The ever prolific Sublease Music puts out another sublime release, this time handing the floor to combined talents of  Markus Homm, Brad Brunner and AG Swifty. 

Markus Homm is a veteran of the house and tech scene, and a regular at some of the scenes’ foundational venues such as Berghain. His collaborators might have less experience, but bring a whole new flavour to the cooking pot. 

"Connected not only through being part of the same booking agency in Romania (Cyclic), but also through the love for grooving underground  Music, we ended up in the Studio In Bukarest for a few days working on some music. This is the outcome of the session, grooving percussions with the rolling baseline and warm chords and stabs." says Homm.

The Big Con is an urgent, driving slice of stripped down house - the jittery percussion adds a tense edge to the hypnotic groove. The track maintains its energy throughout, with some nice variations and shifting melodic elements. 

Sleeping Dogs is also on the pared down vibe, beginning with a tough kick that eventually opens up into a warm, deep roller.

Ben Rau serves up the third release on his own label Inkal in October featuring two new original tracks by the rising star.
Berlin born Ben Rau is building on the huge success of the first two Inkal releases with two original tracks of his glitched out groove laden signature house sound. Rau has been steadily building his own brand throughout 2017 on his label Inkal, with each release on multiple represses the label is fast becoming synonymous with the type of house music that works equally for the underground vinyl heads and on the big festival stages.
The A-side Ad Astra is a rolling peak time number that marries a ravey lead stab with his trademark swinging hats and glitched out filter modulations over a thumping groove. 
The drop recalls 90’s drum and bass influences and soothing pads take the track into deeper territory. The drums are loose and jostle for attention as the ducking and diving lead synth bring real movement up top. One for the more tasteful sets out there.
Up next is Do Your Thing built around a rolling percussive tech-house groove and rumbling sub bass line, Ben brings in 303 licks and a female vox that urges you to “do your thing “ throughout the track. This roller makes a fine contrast to the swinging grooves of the A-side, dense atmosphere and deep chords compliment the other elements to form an infectious head nodding journey throughout the tracks 8 minute duration.
Once again Rau shows what an essential house producer he has become.

July sees Greece’s Alex Dimou team up with vocalist Aquarius Heaven with ‘Swimming Pool’ on Hottrax featuring a remix from Moscow Records founder Archie Hamilton.  
 
Debuting on Elite Records in 2007, Alex Dimou has gone on to release on influential labels like Get Physical, Rebellion, Audiomatique and Kindisch. His deep and sultry house music has received continual support from names like M.A.N.D.Y, Maya Jane Coles and Jamie Jones, with the latter now signing him to Hottrax where Dimou follows appearances by Butane, Christian Burkhardt, Paco Wegmann, and Meat. 
 
Partnering up with Aquarius Heaven, who’s renowned for appearances on labels like Circus Company, Visionquest, Wolf + Lamb and Crosstown Rebels, ‘Swimming Pool’ kicks things off with a mysterious aesthetic utilising a thumping bassline and Heaven’s twisted vocals before the more upbeat ‘Reckoner’ demonstrates an amalgamation of synth blips, shuffled rhythms and distorted vox samples. Finishing things off, London’s Archie Hamilton presents his rework of ‘Swimming Pool’, delivering a modulated low end and resonant atmospherics to conclude the package.  

Tracklist: 
1. Swimming Pool 
2. Reckoner 
3. Swimming Pool (Archie Hamilton Remix)
