Review: Lorenz Rhode and Dam Swindle's Lars Dale have joined forces to create Sound Support, a brand new collaborative project. Their debut release is a must-have for house music enthusiasts, featuring an impressive collection of peak-time ready tracks that will get you moving. The title track, 'Higher,' seamlessly blends chunky disco-house loops with warm, jazzy-funk flavors, reminiscent of the Sound Stream era. 'Bump Into You' is a stirring disco-house anthem with an epic string arrangement that's just waiting to take center stage. 'Work 2 It' offers a nostalgic, bassline-driven, warehouse-ready track that will transport you back in time. 'The Rock' rounds off the release with a fusion of boogie synths, electro-funk basslines, deep house chords, and rolling drums.
Review: With festivals announced to be well and truly back this summer, we are expecting a heavyweight run of releases from the CruCast team, who seem to have made themselves a festival mainstage act over the course of the last few years. This latest display of dancefloor-ready bass music comes from Mikey B, who kicks off with a wicked vocal-LFO combination on the title track 'Higher', followed by the more niche-inspired bass melodies and stripped back drum arrangements of 'Take Me Somewhere'. Next, we explore some more experimental rhythmic approaches as the lively drum arrangements and scattered LFO's of 'Hold Me' lay the perfect foundation for some more fabulous vocal sampling, before the D&B arrangements and catchy singalongs of 'Never Gonna Give You Up' round us off in style. It's an EP built for the big stages for certain!
Review: T & Sugah are on fire! This Dutch duo is one of the most promising acts on the Liquicity roster and this first release of the year tells us why. Liquid dance floor vibes are the order of the day right from the start after an epic build up and already the summer sounds are pouring in through "Higher". "What Will It Take" on the other hand is the hard-rolling B-side and it's another side to the pair's dancefloor creativity. As a final signoff, LAOS remix "Green Valleys" making it smoother and more beautiful than ever before. Keep your eyes on these guys.
Review: Parisian boogie merchant Dalmasso Romain (aka Lord Funk), loves a good party soundtrack and really knows how to craft one. The Higher EP is his latest missive from the disco frontline and the news is that there's a total firefight on the dancefloor. There's four slices of prime funk here, and our favourites include the bubbly bass squelch of "Let Me Take You Higher", the chromium-plated electro-soul of "Got No Return" and the Gina X rework "I Was Born To Love You".
Review: New from Top Billin', Cincinati's Bawz kills it on this excellent taste of deep and wonked electro madness. Using a sly yet commanding vocal hook from Grandmaster Flash and The Furious Five's "White Lines", Bawz constructs an intense acid-throwback bassline around Percolator-style synth stabs and a Dutch-style beat. While Aussie breaks king Nick Thayer gets busy on the bass for his remix - adding a simply filthy distorted bassline - Moombahton king Edo slows things down and adds some trademark climbing, high-pitched synth squeaks.
