Review: Montreal's Greg Pidcock is more usually affiliated with Hot Creations but appears here this time for Matt Tolfrey's always reelable Leftroom for some deep and slinky tech house. First up is the rather sexy late night jam "Big Bump" which also gets a stellar remix by South American homeboy Andre Salmon. The Ecuadorian producer giving the track a druggier and bumpier sense of groove, more suited to the afterhours with its throbbing bass and hi toms creating a trippy sense of hypnotism. Another great release here by the Peruvian-Canadian producer now based in London.
House With 500 Rooms (original mix) - (9:14) 123 BPM

Review: It seems an eternity since Benoit & Sergio first made their mark on DFA and Visionquest. In the grand scheme of things, it wasn't so long ago - they made their debut on both labels in 2011 - but that doesn't stop this outing on Leftroom Ltd feeling like a reunion with old friends. All their classic elements - the woozy vocals, nods towards melancholic synth-pop and love of tactile musical elements - are still present, but are also joined by a variety of bolder touches that give "House With 500 Rooms" a more classic house feel. These include some big piano riffs, disco-influenced drums and a Chicago-influenced bassline. You can hear a little more of these elements on the accompanying Dub, which is probably our pick of the two tracks.
