Review: Two right legends team up for the next killer out on VIVa Music: label head honcho Steve Lawler and the legendary american producer Arthur Baker. The latter is one of the most renowned producers and remixers, whose talents have benefited the likes of New Order, Afrika Bambaataa and Pet Shop Boys among many others. In recent times he's collaborated with Rennie Pilgrim, Vanilla Ace and former Bronski Beat singer Jimmy Somerville for a release on Defected. "Into The Groove" is a sweltering tribal house workout and perfect to get into the zone past 3AM and is reminiscent of Lawler's seminal sound that he brought from NYC to the UK at the turn of the millenium. It's jam packed with a bunch of wicked remixes too: our favourites came in the form of Amine Edge & DANCE's exhilarating acid house makeover and Jansons' low slung disco house rendition.

Review: Fresh from the success of singles on Relief Records and Elrow Music, Camelphat join forces with fellow London dance music veterans Audio Bullys for a potent outing on Steve Lawler's VIVa Music label. The growling and fuzzy original version, a heavily electronic and atmospheric outing blessed with the Audio Bullys trademark half spoken/half sung vocal, is supplemented by a dizzying array of big name remixes. Steve Lawler leads the line with a sweaty, low-slung and muscular take that makes great use of wobbly sub-bass and jacking machine drums, before Skream reaches for the Brazilian carnival drums on a heavy but melodious rework. MK, meanwhile, eschews the choppy vocal samples and bumping beats he's famous for, instead delivering vocal and dub mixes inspired by woozy deep house.

Review: Since its inception, Steve Lawlor's Viva Music label, has played host to a ridiculous amount of top names on their way to the top. Now to celebrate the label's tenth birthday, Lawlor's amassed a selection of exclusive cuts from some of the biggest and best acts from his roster. Groove Armada are first, submitting the intricate tech-house bomb "Free At Last", with Phil Weeks following up with the boogie-lead "Come On Baby". Beyond that Harvard Bass submits the minimal animal "Peep Game" and Junior Sanchez drops the mesmerising glitchy attack "Which Way To Go". Can't wait for part two!

Review: Emerging star out of Leeds Denney is still hot from recent releases for Hot Creations and Poker Flat and now makes his debut on the legendary Steve Lawler's Viva Music with some slinky tech house grooves set to explode on the island or any or other beach party for that matter! "On & On" features a tight rhythm beneath a bouncy, razor sharp bassline and powerful diva vocals; ticks all the right boxes. The "Monday Club Mix" gets a bit more on the late night tech house tip; a bit darker and sleazier. The legendary Justin Robertson of Lionrock fame lends his hand on a deft remix; the "Deadstock 33s Remix" is a bleepy minimal groove with a resonating, hands in the air melody that sounds somewhere between Marc Houle and Will Clarke. Finally "This Is Music" is a grinding, squelchy 303 acid stormer that even still manages to squeeze in some diva vocals; mental! The Waifs & Strays remix takes the acid into deeper and darker territory with another rolling late night groove that'd appeal to fans of Gruuv or Saved.

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.
