Esuoh is an independent record label established in Mallorca founded by Alex Caro and Sote De Lino, based on the main ideals of house music.
With a full of soul sound and clearly influenced by the original sound of Chicago and the latest European trends, the focus is clear and points directly to the dance floor.
Review: Alex Caro and Sote de Lino's Eusoh imprint can usually be relied upon to deliver the goods, with their recent EPs from Flaze and Franco Strato delivering nostalgic takes on deep house packed to the rafters with references to US and Italian releases of the early to mid 1990s. They've hit the spot again with this four-tracker from confirmed label hopper Kid Mark. He hits the ground running with 'Your Time', a woozy, groovy and sensually soulful fusion of classic US garage and deep house flavours, before reaching for the pianos, soulful vocal samples and crunchy-but-skipping beats on 'I Got That'. 'Jammin' is a locked-in slab of bumpin, organ-rich brilliance, while 'U Better Tell Me' is a marginally more boisterous affair propelled forwards by restless bass, organ loops and deep-down bass.
Review: Flaze, a seasoned Italian DJ& producer with roots dating back to the mid-90s, has seen his solo career flourish since 2021. His latest EP on Esuoh, a Mallorca-based label, follows the impressive "Brigade" release, showcasing he artist's prowess for grooving-based house music. "Inside Me" kicks off with a silky yet robust rhythm, replete with sub-bass tones, delayed synth stabs, and ethereal chords. The title track, an uptempo organ-driven piece, get vibey with a diva-led vocal and nostalgic 90s synth insprations. "Off The Block" takes a deeper, meandering turn with something low-slung amid tense strings and Chicago-styled drums. "Straight Home" blends various eras of house music, intertwining repetitive chopped vocals, yet more illuminated chords, and crunchy percussive hits - while "Dark Side" introduces scuttling rhythms and a piano loop reminiscent of a classic by The Streets.
Review: To begin his 2023 release campaign, Hurlee returns to Alex Caro and Sote De Lino's Esuoh imprint after a two-year absence. His previous outing for the label, the 'Never Love EP', was a beauty, and this belated sequel is equally as impressive. There's plenty of high-class goodness to enjoy across the EP, from the squelchy synth bass, warming chords and loose-limbed 90s New Jersey deep house flex of 'Shake It Up' and the glassy-eyed warmth of 'More Than This' - another nostalgic affair where classic house organ sounds catch the ear - to the hazy chunkiness of 'A Question of Time' and the starry, loved-up shuffle of 'Just One Night'.
Review: Having spent 2020 bouncing between Tropical Disco, Suol and Ondule Recordings, Hurlee confidently strides into 2021 and the loving arms of Esuoh. Those who appreciate his chunky, energy-packed take on deep house will find much to enjoy throughout, from the bumpin' beats, warm bass, dreamy chords, smile-inducing organ stabs and hazy horns of 'Never Love', to the tough but spacey, kick-drum-driven deep house funk of closing cut 'Chicago'. Sandwiched in between you'll find the smooth and groovy late-night headiness of 'Crystallic Sunshine', and the rolling chunkiness of 'Sweet Keys', where glassy-eyed female vocal samples catch the ear. Tried-and-tested tastiness from a master craftsman.
