Review: Having previously operated exclusively on Heist Recordings, Makez has decided to mix things up. "Elevation" marks the producer's first outing on long-running Brooklyn imprint Let's Play House; what's more, it could well be his strongest EP to date. He begins in confident fashion via the starry but bumpin' deep house positivity of "Melting" - all sustained electric piano chords, slap-bass, glassy-eyed pads and whispered vocal samples - before exploring even more melodic and dreamy territory on "Elevation". The headline attraction though is probably Tone Adjustment collaboration "Merlot", which is available in two distinctive forms. The original mix sees the pair smother swinging jazz-house beats and squelchy jazz-funk bass in excitable piano solos, while the accompanying "Basement Dub" is a piano-laden exercise in muscular late night bump.

Review: Manakinz may be a new name, but the debutant duo behind the project has plenty of experience. James "Harri" Harrigan has been a Sub Club resident for well over three decades now, while 34 year-old Max Raskin is a Scottish actor and music maker who has been a familiar face on the Glasgow scene for some time. There's naturally plenty to set the pulse racing on "Wild Combination", from the darting synths, good-time vocal samples and driving grooves of opener "Lampaholics", to the spiraling and mind-altering, arpeggio-fired disco-house throb of "Le Stoat" and the spiraling synthesizer motifs of the amusingly titled "Happy Bovril". Digital bonus "Bassline", where fizzing electronics and disco string samples cluster around a typically low-slung groove, is also rather impressive.

Review: Ask Bordeaux native Robin Laroze about influences and he'll cite the likes of Theo Parrish, Omar S and Moodymann. But he'll also namecheck Salsoul and Motown, and it's that side of his musical education that's most obvious on this EP comprised of five tracks, all of which come from the disco-fied end of the deep house spectrum. File 'I Wanna Know' under blissed-out, 'I Don't Need You' under energetic, 'Shine On' under authentically 70s-sounding, 'Let You Down' under soulful and 'Salut Michel' under jazz-flecked barrio funk... or just scoop up all five and chuck them into the box marked 'quality'.

Review: Let's Play House's latest missive comes from the previously unheard Raffaello & Palermo, a studio hook-up between Magic Touch man Damon Palero and Raphael Valensi (best known for his disco/house fusions under the Laura Ingalls alias). Predictably, it's a strong EP that boasts house tracks to suit a variety of moods and environments. So while "New Boys" is a muscular, pulsating, stab-heavy and warehouse-friendly, "The Spirit" sounds like early Daft Punk with a little more loose swing. In contrast, "Grimaldi's Shanghai" is built around both tactile, boogie style synth bass and swirling, starry electronics, while closer "Crazy Eduardo" conjures up fantasies of dancing to Red Zone dubs at the Sound Factory, sometime in the early-'90s.
