Not Enough Gary's EP

Brawther and Tristan Da Cunha's Dungeon Meat deals only in rock-solid house cuts designed for maximum club impact. Their Weapons Of Ass Destruction series is a treasure trove of such sounds and the fourth volume is another doozy: Sweely kicks off with some rubbery tripped-out tech, Frederik Anthony spins out on silky and deft percussive tech on 'Shortbacknsides' and Timmy P's 'Your Parents Are Doing It Right Kev' is a drake heavier stomper for when things get freaky. Boss Priester offers another highlight with the industrial and cosmic tech of 'Today Okay' while JAMM's 'Ignition' is more high-class weaponry.

What lies on the terrain for which no map exists? Tifra has volunteered to take the plunge and find out. For the 28th record on Haŵs, the Dutch DJ/producer steps up to the frontline with ‘Terra Incognita’ - a primitive force to be reckoned with that reveres the hypnotising, ominous unknown. Four investigational tracks unify the checkpoints, wandering through themes of 00s/90s leftfield house, prog, and continuous, undulating grooves.

As Soul Capsule, Baby Ford and Thomas Melchior made some of minimal techno's most accomplished records. It has been many years since they stopped turning out new material - sadly - but their archive tracks are still in hot demand and undeniably relevant. While 1999's 'Lady Science' might be their most famous offering, this EP from 2001 on Aspect Music is no less vital and it will currently cost you well over L250 on second-hand markets. It is Ford's Trelik label who reissues it here in all its glory: the entirety of the a-side is taken up with 'Law Of Grace,' a delightfully deep and breezy minimal dub house roller with pensive chords draped over the frictionless drums. 'Meltdown' has a more experimental feel with brushed metal drums beneath a wordless vocal musing. The cult 'Lady Science' (Tek Mix) is also inched with the whole package being remastered by D&M to make this one utterly essential. (Juno review)

In 1990, in an otherwise typical, provincial small town of Bracknell, located at the outer reaches of West London suburbia, a now infamous weekly Sunday night party ‘Shave Yer Tongue’ took place for the first time which played host to the likes of luminaries of the field of DJing such as Alfredo and Andrew Weatherall. On this musical outing by two founders of the party, Scott James & Christopher Hayne, under the guise of SYT in 1995 - we have the aptly titled Deep Drift EP: four driving, tasteful Progressive House & Trance cuts that are as equally likely to open a wormhole in space and time as they are to move a dancefloor to interdimensional bliss.

Wildly healing from a downtown record store and cultural bar in Barcelona, Perros Mediterráneos embarks on their next adventure launching the new born record label, Perros Recordings. Nourished by their early groove fundamentals, for the first release they have onboard four long-time friends who most influenced their vision of house music.As a balanced dualism in the style of yin to yang, this release splits with two tracks from Paris (France) and two from Bologna (Italy).The curtain rises with Charonne's Electricity Pulse (A1) engaging with an electro-funk driven elixir for any dancefloor, blending timeless vibes with a contemporary edge through an infectious rhythm. Next up is Take Some Future (A2), a finely arranged and tuned tech house anthem from the prolific producer Nemo Vachez, pushing boundaries with such a lively thrust and parry of tantalizing synths, hypnotic vocals and cinematic bassline.Flipping over to the B-side (B1), we dive headfirst into the enigmatic world of Umberto, one half of the renowned duo Nudge and a founding pillar of 320KB Music. His track 'My Mind' weaves a powerful effect into the ears, a house dream that goes deep, deep and deep... touching body, soul and obviously mind, waking up through a fat bass shaker every dancefloor.And at the pivoting point of the B2 side mystical track, we find 'Colour Depth' by T. Oceans. This "Detroit-oriented" seductive journey into the depths of sound expresses a curious electronic meditation moment, powered by layers of mellow pads and roller coaster arpeggios.Here we are now, we let the dogs out with these four widely tuned various tracks.

Belgian producer Gratts, an active dj for more than 20 years, teams up with pioneering Chicago vocalist Robert Owens on this new house anthem for our times. Hope is built into the very fibre of ‘Brighter Future’, from its optimistic synths to the sprightly Roland drum patterns, with Owens’ lilting affirmations soaring above. On the flip, Jorge Caiado’s remix and the New Vision Dub bring the track to the late night dancefloor, recalling the 90s heyday of Murk, Cajmere and Mood II Swing.
