Review: Confusingly, Manuel Darquart is not a single producer, but rather a duo comprised of future deep house heroes Louis Anderson-Rich and Sean Whittaker. Here they deliver their highest profile release to date, a stunningly positive and life-affirming collection of cuts on Wolf Music Recordings. The meat of the EP is a trio of tasty tracks that draw direct inspiration from the fluid, colourful, tactile and melodious sound of turn-of-the-90s Italian dream house. Our pick is Don Carlos-esque opener 'Keep It Dxy', though the more Balearic 'Miranda' and bubbly 'Parkour' are not far behind. The EP also boasts a fine bonus in the shape of Medlar's extra-percussive 'Timbales Dub Mix' of 'Parkour', a more intense but no less huggable interpretation tailor-made for peak-time dancefloors.

Review: Having already unleashed a killer full-length excursion, "Earth Tones", earlier in the year, it would be fair to say that former 1080p and Public Release duo Earth Boys are in the musical form of their lives. There's certainly plenty of high-quality fare to be found on this surprise mini album for Wolf Music. Check first the tipsy sub-bass, Latin house percussion and ultra-dreamy chords of "Piff Party", before admiring the breakbeat-fuelled, loved-up house of "LSD", and the Larry Heard style deep house beauty of "Love Yourself". "Upstate" is a slightly sweaty chunk of analogue deep house haziness, while "A Deal With The Devil" is tough, late-'90s US garage groover. Fittingly, closing cut "Earth Song" is pleasingly woozy, dreamy and tactile: a sunrise-ready excursion that lingers long in the memory.

Review: Those with a good knowledge of dance music might expect this EP to come from Julio Bashmore and Dave Hyetal's occasional Velour project; in fact, this Velour is an Essen-based jazz four-piece helmed by producer (and Wolf Music regular) Mr Fries. In its' original form, "Pose" is a jaunty and memorable number that sits somewhere between traditional vocal jazz and fizzing, electric piano-fired jazz-funk. Mr Fries' accompanying remix drags the track further towards dancefloors, successfully re-imagining it as the kind of bluesy jazz-house number that wouldn't have sounded out of place on St German's "Boulevard" and "Tourist" albums. If you listen attentively, you'll also hear a few nods towards the jazzier end of the disco spectrum, too.

Review: In 2019 Marina Trench impressed with a two-part debut single on Deeply Rooted. Wolf Music debut the "Waterside EP" marks her first single since and is every bit as alluring as its predecessor. The French producer aims for peak-time perfection on opener "Waterside", wrapping heady female vocal samples and fizzing electronics around a killer techno-funk groove, before slipping into classic deep house mode on the warm, groovy and piano-laden "Get In". You'll find even more bright and breezy piano motifs on tactile, retro-futurist house jam "Train Call", while closing cut "Straight" offers an even warmer, dreamier and more fluid take on turn-of-the-millennium American deep house.

Review: Since making her debut two years ago, Lea Lisa has delivered a handful of quietly impressive EPs full of on-point deep house workouts. Here the French producer makes her Wolf Music label debut with what could be her strongest outing yet. "Something For The Dancers" is a deliciously melodious saunter through warm, heavily electronic deep house pastures rich in ear-catching motifs and eyes-closed piano solos, while "From Garage" sees her expertly joining the dots between rubbery nu-disco and late 80s, New York style garage-house. The accompanying remixes of "Something For The Dancers" are superb, too, with Kerri Chandler's bustling, near-perfect take on "dark" remix (which, of course, isn't dark at all but rather warm and immersive) just edging out the more hypnotic and synthetic Black Tone "reshape".

Review: If a week is a long time in politics, then a decade is the equivalent of a lifetime in dance music terms. It's for this reason that so many labels are keen to mark their tenth birthday with a special release, just as Wolf Music - one of the UK's most reliable deep house imprints of recent times - has done here. Instead of opting for all new material, the imprint has decided to gather together some of their favourite "Wolf slammers" - cuts that have always done the business on the dancefloor. There's naturally plenty to set the pulse racing throughout, from the loopy R&B/disco/deep house fusion of Fantastic Man's "Look This Way" and the fabulously analogue Chicago retro-futurism of KRL's "Nothing You Can Teach Me", to the sample-heavy, riff-happy bounce of Red Rack'em's "Do Or Die" and the bass-heavy stomp of K98's warehouse-ready revision of Thrilogy's "Heaven".

