Review: Throughout their decade-long career, Alma Negra has combined their love of disco and deep house with percussion, instrumentation and ideas excavated from African, Caribbean and tropical musical cultures. On this EP, they largely ditch the latter inspirations, instead delivering full-throttle revivalist disco sounds where the Basel-based band's organic instrumentation and vocals combine with colourful synth sounds and heady horns. The headline attraction is undoubtedly 'Madrugada', a warming and thickset, subtly deep house-influenced take on the turn-of-the-80s NYC downtown disco-not-disco sound. It comes backed with two revisions - an extra-percussive, dubbed-out Yuksek tweak and the band's own dub disco-goes-deep house 'Dub Mix' - and the riotous, party-starting brilliance of 'Funky Fever'.

Review: Almost two years on from his last appearance on the label - a collaborative release alongside German drummer, percussionist and producer Locke - Athenian veteran Lex returns to Delusions of grandeur. This time round it's a nominally a solo mission, though Locke and Dennis Liber do appear as featured collaborators on selected tracks. Our pick of a very strong bunch is 'Without You', a hypnotic and locked-in acid house roller full of mind-mangling TB-303 motifs, jazzy Rhodes licks and spacey chords, though the deep and funky, disco and jazz-funk tinged 'Strip Town' is almost as good. Locke and Guto Fernandez hook-up 'Purity' is a fine vocal number that sits somewhere between percussive Latin house and nu-disco, while Dennis Liber collaboration 'No Time For Formalities' sounds like a long-lost piano house track from 1988.

Review: Mark E, the underground maestro with an illustrious career spanning nearly two decades, returns to Delusions Of Grandeur with his latest creation, the "Enchantment Under The Sea EP." This release showcases Mark Evetts' unmistakable touch, a sublime vision of US deep house that goes beyond the confines of the dance floor. The EP kicks off with the title track, "Enchantment Under The Sea," a sonic journey that lives up to its name. Born in the Black Country, Mark E weaves fluid, ocean-deep chords and electronic melodies around a backdrop of lo-fi drum machine beats and an undulating bassline. "Zone Tonight" follows suit, offering a similarly deep, melodious, and tactile experience. Atmospheric synth strings, hypnotic drums, starry pads, and a bubbly bassline come together to create a late-night cityscape driving track. "Vertigo" takes a jazzier and sunnier turn, guaranteed to bring smiles to faces. Mark E's masterful production shines through, creating a composition that effortlessly blurs the boundaries between lilting analogue synth-pop and wide-eyed deep house. The EP concludes with the stunning "Bodymap," where the tempo gently descends, featuring minimal yet expressive drum patterns, a touch of melancholic strings, and a pulsating bassline.
