How To Make Friends
Circadian Rhythm - (5:52) 125 BPM Hot
How To Make Friends - (6:40) 128 BPM
Review: London-based house producer Alex Virgo returns to Pomme Frite (a label he last graced with 2019's 'Can't Explain' EP) with a nifty little two-tracker. 'Circadian Rhythm' is up first, a pulsing, surging deep houser that sports a positively euphoric synth riff and a cut-up "never be wrong, never never be wrong" vocal. 'How To Make Friends' itself, meanwhile, is a more driving, uptempo kinda jam with old skool-sounding pianos, a nice hefty bassline and another nagging synth riff by way of a lead, with sampled, spoken vox making a brief appearance in the breakdown. File under 'uplifting'.

So Good - (6:08) 132 BPM
Lift Me Up - (5:34) 134 BPM Hot
U Forgot - (6:03) 133 BPM
Review: Following a smattering of well-received, self-released singles, Sopp has been signed up by Pomme Frite, an imprint well-known for showcasing the work of up-and-coming artists. You'll find energy aplenty across the three tracks on show. The producer opens proceedings with 'So Good', a breathless and brilliant romp in which hands-in-the-air piano riffs, tactile pads and tight acid lines rise above a pulsating, warehouse-ready techno groove, before joining the dots between Italo-disco, 'French touch' filter funk and piano-powered rave revivalism on the equally as large 'Take Me Up'. Closing cut 'U Forgot', meanwhile, sits somewhere between the muscular and loopy house hedonism of DJ Sneak and the vintage "techno-funk" of Dave Angel.

Watchin', Waiting
Dont Want It - (5:15) 131 BPM
Watchin', Waiting - (5:52) 127 BPM
Jim's Vision - (4:52) 133 BPM Hot
Review: Driving, no-nonsense disco-house is the order of the day on this three-tracker from Reece Johnson, who over the past 10 years has built up a healthy back catalogue of releases on the likes of Nervous, Midnight Riot, Tropical Disco, Lisztomania, Plastik People and Delve Deeper. 'Don't Want It' goes straight for the jugular with pounding 4/4s and synth-strings that just don't stop, 'Watchin', Waiting' itself treads a slightly deeper, funkier path and sports some fine diva wails, but the standout for yours truly is 'Jim's Vision', which maintains the tempo but has a slightly more musical edge, and which is topped with spoken vocal fragments from a certain Mr Morrison...

Burnin EP
Baby Please - (6:45) 135 BPM
Captain Future - (5:17) 129 BPM Hot
Pride - (7:00) 129 BPM
Tryin' - (7:19) 120 BPM
Review: Taikomochi co-founder Dead Rose Music Company has appeared on all manner of labels since making his debut 13 years ago, Wolf Music, Young Adults and Let's Play House included. Here he adds another imprint to his CV via a first outing on hyped outlet Pomme Frite. He hits the ground running with opener 'Baby Please', where echoing vocal samples from a much-loved Philly Soul classic rise above a bouncy, peak-time ready disco-house groove, before doffing a cap to Tiger & Woods and pulsating Italo-disco on the throbbing 'Captain Future'. He reaches for filters, reverb and delay on the swirling disco-house loop jam 'Pride', while closing cut 'Tryin' is a hazy, slowly building deep house jam built on mercilessly tweaked and edited disco samples.

Deep House
Shady Rhythms
Chubby - (6:16) 124 BPM
Disco Royale - (6:11) 125 BPM
Lucky Loop - (6:20) 113 BPM
Trumpet Punch - (5:58) 124 BPM Hot
Review: 'Deep' and 'disco' house are two sub-genres that in recent years have often been quite far apart. There was a time, though - round about 1995 or so - when there was a lot more interplay between the two styles, and now German deep house stalwart Phonk D takes us right back to those days on a dazzling four-tracker that's dripping in full-phat walking basslines, sax parps, soaring strings and 70s vocal snips. 'Trumpet Punch' is hard to beat for sheer energy and exuberance while 'Lucky Loop' comes closest to "proper" funk, but it's all good, trust!

Can't Stop Dancing (Hard Drive Library remix) - (5:30) 128 BPM
High Klub - (6:03) 128 BPM
Review: French producer Evenn has had previous releases on labels including Henry Street, Robsoul and Houseworx, and now he comes to London-based Pomme Frite with a four-tracker that evidences a love of classic French touch sounds of yore. 'Turismo' is all fluttering disco geetars and a treated, quite poppy male vocal snip, 'Can't Stop Dancing' is a far more urgent, eyes-down kinda cut that comes with a Hard Drive Library Remix which nudges towards mid-90s hardbag territory with its big, pounding bass and screeching synths, while completing the package is 'High Klub', a tuffer, almost Wild Pitch-ish take on the filter disco sound.

Oranje EP
Oranje - (6:51) 127 BPM
Oranje (Make A Dance mix) - (7:08) 127 BPM Hot
Shimshek - (8:53) 130 BPM
Sterek - (6:46) 128 BPM
Review: Although he's now based in London, Frederik Hendrik grew up in Amsterdam in the late 1980s. That period in Dutch dance music history has informed his productions, at least on this debut EP for the fast-rising Pomme Frite imprint. Opener 'Oranje' is both trippy and pleasingly funky, with acid style electronics rubbing shoulders with boogie-style synth solos and colourful motifs atop a chunky house beat. Label stalwarts Make a Dance emphasise the more hallucinatory and mind-altering elements of that track on their fine remix, before Hendrik returns to lay down the proto-house-meets-Euro-dance cheeriness of 'Shimshek' and the early Dutch deep house feel of EP highlight 'Sterek'.

Pineapple Groove EP
Pineapple Groove - (5:11) 130 BPM Hot
Three Stars - (4:45) 128 BPM
House Oh Yeah - (4:46) 128 BPM
Review: "Groove" is very much the operative word here, as Japanese producer Guchon - who also sometimes records as Ero Sex Boing, possibly the greatest artist name of all time - serves up three looping dancefloor workouts. 'Pineapple Groove' itself is a sprightly lil' number with a suprisingly high BPM count, 'Three Stars' drops the tempo a little and sports snatches of chipmunk'd female vocal (unless it's just a Minnie Ripperton sample, of course!), while 'House Oh Yeah' is a notch or two tuffer in the 4/4s department and opts for a snippeted male vocal this time. All three will keep 'em moving for sure.
