Review: Columbian producer Ciclo returns to Snatch! with three stonking club cuts in a fairly 'traditional' house vein (and that's definitely not a complaint, BTW). Opener 'From The Roots' tops a solid rolling backbeat and M1-ish organ parps with the acapella of Kings Of Tomorrow's 'So Alive' (as also sampled by Kanye West for 'Low Lights'). The slightly pacier 'House Of Gang' is a rollicking little disco-houser with an energy-infusing walking bassline, almost Wild Pitch-y stabs and a full female vocal, while finally 'It's Haaaat' itself is a chunkier affair with a cut-up, Sneak-y kinda feel. Three very solid bullets for your Saturday night disco machine gun!

Review: St David's previous EP on Snatch!, 2023's Hardgrooves EP, drew great inspiration from muscular, sub-heavy house jams from the late 1990s - the kind of sweat-soaked fare that recalled the pioneering sets of Tony De Vit and the contemporaneous work of New York and Miami's tribal house set. This sequel is similarly minded but dustier, deeper and darker, coming on like a tribute to Sound Factory era Junior Vasquez and Deep Dish's works on Tribal America. Check first 'Essence of House', where a female spoken word vocal musing on house history rises above thumping house beats, mind-mangling bass, trippy effects and starry synth sounds. St David bumps up the bass and tribal house flavours on 'Work The Club', a surging and body-shaking affair that sounds like a peak-time anthem in the making.

Review: Straddling any theoretical house and garage divide, The Checkup's distinctive brand of dancefloor medicine has found a home on such respected labels as Large, Simma Black, Beef, Champion and Snatch!, and here he returns to the latter with three more very welcome doses. 'Let's Talk' tops a bumpin' garage beat and Jersey-esque piano stabs with a familiar-sounding spoken female vocal, 'Keep On Rockin' is a deep 'n' groovy house roller with chords to die for and diva vox, while finally 'Get Movin' has a rougher-edged, Madhouse-esque feel and more full-lunged female vocal action. If vintage NY/NJ house and garage are what floats your boat, this EP's an absolute must.

Review: Riva Starr's label comes good with another fine split release. With a focus on minimal house, Volume 2 has enough range and diversity to keep even the most discerning DJ engaged. Sebastian Xottelo's "Trick Trick" integrates creaking percussion and crackling electronic riffs into its rolling rhythm. Chicago influences bubble to the surface on Fabio Ferro's "I Have Some". Led by an insistent groove and peppered with disco samples and organ stabs, it's redolent of classic DJ Sneak. And for those who like minimal with dubbed out influences, the walking bass and trippy vocals of Diego Cardarelli's "Organ Jordan" is the track of choice on this EP.

Review: Milan native Fabio Vela comes to Riva Starr's Snatch! Imprint with some very solid tuff, eyes-down grooves. In its Original form, 'A Long Journey' is a chugging, bottom-heavy tech-houser with a distinctive spoken "in a few moments, you will have an experience that will feel completely real" vocal. UK techno legend Mark Broom then steps ups with a brace of remixes, his Tribe Remix ramping up the BPM considerably and taking the track onto darker, more energetic floors while his Remix stays closer to the spirit of the original but adds a healthy dose of acid and some fine Detroitian keys.

Review: Orlando Voorn is a true don: when he speaks, house dancefloors listen, and these three new cuts are merely the latest proof. 'Da Learning' itself is a dense, shuffly affair that takes quite an old-school approach in its use of cut-up vocal loops (and indeed loops generally). S'good, but the other two are even better: 'Fun' is big, bouncy and strutty, marrying two very familiar vocal samples to some seriously squelchy bottom end, while 'Hypnotized' proves that you can go a long way with a Belgian techno bassline and a Loose Joints vocal bite even if it IS now 2023, not 1991! Dancing will most definitely ensue.

Review: Glasgow lad Tiptoes pulls a couple of crackers out of the hat for this latest offering on Riva Starr's Snatch!. 'Hi On Ya Luv' itself brings the mid-90s garage flava: if you'd told me this came out on Nice N' Ripe in 1995 (or maybe even Nervous in 1992) I'd totally have believed you, and as such it's an essential purchase for all those keeping the garage fires burning. The accompanying 'How Low Can You Go', meanwhile, treads a more funk/soul-oriented path with sampled jazz horns, a relentlessly pounding backbeat and a male voice asking "How low can you go?", and will inject energy into any floor.

