Review: Dino Lenny makes his way back to R&S Records, following a stories career - and his debut label release Did This - with 2024's Lose Control. Turning in a title track a two alternative mixes here, Lenny intertwines a choppy piano motif with a classic house groove in the original, slicing vocal elements into rhythmic patterns reminiscent of Yello's signature style. The Dis Konnekted Mix delivers a raw, minimalistic vibe with rave stabs and rolling toms, perfect for an intense club experience, while the Tea With Quincy Mix features the legendary horn playing of Jerry Hey, known for his work with iconic artists like Michael Jackson and Earth, Wind & Fire!

Review: Aurore 404 launches into 2024 with an exciting new digital solo EP series led by French artist Disset! His inaugural 5-track EP, accompanied by a remix from Harry Wills, introduces listeners to the vivid universe of Calamero, a fictional city brought to life through Disset's melody making. With bass lines as sturdy foundations, drums reverberating through urban streets, and notes weaving together like inhabitants of this imaginary metropolis, each track offers a sonic glimpse into different facets of Calamero. Disset pulls up his retrofuturism, merging modern electronic machinery with samples of traditional instruments, tribal percussion, and ambient sounds, resulting in a a city filled with romance, nostalgia and innovation.

Review: Under the DJ Psychiatre alias, Sylvain Creton is fast becoming a rising star of the current French electronic underground. Further proof of his credentials arrives via 'Glad To Be Back', a four-tracker based on fusing his love of vintage progressive house sounds and the hands-in-the-air rush of piano house. He first gets 'Lost In The New', adding hands-aloft piano stabs, MK style organ motifs and colourful chords to a crispy rhythm track, before opting for a breezier and even more rushing vibe on the similarly kaleidoscopic 'Riding Zone'. 'We Make Records' sees Creton wrap echoing vocal snippets, woozy ambient chords, acid-influenced electronics and jaunty pianos around a shuffling deep house groove, while 'Thinks We Do' is a bubbly, acid-flecked slab of breakbeat house joy.

The Great Delusion - (9:18) 125 BPM
Review: The Ltd W/lbl imprint excels at delivering expansive EPs packed to the rafters with floor-friendly deep house cuts, as recent releases from Benjamin Long and Alberto Castellana emphatically proved. Here the shadowy imprint turns to a familiar favourite, Eloi, who last appeared on the label two years ago. The vibe here is deep, sensual, warming and jazzy, with twinkling electric piano motifs, dusty samples and hissing cymbals riding tactile grooves. It's a formula that guarantees success every time - at least on this excellent release - with our picks including atmospheric opener 'The Great Delusion', the horn-spattered wonder of 'Foundation's End', and the Moodymann-esque excellence of 'It Gets Better'.

Review: D.Ko Records co-owner Flabaire (real name Ralph Marauni) makes his bow on Rawax offshoot Housewax, bringing with him a quintet of quality cuts. He sets his stall out on opener 'Inwards', joining the dots between classic deep house, melody-rich lusciousness and early 2000s micro-house, before opting for a deeper, warmer and more bumping vibe on 'Osez'. 'Suspended' is ultra-deep, dubbed-out and hypnotic in the best possible why, while 'Revelation' is a soundscape deep house treat and 'Ugotme' is an Andres-esque riff on Detroit deep house underpinned by deep sub-bass. In other words, it's a fine EP of well made, grown-up house treats.

Review: Gee Labe won plenty of plaudits for his Toy Tonics label debut, 'Metamorphosis', when the EP dropped back in October 2023. Hopes are naturally high then for the Barcelona-based Venezuelan's speedy sequel. She hits the ground running with Mabreezee hook-up 'Monkeys', where squelchy synth-bass, dreamy chords and even more soulful vocals wrap around an extra-percussive mid-tempo house groove. New York combo Musclecars join forces with Kamaal to deliver vocal and instrumental takes that successfully re-cast the track as a slab of broken beat/Italian dream house fusion. Completing a fine package is bonus cut 'The Fourth', where Lane rushes off on a 1989 style piano-sporting, breakbeat-driven house tip.

