Review: New York veteran Junior Sanchez is back! Over the last few decades, he has built himself a solid reputation as a DJ and producer with releases on the likes of Nervous, Robsoul and his own Brobot Recordings. His latest release comes courtesy of Shadow Child and Kry Wolf's London based Food Music . Featuring the dirty late night swing of "Brain Game" (extended mix) , the tough rolling jack of "Nasty Gruve" (extended mix) (which also receives an energetic rework by Mak & Pasteman) and the main room peak time bounce of "Shine Through The Dark" (extended mix) which will appeal to all the Gruuv and Saved fans out there.
Review: The Poker Flat filter sifts through its immense catalogue to pull up a fresh new 'best of' chapter. Tracks come Boris Dlugosch, Marco Resmann and Steve Bug to Vince Watson, TJ Kong and Alex Niggemann all deliver the goods, be burning italo basslines, techier dub techno and 80s synth to percussive melodies and other minimal actions. Simon Garcia goes deeper into tripper arpeggio mode with "Cavern" while the words of Theo Parrish feature in the Juno-106 house sounds of "Lectures". Get some extended minimal players from Mihai Popoviciu in "Call Me", with Detroit and Chichagoan sounds further permeating the compilation in "My Side". Dope.
Review: Barcelona-based house label Justified Cause has quietly been building a reputation since way back in 2004. Over the years, they've released some excellent material that's been supported by some of the finest DJs on the scene. For proof, check this expansive 'best of' compilation. Beginning with the tune that started it all - GarcyNoise's deep but energetic "Boomshaka" - The Best Of Justified Cause slowly works through a variety of smart house and techno flavours. There's Iberican sweatiness (Junior Lopez), acid-goes-Balearic (Dual Concept), big room hip-house (DJ Ino), seductive deepness (Korper & Seele), Detroit revivalism (Diode), straight-up clubby deep house (Pablo Bolivar), and much more besides.
Review: Alongside the likes of yourself, you can bet that Mark Knight & Co. will be also be a known presence at Amsterdam Dance Event in 2018 and indeed they'll be well prepared with the appropriate tools - as this killer compilation proves. Highlights on this annual edition come from Maceo Plex - whose remix of "Nervous Tics" (feat Holly Walker) by hot British duo Maribou State takes you to the dark side, label chief Knight's massive rework of Sterling Void's eternal anthem "It's Alright" (feat Paris Brightledge) will surely get the hands in the air, as will Adesse Versions' edit of legend Kerri Chandler's "The Boom Can" and many others over the collection's five dozen tracks. To take you through every part of your trip, the album comes complete with three perfectly crafted and perfectly primed mixes.
Review: On 'House Party Vol. 3' the party continues well into autumn with Toolroom's unmistakable blend of killer cuts, red hot exclusives and a host of essential tracks from the industry's leading imprints. Includes a whopping 80 tracks, plus three compiled mixes from current scene favourites such as Kittball co-owners Tube & Berger, Dutch house favourite Rene Amesz, and rising UK talent Iglesias. Highlights not limited to: boss man Mark Knight with the aforementioned Amesz on the funky house anthem "All 4 Love" (feat. Tasty Lopez), Hannah Wants & Eskuche serve up some slick and bouncy electro house on "The ISH", the dream team of Alex Mills, Danny Howard & Illyus & Barrientos delivering a properly soul-infused vocal epic on "Need" (Extended Mix) and the legend ATFC returns with the super sexy "Not Enough" feat. Mia Mendez.
Review: As Sebas Ramis' Sub_Urban Music label gets set to celebrate a decade in deep house, the label's compilation series reaches its eighth 'chapter'. Given the significance of the anniversary, you'd expect the label's latest trawl through its' archive of released and unreleased music to be extra special, and it most certainly is. Rich in rolling, deep, groovy, heart-warming and sun-kissed house sounds, 'Chapter 8' is packed to the rafters with high-grade, club-ready treats. Our picks of a very strong bunch include JT Donaldson's tactile and evocative remix of Ramis's 'High Hopes' (as well as the same remixer's wonderful rework of Dirtytwo's 'Hopeless'), Folamour's deliciously dusty revision of Guri's 'Everything I Do', the rubbery, glassy-eyed loveliness of Sebb Junior's 'Need a Break', and the bouncy brilliance that is 'Endless Luminosity' by Scott Diaz.
