French label run by Dj Steaw and Gunnter since 2013 in Paris. It's an ' house music ' identity in different style like deep house, hard house, garage, and many more. There are several releases with artists like Ortella, Lauren Lo Sung ,Franck Roger, Paolo Rocco and Janeret .
Review: Gunnter made his debut on Rutilance Recordings, an imprint he co-founded with Dj Steaw back in 2016, though since then he's only appeared occasionally on the label. In fact, this EP is only his second full outing on the imprint, and his first was released five years ago. It's a genuinely fine EP all told, with Gunnter delivering a combination of fresh ideas and nostalgic, '90s deep house sounds. For proof, check the acid bass-propelled warmth of glassy-eyed opener 'Loose Leaves', the more low-slung and action-packed 'Get Closer', and the mid-90s Strictly Rhythm dubs flex of 'Base Camp'. Elsewhere, 'Smooth' lives up to its name via spacey pads and tactile grooves, while 'Jersey City' doffs a cap to what British DJs of the early 2000s would have called 'trad garage'.
Review: Given that Steawko is a collaboration between two much-loved contemporary deep house heroes, DJ Steaw and Djoko, you'd expect the project's debut outing to be packed to the rafters with high-grade dancefloor treats. It is, of course, with a big helping of classic house nostalgia on the side. Check first the peak-time hedonism of 'Can't Help Myself', where delay-laden diva vocal samples, mid-90s US house stabs and headline-grabbing electronic bass cluster around tough beats, before admiring the dreamy chords, heady organ riffs, bouncy bass and swinging New Jersey beats of 'Route En Tokyo'. Elsewhere, 'Over Your Head' is a thickset slab of warming deep house to get lost in, while 'Just Like' adds hazy, late-night electronic motifs to chunky bass and bustling beats.
Review: Djoko's name on anything will always prick up this reviewer's ears but the German producer - not to be confused with the Netherlands' William Djoko - has excelled himself here! The EP opens with 'Holding On Now', an uptempo old-skool (deep) houser that makes surprisingly effective use of the vocal from Motiv-8's 90s Euro cheese-fest 'Rockin' For Myself'. 'Daylight' keeps up the pace as it marries dreamy, Orb-like synths to fluid, jazzy Rhodes and a phat garage bassline, while 'Step Han' is contemporary-style "garage house" at its most funkified and bumpin', and 'Lesson' takes us into the 3am jackin' zone. Pure dancefloor vibes from start to finish.
