ODD - "Stew" - (7:00) 125 BPM Hot
Modini - "Throbbing Thistle" - (4:12) 126 BPM
Casio Royale - "The Rhythm" - (4:51) 133 BPM

Review: A third session of DABJ all-stars is upon us with supreme club cut outs from ODD, Neil Landstrumm's Modini collaboration and Casio Royale, who at this stage have only ever released with this label. ODD's "Stew" is a classic Roland drum track with dubby acid flecks thrown in for good measure while Modini turn up the heat with an electrifying peak-time banger with a rather amusing title in "Throbbing Thistle" - plus some retro-rave throwbacks. Casio Royale's double dropping B-side serves up a Geeman-like "Rubberband" styled track with "The Rhythm" while "Work This" is this 12"s sweaty hit with a production you could imagine going off at Ron Hardy's Muzik Box.

Review: After a summer off to bask in the props for their superb Essential Mix, the Dixon Avenue Basement Jams crew engage label mode once again with this 11th release an introduction to new artist Modini. As with a good majority of artists involved on DABJ, there is next to no information out there on Modiini (take the search engine challenge if you want) but really does it matter when the material on display is this good? There's an obvious reverence for classic Chicago tropes at play throughout, though lead cut "Estate" is the sort of thing you can see Erol Alkan dropping for sure. "Fear" is pretty darn excellent; veering off into abstract Green Velvet meets Mo Fulton territory and Modini gets even rowdier on the flip with the peak time squelcher "Fumble".

Review: Last year's Turk 12" from the unheralded production unit was one of our favourite releases on the Glasgow label (and yours too on the basis of how swiftly it sold out) so it's great to see him/her/them back with some fresh cuts. The four cuts on Tart EP suggests Modini have been expanding their production focus, with an acid heavy rendition of Modern Romance's "Salsa Rapsody" the highlight of the A-side. On the flip, the riotous "Cisco" sits somewhere between ghetto house rowdiness and the sub loving throb of UK bassline, whilst "Europa" veers off into jittery Italo disco territory. The more versatile DJs will love this one.
