Review: DJ EQ returns to the scene with a highly listenable, super groovy and bass encrusted EP entitled 'Disconext'. EQ's Disconext EP is definitely a 'back to basics' style release with a deep frenchhouse/nu disco aesthetic and obviously tailored for the DJ set. Leading off this stunner is a guaranteed floor filler, named 'Phoenix' which treats us to an unforgettable bassline, haunting melody and an instant classic sound and feeling. REPEAT ON! Following is 'TDK 22' a retro funk style jam with a heady atmosphere, hypnotic vocals and a real stompy bass treatment. After that we hit the title track 'Disconext'! What a throwback jam we have here, peaktime disco madness with a strong nod to the 90's rave vibes in the latter half of the track, an absolute smasher. In the 4th track, 'Orange', DJ EQ drops the tempo and puts us in a bassy, synthy trance of goodness. It's a quaint yet powerful offering with a real doped out feel. Rounding out the end is 'Vibez', a sure fire hit with a super tasty groove, bouncy lead and drum breaks teetering on the garage sound. Just pure love on the ears! Ending the magical EP is 'Pressure' and aptly named at that, for the track oozes 'build up', stacking drum sounds and setting the tone of a frenchhouse style electrogroover. All in all, the Disconext EP is easily one of the best offerings from our man DJ EQ to date. Richness in dynamics, crazy cool textures and pure passion bass grooves are on board in Disconext! Get some =)
Review: Nu-disco scene stalwart DJ EQ returned to action a couple of months back with one of his most robust and quietly impressive EPs to date. There's plenty to enjoy on this swift follow-up, which delivers a perfect balance between celebratory peak-time fare and warm-up ready slo-mo workouts. In the latter category you'll find the languid, sun-kissed synth-boogie goodness of "Oasis", the blissful, instrumental '80s soul seduction of "Chillin" and the "Nights Over Egypt" revisionism of "Siesta". For those looking for sweatier thrills, we'd suggest checking out the dizzying piano solos and thrusting boogie-house thrills of "Endless Summer" and the soothingly slick fusion of blue-eyed soul and disco-house that is "F.Y.L".
Review: Nine months after his last outing, long-serving nu-disco producer DJ EQ returns with an expansive EP on regular home Stardust Records. There's plenty to sink your teeth into amongst the six tracks on offer, with the prolific producer flitting between TB-303-fired psychedelic disco chuggers (title track "Acid Disco"), cheery, sun-flecked disco-house ("Soul '64"), high octane, tooled-up and effects-laden takes of well-loved NYC disco classics (the heavyweight "Jinx"), filter-sporting dancefloor cheeriness (the blue-eyed soul/AOR disco bounce of "Paradise (DSYL)" and Tiger & Woods style boogie-house loop jams ("Recovery Waves" and "Aqua Velvet"). In other words, the EP boasts plenty to excite those who operate in the no-man's-land between house and disco.

Review: Italian electro-house rocker Msystem brings a bucket load of bang to the table with this Acid Disco Freaks EP - channelling the Mothership Connection with his Funkadelic-sampling remix of his own "We Live Forever" leading off a club-ready set of filtered loops and punchy snares, as heard especially on the Djedtronic-esque title tune
