Review: Steve Lawler's label unleashes the second installment of its Warriors series. While the UK DJ is synonymous with his tribal house sound, there is enough variety on this compilation to keep the listener interested. Sante's "That Girl" revolves around heavy drums and a tripped out break down, while Davide Squillace & Guti's "The Other Side Of Hustler" pushes further in that direction, with spooky chants unfolding over a driving groove. Vocals also prevail on the compilation's other highlights: Philip Bader's "Crazy" sees pitched down vocals introduced over deep chords, while Bimas' excellent "Never Say Goodbye" fuses icy synths and a moody male vocal to create a sombre dance floor cut.

Review: By now, you should all know what you're getting from Steve Lawler, namely atmospheric darkroom fare that ebbs and flows with all the fluidity of a tropical snake. "Avaida (The Organ Track)" flips the script slightly, offering a more tactile approach, but the intoxicating atmospheres and long, drawn-out build-ups remain. As the title suggests, "Avaida (The Organ Track)" features plenty of fairground organ, peppering up a typically late night-centric groove. The shorter dub offers a decent alternative, while Miami veterans Murk go crazy on their 12-minute rework. Full of twisted noises, odd electronic stabs and near tribal drums, it's a thrill-a-minute alternative to Lawler's tactile original.

Review: This summer, Steve Lawler is hosting a midweek party at Sankeys Ibiza under the Viva Warriors title. Here, he joins forces with fellow resident Darius Syrossian to lay down a two disc mix set that touches on all of his usual inspirations. That means an atmospheric trawl through nuggety darkroom house, tribal flavours and murky tech-house, with additional helpings of basement-baiting New York deepness and European fluidity. In truth, Viva Warriors is arguably more fun and upbeat than many of Lawler's recent mixes, suggesting a new-found love of reaching out for the lasers and hip-wigglin' groovery. Maybe that's Syrossian's influence; either way, it makes for an enjoyable two-disc mix-up.

Review: Having impressed a wide variety of DJs since first emerging back in 2009, 27 year-old Italian LEON has been snapped up by Steve Lawler's ViVa Music imprint. Here, he delivers his debut album, a well-produced journey that contrasts the Italian's traditional soundscape tech house/deep house style with pop vocals, inventive use of instruments (check out the clarinet on "Cause I'm Lost") and quirky downtempo beats. It's a largely enjoyable set that works as an album, thanks largely to the producer's passion for producing radio-friendly house and electronic pop that's nevertheless rooted in deeper underground styles.
