Review: Punk funk outfit !!! find themselves remixed on this new EP from Warp, and it contains some of the most cutting-edge reworks we've heard in a while. Patrick Ford, Jim Eno and Mister Saturday Night's Alex Burkat all do their thing in fine style, rocking and shaking throughout, but the real jewels come from Proibito label head and all-round NY bad-boy Anthony Naples, and UK house-cat Maurice Fulton, who both deliver the goods in gargantuan proportions.
Review: French producer Ivan Cattaud, better known as & My Mother Say, covers an impressive range of deep house ground on this three-tracker for his own Neo Apparatus imprint. The wonky, warping title track could lead you to suspect M. Cattaud spent lockdown with nothing but a bunch of old Madhouse records for company, but the next track 'Recall' flips the script and harks back instead to the earliest days of Chi-town deep house. And then finally there's 'Take Another', which has a more laidback and mellifluous feel but also rocks a hefty 90s-style bassline. Something for everyone, then!
Review: For the second time this year, French producer Ivan Cattaud AKA & My Mother Say pops up on Neo Apparatus - the label that has released the vast majority of his work - with an EP of heady and occasionally spacey deep house treats. The producer's love of jazz-funk and fusion can be heard across the EP, but especially on "Cupcake", where jaunty electric piano chords, fluid bass guitar motifs and jazz guitar riffs bubble away above a deliciously deep and languid house groove. For peak-time plays, the low slung, disco inspired opener "Beautiful Day" looks the strongest selection - its dub disco bassline, echoing synth-flutes and heavy drums sound like they could create pandemonium on the dancefloor - while closing cut "Walking" is a Clavinet-sporting chunk of head-in-the-clouds house goodness.
Review: Neo Apparatus regulars &My Mother Say return to the imprint just ahead of its' 100th release. The resultant EP is undeniably expansive, featuring as it does five original productions and a bonus remix. We were particularly impressed with opener 'Love in Outer Space', a decidedly woozy, off-kilter and acid-flecked slab of lo-fi deep house that Trecci later turns into a more spacey, sub-heavy chunk of super-smooth deepness. Other highlights of a consistent EP include the jaunty and jazzy, mid-tempo chug of 'Cosmic Web', the warming Detroit style deep house of 'Enter My Gallery' and the squelchy bass propelled fun-times of 'Proxima', which boasts some deliciously wayward electric piano solos.
