Review: Zero B's "Lock Up" is the next installment in Shadow Child's 'Curated by' series on Food Music. This one is considered a classic all these years later, and these new mixes are set to take it further than before - so here is a huge remix package featuring the likes of Red Rack'em, Kiwi and more. The groovy breakbeat action of the original is remastered, in addition to a wicked junglist roller perspective by legends 2 Bad Mice, the ever reliable Lady Blaktronika provides some spiritual deep house vibes on her rework and Super Rhythm Trax's Jerome Hill is on form as always with his epic rave reconstruction.

Review: Bristol's favourite son Will Clarke; master of all things bouncy and bassy teams up with Bot for what could be one of 2017's favourite tunes "Techno (Not Techno)" is top pick that sits somewhere between Marc Houle's mid noughties minimal house (particularly with the druggy vocals), Curtis Jones' percolator jack and the notorious Dirtybird sound: expect to be hearing this one out a lot! Second offering "Lil' Mami" is more straight up, deep and dirty tech house that will appeal to fans of the Hot Creations sound and featuring some catchy rap vocals which will get some real hands in the air moments alongside all its other boompty elements.

Review: The title of the latest release on Shadow Child's label may cause some confusion. Penned by Food Music regular Will Clarke and Italian producer Bot, "Techno (Not Techno)" is undoubtedly a techno release. It may also take some of its inspiration from electro house - check out that murky bass - but it revolves around crashing snare rolls, a pitch-bent vocal sample derived from Dan Bell and Josh Wink and the kind of bleep and shuffle combination that developed nearly 30 years ago in Detroit and then Sheffield. If this isn't a techno release, then it's hard to know what is.

Review: Annie Mac faves Hannah Wants and Chris Lorenzo have been tipped for big things this year. Certainly, their particular brand of bass-heavy, basement-friendly tech-house is incredibly appealing, with both tracks here impressing. Lead cut "Girls" takes a no-nonsense approach, layering sparse bleep melodies and wonky vocal samples over a hissing, skipping groove and apocalyptic sub-bass. "Breathe" is similarly booming but slightly deeper, with eyes-wide-shut chords and vocal harmonies bouncing over a sturdy groove. Like its predecessor, "Breathe" also features a gargantuan speed garage bassline, which provides a sweaty counterbalance to the dreamy electronics and tactile melodies above.

Review: Don't worry, "Dappy" isn't an ode or homage to N-Dubz' ratty frontman. In fact it couldn't be further from Dappy's cheesy UK grime-lite if it tried. Romping away with a resonant warbling bass and unrelenting 4/4 stomp, it's an ultimate buzz cut that doesn't sound too far away from a Dirtybird record. Remix-wise Belgian ghetto-groover Kill Frenzy pitches down the vocal sample and adds much more of a haunted flavour to the groove. Either version is dark enough to send Dappy crying to his dear old mum.

Bournemouth's Harry Judda (Dirtybird/Simma Black/Of Unsound Mind) teams up with James Davison on the swingy and bass-driven UK garage influence of "Skittle", Nesky gives you a taste of the acid life on the jacking "Bass Trip", Italian duo M.F.S. Observatory tread a similar 303 driven path on the old school Midwest techno vibe of "Ainno" and another banger comes from Mac & Ward on the peak time warehouse stomp of "Jups".

M.A.S.C & Fast Eddie appear with the late '80s commercial dance music energy of "Rise Up", No-e delivers the upbeat tech house thump of "I Don't Care", while label boss Shadow Child serves up an extended refix of Kitchen Disco's "House Of Colin" which goes down an old school techno route complete with jacked vocals. Speaking of which, it's a classic acid house vibe all the way on AnD_oR's 303 driven "Prehab" which closes out a fine package.

Review: Food Music continues its fine form with a heavy-loaded remix release after bomb after bomb from the likes of Coldwater and Fake Blood. The boys get together to remix a collection of tracks from a mixed pool of artists, some new and some who have already featured on the label. This is all within the bass spectrum, of course (although we hate to use that term so loosely), with seven dance-ready cuts in total. If we were to pull the gold then we'd have to lean towards Applebottom's rework of Kry Wolf's own "No Trouble" - a deranged tech-house bruiser with nutty vocal samples - and Fake Blood's remix of Vhyce's "Be The Same", a jazzy and break-ridden house lick. Top.

