Review: Da Funk arrives on Anjunadeep for two melodic house burners for peak time and after hours grooves. "Smug" is characterised by its warm twisting bassline and progressive, summery chords suitable for Ibizan terraces. It's accompanied by "Don't Let Go", a similarly hazy, but considerably more pulsating house number drenched in a more downtempo sensibility.
Review: Above & Beyond continue to reign supreme in trance and progressive with both the main label and this, their more eclectic arm. Lifted from acclaimed 'Anjunadeep Volume 4', label regular Solarity showcases everything the imprint is about. Some stunning melodic textures are met with housey beats, a techno groove, and an overall sound that is both credible and accessible open to the full spectrum of electronic music. There is no pigeon holing this one, which makes us like it even more!
Review: After conquering the scene with releases for Will Saul's reinvigorated Simple and Dogmatik, Dusky return to their spiritual home of Anjunadeep with the first in a series of remix EPs. First up, Jozif Voxatron transforms "It's Not Enough" with his own brand of Baltic swing, while Andre Crom transforms the high-octane "Lost In You" into something with a little more swagger, and Thomas Langner changes the laid back "Falling" into a groovesome roller. By far our pick however is Tevo Howard's Chicago house revision of "Lost Highway", stripping everything back to its bare rhythmic components, firming them up, and rebuilding the whole thing with a ton more soul.
Review: When you look at what's been happening over the past 6 months with deep house blowing up, you can see how ahead of the game Above & Beyonds offshoot label has been, for many years. Having pushed forward the likes of Dusky, and T.Williams, they present another talent sure to follow the same path. This EP from KAHWE couldn't be any more on-point, deep house, with subtle garage and old school influences. "Driving Me Wild" is an instant winner, and will be getting hammered by every house DJ worth their salt, with its subtle vocal, captivating lead, and floor friendly beats. "Anything" is a just as big with its ravey piano line and chopped vocal, and killer low-blow bassline making it shake as well as grove. Completing the trio is "Yew" for the more minimal heads out there. Massive release!
