Review: Sebra Cruz unleashes his debut album 'Don't Worry Psy Happy' on DJ Tennis' revered Life & Death imprint. The genre-defying LP encapsulates the Italian spirit in perfect style and comprises eleven daring tracks that experiment with various sounds including cinematic and ambient leaning sonics such as 'Optimist' and 'Poliziesco', the latter of which includes Gabriele Fabbri's atmospheric guitar riff throughout. 'The Siebel Road To Mars' is a powerful yet emotive record that samples current Italian President Sergio Mattarella between the piano and the extraterrestrial sound palette. 'Flying Junior', named after Cruz's own sailboat, emulates the peacefulness and tranquillity of the sea. Meanwhile, 'AltreCose', inspired by the energy of the Neapolitan people during Sebra's DJing residency in the 90s, is a high-energy disco-infused record. The album is a testament to the long-lasting and trusting collaborative relationship between Sebra Cruz and DJ Tennis.

Review: Under the now familiar Whitesquare alias, Maurice Uzzan has spent the last seven years bouncing between high profile and well-regarded labels such as Toy Tonics, Culprit, Freerange Records, DFTD and Life & Death. Here he returns to the latter label for the first time since 2019, delivering the first helping of a two-part release that tends towards the summery and celebratory. Opener 'Carte Blanche' is a driving, throbbing treat, with the Rome-based producer adding crunchy cowbells, spinetingling synth-pop chords, breakbeat bursts and mutilated male vocal samples to a druggy, intergalactic groove that reminded us of the most inspired 'space disco' moments of Hans-Peter Lindstron and Todd Terje. 'Lux Interior' meanwhile joins the dots between piano-laden Italian house, sweaty Italian house and glassy-eyed nu-disco.

Review: Brit Joseph Ashworth's sudden rise to the top has been noticed on top labels such as Dirtybird, Pets Recordings and Tessellate (as Firmin) and if this new one for Italian powerhouse Life & Death demonstrates - his time is truly now. The Londoner delivers a glassy-eyed and life-affirming journey on "Trooper", that sits somewhere between modern deep house and shoegaze with its spangling drones. But this is an afterthought compared to Windy City legend Ron Trent's emotive rendition, which will leave you breathless! This is followed by the tunneling tech-house cut "Laminated" which is also full of reliable dancefloor dynamics.

Review: According to the elaborate press release accompanying this release, "Solar Warriors" is "Marvin and Guy on rocket fuel". There's certainly something suitably cosmic about "Notte", the cut that opens the Italian duo's second outing on Life & Death. Beginning with an inspirational spoken word sample, the track boasts woozy, deep space synths, hissing cymbals, colourful synthesizer lines and breathlessly beautiful piano riffs gently rising above a quietly pulsing groove. It's very good, all told, as is "Idra" where chanteuse Perel adds an atmospheric spoken word vocal (in German) over a slightly darker groove and even more spacey chords and melodies. Further intergalactic bliss is provided via the jaunty synth-bass, skittish beats and supernova synthesizer flourishes of "Stige (9AM Mix)".

Review: By their usual standards, prolific Tel Aviv twosome Red Axes has enjoyed a relatively quiet year. In fact, this four-track EP on Life & Death contains their first original material of 2017. As usual, it's an eccentric collection of tracks. Compare, for example, the cowbell-rich, wonky house hustle of chiming opener "Calacol", which manages to be both funky and weird, and "Vego Gam", where surf guitars and alien synth lines surf an eccentric, post-punk house groove. The dancefloor eclecticism continues with the Italo-disco/dub disco fusion of "Round" makes way for the undulating tropical drums, pots-and-pans melodies and glassy-eyed vocal snippets of "Sami".

Review: This is simply a stunning album, the opening track 'Put Castle' sets the tone, as the vocal guilds us through the tracks different states and tones, we are keenly aware that this album wants to move out of its box. Moving into a 'Loveboat' we are enter a soft soundscape which washes over you in waves, before dropping into a head bobbing deep house beat and occasionally freaking you out with its creepy Willy Wonker-esque, vocal. At 8.33 'Moon' is the longest track on the LP, basking in white noise, it begins with subtle nods to techno and floats into a more structure house style, layers of shimmers and sparkles add light to what would otherwise be a minimal, ambient track and it's not until 5 minutes we really start to additional melodic elements. 'Fool You' has more upbeat funky kind of vibe, with organic sounding instruments and a gentle vocal. 'Dog Sled' is one of the harder tracks, with sharp, crisp sounds and striking piano. Do yourself a favour and listen to this album.
