Reflex Blue debuts on Spectral Bounce with The Bleeps, a five-track EP that weaves a somber yet captivating late-night ambiance. Over a string of releases in recent years, Reflex Blue has been sculpting a distinct and evolving sound, blending the core minimal aesthetic of UK Tech House with influences from his homeland.

This homage to early 2000's Tech House captures its essence while infusing it with a fresh, pulsating perspective. The opening track, 'Dracula’s MPC', sets the tone with its club-ready elements: crisp drums, deep bass lines, and captivating vocal samples that command attention throughout. On the B-side, "Interlude" offers a glimpse into Reflex Blue’s large palette with its boppy and quirky breaks. It's a spectral record in every sense, making it the perfect sophomore release for the label.

Sushitech is back with another of its sublime vinyl-only projects and this one focuses on the work of Dexter. There will be three 12"s in all that draw together some of the producer's finest moments. He is a truly cult figure amongst those who know and he served up a fresh take on tech, acid, dub and house between 1997 and 2004 when these tracks were first made - if you can find any of those original records prepare to pay loads for them, or else dive into Past Moves I. It has a brace of slick, tightly programmed cuts underpinned by rolling pads with lovely lo-fi pads up top. Heady stuff.

Rework's classic 2002 cut 'You're So Just Just' gets fresh remixes fromTroxler X Crosson and Cinthie alongside an updated version from the actthemselves.Underground mainstays Rework released this standout track on thelegendary Playhouse label and it is one that established them aspioneers right from the off. It was followed by several vital albums andreleases on the same label, as well as the likes of Visionquest andexlove records.Here, they revisit their original, which features vocals from Laetitia, andupdate its cold minimal grooves with fresh energy. The bass rolls deep,and the drums are snappy and upright as the edgy chords keep thingsfull of suspense. Laetitia's soulful stylings are cut up and smearedthrough the mix to make for a brilliantly driving and emotive track.Visionquest co-founders and long-time techno talents Seth Troxler andRyan Crosson also pair off for a remix. Their version is full of trippysound designs and wiggling hooks. It's a tightly interwoven minimalgroove with an afterparty feel, and the original vocals bring their ownseductive vibe.The second remix comes from much-loved Berlin native Cinthie, whoruns the Elevate store and 803 Crystal Grooves label. She recentlyserved up a fantastic mix for the legendary DJ Kicks series and bringsher timeless sound to this remix. It is raw, dusty and perfect for sweatybasements, as its hypnotic loops and punchy kick patterns are draped inold-school chord vamps.This is a great update to a dance music classic from a fine selection ofscene favourites.
These tracks are among my absolute favourites in the realm of house music. Their haunting grooves seamlessly blend into house, techno or even garage sets. Despite being recorded about 30 years ago the sonic quality remains unmatched for its time, embodying the essence of timeless music.However, I’ve never been entirely satisfied with the sound of the original pressings. The vinyl limited total time length compromised the audio quality. Thus, I’ve long desired to remaster it in my studio and properly cut them, which led to our decision to undertake this endeavour.I am immensely proud of this release and thrilled to include it in our exquisite collection on Pariter.
