Review: Geddes Nofitstate label is back with Northern lads in London The Willers Brothers, with a bit of help from their buddy Dissonance on the lush dub house antics of "So Yeah" with its hypnotising chords and infectious beat ticking all the right boxes. Second offering "Stay True" dives even deeper; this is exactly the kind of proper stuff that we appreciate in the vein of Swiss producers like Agnes or Baaz. Finally "Thursday Vibe" stays in deep territory but injects a bit of a '90s NYC swing into proceedings, for something that's really sexy and emotive.
Review: UK young gun Jody Barr has released previously on Krankstate and now for Mulletover mainman Geddes' Nofitstate. His stuff has been championed by the likes of Maceo Plex, Sasha and George Fitzgerald so his star's definitely on the rise. "Cranes" is bouncy tech house with the right amount of grit and darkness for late night adrenaline. "Chop Suey" fuses dub techno and rolling minimal aesthetics perfectly on this afterhours joint with attitude while "En Pointe Phoenix" strips things back and lets the atmospherics do all the work between the beats on this mysterious acid driven warm up track.
Review: Mulletover head honcho Geddes' No Fit State label is still going. This time he's got London duo Zoo Look onboard, who've previously released on Tsuba and Sccucci Manucci so you know what kind of deep tech house grooves to expect. First track "Hurricane Run" is peak time tech house that's as deep as it is adrenalised, with dreamy chords contrasted by a trippy and delayed melody and a sturdy beat. "A Little Closer" is more on the deep house tip with more dreamy house keys, deep rolling bass and ethereal chords supporting a tough beat. "The Mind Gap" goes even deeper, this time swapping the 4/4 beat for a smooth breakbeat, dreamy chords, druggy pitch shifted vocals and trippy sound design. Finally "Feel" features a sampled dialogue backed by an ethereal tech house accompaniment, perfect for the closing set.
Review: It's been a while since A1 Bassline last sullied our souls with his low-end shuffles. But he's back with four killer tracks that showcase his deeper side. "Hidden Agenda" is straight out of the late 90s before garage got so dark it morphed into dubstep; featuring shuddering drums and off-beat bass bubbles, it's a great way to show the deep house fakers how it's really done. "Burnt Out Piano Island" jacks with more of a Chicago vibe, all chop-slappy and sample-soaked, while "Outsider" is a brighter, breezier affair with a synth hook so sharp it could catch a shark. "T Moe P" brings the show to a close on another 4/4 UKG vibe; laced with stretchy subs and jitterbug keys, it will have both the bass and deep house communities in a lather. Welcome back A1.
