Review: John Digweed's Bedrock sub label Lost & Found delivers more sure-fire progressive house again, this time in the form of Athens based producer Harris Sgourdas aka Blusoul who was released previously on Juicebox and 3rd Avenue. "Modular Memories" is a deep, atmospheric and downright funky number with the adequate amount of transcendental pads and risers to give any dancefloor a head rush. It even has some nice vocals that sound like Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode. Israeli maverick and label mainstay Guy Mantzur gets on the remix, giving the track a more adrenalised and darker take for added dancefloor dynamics.
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: Guy J is a minimal/dream artist hailing from Israel (think Guy Gerber, Chaim etc) whose proggy productions led to an impressive long player on Bedrock. No one can argue that it's a fine line between nu-disco and trance, nobody except Guy J that is, and here on Octavia he blurs the line as best he can. The title track is a glistening and intricate pulsator that resonates with chimes and dreamy pads. "Release Me" on the other hand is the kind of spacey hiNRG favoured by the late great Patrick Cowley. Seductive stuff.
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.
