Review: It sounds like the title track on this release is an ode to one of Underworld's greatest moments. Over rolling, organic drums, Hemmann lays down what could be a trancier take on the central riff from the well-worn chestnut "Born Slippy". However, it would be unfair to suggest that he is merely revisiting former glories. "You Know" is an irresistibly infectious serving of Cologne trance, its floaty chords combined with lazy, hazy vocals that conjure up images of sunny, stoned days and drinking cider in fields. Finally, "Roundabout" is an acrobatic breakbeat workout with a similarly melodic feeling.

Review: As the days get shorter and the autumn nights chillier, it's nice to have a reminder about the lazy, hazy days of summer. As sun-tinged, cider-fuelled soundtracks go, it doesn't get more tantalising than this release. "Tanger" sets the tone for the EP, its lazy mid-tempo shuffle providing the basis for jazzy Rhodes tinkling and sensuous flute solos. "Action 3" is more stripped back and dance floor-focused thanks to its hissing percussion, but the double bass and his'n'hers vocals lend it a quirky character. "Nend" rounds off the release with a wasted-sounding waif warbling seductively over a live drum loop.

Review: Trancey and skippy melodies can be heard throughout Jesper Ryom's Syvsover EP, kickstarted with the happy melodies of "Viwepoint". Panning synths, wavering bass and Hot Chip-style vocals sound in "It's So", while in "Clock", syncopated rhythms are made danceable thanks to its progressive house style. "Ghostly" adds some jazzy and uplifting elements to the EP, similar to Planet Funk's chart topping "Chase The Sun".

Review: Daniel Müller-Sachs and Andreas Krieste's loose and experimental production style gives their brand of minimal dyed house and techno a deliciously raw and live feel. With the Blue Random EP, the duo known as Taron Trekka deliver their second EP for Freude Am Tanzen in as many years, following the success of 2009's Artys Iisii". "Blue Mountain" sees a deliciously deep yet simple groove layered over with a jazz influenced trumpet, while "Colours" is a smoother and more laid back number, allowing a funk sentiment to infiltrate Trekka's deepest of deep house. "Mr No (Where Is The Magic)" however, is where things really get moving and break away into a wild and untamed monster, with a lovely combination of lightness in the top end and nasty rumbling bass down below.

Review: Given that he occasionally performs D&B sets under the Sterngucker alias, we shouldn't be surprised that Stefan Streck's latest Micronaut missive draws influence from the early days of jungle and UK hardcore. The whole EP is something of a retro-futurist treat, if truth be told. Opener "Earlylate", for example, sees him employ both vintage, New Jersey garage style organ chords and house-tempo, jungle style breakbeats, while "OldNew" is a pleasingly saucer-eyed fusion of UKG inspired two-step beats, Inner City style synth stabs and nu-disco electronics. Elsewhere, "Undercover" sounds like pitched-down early liquid funk and "Smallbig" boasts the kind of sweeping melody lines reminiscent of progressive breaks veterans Hybrid in their pomp (whilst being a little rougher round the edges).

Review: Mathias Kaden is a long time alumnus of the Freude Am Tanzen family out of Jena, learning the ropes from the very best; namely the Wignhomy Brothers. His recent long player Energetic originally came out in mid-2015, but now gets the remix treatment from an all-star cast. "Energie" gets a re-rub from Kompakt main man Michael Mayer, who turns it into one of those dark and melodic journey tracks that will fit into the current status quo of similar tracks by the likes of Life & Death and Innervisions. Dresden dusty house hero, the Uncanny Valley affiliated Cuthead, gives "Korokana" a nice urban flavoured rework and the mysterious Redshape gives "Clarity" his trademark rusty and reductionist sound. Let's not forget Nick Curly's contributions; he gives "Get Phunky" a dose of the Mannheim sound. Its driving, percussive tech house groove is relentless and there's a dub version for those of you less keen on Aquarius Heaven's vocals.

Review: Yellow Magic is the latest in a series of EPs on the Wighnomy Brothers' label by this German duo. Following on from this year's "Purple Magic" release, they have decided to give their studio trickery a different shade. The title track is a tracky, stripped back affair with vocal samples whispering in and out of the arrangement. It's exactly the kind of track one would expect Robag Wruhme to play. "Consoli" follows in a similar vein, but "Trsnumak" ushers in a change of direction as rattling percussion and menacing organ playing are introduced. Although billed as a bonus track, "Segelboot" also impresses, with its jazzy keys and insistent bleeps.

Review: After this album's rocket ship intro we're subject to a bevvy of spaced out, trippy beats, liquid basslines and cosmic synths. To a back drop of future music, vocals in "Get Phunky" and "Soulmakers" wax lyrical about the good old days, while tracks like "Rawtone" lets the drums and percussion do all the talking. The smooth tone of Sophie Taylor's vocals offset the screaming synths in "Clarity", while "Wisodom" sees dubbed out piano chords sing a euphoric progression. Get yourself to Berlin and live this music to blood orange sunrise.

Review: Eating Snow are two Freud Am Tanzen mainstays Mooryc Zimmermann & Douglas Greed, who collaborated on their debut self-titled album last year and now it's time for some solid remixes. First up "This Emptiness Is Mine" gets a makeover, first by Andhim, but for our money it's Finnish Berlin expat Kiki whose gutty and grinding EBM rendition rocks harder. "Gravel & Trees" is up for the taking next and in our opinion Kevin Over (Mobilee/Truesoul) delivered the most inventive perspective on this stripped down and dusty deep house remix. Finally, Marc DePulse's remix of "The Cut" gives the track some brooding and atmospheric progressive house flavour.

Review: While he may have been knocking out largely impressive singles for over a decade, German producer Mathias Kaden is still a little unheralded. This is particularly surprising given the quality of his 2015 album, Energetic. Here, one of the highlights of that set, "Rawtone", gets the remix treatment. The Staygold Remix is rather fine, offering an attractive but undeniably floor-friendly mix of rolling, cymbal-heavy grooves, spooky strings, watery melodies, and impassioned vocal samples. What really makes the remix, though, is the bold and booming bassline, which impressively drives the track forward. Excellent stuff, all told.

Review: Marek Hemmann delivers his first vocal-led release, stepping into the pop infused sphere of dance music with great accomplishment. His clear understanding of pop is merged with his house and techno tendencies, creating a classic sounding song boasting a hypnotic groove and enchanting melody.
