Review: This collection showcases work from a number of new producers who deserve kudos. As label owner Patrick Topping astutely observes, each track is of such a high quality that they could have featured as standalone releases. There's the insistent vocal house of Matrefakt's "Turn It Up", while Testpress' "Heeltoe" represents a harder sound, with a focus on dramatic stabs and a driving, percussive rhythm. The compilation also spotlights less expected styles. Pablo Says' "I Wanna See" resounds to a menacing bass and snappy percussion, with these elements providing the backdrop for an infectious, filtered vocal. And if you're on the hunt for a deliciously tripped out slice of deep house, look no further than Hyyken's "Acid Riddim".
Review: Having released on Alan Fitzpatrick's We Are The Brave, Eli Brown now turns his attention to this three-tracker for Trick. The title track revolves around pounding, concrete weight kicks, which provide the basis for looped rave stabs and deft, filtered builds. "Welcome to My House" sees Brown take inspiration from grainy Berghain techno, as menacing chords and a ponderous vocal sample swoop in over a booming rhythm and razor-sharp percussive licks. "Don't Think Much" is different again: powered by a pulsating groove and a gurgling acid line, it also features a series of snare-led crescendos and a mesmerising vocal contribution from Talk Show that will push the track to a mainstream audience.
