Luv Shack
Review: As the matter-or-fact title makes clear, this expansive affair brings together a wealth of tracks from two of Luv Shack's most prolific and consistent artists, Jakobin and ROCTIV. The former steps up first with a trio of tracks. Of these, it's opener 'Drawan' - a deliciously trippy and mind-mangling slab of psychedelic house rich in TB-303 acid bass, fizzing electronics and ghostly chords - that most impresses, though IDM-goes-breakbeat bubbler 'Skulpt' and the deep and trippy 'Octagonal Tribe' are also excellent. ROCTIV drops four tracks, flitting between bass-heavy, acid-flecked breakbeat ('Frenezy', 'Living Art'), re-born early 90s progressive house/nu-disco fusion ('No More Room In Hell') and sub-heavy psychedelic sleaziness ('The Confidence').

Burnin Tears - "Permanent Midnite" (feat Georges Perin - Lee Stevens & Local Suicide remix) - (5:19) 111 BPM
Played by: Local Suicide
Review: Two years ago, Luv Shack celebrated turning ten with the release of 'Retroscope', a killer collection of reworks of classic cuts from the catalogue. This sequel repeats the formula, delivering five more fresh revisions of Luv Shack classics. Polish cosmic disco superhero Das Komplex steps up first with a typically trippy, dubbed-flecked nu-disco take on Jakobin's 'See Me Through', before Rosa Red reaches for psychedelic TB-303 lines and hot-stepping beats on a pitched-up revision of 'If You' by Ken Hayakawa and Lee Stevens. The latter's LeSale hook-up 'LuvSick' is then re-imagined as a dark Italo throbber by Tomasz Guiddo. To round things off, Stevens joins forces with Local Suicide on an Italo-meets-deep synth-pop revision of Burnin' Tears' 'Permanent Midnite' before Local Suicide delivers a moodier and sleazier solo take on the same track.

Review: Vienna-born Lee Stevens is back on Luv Shack Records with his latest EP, marking his first solo release since 2012's 'LUV001'. For this release, he's taken on the Rising Seed alias and is exploring a more laid-back sound. 'Right On', the opening track, merges Ennio Morricone's and John Carpenter's signature styles to create a synth-heavy dance music universe. 'Maskaron' pays tribute to new wave and obscure Italo disco with chanting that will transport you back to 1970s western movies. 'Trippin' On Your Love' takes us on a journey through proto-house and synth-dance, complete with arp bass and occasional breakbeats. 'Ju Know', the fourth track, features Stevens and longtime collaborator Simonlebon in a moody jam, complete with heavy low-end synths, bittersweet vocal samples, and 80s pop-style piano chords. Finally, 'Destruction', the closing track, combines tight 808 drums with a dark bassline and eerie vocals, while uplifting synth chords remind us that there is still hope.

Review: Ten months after unveiling their first batch of 'Disco Biscuits', Luv Shack has served up another piping hot selection of Viennese Whirls. Ken Hayawaka and Lee Stevens are first to showcase their crunchy and crumbly wares on 'If You', a riff-sporting, warehouse ready chunk of nu-disco-tinged house nostalgia, before LeSale reaches for the chocolate chips on the bubbly, vibrant and crystal-clear nu-disco sparkle of 'What Lies Beyond'. Fast-rising Polish producer Das Komplex is at his cosmic, dubbed-out best on the cheery disco-not-disco excellence of 'Odmewianie', while Jakobin and Domino's EP-closing 'Square One' sandwiches squelchy synth-bass and dreamy chords between piping hot nu-disco beats and spacey electronics.

Review: Many happy returns to Luv Shack Records, which has now been in the game for 10 long years. To celebrate, they've asked a bunch of hugely talented producers to deliver fresh interpretations of classic cuts from the catalogue. Predictably, it's Norwegian heavyweight Prins Thomas who steals the show, turning Space Echo's 'Come Back Home' into a subtly Afro-tinged slab of Scandolearic dub disco that stretches out for 11 alluring minutes. There's plenty to set the pulse racing elsewhere across the EP, too, including a chugging, dark Italo-influenced rub of Rising Seed's 'Train To Kishmarton' by ROCTIV, a loose and languid, sun-kissed vocal disco rework of Space Echo's 'Soul Power' by Golden Boogie Connection, and an atmospheric, slow motion and decidedly horizontal Rising Seed dub of Lee Stevens' 'Ridin' High'.

Review: Four original productions plus a remix of the title track make up this EP from RotCiv, a Brazilian producer who's been based in Berlin since 2010. 'Elev8tion' comes from the Moroder/Baldelli/Robotnick school of thought but has a clear acid house influence as well, while Massimiliano Pagliara's remix smooths out the sharper edges and could work on progressive/melodic house floors. The other three tracks are similarly Italo-inspired, with 'The Morning After' the pick for this reviewer thanks to its slightly less frantic tempo and ominous, broody feel. There's plenty of similar tackle around right now, but this EP's a worthy example of the style for sure.