Review: Belgian producer Gratts teams up with Eleanor 'Mr' Beale on a laidback release that sits somewhere between deep house, Balearica, nu-jazz and trip-hop. Gently lolloping hand percussion with an Afro feel sets the pace from the outset, with Beale's jazzual vocal only emerging around the 1:20 mark. Add some lingering chords and you've got a track that wouldn't have sounded out of place on a mid-90s 'Rebirth Of The Cool' compilation. An accompanying remix from French stalwart Gilb'r pushes the track more firmly towards jazz-house, while the package is completed by a self-explanatory Bonus Drum Tool.

Review: Gunnter made his debut on Rutilance Recordings, an imprint he co-founded with Dj Steaw back in 2016, though since then he's only appeared occasionally on the label. In fact, this EP is only his second full outing on the imprint, and his first was released five years ago. It's a genuinely fine EP all told, with Gunnter delivering a combination of fresh ideas and nostalgic, '90s deep house sounds. For proof, check the acid bass-propelled warmth of glassy-eyed opener 'Loose Leaves', the more low-slung and action-packed 'Get Closer', and the mid-90s Strictly Rhythm dubs flex of 'Base Camp'. Elsewhere, 'Smooth' lives up to its name via spacey pads and tactile grooves, while 'Jersey City' doffs a cap to what British DJs of the early 2000s would have called 'trad garage'.

Review: IULY.B's debut album, Dimensions, on Switzerland's Adam's Bite label brings rise to the Romanian artist's evolution at large, allowing for IULY.B's knowledge and influences from a decade's time in the underground scene to spwan out of the rabbit hole. Across eleven tracks, IULY.B explores a spectrum of sounds, from the ethereal beachside ambiance of "Seagulls Passing By" to the gritty bass stabs and tripped-out vocals of "Bump". With a sequenced blend of raw dance floor energy and hypnotic subtlety, other numbers like "Aurora" and "Ronnie's Squat" blur the lines between house and techno, allowing a cut like "Variations" to delves into the roots of dub techno with swirling echoes and hypnotic chimes.

Review: As the matter-or-fact title makes clear, this expansive affair brings together a wealth of tracks from two of Luv Shack's most prolific and consistent artists, Jakobin and ROCTIV. The former steps up first with a trio of tracks. Of these, it's opener 'Drawan' - a deliciously trippy and mind-mangling slab of psychedelic house rich in TB-303 acid bass, fizzing electronics and ghostly chords - that most impresses, though IDM-goes-breakbeat bubbler 'Skulpt' and the deep and trippy 'Octagonal Tribe' are also excellent. ROCTIV drops four tracks, flitting between bass-heavy, acid-flecked breakbeat ('Frenezy', 'Living Art'), re-born early 90s progressive house/nu-disco fusion ('No More Room In Hell') and sub-heavy psychedelic sleaziness ('The Confidence').

Review: Leinad's "Electric City," originally released in 1997 and recently reissued on Kabinett 48 Recordings with bonus tracks, is a delightful journey through the heart of deep house. This remastered version offers a chance to experience, or revisit, the sound that captivated dancefloors in the late 90s. The album opens with "In Trouble," setting the mood with a laid-back groove and warm pads. Tracks like "Freak Tonight" and "Pretty Young Thing" showcase Leinad's talent for crafting infectious melodies that lodge themselves in your head. These tracks are perfect for dancefloors or simply cruising down the street with the windows down. While the album leans heavily on classic deep house elements, it throws in some surprises. "Back 2 The 80'S" is a synth-heavy homage to the previous decade, complete with playful video game-inspired melodies. "Let's Snip!" offers a brief intermission with a chopped-up vocal sample that adds a touch of playfulness to the mix. For those who remember the 90s house scene, "Electric City" is a delightful trip down memory lane.

Review: Following outings on Groove Culture Deep, Dobro and Small Great Things, former Endless Music regular Luca Olivitto returns to theBasement Discos for the first time since 2022. The Berlin-based producer has more than proved his credentials of late, so it's no surprise to find that the two tracks on show are both high-quality. First up is title track 'Deep Waves', a gorgeously warming, tactile and sunny slab of nostalgic Italo-house revivalism piled high with jazzy bass, colourful chords and sparkling piano motifs. On 'Down The Line', Olivotto delivers another musically rich and positive slab of retro-futurist deep house that sounds like a long lost workout from 1992.

