Tiger & Woods
Review: Italian duo Tiger & Woods return with four very solid house and disco jams on their own T&W label. 'Fake U' is a loopy, tracky affair, with an insistent piano riff front and centre and a bassline that gets seriously whompy in places, 'Do It Do Me' is a more uptempo affair with spacey synths and will give the floor an energy injection for sure, while 'Silly Little Games' heads in the opposite direction, coming on like a love letter to early 80s boogie and Italo. The real attention-getter though is 'Wild Stream', presumably so titled because of its obvious debt to the 'wild pitch' house style of the mid-90s.

Review: After nigh on three years apart, during which time they concentrated on their numerous solo projects, Italian twosome Tiger & Woods are back with a brand-new EP. In truth, nobody does loop-powered, synth-sporting, boogie-sampling house better, so it's little surprise to see little variation from their usual blueprint. That's not a criticism, though, because all four tracks are fantastic. Choose between the throbbing, subtly acid-flecked pump of 'Sue Me', the classic T&W boogie-house build of 'Licence to Vibe' (featuring vocalist Em, who provides some great hooks), the 'Gin Nation'-meets-piano house roll of 'Chicken Bone', and the viciously cut-up, synth-heavy hedonism of '16 Red'.

Review: As the title suggests, this surprise compilation of exclusive material from Gerd Janson's Running Back label was put together in response to the killing of George Floyd, and in order to raise funds for the National Association for the NAACP's Legal Defence Fund. Given his connections, it's perhaps unsurprising that Janson has managed to tease out terrific tracks from the likes of KiNK (the sparkling, synth-laden goodness of 'Machine Funk'), Genius of Time (a fine dub of the dusty, ultra-deep late night hypnotism of 'Network Labyrinth'), Roman Flugel (the snappy analogue heaviness of 'Feel The Heat (String Mix)' and Tiger & Woods (rainbow-coloured deep Italo-disco jam 'Lonely Toad').

Review: The once enigmatic duo consisting of Valerio 'Larry Tiger' Del Prete and David Woods aka veteran producer Marco Passarani return on their eponymous imprint, for some good ol' fashioned disco goodness on the 'Boot & Heel' EP. As a matter of fact, this might be the first T&W product that could, unashamedly, be described as Italo! From the neon-lit euphoria of "Gotta Change" and it's Fred Ventura-like vocal, to the sexy and sun-kissed balearic charm of "Feel The Fire" and channeling the Den Harrow / old school CBS radio programming side of things on the utterly electrifying "Rio Rio Rio" - it's what they best described themselves the perfect soundtrack to the fading summer and next year's hedonistic club season.

Tony Humphries / Various
Review: The choice of Tony Humphries to mix Running Back's first label compilation is a significant one. Getting his big break in the early '80s as an understudy for the legendary Shep Pettibone's Kiss FM show, Humphries went on to become one of the defining DJs of house music's formative years, with residencies at New Jersey's Club Zanzibar and London's Ministry of Sound. His previous mixes illustrate his continuing ability to bridge dance music's past and present and his new one for Gerd Janson's imprint will mark its fifteenth anniversary. It is a timely reminder of what has made the Frankfurt powerhouse remain on many favourite label lists for over a decade. It's a mix of golden oldies and recent classics alike: from Todd Terje's smash hit from several years ago "Ragysh" and the anthemic "The Voice From Planet Love" by Precious System, through to more recent bombs. Two by Running back alumnus Shan ("Bassline Party"/"Work It") and the legendary Mr G's Motor City ode "Ben & Gerd" (Killin It M Day).

Review: Everyone's favourite boogie-sampling house duo returns, once again rinsing the jokey golf references on sophomore set On The Green Again. Given that they nailed their tried-and-tested formula years back - think immaculately produced, boogie-sampling loop jams designed for maximum club pleasure - it's little surprise to find that they barely deviate from the blueprint throughout the album's 13 tracks. It's a formula that guarantees more thrills than spills, though, and the highlights come thick and fast. We're particularly enjoying the rubbery bassline and fizzing synths of "Bestilissimo", the life-affirming sweetness of "Ginger & Fred" (arguably this album's "Gin Nation"), and the muscular funk of "Gentlemen Only, Ladies Forbidden", though digital-only bonus "No More Talking" is also darned tasty.
