Review: Oh gosh! Every Welcome To The Jungle collection is a big deal but this latest edition from Euphonique and Dazee is a whole other rain forest. 96 tracks and a mix that weighs in over two hours, this is the sound of two of the most foremost and inspiring Bristol-based DJs going IN in every single direction. Loaded with a great range of classics, exclusives and left-of-centre vibes, highlights across this massive collection include Aries and Euphonique's massive 'Amen', Dazee & Jinx's 'Shake It Up', Sweetpea and Chickaboo's 'The Jump Off' and the recent skat-dancing fire-up 'Skip De Du Dat'. And that's not scratching the surface. This is an epic collection. Essential.
Review: Midnight Riot do their bit to address the much-discussed gender imbalance in dance music with a 25-track collection featuring an almost entirely female line-up (though a few possessors of Y-chromosomes do sneak in as collaborators). With big names like Kathy Brown, DJ Paulette, Rowetta, Caron Wheeler, Sulene Fleming and Natasha Kitty Katt nestling up alongside a host of more up-and-coming artists, the quality standard is high throughout, with the musical emphasis largely on good-time, Saturday night house and disco vibes, though there a few more gently paced moments - notably in the form of covers of Bobby Caldwell's 'What You Won't Do For Love' and Sade's 'Sweetest Taboo' - while Paulette & Massey serve up a pleasing dose of acid on 'Sheroes'.
Review: Lauter Unfug head honchos Pierre Bellion, Alex Heide and Thierry Loesch are having loads of fun since setting up their successful events in Luxembourg. A true enrichment for the electronic music culture in this small country and its much lauded label arm. Six months ago, Beatamines X was released, where Pascal Augner aka Beatamines poured all the experience, excitement, love and passion he cultivated in that decade while touring the world or spending countless hours in his studio and the album. The label did their best to get some of the biggest artists in the scene here, as well as some of their label favourites including David Keno, Wankelmut, Tocadisco and Dapayk - to spice up an already delicious piece of art.
Review: The enigmatic Amadeus label present a tight little remix EP from a number of new mystery figures and a few known names in the deep house game. With a real melting pot of talent in here, it doesn't get much better than this - deranged 4/4 deviations and seductive electronic landscapes make up the entirety of the release but be sure to check Broke One's remix of "In My Life" by Urulu and the Youandewan version of "Being" by Savile.
