In My Life – AFMB A follow up release to 'Back Up Days', Bernd Kunz has put out another classic vocal house music reminiscent of many early chicago house producers. "In My Life" will have that dancefloor full and then some, the energy of the track is amazing, without ever opting for the easy-cheesy route. This track features talented singer Geraldine Roth, who was recently discovered when singing live at a after hours party in Drumpoet Community's club Zukunft, filtering out and now set to be one of the big summer house staples.
Man or Mistress – Levon Vincent Hi-hats bounce around like giant sheets of metal before the track locks into a sustained groove, which allows the main hook – an indescribably heavy rave synth line – to be twisted around with unyielding, relentless vigour. Big plays all round, but you can be sure Vath is pumping this one out all summer.
Egoist – Gary Beck This power track kicks off with a reduced groove and a compact rolling bass drum, evolving in an echoing snare and hi-hat inferno. `Egoist’ is more than just an efficient dance floor weapon, the inventively used subtle vocal samples and sexy groove this track creates a cool which just goes beyond the norm.
The Wipe (Marco Carola Remix) – Teste Preserves the old school flavour while reshaping the dark techno hymn into a tight, metronomic, percussion lead groove.
Ye Ye – Daphini
A skuttering 4/4 rhythm layered with dirty techno chords and snapping 808 drums, punctuated by and urgent headspace vocals
Sicko Cell – Unknown Artist
Stripped 808 patterns, phased bassline, demonically pitched down vocal sample with house inspired chords ringing out in the background.
Deep Inside (Pearson Sound Refix) – Hardive Percussive arrangement nodding back to the 90s Chicago juke, cowbells resonating in vacant spaces with a vocal sample relooping in a hypnotising repetition.
"A 90 minute journey through the dark techno tinged sounds of house, twisted bare grooves, emersive clicks & clacks and scattering snares worked over driving tribal rhythms. After months of careful crafting, the mix delves into and out of underground recognition whilst showcasing an essential selection of collaborations between electronic musics most esteemed artists."