Review: With releases on Toolroom, Moon Harbour and Glasgow Underground in his catalogue, Kostoxenakis is no stranger in underground house circles. As his latest release for Food Music attests, this is due to his ability to deliver new, compelling interpretations on classic sounds. "Ubar" revolves around a tough, swinging rhythm and a repetitive vocal sample that has echoes of Chicago ghetto. However, the Greek producer's raw, gritty sound means that it boasts a contemporary flavour. On the title track, he drops a firing, percussive rhythm, once again featuring a looped vocal sample, but the arrangement is more stripped back and not as busy as "Ubar". Completing the release is "Breath", where Kostoxenakis drops filtered rave riffs over a jacking rhythm.

Review: Having recently impressed with the booming Low Frequencies EP on Domino Effect, publicity-shy producer Under_Score transfers to bass-house specialists Food Music. In its' original form, "Indigo" is a heady and intoxicating bassline roller, with woozy blues vocal samples and spooky deep house electronics riding a shuffling groove and thunderous sub-bass motif. Walker & Royce push the track further towards straight-up UK garage territory on their Vocal and Dub interpretations, with the latter's darker, tougher intent guaranteeing a stronger dancefloor response. The third and final rework comes from DJ E Clyps, who adds extra garage swing to the beats while introducing a few dreamier deep house elements.

Review: Next up on Shadow Child's Food Music label are These Machines, with a fine heads-down release. On the title track, a thumping rhythm and shredded percussion provide the back drop for cut-up vocals and malfunctioning computer tones. It makes for a wild, frazzled track that sits somewhere between tech-house and electro house. Shadow Child has teamed up with Mark Archer, one half of rave legends Altern8 to review "Go Ahead". Favouring a cleaner, more rolling rhythm, the pair use it as a basis to fuse the original version's vocal sample with a siren riff of Robert Armani-style strength.

Review: All we really know about mysterious UK producer Ten Ven is that they have released previously on the likes of MTA Records or Noir and can really throw down some seriously wicked tech house grooves. He reappears this time for the always reliable Food Music with the Belo EP. Here they show off some wares aimed squarely at the dancefloor, such as on the druggy electro-house adrenaliser "Belo Horizonte" (which is drenched in reverb), the uplifting and soulful deep house of "Celebrate" (which has the most unbelievable breakdown you must hear) and finally "One Chance" which is probably the most DJ friendly and functional cut with subtle Afro house influences but clear comparisons to the futuristic sounds of Innervisions; and that's a great compliment!

Review: Food Music revisit the 1991 rave anthem "DJs Take Control" by SL2 - aka legend DJ Slipmatt and John 'Lime' Fernandez with rap vocalist Jay-J.They also provide some killer remixes by some contemporary heavyweights in support. The Slipmatt & Sooney 2018 extended remix still sounds as evocative and potent as it did 27 years ago: with its Kevin Saunderson style chord progressions, tough breaks and cut 'n' paste sampling - a true zeitgeist of UK dance music's emergent hardcore rave sound. Label boss Shadow Child had his work cut out for him when attempting to rework such a classic, but delivered a dynamic and respectful version. Not to mention man of the moment DJ Boring, whose extended remix goes all the way back to the same era for a fierce junglist steppa.

Review: Cymbal-heavy UK garage beats? Check! Sub-bothering bassline? Check! Dreamy, oddly pitched vocal sample? Check! Sweaty, wide-eyed late night vibe? Check! Result: "23" has all the right ingredients to impress bass music heads - and those into Hypercolour-ish deep house/bass music blends. It also comes backed with a couple of notable remixes, with bass veteran Zinc providing his own typically big VIP version. In truth, it's not that much different from the original, though Zinc's build-up extension, additional wobbly noises and bass EQ'ing work bring the most out of the near-anthemic original. Kry Wolf make the most of the original's dreamy samples and beef up the bottom-end wobble on their in-your-face remix.

Review: When an EP comes with a radio edit and this many remixes, it's fair to say that the label think it has the legs to crossover into the mainstream. Certainly, this latest missive from Dave Spoon under his Shadow Child alias has the potential to be big. Think epic builds, chiming melodies, sparkling house pianos and a big, heavy bassline. Oh, and a bold vocal about the joys of Fridays. Job done. Remix-wise, most attention will be focused on the MK Medicine Dub. Full of his trademark vocal cut-ups and gargantuan pianos, you'll be hearing it everywhere over the next few months. Elsewhere, there's a soaring D&B remix from The Prototypes, a murky, acid house influenced take from Maison Sky, and a couple of solid reworks from Spoon himself.

