Review: Magic Edition, Taron-Trekka's second full-length excursion, draws together tracks originally released on a trio of EPs (Purple Magic, Yellow Magic and Black Magic), between 2014 and 2016. Given that those three 12" singles contained some of the experienced German duo's most inventive work, it's not surprising that the material sits well together. It's largely melodious and musically rich, with tracks giddily blending elements of deep house, tech-house, acid, electro, IDM, jazz, soul and techno in its' myriad forms. Much of it is hard to accurately describe stylistically - never a bad thing in our book - but it's all hugely entertaining.

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: Douglas Greed was always one of the more interesting minimal house producers, and on Recombinated he shows why he still enjoys that status. "Aenima" starts life as a tribal house groove, but soon slides into a droning, bass-heavy affair, oozing sinister intent. "What Is My Territory" continues in a similar vein before veering into a reflective reverie. Meanwhile, "Schwarzteemagen" in its entirety is a ponderous affair, led by shaking percussion and a bluesy slide guitar. True to form though, Greed keeps his audience guessing till the end, and on "Lopez" brings the EP to a close with grinding, abstract rhythms.

Review: It's not hard to tell that Mario Willms aka Douglas Greed is an experienced, adventurous producer and this release on the Wighnomy Brothers' label pushes minimal house in new directions. The title track starts off as standard stripped back groove, but soon descends into detuned chord and bassline kookiness. "Play The Game" is the most typical minimal track here, but even it sounds different thanks to its buzz-saw bass and hissing percussion. Best of all though is "The Right Man For The Gob", which takes inspiration from older minimal records and combines the yelping analogue riffs of classic Dan Bell with a predatory bassline.

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: 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: 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.

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: 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.
