Review: Having cut his teeth and caused attention with a string of accomplished bootlegs, west country repper Jaquo returns to his original repertoire with three sinewy slices of dark-tinged house. "NYC" is a fast Trax experience into the heart of house music's genus; all linear bass and crafted vocal elements. "Palm" takes us back to the bass-bitten future with a bulbous subby groove that nods respectfully at My Nu Leng and New York Transit Authority. "I See U" takes us even further into the future with a bubbly, techy groove and snippety-snip vocal playfulness. We see you Jaquo, we see you.

Review: Following a single-track salvo on a split release from the eccentric Play More Terrys label, Hot 'N' Heavy has handed a debut EP to Ian Place. The Washington D.C-based producer takes his chance impressively, delivering a couple of solid, floor-friendly rubs shot through with warm deep house flavour. "Control" features warm chords sprawled over a bumpin', low-end heavy groove and vintage US garage-influenced drums. There's a bit more shuffle to the drums on "Old Fashioned", but it's the sub-heavy UKG style bassline that really catches the ear. A promising debut is completed by a pair of remixes of "Control" from Bob Citrus (snappier and wonkier) and Tone Chaser, Commodore 69 and Fansea (deep house with dub techno influences).

Review: Having previously delivered seriously tasty material from Mak & Pasteman, Tanka and Hybu, Bay Area bass specialists Hot N Heavy turn to up and coming NYC producer Whiskers Po for their latest release. Opener "Yes" sets the tone, delivering the kind of kaleidoscopic, fluorescent, organ heavy house cut that successfully apes the current wave of British bass-house. "Rift" is more robust, with surging sub bass, twisted vocal samples and skittering rhythms delivering bags of energy despite its marginally slower tempo. The package is completed by two fearless remixes of the title track, with Corporal F delivering a bouncy, kuduro-influenced take and Principal Dean turning Whiskers' smooth cut into an addictive, deep house/fidget hybrid.

Review: CDBL appears on Hot N Heavy for the first time after rising through the ranks of other labels Sounds Of Sumo and Orlinzo. Here CDBL delivers two killer cuts of club music for the peak time while keeping the euphoria to a minimum. This is best heard in "Watch Out" which sounds like a club-ready 2014 remake of Mr Oizo's "Flat Eric" while the title track fuses catchy hooks with groovy drums and liquid basslines with a hint of acid. It also comes with four remixes - two of each track - with Mark Starr's version of "Come On" getting slow and dirty while Hybu's effort works the bass and adds a synth that sounds like it's impersonating a falling star. Pasteman collaborator Tanka adds vocals to his mix percussive remix, while Commodore 64 injects the EP with some refreshing techno.

Review: BSN Posse, who have appeared previously on the Slime imprint, land on their feet for Hot N Heavy with a blistering two-tracker, reminding us not to take the winter so seriously. "Rum & Coconut" merges 4/4 kicks with majestic, warm chords and gentle female vocals riding in the background. "You Know The Way" speeds up the tempo but retains the cloudiness and mystique of the previous track, giving us an uplifting, quasi-garage anthem for the coming months. Blissful.

Review: Manchester's own Mako returns to Hot n Heavy recordings with a startlingly good collection of tunes. Featuring the eccentric vocal talents of Truthos Mufasa and Alaina Gabriel, there's more to his brand of bass-driven post-garage and house than meets the eye. Mako's original approach to production is what gives each track a unique spin, from the slippery chopped up vocals of "Take A Chance" to the old-style dubstep and hard techno of "Roll Out". It's an exciting and strangely endearing run through genres and sound experiments.

Review: Renaissance man Etienne Giminez has set dancefloors alight with his unique bass productions while also holding down a career as a music journalist. This, his latest EP, channels the spirit of the great Elizabeth Taylor and is as schizophrenic, drug fuelled and generally bonkers as Taylor herself (which, by the way, is a good thing). "The Way We Dance Together" is deep 4 x 4 with hints of UKG, "Sweat" is all choppy disco-ravey grooves, while the title track is about getting a deep jack on. Remix-wise Druid Cloak nails it with smooth tropical washes and slow poolside beats. Lovely.

Review: Spawned from the Manchester collective Generic Greeting, Frenchfire is a 23-year-old self-proclaimed 'ambient bass music' producer. Maybe it was his production skills or maybe it was his sense of humour (he named a recent track after his favourite season of Mad Men), but either way he's come to the attention of San Francisco's Hot N Heavy, who now release this two-tracker. Both tracks are impressively realised, with "North" being an almost beatless ethereal whirl, while "South" introduces gentle garage-flavoured beats into the equation, resulting in a deep and sensuous sound. Classy.

Review: Making their debut on Hot N Heavy, Motif & Ramu show themselves to be more than capable of creating bass heavy yet lightweight music for the floor; "Just You" is an effervescent combination of 90s house stylings and swung garage beats, with the kind of fizzy melodics worthy of a Jacques Greene production, while "See The Future" is a considerably darker number, pitching its vocals right down into a dub infused, bass filled soundscape which is nevertheless primed for maximum dancefloor effect.