Review: Frank Heinrich has been releasing music as Reboot for 16 years, notching up releases on such admired imprints as Cocoon, Get Physical, Cadenza, Circus and, most recently, Cecile Recordings. Here he delivers his first missive of 2023 via a Snatch! Raw label debut. He begins in forthright, peak-time ready style via the continual tease, build and release brilliance of 'Silk', where classic vocal snippets, moody loops and fizzing effects rise above a deep, weighty bassline and restless house beats. He flips the script on 'Jus Dance', a similarly sub-heavy shuffle through 21st century beatbox electro with a subtle tech-house twist, before opting for a DJ Sneak-influenced bumping deep house sound on sweat-soaked closing cut 'Feel'.

Review: Riva Starr and Mark Broom are both huge names in their respective scenes, but put them together and they've got real Star potential. Star B potential that is, the name of their collaborative project which debuted in 2020 returns with an incendiary fusion of house, disco and techno! Pumping up two recognisable dance classics for today's Ibiza inspired dancefloor - "Fire" looks to early-2000s Hed Kandi compilation gold, with "Gotta Have You" full of '70s disco flex and modern day techno heat. Hi-hats for days.

Review: Although he still makes occasional outings on larger independent labels - think Hot Creations, Crosstown Rebels, Dirtybird and Defected's DFTD offshoot - Riva Starr saves most of his most colossal cuts for the Snatch label he set up at the dawn of the last decade. Predictably, the two tracks showcased on his latest single for his label are typically big, bold and peak-time ready. He hits the ground running with 'Find Your Strenth in the Sound', where tight acid lines, horn samples and warehouse-ready riffs ride a deep, booming bassline and tough-as-teak drums. He moves further towards a revivalist, Derrick Carter-friendly "boompty" house sound on 'I Want You To', a deeper and hazier but no less weighty early morning workout that comes complete with impassioned spoken word snippets and restless percussion fills.

Review: Snatch! loves to showcase new talents, it always did and will always do. Now label chief Riva Starr presents the first edition of SNATCH! Playground, a new series of EPs that do exactly that. There's tough rolling tech house for the main room by Fourth Phase on "Dancin Like We Never", while Stefano Kosa provides stompin' and swing-fuelled business on "Systematic", Davide T caters to the heads-down moments on "Classic Breakdown" and La Madone's druggy "Bounce" goes strictly rhythmic.

Review: There's been a bit of talk in the media of late about a "hardgroove" revival, meaning that blistering and brain-melting take on techno popular in the late 1990s. The "hardgrooves" showcased on this EP from rising star Davide Disanto are not acid-fired techno tracks, but rather funky-but-stomping house jams that recall mid-90s hard house (think Trade rather than Tidy Trax) and the breathless brilliance of Junior Vasquez's Sound Factory era productions. Our pick of the bunch is the piano-laden, sub-heavy weight of 'Do Me (Peak Time Hour Mix)', which makes great use of sampled and snipped diva vocal snippets, but there's plenty to get the blood pumping elsewhere on the EP. 'Bonuz Beez' is a thunderous, acid-fired drum jam, while 'Feel Da Groove' is hard-wired house-funk for dark rooms and sweat-soaked warehouses.

Review: Label head honcho Riva Starr has tapped an all-star cast for the latest release on Snatch! All have the honour of remixing Josh Butler & Illyus & Barrientos' dancefloor smash from last year "Mic Rock" - and they do not at all disappoint. First up is San Diego's Harvard Bass who serves up a jacking and grooving rendition in his typically bass driven style, while Amsterdam's Mike Scot brings that main room tech house sound with pure style. Finally, Glasgow's Tiptoes delivers a re-rub that's aimed squarely at the peak time dancefloor and sure to up the energy levels.

Review: Mark Broom and Riva Starr's recent two-tracker as Star B, 'House Sound', has been given the remix treatment. The results are predictably impressive. To kick things off, Rob and Lyric Hood don their popular Floorplan alias to re-make 'House Sound', brilliantly re-imagining it as a dense, intense, mind-altering techno workout that makes merry with pulsating, restless bass, whistle sounds, delay-laden percussion hits and big piano riffs. It's followed by two takes on 'House Massive' featuring MC GQ: a bouncy, Inner City-inspired, warehouse-ready affair courtesy of Johannes Albert and a booming, breathless, tribal techno style tweak by Gaetano Paraiso of SouthSoul.
