‘Feel The Funk’ is a typical example of Tony Faline’s production prowess. Big drops, rolling basslines, and a vocal hook that raises a sea of hands whenever the tune gets played. Meanwhile the UK's Lee Coombs steps things up with a rolling monster of a remix on the flip...

Get Physical Music acquired the Definitive label earlier in the year and now offers a second volume of classics from its venerated vaults. All three tracks from Calisto, Dance Fever and Las Americas have been remastered.

John Acquaviva, Richard Hawtin and Karl Kowalski founded this cult label in 1992, putting out a perfect mix of driving and dynamic house aimed squarely at the club. Acquaviva remains involved alongside Get Physical and appears here with a superb remix.

But first is Calisto with the 1994 gem 'Get House,' a raw and percussive cut with a bassline that drills down deep to the heart of the dance floor. Cut up vocals and stiff snares make for an edgy groove with synths that still sound futuristic. Then comes long-time underground pioneer J. Acquaviva with his ‘U Ain't Really Disco Mix’ of Dance Fever's 'A Woman In Love' from 1992. A long-time secret weapon for DJs of the time, it's a dubbed-out house swinger with muffled trumpet motifs, impassioned vocal cries and a steamy vibe that proves irresistible. Last but not least is Richie Hawtin in lesser known guise Robotman with his 1994 flip of Las Americas 'Look, Listen, Love.' It's turbocharged future house with a dark soul. Pulsing synths ride up and down the mix next to crisp hits, while the chunky drums and bass bring plenty of bounce.

This is another trio of essential and authentic early house music weapons.

Airtime Records drops another heavy release with the Sleazy Bastard EP by Serbian talent Bosko Balos. Packed with three standout originals and a remix from none other than Marko Nastic, this ones brimming with raw grooves and late-night energy-crafted for those who like their house a little dirty and unpredictable. The A-side kicks off with the title track, Sleazy Bastard. Its a chunky, low-slung roller drenched in attitude, combining gritty basslines, cheeky vocal stabs, and a groove thats as sleazy as it is irresistible. This is the kind of track that commands the floor, oozing with character and ready to stir up any basement rave or backroom session. Next up is Green Yellow Sun, a playful, sun-kissed jam that mixes trippy synth flourishes with warm, driving percussion. Balos keeps it slick and soulful, delivering a track that feels just as good during sunrise moments as it does in a packed-out club. Over to the B-side, and its time to turn up the heat with 2 Hot. True to its name, this ones all fire-sharp, sizzling hi-hats ride over a hypnotic bassline, while quirky hooks and relentless energy make it an instant weapon for peak-time action. Its bold, upfront, and absolutely infectious. Rounding off the release is Marko Nastićs Raw Mix of Green Yellow Sun, where the Serbian maestro strips it back to its core, adding his signature raw, rolling touch. With a driving low-end and laser-sharp percussion, Nastićs remix is a masterclass in minimal groove, taking the original into darker, deeper territory.
