Review: Glaswegian house impresario Tiptoes delivers a fiery EP, Record Business, which provides a third outing on the SlothBoogie label. These tracks have been highly anticipated since he teased them at a legendary 24-hour party in Berlin, sending crowds into a frenzy of track IDs goes the story. The lead cut is a peak-hour house banger no doubt, while "Call Me" serves up some Motown loops, jackin' brass stabs, and a vocal complaint about Tiptoes' unreturned calls. "Food" then provides a deep house roller with hypnotic loops and tribal rhythms to hang on to, with Tiptoes exploring his deeper side with "Brothers & Sisters" that offers hazy beats, MPC magic, and some spoken word knowledge. "It's Only Love" then channels Motor City vibes with its soulful loops, KDJ-inspired vocals, and groovy string sections. A SlothBoogie favourite for sure.

Review: SlothBoogie's 'Dancing With Friends' series, a compilation strand showcasing cuts from both label artists and invited guests, has firmly established itself as 'one to watch'. Happily, the third volume in the series is as on-point as its predecessors. There's much to admire across the 16 tracks on show, with our picks of a very strong bunch including the sun-soaked deep house heat of Philippa's sample-heavy 'Chet's Vibe', the bumpin', post-hip-house hedonism of 'Take Back' by Sudden Moves, the dream house-goes-Detroit techno hypnotism of Ruff Stuff's 'Stab Culture', the deep acid house excellence of Baby Rollen's 'Study in Serenity' and the throbbing excellence of Donald Dust's 'Aftercare'. Throw in killer cuts from a couple of better-known artists - see the contributions from Demuir and the Revenge - and you've got another genuinely must-check release.

Review: It's been over 15 years since this writer was one of 100 or so who gathered in a sweaty, low-raftered Amsterdam basement to witness the live debut of Dutch funk and disco hopefuls Kraak & Smaak. Since then, the young pretenders have gone on to become true elder statesmen of the scene - which is another way of saying that you just KNOW the quality bar on this latest collection of contemporary disco, funk and boogie grooves is going to be set high. There's no room here to go into all 24 tracks one-by-one, but with contributions from the likes of Ben Gomori, Flevans and Hotmood alongside a host of more up-and-coming names, suffice to say lovers of the aforementioned styles will not be in the least bit disappointed.

Review: For the fourth release on the label, the crew behind Saint Wax have decided to showcase cuts from a quintet of artists. They first turn to D'Arabia, who adds luscious and sun-splashed disco samples (both vocals and instrumentation) to a dusty, chunky and bass-heavy house groove ('To The Queen'), before Tiptoes adds a dash of Lolleatta Holloway to a classic-sounding US deep house workout on 'Give Thanks' (an instrumental of which is tagged onto the EP as a digital-only bonus). Elsewhere, Siggatunez and Jan Ketel join forces on the jazzy, warm and sample-rich deep disco-house loveliness of 'What If', while Will Buck reaches for low-slung bass, bustling beats, dreamy chords and sparkling piano riffs on the aptly titled 'Party Time'.
Review: 14 months on from making his bow on Slothboogie, Glaswegian fusionist Tiptoes returns to Slothboogie with another EP of excitable, dancefloor-focused blends of energy-packed rhythms, basslines and melodic motifs. The rising star hits the ground running with opener 'Techno Woo', an infectious and breathless romp that adds sweat-soaked techno weight and tempo to a funky-as-hell, disco-house style loop jam, before opting for a deeper, woozier, and hazier shuffle through classic soul-sampling dancefloor delight. 'Mars Landings' is an impressively warming, thickset dance through fireside-toasty late-night deep house goodness, while 'Strings' is a swirling, early morning sci-fi house special that boasts no less than three spinetingling breakdowns.

Review: Last year, London DJ crew and party promotion outfit SlothBoogie delivered one of the compilations of the year, a wonderfully eclectic and on-point set entitled Dancing With Friends. According to the crew, they spent even more time carefully curating this welcome sequel. You can tell, too. Kicking off with the tactile, slow-burn deep house yearning of Soul Won's '96 to Albert Park', the 21-track collection ambles, strides and jogs between soul-flecked deep house (see Kemback's brilliant 'I Know What You're Thinking'), driving nu-disco (Jesse Bru), swirling deep jackers (Erik Ellmann's 'Private Talk'), loopy disc-house haziness (the always excellent Felipe Gordon), jazz-flecked acid squelch-alongs (Pablot), deep space sample house (Sam Irl) and high-octane, peak-time insanity (The Revenge). Simply brilliant.

Re-Tide, Blanco K & Keith Anthony Fluitt - "Saturday Night" (Mattei & Omich radio Touch) - (3:22) 126 BPM
Review: If, like this reviewer, you're a sucker for a cheekily rolling jazz/boogie-woogie piano lick, then you need this EP's title track 'Steamboats' in your life - in fact, if your booty doesn't wiggle to this, then may we politely suggest you reach round behind you and check you've still got one! Uptempo dancefloor deep house at its most exuberant, and utterly essential. The accompanying 'Pump It', meanwhile, is a more heads-down 'n' driving affair constructed from tribal-tinged drums, throbbing bass, a quirky filtered synth hook and cut-up male rap/hip-house vox - it doesn't have quite the same irresistible sass as the lead cut, but is just as playable.