Review: Since ditching his Marquis Hawkes alias some years back, long-serving house and techno producer Mark Hawkins has gone back to his roots, delivering no-nonsense, hype-free workouts for the likes of Aus Music, Repetitive Rhythm Research and Unknown To The Unknown. Here he makes his bow on X-Masters with a predictably solid four-tracker. Title track 'Time & Space' is particularly potent, with Hawkins layering hazy female vocal snippets and warming electric piano chords atop sweaty deep house drums and a genuinely superb bassline. This classic deep house vibe continues on the even deeper, dreamier and more alluring 'Together', before Hawkins opts for enveloping chords, fluctuating wobble bass and locked-in beats on 'Illusion'. Closer 'Lopez', meanwhile, is a fine fusion of deep house and cultured acid house sounds.

Review: "Let's Work" by Rulers Of The Deep, Ricky Inch, and Mr. V is a collaborative effort that brings together Estonian house veterans and an American vocal legend on the Soulfuric Deep label. The producer duo Rulers Of The Deep lay down a foundation of rich, soulful house music with hints of afro and tech influences. Ricky Inch, another Estonian house mainstay, adds a touch of local flavor to the international collaboration while legendary Mr. V brings his instantly recognizable vocals to the mix, perfectly complementing the groove with his signature house music flow.

Review: Chicago house producer Tai Davis - who made his name with a series of 'Classic Chicago House Remakes' EPs over a decade ago - pays homage to the Windy City's musical heritage with four tracks that prove there's plenty of life in the old acid dog yet! Up first is 'Brain Dead', which ain't much more than a throbbing, pulsating groove underpinning some serious cut-off and resonance abuse. 'Whop' rocks slightly more straight-up, harder-driving 4/4s and gets bleepier and bleepier as it goes on, 'That Acid' brings the tripped-out, Adonis-like vibes and finally 'Fusion' merges acid with Larry Heard-style deepness to play us out.

Review: Two very strong house cutz here from the French scene stalwart, coming on Lausanne, Switzerland-based label Black Pattern. 'High N Risin' loops up a diva vocal snip, crisp drums and Jersey-style organs in a style that recalls the excellent Serious Grooves imprint of the 90s, while the DJ Merci & The Checkup Heavy Bottom Remix takes things a notch deeper and adds live-sounding hand percussion. '2 The F', meanwhile, is dancefloor-driven deep house at its absolute funkin' best, while the Dexter Troy Remix gives it little extra disco shimmy. It's originals over remixes for yours truly this time out, but whichever rubs you opt for, this is a superb lil' package.

Review: Ostensibly a response to techno being 'in such a sorry and predictable state', Full Pupp's latest compilation goes off in a number of wonderfully captivating tangents. Label owner Prins Thomas' "Mere Apokalypso" is a tripped-out groove, while his take on Synk's "Tool Mix" is an acid-laced chugger. In contrast, JaddajaddaPlay's "Bird No Bird" goes down a percussive route. Despite the title, techno does make an appearance. Blackbelt Engh Rhythm Combo's "Frydenlyn" is a rolling tribal affair, while trance influences bubble to the surface on Christian Engh's dubbed out "Khonsu" and Karolinski's high-paced, melodic "Slutt A Mase Eg Har Ikkje Spelt Pa Ei Veke".

Review: Apparel Music's latest compilation series, Coffee Club, has been designed to showcase "laidback vibes and soulful grooves" of the sort that can provide the perfect accompaniment to supping on a latte, long black or double espresso. The six tracks on show on volume one undoubtedly hit this brief, with highlights including the sinewy, ultra-deep, sunrise house wooziness of Apparel Wax's '0091A', the vibraphone-laden, early St Germain-esque wonder of 'Soul Haze' by Sek, the jazzy and dubby lusciousness of Sune's 'En Saga', and Girls of the Internet's deep, dusty and chunky remix of 'Everytime' by Jason Heresco, where vintage female vocal snippets, tactile electric piano chords and a jazzy bassline all catch the ear.
