Review: Dekmantel welcomes Theo Kottis with an EP of vibrant, melodically-charged house, techno, and electro, boasting a distinct '90s edge. Lighthouse signals a shift in focus for the London-based Scottish producer, reflecting a matured sound honed through a self-imposed creative reset. The title track, embraced by DJs like Ben UFO and Palms Trax, exemplifies Kottis' prowess in seamlessly blending club music's finest elements into a cohesive and potent whole. From the driving Reese bassline to the sharp 4/4 drums and Motor City pads, it's a techno hybrid of the highest caliber. The EP continues with "Warp", "Take Control" and "Distance", each showcasing Kottis' knack for crafting impactful club tracks infused with iconic '90s sounds.

Review: Following admired outings on Last Night on Earth, Skint, Shall Not Fade and, most recently, Permanent Vacation, Theo Kottis makes his bow on Live at Robert Johnson. It's an excellent four-tracker all told, with the Edinburgh-based producer serving up colourful, vibrant, sometimes nostalgic workouts that wrap-solid house grooves in attractive synth sounds and the kind of kaleidoscopic melodies often associated with the classier end of the nu-disco spectrum. To our ears, rushing, slightly dubbed-out piano house number 'Slow Times' is probably the pick of the bunch - it's a saucer-eyed, warehouse-ready delight - but others may prefer the sun-soaked, acid-laden, densely layered wonder of 'Wisdom', the deeper but more up-tempo throb of 'Monday Monday', with its 90s synth-organ sounds and swelling chords, or the classic U.S deep house feel of 'Swing'.

Review: During last year's numerous pandemic lockdowns, Theo Kottis found himself dreaming of sweaty, euphoric peak-time dancefloors. So much so, in fact, that he decided to join forces with "life and soul of the party" (his words) Busola and make something suitably excitable and anthemic. 'The Mirror' is undoubtedly a feelgood, party-hearty affair, with the pair peppering a bouncy, bass heavy old school house groove with spoken word snippets, MK style Korg M1 riffs, bold piano stabs and undulating analogue bass. Kottis solo cut 'Onda' is similarly cheery and carefree, with delay-laden piano riffs, gorgeous pads, jazzy Rhodes fills and stirring string samples rising above deeper bass and even crunchier, crisper drums.

Review: Amsterdam's DGTL returns with a fresh one here by UK tech house hero Theo Kottis, the latest artist on their esteemed roster. The Scottish DJ/producer and Sub Club (Glasgow) resident presents "Sun" which was inspired by a particular poolside set he played in Ibiza on a sunny afternoon. It is a glorious mix of classic house and trance motifs that are altogether geared for another summer of love. This is followed by the equally blissed-out euphoria of "Sprint" which is a more melodic and groove based affair, featuring an epic chord progression made for perfect drama on the dancefloor.

Review: Since 2006 Permanent Vacation has earned its reputation for releasing some of the best in contemporary house, electro, disco and leftfield music, showcased and celebrated most with their various artist compilations. As lockdown in some parts of the world begins to ease, maybe a sixth Permanent Vacation is in order, which this time introduces a fresh cast to the series with our ears drawn to the abstract dub, drum and rhythm tracks of Bawrut, and Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Rae in the tripped out "The Bukit Have Eyes". Smallville's main man in Paris Jacques Bon turns in a stair-sailing synth number of breezy, uplifting house in "Reverse Flight", with techier drums and club tracks coming from DJ Kuesse ("Tropicana Girl") and the au courant electro sounds of Eliott Litrowski's "Spray", and Sedef's Adasi's "Tender Trip" a highlight too.

Review: Global Underground's Nubreed series has a huge amount of kudos, having brought respected DJs like Lee Burridge, Steve Lawler and Danny Howells to attention during the early 00s with a series of iconic mixes. Although it was on hold for much of the second decade of this millennium, it has been successfully resurrected and now gives the same platform to Theo Kottis. In keeping with its usual format, this instalment sees the Beautiful Strangers boss explore a range of styles and sound across two mixes. Accordingly, his selection ranges from Gigi Masin's melodic piano composition, "Maja", to the Mountain People's sensuous deep house "La Onda", taking in some underground classics like DJ Assassin's garage/house hybrid "Face in the Crowd" as well as left of centre oddities like The Horn's "Villager". It's a fitting testament to the Nubreed aesthetic.

Review: Following recent outings on Anjunadeep and Last Night On Earth, Theo Kottis returns to Moda Black, the label on which he made his name. "It Wasn't Meant To Be", which features a trio of spine-tingling breakdowns, sees the Edinburgh-based producer effortlessly joining the dots between dreamy deep house and slicker, tech-tinged flavours. The latter influence comes to the fore on "Running Nowhere", where drifting chords and chiming melody lines snake their way around a shuffling, tech-house groove. The E.P also boasts a pair of fine remixes from Mobilee man And.Id. There's a chunky, low-slung, mind-altering "Rave Nostalgia" mix - complete with rush-inducing piano breakdown - and a pulsating, no-holds-barred "Acid Dub".

Review: Jaymo & Andy George have etched out an impressive 15 year career, with demand for their 'texture heavy' releases on many big labels seeing their success grow to a global scale. Here they present a mix on their own Moda Black imprint, and just shy of an hour it's a concise snapshot of them doing what they do best: delivering deep, engrossing, synth-rich grooves. Highlights include the brooding, doom-jack of "Ghost" by Zeke Africa, the beguiling synth cascades of "Ratasta" by Upercent and Javier OrduA+a, and all 11 minutes of Dubfire's remarkable, blissed-out techno-disco rework.
