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.
Review: Lost & Found main man Guy J is in a celebratory mood, in part because the label is on the cusp of hitting a century of releases. He may well have something special planned for release 100, but first, there's the small matter of 'LF099' - this expansive compilation of previously unreleased gems in the imprint's trademark style. Guy J naturally sets the tone with pleasingly wonky, moody and mind-altering opener 'Metal Dreams', before Chicola drops the melody-rich progressive house of 'Dreams For Breakfast' and Guy Mantzur goes deep, tech-tinged and hypnotic on 'Love in a Bottle'. Highlights continue to pop up throughout, with our picks including the rushing, sun-splashed gorgeousness of Eli Nissan's 'Valley of the Winds', the trance-inducing deep-tech wooziness of Khen's 'Golden Key', and the low-slung brilliance of Guy J's 'Illusions'.
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.
Review: Israeli wunderkind Khen (238 W/Sudbeat) teams up with fellow scene legend Guy Mantzur on the latter's always reliable Lost & Found imprint with "Children With No Name"; an absolutely epic and elevating progressive house journey featuring some euphoric arpeggios, life affirming strings and Kamila's absolutely angelic vocals all working in harmony on a track that will allow you to transcend far beyond the dancefloor. A huge hit prediction right here and further evidence that the future of the genre is emanating from Tel Aviv, that's for sure.