Review: Having spent much of the last few years working alongside pal Glenn Astro, Hodini re-boots his solo career via a first appearance on Wolf Music Recordings for two years. He begins in typically smooth, hazy and groovy mode via the jazz-sampling deep house bounce of "Velved Groove", before getting busy with his MPC on the hybrid deep house/R&B/hip-hop flex of bumpin' number "Special Shoutout". Hulkhodn lends a hand on the head-nodding hip-hop beats of "Doggo Content", while "Where's The Wine" is a bassline-driven chunk of stripped-back deep house par excellence. Closing cut "One4fries", a more percussive and forthright jazz-house cut, may well be the strongest moment on an undeniably brilliant EP.

Review: Wolf Music's latest offering sees label regular Mr Fries join forces with Mike Kandinsky, an up and coming producer based in the Northern Rhine city of Aachen. The result is a warm, loose and atmospheric EP that effortlessly flits between jazzy and hazy instrumental interludes (see "Intro", "Fallingasleep" and the blunted hip-hop beats of "Junkfoodmusic (Part 2)") and loose, languid and groovy club jams rooted in jazz-fired deep house. In the latter category you'll find the ultra-warm grooves, bluesy trumpet solos and eyes-closed Rhodes solos of "Strolling Around", the Marvin Gaye sampling late night smokiness of "Downhere" (a kind of contemporary update of the jazz-house sound explored on St Germain's "Boulevard" LP) and the driving, dub-disco informed deep house throb of "Stranger". In a word: superb.

Review: MPC loving deep house don LB aka Labat rarely gets it wrong, as his previous releases on D.KO, Magic Black, Robsoul Jazz and Wolf Music prove. Predictably, he's in fine form here, too, flitting between the lilting strings and fuzzy analogue grooves of "Scanner", the loved-up deep house dustiness of "Track One" and the saucer-eyed warmth of "Dirty Walk", where distorted Fender Rhodes motifs work away jazzily over a loose and languid dancefloor groove. Those after something undeniably sun-kissed and sunset-friendly should check "Shut The World Down For a Moment", a typically blazed and seductive chunk of languid MPC-house.

Review: Having partied hard to celebrate notching up 50 releases, the Wolf Music crew is not letting the grass grow under their feet. They've already served up missive number 51, a single-track salvo from label regular Frits Wentink that has apparently been gathering dust in the producer's archive since 2014. "Frogs, Toads and Newts" is typical of the Amsterdam producer's work. Based around a dusty, slipped deep house groove blessed with swinging, MPC style drums, heavy sub bass and rubbery double bass samples, the cut's power is partially down to Wentink's canny use of echoing R&B vocal samples and suitably woozy, minor key chords. It's a bit like S3A covering Mark E's "R&B Drunkie", which in our eyes at least is a very good thing indeed.

Review: Fittingly, Wolf Music's 50th release comes courtesy of longtime label artist Medlar. There's naturally much to admire throughout, from the jaunty, sub-heavy bounce of opener "Novanta" - where a nagging, one-note synth hook careers around above elastic drums - to the jammed-out vintage synth lines, swirling nu-disco electronics and chunky, non-stop beats of similarly giddy closing cut "Monday Boy". In between, you'll find the deliciously odd and out there percussion workout "Pampas Drums", whose effects are undeniably mind-altering, and the breezy tropical house cheeriness of sun-kissed house stepper "Paloma". In summary: a pleasingly charming affair that ranks as one of Medlar's most loose, effervescent and off-kilter EPs.

Review: It appears that contemporary DJs and label owners are finally twigging that BRS made some killer deep house in the early 2000s. Here, Wolf Music serves up a freshly remastered reissue of 2003 EP "Spring Dom", which follows hot on the heels of Situationism's new edition of outstanding 2000 cut "Lovin' Me". It remains a superb collection of cuts, with the bumpin' UK garage-influenced/San Francisco deep house fusion of "Clubtronic" and the more analogue-rich "Miss You" being joined by the wonderful dub house/piano house/boogie fusion of title track "Spring Dom". This time round, there's also a fresh remix of the latter cut, with Wolf Music regular Medlar re-casting it as an all-action chunk of boogie and electro-tinged proto-house goodness.

