Review: Deep house from the heavily electronic, more leftfield side is the order of the day on this debut long-player from Los Angeles-based Etari. After the obligatory beatless ambient intro, 'Euphoric Disclaimer' comes on like Larry Heard getting a fit of inspiration from listening to a Youngsta CD, the title track is a more floaty, dreamy, Balearica kinda cut, 'Funky Fuchsia' is all stuttered beats, long drawn-out pads and much use of echo/reverb-style FX, and so it goes on... definitely one for home listening rather than the dancefloor, but worth investigating if your house tastes tend towards the more cerebral.

Review: Keeping strong all the way as ever is 100% Silk and following the debut of Etari, the Los Angeles label welcomes aboard the new age sounds of Denver's Dubharp. Exploring a percussive, water-rimmed paradise of half soundtrack music half exotica, Spiral Heights even brings with it a collaboration with Lee Scratch Perry in "Bamboo Cross". With parallels to be made with the rhythms heard in the music of Geinoh Yamashirogumi (Akira soundtrack) there is a deftly positive feeling permeating the classic sound of '80s inspired synth music alongside tacit themes invoking Gaia, Japan and a castle somewhere in the clouds. Total dub.

Review: Bludwork last appeared on 100% Silk three years ago, delivering a cassette-only fusion of ambient and deep house vibes that impressed those lucky enough to hear it. The fast-rising producer's return to to the imprint is a collaborative affair, with all six of the EP's cuts being produced in cahoots with AFK - a Canadian producer whose last solo release was a decade ago. As you might expect, all six tracks hit the spot, with the pair prioritizing attractive electronics melodies, fluid chords, liquid synthesizer lines and dusty machine drums in order to create a suitably loved-up mood. Our picks of a very strong bunch are the ambient-era Aphex Twin-meets-lo-fi deep house flex of "Searchin" and the Dream 2 Science style bliss of "Get Personal".

Review: Fresh from the release of a killer cassette on 100% Silk, The Cyclist (AKA sometime Hypercolour and All City Records producer Andrew Morrison) returns to the same label with a tasty new four track EP. Check first the impeccably spacey, Motor City techno/intergalactic deep house fusion of "Aladdin Insane", before turning your attention to the wild, sweaty and decidedly hallucinatory acid house fuzz of EP standout "Ivory". Elsewhere, the analogue equipment enthusiast dishes up some sunshine-friendly positivity in the shape of bustling workout "Audiochrome" and adds a little jazz swing to the life-affirming Italian dream house blueprint on sublime opener "Alabaster Thrones". In a word: superb.

Review: Saying that 100% Silk has put out some of the best house music of the last five years is no bold statement, and in fact, it has been one of our favourite labels ever since Ital's stunning "Ital's Theme", back in 2011. Hubert Clarke Jr is a newcomer in terms of previous releases, but the producer certainly sounds like he's been doing this for a while, and all six tunes on here are of the highest grade. The opener "Berry" is a percussion-driven monster that sounds likes it's just come out of a Roland bassbot, and the same goes for pretty much all the cuts on here. We even get some downtempo time on "4 U Intro", a lovely abstract house piece, and some loose, stumbling Detroit-schooled flavours in "Vry Distant Lands".