Review: London's Shadow Child presented his top track "Ooh Tune" for his esteemed Food Music imprint earlier in the year and here are the remixes. Rising star Danny Howard has been championed by the label and rest assured he does indeed appear. The Blackpool native gives the track a much needed tough rolling extended mix.
Mak & Pasteman deliver another extended mix, and this one was actually our pick of the bunch: their rendition delivering a totally bangin' acid techno perspective in early '90s fashion. Likewise, Dutch junglist Coco Bryce delivers another nostalgic homage - one for the rollers that had massive respect for the likes of Goldie or Alex Reece back in the day. Finally DJ Octopus from Venice hands in the Heavy Breathing extended mix. This guy has appeared previously on the likes of Hot Haus, Shall Not Fade, Muscle Records and Chiwax - so you know you are in good hands.

Review: Shadow Child and Kry Wolf's Food Music are on a roll at the moment and their next thriller comes from Sander van den Oever aka Sander Dellariva: a DJ/producer from the Netherlands that is certainly on the rise. Snatch!, Underground Audio and Flashmob LTD are just some of the labels he has released on of late. He delivers a sublime serving of Afro-influenced uplifting house on the fittingly titled "Piano Track". Also featured is the tough rolling main-room bounce of "Can't Take It" and the hard hitting peak time techno of "Acid Pump" with its sick TB-303 flourishes. Dellariva is definitely one to watch moving forward into 2018!

Review: Acid house evangelists Posthuman rarely put a foot wrong, so it's no surprise to find that their latest EP is full to bursting with high quality. Interestingly, there's no sign of their trademark TB-303 acid lines on lead cut 'You're Mine'; instead, they've opted to pepper a sturdy drum pattern with retro-futurist organ stabs, glassy-eyed vocal samples and, as the track progresses, gargantuan sub-bass and sweaty breakbeats. The accompanying remix is package is strong too, with Luke Vibert predictably stealing the show with a tooled-up, rave-igniting take smothered in a variety of familiar old school vocal samples. We'd also suggest checking dense and chunky bonus cut '(Find Me) On The Edge of Town', a sweaty slab of future acid jack with oodles of energy.

Review: Amsterdam-based Italian producer Nima "NT89" Tahmasebi has previously impressed with his in-your-face blends of electro and techno, with occasional forays into deeper, tech-tinged territory. Each of these sides of his personality are explored on this three-tracker for Food Music. "Purple Garden" itself is pleasingly fluid, lacing deep trance melodies and Visionquest atmospherics over a touchy-feely tech-house groove. "Subsquent", on the other hand, is bold and brassy, a pulsating, strobelit fusion of heavy analogue bass, incessant drum machine rhythms and warehouse-friendly sound effects. If that's not enough to get the tastebuds tingling, "Nowhere" takes us into deep garage territory, contrasting cut-up vocals and two-step rhythms with quick bursts of 4/4 groovery and wide-eyed deep house breakdowns.

Review: Issued on Shadow Play's label, this release from Italian producer NT89 is very much of the time. The title track flirts with the spirit and sound of bleep techno, with subsonic tones woven around a rolling groove. In a similar vein is "Royal (with Whitesquare)"; although the artist opts for a deeper approach, the same type of hypnotic rhythm applies. Soon afterwards, the release slips into more esoteric sounds; "Love Game" revolves around a stripped back, metallic rhythm and shiny synths, while "Stripe" ends the release in a similar vein - although on this occasion, a stepping groove underpin's NT89's melancholic sound scapes.

Review: Food Music continues to explore the archives of rave-era superstars N'Joi. They've already released a must-have 'best of', Collected, and here deliver the first of a series of EPs featuring previously unreleased recordings. Those around at the time may recognise some of the tracks because the popular duo frequently performed them in their live shows in the very early '90s. Their original live vocalist Luvian features on two tracks: the foreboding, bleep and early Orbital-influenced brilliance of opener 'Century Masters' and the sparkling, rushing, life-affirming piano house brilliance of 'Feel The Love (extended mix)'. Elsewhere, 'Acid Machine' is a breathlessly sleazy and psychedelic slab of post-bleep heaviness and 'Astoria' is a clanking bleep-and-breaks monster.

