Hot Since 82, Miss Kittin, Nick Curly & Jansons - "Naboo" (Nick Curly & Jansons remix) - (6:38) 126 BPM
Played by: Juno Recommends Minimal Tech
Review: Knee Deep In Sound has enjoyable a prolific and profitable 2021. As a result, this 15-track offering is packed to the rafters with vibrant and purposeful peak-time treats, including a string of cuts from high-profile artists such as CamelPhat and Hot Since 82. The latter's organ-heavy, '90s garage-influenced hook-up with Big Miz, 'Rules (Big Miz Mix)' is a highlight, as is the extra-percussive, 21st century tribal house flex of Yousef & CamelPhat's 'April' and the deep house dreaminess of Simon Doty's 'The Beacon'. Our other picks of a very strong bunch include the dark, throbbing drug-pump of Yousef & CamelPhat's 'One Summer' and the trance-tinged, sub-heavy tech-house rumble of Josh Butler's 'Roskill'.

Review: Newcastle Upon Tyne's fast rising star Christoph returns with nine tracks of sheer power for Hot Since 82's powerhouse Knee Deep In Sound. Starting out with the slinky and seductive progressive house of "Closer", featuring Jinadu's soaring and elegant vocal work. Lead single "Alone" gets really adrenalised with its powerful arpeggio fuelling this pre-peak time weapon and yet again featuring some great vocals. Other highlights include the moody atmospherics of "Absent Mentor", which is perfect for the late night and label head honcho himself Daley Padley turning in a typically explosive rendition of "Closer" like he only can!

Review: With releases this year coming from Athea, Huxley and Hot Since 82, Knee Deep In Sound has been a go to portal for contemporary house and techno-isms. This compilation lifts highlights from the label's 2019 catalogue and pool of artists with label owner Hot Since 82 leading the way with "You Are The Light". Contributing deeper trance elements and bouncing basslines is "Tilted" also, while other ndeniable house, dub techno and vocal numbers come from Maxinne, Miane and Freddie Frampton. And with 2020 still not here yet, Huxley too delivers a delectable percussive number in "Evolution".

Review: Here it is, the definitive review of the year that was 2018 by Hot Since 82 & Co. Featuring all the surefire dancefloor weapons that soundtracked one terrific year and that will no doubt burn up dancefloors for many more years to come. Highlights include the epic "Buggin'" by the Knee Deep In Sound head honcho himself, fellow Leeds heroes Audiojack on the funked-up "First Flight", the Hot Creations affiliated Richy Ahmed on the tough rolling tech house of "Technique" (D'julz remix) and Spanish veterans Chus & Ceballos delivering a wickedly deep dub for the back room on "Ain't Nobody" - among many others.

Review: Since arriving on the house scene about three years ago, Daley Padley aka HS82, has soared to some dizzying heights. Having already released a mix album with Pete Tong this year, he's now back with a solo one, 2015: The Review. Its full of fresh, upbeat house productions, some of our faves include Montel's disorientating "I Cant Remember", Sindey Charles and Sante's acid-pop stomper "Blade" and the retro 80s chaos of vintage jacker "Libertine" by Steve Lawler.

Review: After starting his career like a whirling dervish, Hot Since 82 man Daley Padley has slowed down considerably in recent times. In fact, this expansive, eight-track collection of cuts is his most significant release for over two years. Padley hits the ground running with deep and picturesque tech-house shuffler "Vapours", before reaching for the wonky synth bass, Balearic house pianos and ricocheting percussion hits on "Tilted". A trio of typically tidy vocal cuts (including Jem Cooke-voiced former singles "Buggin" and "You Are The Light) follows before Padley unleashes the celebratory, sample-heavy peak-time madness of "Bloodlines". Cooke returns to speak seductively over some late night grooves on "Street Lights", while closing cut "Remains of the Day" is a near symphonic deep house rush.

Review: It's that time of year again when all the industry heavyweights and wannabes alike converge in Miami for WMC. Deals are signed, hits are made and stars are born and the likes of Hot Since '82 and his Knee Deep In Sound imprint are playing centre stage. This compilation no doubt showcases what had hands in the air on Nikki beach's dancefloors this Summer such as Moonwalk's absolutely massive "Reflection"; the perfect track to transition into the peak time and possibly the most razor sharp bassline you'll hear all year. Honourable mentions also to Anhouser & Who Else who get well funky and progressive on "Apology" which sounds like it could have been on Sasha & Digweed's Northern Exposure a good twenty years ago and Outstrip's "Galosha" definitely the most fierce cut on here; a stripped back, slinky tech house tool that's made more the late shift.

Review: As Hot Since 82 is in the midst of the second season of his Labyrinth residency at Pacha Ibiza, his Knee Deep In Sound label present their annual sampler inspired by the island. As always these albums are an opportunity to showcase up and coming talent, with the remit being tracks that are working on the dancefloor for the label boss both in Ibiza and beyond. Highlights include Spanish power duo Chus & Ceballos' dub laden hypnotism on "Ain't Nobody", French legend Oxia's electrifying peak time tool "Instinct" and even a bit of German-style dancefloor drama on the suspense filled "Night Crawler" by Hauswerks. Fellow German (speakers!) Dennes Deen and Philipp Strab from Austria contribute also, with the sexy and slinky prog house groove of "Haunted Drums".

