Review: Retromigration makes a triumphant comeback to WOLF Music with Cloudin - six tracks of deep disco tinged house music just like we like it. It follows the artist's debut album Straight Foxin on the label which sees the German producer once again proves his stripes by seamlessly blending dusty samples with original beats, bassline compositions, and PH-fat grooves. Taking it back to the classic disco-driven, pad-powered, and woozy-Rhodes sound from sometime before 2010 - WOLF Music is still your one-stop shop for Retromigration for sure.

Review: Frits Wentink continues his productive partnership with Wolf Music Recordings, one which is now entering its 11th year (an eternity in dance music terms). 'Club Land', the title track from the Dutch producer's first EP of 2024, is a nostalgic and wide-eyed affair, whose sparkling piano riffs, bumpin' house beats, mazy synth solos and rubbery bassline sit somewhere between Frankie Knuckles and MK productions of the mid 1990s. There's also a slightly jazzier and more US garage-influenced 'Alternate Mix' that boasts some rather addictive organ stabs. As the EP progresses, he opts for a deep, dubby and trippy sound on 'Crowd Control', before doffing a cap once more to vintage NYC and NJ deep house on superb closing cut 'Run Run Slow'. One of his best for a while and that's saying something!

Review: Although best known for their driving and druggy tech-house tracks as Peace Division, Justin Drake and Clive Henry also released a slew of deeper and warmer workouts in the late 1990s under the Soul Purpose alias. This rare reissue outing from Wolf Music offers up the best of those cuts, freshly remastered from the original DATs. There's much to admire throughout, from the slowly unfurling wonder of 'Soul Purpose 1 (A)', with its' spacey, dubbed-out riffs and locked-in grooves, and the dreamy, morning-fresh shuffle of the epic 'Soul Purpose 2 (Too)', to the classical, stargazing tech-house/deep house fusion of 'Soul Purpose 3'and the gently jazzy warmth of 'Soul Purpose 4 (Stalis Theme)', with its evolving jazz-funk loops and wide-eyed intent.

Review: UK-based Kiwi duo Manuel Darquart serve up some quality deep house grooves on this new three-track, four-mix EP for London label Wolf Music. 'Jerry's Song' is up first and opens with calypso-style percussion before breaking out into what's effectively a homage to the deeper side of early 90s Italian house: the duo cite labels like Irma and Antima as key inspirations and that influence has never been so apparent! 'Del Soul' itself is a bassier variant on the same theme before Space Ghost gives it a beefed-up makeover with hints of Afro percussion, with 'The Vibe' then playing us out on a slightly mellower, late-night tip.

Review: With the 70th release on WOLF Music, Frits Wentink once again delivers the goods in his unmistakable style, like a refreshing pint of vitamin D on a summer's day. "Remember that Feeling" is a captivating EP featuring three wonky, left-of-center tracks that are as intriguing as they are dance-inducing. "Royale" serves up skippy and seductive garage house with a psychedelic twist, while "Intentions" showcases Frits' sample wizardry with smokey jazz keys and RnB vocal snippets. Closing the EP with "Move Steady," Frits takes us into the late-night basement with off-kilter vibes, a rolling low-end, and UK funky-flavoured percussion. Another Frits Wentink masterpiece that hits the mark.

Review: Fresh from blurring the boundaries between Balearica, soul and deep house in the company of Nathan Haines and Mr Beale ('Sun Circles' on Be Strong Be Free), Gratts joins forces with more talented musicians and vocalists on his first Wolf Music Recordings outing. Brandon Markell Holmes and Leito lend a hand on 'Pretty Lights', a wonderfully warming, musically expansive picturesque chunk of Balearic deep house soul that comes in both full-length and edited variations. 'Polaroids', featuring Tee Amara, is a more upbeat and even more soulful affair, with Gratts smothering a shuffling 128 BPM beat in dreamy pads, sci-fi synths, twinkling pianos and a gorgeous lead vocal. Glen Davis remixes, re-framing the track as a pitched-up, late '80s Chicago deep house gem with added deep space chords.

Review: After releasing a wealth of EPs since making his debut in 2020, Malik Kassim is ready to unleash his first album, 'Straight Foxin', for the constantly inspiring Wolf Music Reordings. Framed as a kind of mixtape, with head-nodding interludes sitting side by side with club cuts, the 14-track set features a wealth of appearances from horn player Mauricesax, as well as collaborations with Bezzix (see the deep dancefloor jazz of 'Be Someone' and the organic deep jazz house of 'New Cribs'), Passion Deez (the skittish, uptempo deep house-goes-ghetto house warmth of 'Kush Love') and 'Nephews' (the deep, Bukem-influenced D&B flex of 'Bad Knees'). Throughout, Kassim offers a near perfect blend of dusty instrumental hip-hop, nu-jazz and the deepest and warmest of house grooves. Recommended!

Review: Footshooter returns for the first time in 2022, and clearly the London-based producer is still feeling the 'afterglow' of his superb sophomore album, 'Southside Hymns'. What's on offer on this seven-track mini-album is rhythmically and stylistically varied, but with a consistent, unifying sound - think retro-futurist synth sounds, colourful lead lines and kaleidoscopic, 1980s style electronics. Highlights are plentiful, from the saucer-eyed 'Bladerunner drops a pill' soundscape that is 'Welcome In', the UK Funky bounce-meets-nu-disco wonder of 'Dojo' and the sun-splashed broken beat business of 'Turning', to the breath-taking beauty and head-nodding beats of 'Angel(s)', and the shuffling, eyes-closed warmth of 'Hold On'.
