Review: The 120th release on esteemed Swiss imprint Morris Audio is a multi-artist affair, with a quartet of artists - some well-known, others rising stars - delivering predictably high-quality cuts. Sometime See-Saw and Quintessentials contributor Decent Rides steps up first with 'At The Terrance', an analogue-rich chunk of Move D-esque deep house excellence, before experienced Italian artist The Mechanical Man delivers a synthesizer-rich fusion of Italo-disco, analogue nu-disco and sun-bright Chicago style house ('Saw Killer'). Tree Threes' 'Check It Out' brilliantly blurs the boundaries between dusty old U.S deep house and early morning New Jersey garage flavours on 'Check It Out', while Keita Sano's breezy 'Everywhere' is a masterclass in jazzy, lo-fi piano house.
Review: Three cheers for Stefan Riesen's Morris Audio imprint, which has now notched up a century of releases after two decades in the game. By way of celebration, Riesen has decided to release a clutch of EPs containing a wealth of previously unheard gems. Part one begins with the Motor City influenced deep house jack of Iron Curtis's "Ultraviolett [100 Mix]", where shimmering chords slowly rise above sturdy beats and a wonderfully raw analogue bassline. Anna Wall and Corbi join forces for the sinewy deep house sensuality of "Tower of Babble" - all dreamy chords, lilting melodies and fuzzy analogue bass - before Repika serves up the hypnotic deep space chords and bustling bottom end grooves of "Don't Break". Arguably best of all, though, is the all-action contemporary Chicago house funkiness of Elvis Cassetta's "Lethargy Zero".