Review: Ahead of the annual ADE, Hot Since 82's label has compiled an exclusive seven-track release. It starts with Romano Alfieri's "The Flagman", a rolling chord-heavy slice of filtered techno that breaks, drops and builds in all the right places. Vibe Killers' "Means of Escape" sees the tempo slowing down to focus on the house sound of New York as tribal drums underpin muffled vocal chants. The sampler swings back towards techno as Montel Citizenn drops the dense rhythm and trance-y synths of "I Feel So" - which, rather fittingly, has echoes of the classic Dutch techno record, Timeless Altitude by Secret Cinema - while Sydney Blu's "Mind Games" is more contemporary sounding thanks to its rolling snares, shrieking siren riffs and wild build-ups.

Review: Hot Since 82 brings out the big guns on Knee Deep In Sound: Miami 2017 Sampler and shows all the party animals just how you make main room/peak time tech house that rolls with the best of 'em! Tring's finest Huxley is back and appears here with the sleek and slinky groove of "Harissa" with as much bump and shuffle as you like, Germany's Mathias Kaden appears too with the druggy and adrenalised power of "Desolate" (which is sure to induce a headrush or two this Summer) and the label head honcho himself makes an appearance with the euphoric power of "Renegade" surprisingly the least heavy offering but equally as strongs as the other fine tunes here by Fluendte and Danny Serrano.

Currently standing at the top of the commercial house food chain, Padey reaffirms this anointed position with a sample of the sounds his Knee Deep In Sound label will be treating the White Isle to this summer with a fine sampler.

Review: "Buggin"" was the first single from Hot Since 82"s 8-track album project, released back in 2018. Featuring the fine vocal talents of Jem Cooke, the track was inspired by the distinct brand of early noughties house music that he"s said to love. Four years on, we"re treated to a bunch of fine new versions here: whether it"s Jorhav"s slinky and hypnotic remix, UR2wo"s rework is a throwback to the evocative progressive breaks sound of the late "90s, while Svan Code"s re-rub tackles the main room at peak time with its tough rolling tech house groove. Elsewhere, Emma Forster"s rendition will get the hands in the air with her uplifting house perspective.

Review: Hot Since 83's Knee Deep In Sound returns with rising star Athea aka James Dutton, who is said to have spent the last decade 'percolating deep within the music industry' with a lifetime of musical appreciation standing behind him. Starting out with the tough and adrenalised progressive house of "Into The Deep", there's the then the Ibiza styled main room tech house of "Capoeira" which receives an absolutely killer remix by Leonardo Gonnelli. Nick Curly's right hand man Gorge also delivers a great rendition of the aforementioned track, delivering a typically funky and percussive driven slow burner, purposely built for the after-hours.

The Brighton-born DJ/producer has had a terrific run of releases on Toolroom in recent times, in addition to Criminal Hype and her own imprint Red Alert.

Additionally, New York City's Avision bridges the gap between Detroit and dub techno on his electrifying version of "Let It Ride".

Review: London producer Jansons is the latest artist to appear on Hot Since 82's label - and this diverse release suggests that this is not the last we will hear of him. "Ensemble" blurs the boundaries between house and techno with its buzzing bass and insistent back beats, while on "Spinnin", he takes inspiration from the sound of late 90s West Coast house to create a hazy, dub-heavy tribal groove. Most impressive is the title track, where insistent piano keys and a ponderous spoken word vocal crash in over a jittery, jacking track. Phil Weeks turns it into a spiky percussive affair on his rework, while Doc Martin's take on "Spinnin" sees the veteran US producer add some tripped out disco flavour to the mix.

Review: The latest release on Hot Since 82's label sees upcoming artist Cristoph flex his muscles. With releases already on Defected, Suara and Noir, he doesn't fail to impress with Go. The title track is a bass-heavy, booming techno tune with epic synth builds. "Transmittance" is in a similar vein, with enormous bass pulses taking centre stage as epic crescendo after crescendo ensues. The label has also drafted in some top class remixers; French producer Oxia turns "Transmittance" into a dark, pulsing techno groove, and Riva Starr's version of the title track has the same levels of squelchy bass as Timo Maas' infamous remix of "Doom's Night".

Where the original treads a slinky and hypnotic route accompanied by sleek 303 acid, funky cowbells and sexy vocals, UK legend Bushwacka takes it down a darker more tunnelling route for the late night. Elsewhere, New York City's Joeski strips things down and goes deeper - he even offers an Alternative remix at the end which pumps it up with some tough syncopated rhythm patterns with added dancefloor dynamics.