Review: For those born after 1990, N'Joi were one of the most commercially successful acts of the rave era, though their music remained steadfastly underground in tone. Collected, a retrospective of the duo's best work, is undoubtedly long overdue. Fittingly, it begins with the Unique 3 inspired bleep & bass of 'Techno Gangsters' and ends with the gnarled, breathless proto-jungle darkness of 'Strength'. In between you'll find such gems as the bouncy piano-house rush of 'Jah Heaven', the breathless, warehouse-ready acid techno stomp of 'Mindflux' and the stab-heavy breakbeat hardcire heaviness of 'Manic'. In a word: essential.

Review: Despite residing in Adelaide, Australia, producer Motez Obaidi seems to have a firm grasp on what's rocking clubs this side of the world. His sound - bassy, in-your-face, cheeky and undeniably party-friendly - is steeped in UK garage, the bassy deep house of Huxley and the rubbery fluidity of hot-to-trot labels such as Hot Creations. "Ride Roof Back" - in its Club Edit form - is undeniably big, lacing pitched-down hip-hop vocal samples over a big synth bassline, skippy garage beats and gargantuan synth builds. The deeper "Take Off" isn't as instantly impressive, but makes up for that thanks to some killer drops and tasty UK Funky influences.

Review: "My MPC" is an ode to the one of the key pieces of equipment used to make techno: on the title track's nightmare chord stabs, the MPC is called out by an unknown vocalist, alongside "two turntables and a bunch of records|". As the track reaches a rolling drum climax, there can be no doubt that the MPC has been hugely beneficial to the process. "Tijuana" sees Mak & Pasteman change their focus to concentrate on a shaking, percussive affair that has echoes of Mexican funk.

Review: The latest release on Shadow Child's label features the progeny of techno royalty: Dantiez is Kevin 'Reese' Saunderson's son and based on this release, it is clear that a talent for electronic music runs in the family. Teaming up with fellow US producer Mad Villains, he delivers a forward-thinking release. "Philosophy" resounds to tough house beats and repetitive vocal snippets - a continuation of his father's Tronikhouse project perhaps? - as well as searing electronic riffs. On "Insomnia" the pair's focus shifts to tough, bleepy techno, with tonal shifts inspired by LFO, while "More" sounds influenced as much by UK garage as US techno, as skipping beats underpin hypnotic chord builds.

The Leeds-based duo's love of robust, peak-time ready fare is explored on opener 'Bliss Nights', where smile-inducing piano motifs, melodic refrains and waves of sharp, rising and falling synthesizer sounds leap above a pumping, sub-heavy house groove.

Review: From Simma Black to Project Fallout, and now Food Music, Low Steppa is steadily making a name for himself in the bass game, and this new EP from the producer is testament to his skills as a fine beatsmith, and as a laterally-minded crafter of fine, sci-fi beats. "On the One" is a house tune with a distinctive UK edge in its low tones, and the same goes for "Rainy Days" and its old-school garage approach. "Gone Black" is a fine piece of soulful dance music that would make any Chicago producer proud, but it's "My Black T Shirt" that earns our deepest attention thanks to its tightly woven groove, and perfectly executed sonic hook.

Review: Not content with having risen on the tides of their Sound of Sumo label's success, label bosses Kry Wolf have elected to start a new label in the form of Food Music. Debuting last year with a release from Shadow Child, the pair now take centre stage for the label's second release. Entitled The Flood, the lead track combines sharp tech-house beats with buzzsaw bass and slick vocal samples, all coated in deep strings, while "Workin Hard" takes things up a notch with its crisp flurry of claps and synth bubbles driven along by some peak-time rave piano. "Together" meanwhile combines techno and bass in equal measure with its dark, tunnelling acidic bassline and dubbed out piano chords; it's a stark contrast to Makes No Sense's remix of the track which gives it into a light UKG-inspired rework.

Review: Having previously impressed with a series of singles on their own Sound of Sumo label, Lewis Darvill and Bill Francis moved to Food Music earlier this year, releasing the Food EP to great acclaim. Here they follow it up with more shuffling, bottom-heavy house. With its pulsating sub-bass, classic US garage beats, choice samples and alien stabs, "Nightmode" is arguably the pick for peaktime plays. That said, the rush-inducing keys, cut-up vocals and cute melodies of "U Like" should also appeal to DJs who like their beats upfront and party-friendly.

Their latest cuts come courtesy of Food Music, who have been on fire in recent months, and they're nuthin' but a load of house tinted bangers. "Pushing Me" is a peak time monster for summer dancefloors such as Cocorico and Cavo Paradiso, while "The Feels" is bumpier and a touch more stuttering when it comes to its bass, and "Cosmic Vibes" shuts things down with a deep, sweltering low-end and minimalistic percussion slamming.
