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'.

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.

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...

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.

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!

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.

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'.

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.

Review: After establishing themselves via. Atrio of self-released vinyl singles, German duo Hard Drive Library make their digital bow on Pomme Frite. Excitable, peak-time ready fun is the name of the game throughout, as the Hamburg-based pair cannily combine attractive disco loops with their own insatiable, sweat-soaked house beats. This trademark style is arguably best exemplified by stomping opener 'Gloria' and the throbbing, bass guitar-propelled shirtless strut of 'Queen', which reminded us of happy times dancing to old Soundstream releases. That said, the dreamier 'Messing Up', where flute loops and filtered orchestration catch the ear, and EP closer 'Dazzy Dancing' -a bouncy cut-up of Dazz's B-Boy/B-Girl-friendly disco classic 'Brick' - are also top-notch.

Review: Having previously plied his wares on XXXY's disco-house-championing Sour Edits imprint, A/P transfers to another similarly minded imprint, Pomme Frite. The headline attraction of this first EP for the fried-food loving editors is arguably title track "You", a Soundstream style disco-house loop jam made in cahoots with fellow producer Husko. It rises in falls in all the right places, striking a fine balance between locked-in loops and extended sections of summery disco samples. If you're looking for something altogether sweatier, we'd recommend he breathless cut-up disco-house hedonism of "Terrace Fever", which is subsequently beefed up even more on Dance System's weighty "World Cup Mix".

Review: More disco house slammers from London's Tom Jay, who has previously appeared on Axe On Wax, Sour Edits, Sterns Music, Esuoh and Inhale:Exhale. This new one is for Alex Virgo's Pomme Frite imprint. Features the late '90s funky house vibe of "Thief'' complete with roaring diva vocals that calls to mind classic Defected and Soul:furic sounds of old, while Tilman gets on the remix to make it rougher, deeper and dustier. Second original offering comes in the form of "Let Go '' - a proper disco inferno that's made for getting down, complete with sleazy guitar licks, conga polyrhythms and a sick horns section. All you need right here!
