Review: Five years on from the release of his fourth album as The Revenge, Graeme Clark drops a fully remixed version, with a variety of friends and contemporaries putting their spin on his thickset, hypnotic house cuts. There's plenty to set the pulse racing throughout, from the elastic synth-bass and Charles Webster style early morning house deepness of Somethin' Sanctified's version of 'Distant Signal' and the Metro Area-esque flex of Dicky Trisco's rub of 'A Dream Of Some Substance', to the acid-flecked bounce of Fish Go Deep's take on 'Distant Signal', Max Ruskin's bombastic, bass-heavy bounce through 'Voodoo Cocktail', and Luca Musto's sub-heavy, beatdown-influenced revision of the same track. High quality deep house cuts refreshed with style and panache; what's not to like?

Review: Graeme Clark has spent much of 2014 building up his Roar Groove label, dropping excellent 12" singles from some of his Glaswegian pals. Here, he finally returns to the imprint with his first single of the year, featuring three different flavours to enjoy. "Incredible Shellsuit" is one of his most picturesque and expansive productions to date, with decidedly Balearic, rush-inducing synthesizer lines wrapping their way around a loose, analogue-rich '80s house groove. "Loss Angeles Times" is denser and more intense, with foreboding chords and heavy, African-influenced tribal percussion. Finally, "Vorderman" keeps up the African theme, sounding like an unheard Auntie Flo production - all heavy percussion, nagging rave stabs and wild electronics.

Review: Two of Glasgow's finest operatives collide once again for four fine excursions into the deepest realms of groove-heavy dancefloor science. We ignite with the cosmos-shattering synth textures of "Theme From Easy Aces" before adventuring into the loop heavy psychedelia of "Bellshill Rendezvous" and the beat-driven contemporary acid house cut "Clown Prosecution Service". "Grouse House", meanwhile, completes with set with snub-nosed, sub-laced jacking naughtiness. Ultimately distinctive, this impeccable collection manages to hurtle you into deep space before bringing you back to reality with a rambunctious bump... Let's hope they don't leave it another four years before the next EP.

Review: Craig Smith and Graeme Clark have gathered together an impressive crew of producers to remix tracks from last year's 10th anniversary full-length, "Find Your Rhythm". Perhaps the most high profile of the lot, Alexander Lay-Far, provides the most stunning of the five included revisions, delivering a punchy, breakbeat-driven version of "Back Where It All Began" rich in fluttering synths, cut-up samples and subtle nods to disco and deep house. Also tickling our fancy is Afrobad's jaunty, polyrhythmic take on "Find Your Rhythm" and Deep Space Orchestra's sub-heavy, intergalactic revision of "One Way Out", which comes accompanied by lots of subtle nods towards bleep-era UK techno. To complete a brilliant package, both Matthias Schober and Jad Lee (as Jad & The) serve up wonderfully deep, floor-ready revisions.

Review: For this second set of remixes of tracks from their tenth anniversary album "Find Your Rhythm", 6th Borough Project have roped in some of their closest musical pals to provide sparkling new revisions. Predictably, all and sundry do a fine job. OOOFT! leads the way with a woozy, spacey and impeccably constructed "Deep Mix" of "Bad News", while Frederick delivers two tasty revisions of "Right Next Time", of which the driving, percussive and spaced out "Elegant Remix" is our pick. Elsewhere, Deep Space Orchestra's luscious rework of the same track is a loved-up, slow-building intergalactic treat, while the Haku Dub of "Release" is a bouncy and bounding workout rich in Red Zone style riffs and squelchy acid lines.

Review: According to the man himself, Graeme Clark's latest long player as the Revenge - his first since 2016 - is "the sound of a producer reaching maturity". While that makes it sound like Clark is ready to don a pair of slippers and craft needlessly noodly ultra-deep house numbers, When The Thrill Comes is actually full to bursting with high quality, analogue-rich peak-time bumpers. Highlights include the throbbing, delay-laden basement grooves and clandestine atmosphere of "Nasehorn", the dense broken house beats and lo-fi melodies of superb album opener "Top Buzz" and the sweet, saucer-eyed synthesizer motifs and Metro Area drums of "Another Illusion". Check, too, the epic title track, which sounds like slowly building, Innervisions-esque deep house/tech-house fusion after a fistful of happy pills.

Review: Three years on from their last full-length excursion - the fine Borough 2 Borough on Delusions of Grandeur - Craig Smith and The Revenge return with their third 6th Borough Project album. Predictably, it's a fine set, with the duo tweaking their now familiar blueprint - think sample heavy, Balearic-minded deep house built around killer grooves and impeccable production - to guarantee a slightly more eclectic listening experience. So, while there are moments of locked-in dancefloor hypnotism - see "The Weight" and acid-gospel thump of "Tainted Dub" - they're accompanied by trips into wide-eyed, loved-up two-step territory (brilliant closer "Back Where It All Began"), seductive, synth-heavy dreaminess (Paul Joseph hook-up "Find Your Rhythm"), intoxicating downtempo chuggers ("Someday"), and much more besides.

Review: We all know that Glasgow's Graeme Clark was there from the very beginning of this nu-disco trend, which is now more popular than ever. He is still pumping out some truly wicked jams and this new one entitled "Intimate Connection" on his own Roar Groove imprint is testament to this. For the most part these are pretty functional edits and tools for DJ use, some of them being live edits taken from his Love Will Not Die album tour. Standouts include the dust covered deep house dreaminess of "New Nation" or "Love Will Never Die", the feel-good boogie jam "Isle Of Lucy" and the rusty and vintage b-boy electro jam "Just One Touch".

Review: Graeme "The Revenge" Clark has come a long way since his first full length, the 2011 re-edits meets original production set Reekin'structions. He's spent the last few years moving away from that style, instead focusing on indulging his passion for making original house productions, most of which have come out on his Roar Groove imprint. Here he continues that process with Love That Will Not Die, an all-action house set that should be classed as his debut album proper. Informed by various strains of classic house - Morales' Red Zone dubs, feel good Italian house, US deep house and more Balearic offerings - it's a typically evocative and intoxicating set, with tactile melodies, vintage sounds and shuffling drum machine rhythms throughout.

Review: By launching his own label, Roar Groove, The Revenge has given himself the opportunity to go off in a multitude of different directions. Here, he grasps that opportunity with both hands, delivering a quicky, offbeat four-tracker that contains his best work to date. "Oot Yer Nut", a raw, uncompromising drum machine jam in the Chicago style, is probably the most startling of the quartet, but the touchy-feely "MDMF" - all yearning harmonies, hissing percussion and intoxicating melodies - is arguably better. The real standout, though, is opener "Close Encounters of the Casual Kind". Slowed down to a walking tempo, its sumptuous, wide-eyed deep house groove is complimented by some lovingly Balearic pianos.

Review: Amazingly, the last original material from Graeme Clark (as the Revenge, at least) dropped back in 2010. Here, he offers up a new label and some new sounds. While there are hints at his loopy, hypnotic, ultra compressed past (most notably on the late night drum track "MWI"), there's far more swing and a broader range of influences than we've come to expect from the popular Glaswegian. Impressive loose opener "Wreck My Love", for example, doffs a cap to Italo-disco and early NYC deep house, while "The Joy" bases the action around Lamont Booker-style, new age house melodies. "Lost Properly", meanwhile, canters off on a woozy, proto-house tip - think deep electrofunk meets early Chicago, via the Paradise Garage.
