Review: Guy J's Lost & Found bring us the fifth installment in their annual 'best of' series. The collection's sitting in our Deep House section but, like the label's output generally, would be equally at home on the progressive/melodic pages, with the label boss's two contributions sitting alongside tracks from other well-known names such as Brian Cid, Tantum, Stereo Underground and Roy Rosenfeld. It can all get a bit floaty and epic in places, and tracks like Stereo Underground's 'Space Fields' and Guy J's 'Beast Of Sea' arguably lean a little more towards the progressive techno side of things, but there's still much to enjoy here.
Land Of Goshen (Patrice Baumel remix) - (7:19) 124 BPM
One Day Of Independance (Termoment remix) - (8:55) 122 BPM
Review: Israeli rising star Khen gave us the absolutely sublime One Day Of Independence in late 2016 which was a fantastic voyage through the many shades of progressive house and proved that this guy is on to very big things. The protege of fellow Tel Aviv greats Guy J and Guy Mantzur now presents a bunch of serious remixes from said album taken on by an all-star cast. Our favourites here would have to be "Imaginal Cells" remixed by the aforementioned Guy J which is eight minutes of ethereal beauty, Diynamic affiliated Lehar gets onboard too with his rendition of "Prism" and gives it that Life & Death style dark journey vibe to it and an honourable mention to Amsterdam's favourite son Patrice Baumel whose version of "Land Of Goshen" is pretty brilliant if we do say ourselves: swimming in layers of mesmerising arpeggios.
Khen - "One Day Of Independence" (continuous mix) - (1:16:05) 122 BPM
Review: Israeli rising star, the Guy Mantzur mentored Khen is back and presents his long awaited debut album Day Of Independence, which sees this young artist in the global progressive house scene as a force to be reckoned with. The album is a cohesive effort, covering a wide variety of moods and grooves and skillful variations of his dreamy and hypnotic sound. There's last month's breakthrough single "Children With No Name" starting out the album in style, the very Life & Death sounding journey "Alumot" and there's also the adrenalised tech house of "Epidemic". Honorbale mentions also to the deep and immersive tribalism of "Anyway Now" and the Bronzed re-edit of "Anise", which does for some afterhours style minimal house flavour.
Review: Lost & Found is the sublabel of John Digweed's Bedrock Recordings; but you already knew that, so Guy Mantzur and Sahar Z need no introduction. Stalwarts of the label, the Tel Aviv based producers return with more finely tuned progressive house for sublime peak time moments yet again. Only this time they're given the suitable remix treatment, but dont worry; these recruits are equally in harmony with their sound. Take the Agents Of Time remix of "Small Heart Attack" which totally nails that in vogue prog sound so perfectly. Fellow countryman Guy J steps up to remix it too and delivers the goods as always with another sleek and slinky dancefloor detonator. Let's not forget Robert Babicz remix of "Our Foggy Trips", the veteran delivers a truly immaculate rework.
