house that sits comfortably in the Session Victim field of funk-infused grooves, which comes through in abundance on "All Up In This Shit". Istanbul's Sinan Kaya takes a more dubbed out approach on the luscious "Day On Vine", while Melbourne's The Tortoise gets remixed by Genius Of Time into a steamy, decidedly stripped down slice of wild frontier house.

Review: There's plenty of breezy summer warmth on this split four-tracker from the ever-reliable Melbourne Deepcast camp. Andy Hart joins forces with Max Graef on opener "Super Strain", the aural equivalent of a stroll down the banks of the Yarra River at dusk, all squinting horns, shuffling grooves and woozy party atmos. Graef's "Sensation" continues on a similar theme, thickening the percussion and adding some tipsy, bluesy chords for added humid, late night effect. M5K opts to drop the tempo and prioritize vintage, new age synths on the intoxicating "Moon Vexed", while The Tortoise brilliantly blends deep house, nu-disco and soft-focus soul on "The Real Thing".

Review: A welcome return for Under The Shade's sister label Third Strike, following a brief hiatus/winter spent chasing the sun in far-flung resorts (delete as appropriate). For their 10th release, they've handed the reigns over to label regular The Tortoise. He turns in a hazy, bass-heavy deep house cut that slowly transforms from a druggy chugger into a disco-sampling anthem over the course of seven action-packed minutes. The Mole & Herno provide the first of two remixes, delivering a low-slung version that could provide the soundtrack to some kind of weird voodoo ritual. Rondenion provides the other rework (a spiraling disco/deep house mash-up), while "Keep On Keeping On" delivers 10 minutes of sparse, proto-house-meets-deep house oddness.

Review: Melbourne is becoming quite the breeding ground for burgeoning disco-house talent these days isn't it? We've had Tornado Wallace and Fantastic Man, and now The Tortoise (aka Torquhil Anderson) steps up to the plate with a debut release on the excellent 3rd Strike imprint. The three original tracks on offer are filter-heavy jams that flit effortlessly between disco loops and deep house atmospherics. Meanwhile Berlin's resident South Korean disco head, Hunee, adds his inimitable touch to "Next Time Around", adding some raw house bump to the original. A hugely impressive debut - more please Mr Tortoise.

Review: It's sexytime down Dirt Crew HQ, as the esteemed German label gathers together a selection of deep house cuts guaranteed to get you staring lovingly into the eyes of your nearest and dearest with the pie-eyed look of a post-orgasmic teenager. As you'd perhaps, there's plenty to stir the loins, from the discofied grooves of Plamn D'Acqua (the "Midas Touch" biting "House Orchid") and mellow moods of Nick Harris to the ultra-deep, lingerie-sporting slinkiness of Soul Minority, the Tortoise Orchestra and Iron Curtis. For those really sweaty moments, there's even an acid-flecked excursion from Mdione. As for the money shot, try Dirt Crew's own "Deep Love".