Review: Wolf Music - London purveyors of the real proper deep stuff - deliver on the same underground quality once again, in the form of this nifty little EP by Frits Wentink: one of Holland's finest. The final in a three-part series, the Bobby Donny boss continues to showcase his distinct style of lo-fi, wonky house - both quirky and unconventional, yet instantly endearing in the same breath. From the late night swing-fuelled groove of "Theme 09" to the slo-mo boogie down vibe of "Theme 11" (a tribute of sorts perhaps to Morgan Geist's neon-lit aesthetic) to just the same good ol' loopy jams you've come to expect like "Theme 12" that are jam packed with Wentink's usual dancefloor dynamics - dusted down, lo-slung and well bowled!

Review: Dortmund based producer Mr. Fries returns to Wolf Music for his third outing for the London label, with yet more sample heavy/MPC saturated cuts that follows up a terrific EP on Philpot. WOLFEP 045 opens with the sexy late night mood lighting of "Nocturnal" with its creamy Rhodes melody and dusty drums, the funky "Work" and its bass driven/Moodymann influenced groove, and the sunny open-air deepness of "Getright" which you could imagine hearing at a outdoor party on a summer Sunday in Berlin. Speaking of which, the fine EP closes out in blissed-out style with the very Money $ex/Tartelet sounding urban blues of "Thesimplethings" nailing that deep sound of the German capital.

Review: Having previously plied their trade on ManMakeMusic, Christian Piers and Leon Vynehall have been persuaded to bring their Laszlo Dancehall project to Wolf Music. Happily, this first collaborative effort since the tail end of 2013 is every bit as essential as its' three predecessors. They begin with the baggy deep house grooves, stretched-out chords and bustling bass of the hypnotic "Tide In", before adding booming sub-bass and twinkling keys to the jazzy, Andres style swing of "Channel". "Pelagos" is a little bolder percussively, but still revolves around organic, jammed-out keys (not to mention some subtle disco drum samples), while "Tide Out" offers a thrilling, everything-but-the-kitchen sink take on the EP's opening track.

Review: The story of how this record on Wolf Music came to be is a shining beacon of how the underground works at its finest. Booked to play Dortmund venue Oma Doris last year, the Wolf lads were handed a CD of demos from young resident DJ Mr Fries which had them very impressed. Soon after label and artist shook hands, and now Mr Fries becomes Wolf Music's Dortmund correspondent with this blissful 5 track EP. The young German is a fine fit for the Wolf cause, brandishing a deep take on house that's got just the right amount of dust and plenty of soul in the samples used. We'd wager Mr Fries was signed up on the strength of lead track "Get Together" alone! Money $ex Records alumnus Hodini and long-time Wolf affiliate Garth BE provide extra sweetness on remix duties.

Review: KRL's latest release - his first since 2013, coincidentally - is not so much an EP as a mini-album. Featuring a trio of hazy, quick fix interludes and a quartet of dancefloor-friendly house jams, WOLFEP032 sees the Wolf Music regular in fine form. "Manchester Beat" is a loose, oven-fresh groover built around looped, warehouse-friendly riffs, Lone style electronics and cut-up hip-hop vocal samples, while "You Roll Me" continues the late night, old skool vibe by way of gospel vocal snatches, bold chords and Balearic synthesizer flourishes. KRL joins forces with vocalist Janine Small on the tactile, groovy and luscious "So Far", but it's the retro-futurist pianos and classic US garage bump of "Tell Me Why" that really steals the show.

Review: Wolf Music continues to evolve as a label, with recent releases showcasing a much more mature, dustier and quietly soulful feel than some of their earlier outings. Certainly, there was a smoky, jazz-flecked vibe to Medlar's recent 12", and this EP from regular contributor Frits Wentink is suitably fuzzy, glitchy and groovy. Opener "Blaise Montoya" sets the tone, with watery riffs, grainy jazz samples and bluesy vocal samples riding an undulating, US-garage influenced groove. There's a similar, if chunkier, feel to "Hummel", while "Etna Devine" goes further into left-of-centre, jazz-influenced deep house territory. Like the EP's other tracks, it feels a little more inventive and out-there than your average deep house jam.

Review: Current darlings of the deep house Wolf Music continue on with what they do best on these three reliable dancefloor fillers courtesy of Bristol's Thrilogy. First up "Heaven" and its uplifting piano roll complete with jazz vocals and a pumping swing fuelled beat does the business quite well. Next we've got "Hold Me In Your Arms" which takes things deeper, with sultry female backing vocals and rolling bassline.. But the uplifting piano roll remains; don't worry! Lastly the K 98 remix of "heaven" injects some serious stomp and tempo into the track that tears through the speakers with its hard house intensity.