Review: Frankfurt DJ and producer Emanuel Satie made his name through labels like Get Physical and DFTD over the last three years, and we've grown fond of his techy house swing. Here we have a new EP on Knee Deep and it all starts with the funky swings of "Paffo's Riff", a dance-ready house bomb with a funky bassline and a hot piano riff dedicated to someone called Paffo. The rest is all pure house quality, with "Big Love" heading down techier zones; Guti remixes the title track into a deeper, more expansive DJ tool, and Pirupa transforms "Big Love" from dark to vibrant and playful.

Review: Mobilee boss Anja Schneider moonlights for Hot Since 82's label. The title track sees Schneider at her most dance floor-focused, with jittery percussion and siren riffs leading a pacey groove. By contrast, "Free Fall" is a minimal track in the classic sense - centred on a pitch-bent vocal that insinuates itself gradually into the arrangement, it is accompanied by a niggling acid line at every step of the journey. Knee Deep have commissioned two fine remixes; William Djoko turns the title track into a noisy, workout, led by a jarring rhythm, while on the Alex Arnout version of "Free Fall", the spirit of Lil' Louis is channeled for a spine-tingling, swirling chord climax

Review: Mannheim's Gorge has sure carved a name out for himself over the last decade, as being part of a collective of tech house producers who defined a new strain of the sound in the late noughties. Working alongside close associate and local don Nick Curly as his right hand man in the studio for some time, he's since worked more or less on his own in recent times while continuing to run the established 8 bit imprint: which the pair started back in 2007. Real name Peter Waldmann, he serves up an explosive one here for Hot Since 82's Knee Deep In Sound powerhouse. There's some driving and entrancing tech house that employs his signature latin rhythms on "Ajala" which later gets a hi-tech soul styled rendition by the legendary Steve Lawler. This soulful, Carl Craig-ish tribute will sure create some life affirming moments on the dancefloor.

Review: Berlin undisputed legends recruit Nottingham based vocalist on "Neon Gods", a sublime serving of pop-inflected tech house for late night superclub dancefloors courtesy of Hot Since '82's Knee Deep In Sound powerhouse. The original version is a dark and sleazy kind of groove for 6 AM hedonism with a rough and gutsy bassline and it's this version which is used for the dub. The "Vocal" mix has that famous Booka Shade bassline over some dark, moody and epic synth work for added suspense. This is one of those dark journey tracks you need for added pre-peak time impact. There's a convenient "Radio" edit too which effectively distils the essence of the track into three minutes.

Review: Hot Since 82's Knee Deep In Sound is back with Kuo Climax, a Spanish producer and DJ from Malaga. "Alone" is rolling, slinky tech house with killer chords and one tightly programmed rhythm that will appeal to fans of Saved or Gruuv. "Long Time" keeps on with the rolling groove but is definitely more rowdy and suited to the peak time for mega parties on the White Isle. It gets a killer remix by Ben Grunnell which is clean cut and to the point; not as druggy, more summery, but definitely as funky. Leftwing & Kody's remix of "Alone" has one absolute killer of a drop that soon gives way adrenalised and atmospheric progressive house groove.

Review: In its original form, Nick Curly and the Jansons 'Go' is a funky fusion of "French Touch" style filter disco and melodious, life-affirming deep house colour. You'll find it buried in the middle of their latest EP, which is headed up by a Budakid rework of the track that thrillingly re-imagines it as a mid-'90s progressive house inspired fusion of thrusting arpeggio-style synth-bass, raw electronic lead lines and wonderfully melancholic piano motifs. Elsewhere, loopy and pumping nu-disco number 'Chip Butty' (track 4) is also given a muscular makeover by Alex Kennon, whose thumping neo-trance revision is as excitable as it is steroid-fuelled.

Review: Greece's Mihalis Safras is still at it which is nice to see. Making it big with some great minimal tunes just after the mid noughties but jumping ship at just the right time with some pretty decent tech house tunes afterwards on Traum and Great Stuff to name but a few. Now doing his things for Hot Since 82's Knee Deep In Sound and it's a fitting home really. "Barrage" is druggy, main room tech house that's perfect for those pre peak time moments. The remix by Secondcity though is proper peak time business the rips through the speakers like a steamtrain; you could imagine Paco Osuna or Carlo Lio smashing this out. "Save Me" is a more classic sounding 808 jam with a bumping bassline and old school vocal samples for the more retro inclined, with an exotic, slinky tech house remix by Hot Creations man Russ Yallop.

Review: With releases on Hot Creations and Seth Troxler's Say It Play It to his credit, Richy Ahmed now makes his debut on Hot Since 82's label. The title track is an irresistible slice of tech-house, with the UK producer dropping an ominous bass over a tight, jacking groove. On "Technique", a more rudimentary approach applies, as Ahmed deploys a horn riff and pitch-bent vocals to create a moody sound. The label has tapped D'Julz to rework "Technique" and in the Bass Culture boss' hands it turns into a pumping, percussive affair, supported by menacing low end. Jesse Perez also provides a rework of the title track, turning it into a bubbling, percussive workout supported by an eerie synth build.
