Cromie's quietly become one of LA's most vital house producers. Following a killer debut for NYC-based label Peach alongside fellow Eastsider Sage Caswell (with a remix by none other than Kyle MF Hall), he's been patiently honing his craft. His unique, amped-up vision of house music comes into full view with his Amadeus debut, At Interfaces. Cromie, real name Nikola Hlady, is liberal with the soulful samples. In his case, they're simply a flourish to his fully formed productions. Take the title track. In the breakdown, he introduces a beautiful saxophone solo and the occasional vocal, but they serve only compliment the massive bassline and percolating pads which form the backbone of the song. With Onda, Cromie's melodic gift is on display. A vibraphone lead takes us down a path to some beautiful, nostalgic chords. The B-side is all fascinating rhythms, for the DJs. "Tariff" is pure peak-time business. For the closer, "Clear To Me," he's roped in James Del Barco, with whom he throws underground raves in LA. The B2, or 'inside cut,' mixes a hyperactive 2-step kick with a jacking snare and just the right amount of LA G-funk action, with a sampled diva sweetening the mix.

The floatation device was beginning to fail as the waves came crashing in. Deep beneath the ocean lay a villainous predator which was capable of striking at any time. They were in perilous trouble. Mission Freecell 52 had gone horribly wrong and they were all that was left. Submarine's weren't supposed to fail, the sonar system had crashed leaving them unmarked amidst the dense black water. Light was fading, now as they clung tightly onto the raft they began to close their eyes. 

Light On Earth is a newly formed record label to emerge from Lyon, run by Sentiments he delivers its debut release. This one is already rallying support and is looking like it might sell quickly.

Italian label @cosmic-rhythm-records made their debut last year with an EP by Michele Lamacchia under his @rhytmh-of-paradise alias, a fusion of early 90’s house, disco and 80’s electronica. Since then, their releases have gone from strength to strength and for such a new label, have made a great impact. Their sound could be described as a fond throwback to a golden age of house with an avant-garde twist.

Their latest offering is an EP by Loss Of Gravity, a collaboration between Lamacchia and Nicola Loporchio,  entitled "Sotterranea" (roughly translated as 'underground'). Today we premiere the opening track ‘Intensity’. This track has an air of familiarity to it as the opening chords melt into your subconscious. Layers of percussion and a pulsating bass line are added into the fray, along with some lush melancholic melodies and pads that the godfather Larry Heard would be proud of. Intensity would be a perfect fit for a warm-up set, a 3AM slot to break up the banger tracks, a laid back podcast or even an open top car journey along the coast.

Plenty of producers try and recreate the magic of deep house tracks in the early 90’s but this duo have done a fine job, breaking that all too familiar cliche to create a record of true class. The future continues to look bright for Cosmic Rhythm if this form continues.

Roman Rauch is back with another outing on his Life Is For Living imprint. On the A-side he’s joined by his studio partner Peletronic for a jazzy banger heavily influenced by some tasty pizze before the session. The flip side offers a dancefloor oriented, infectious tune named “Lawless”. Could this be a reference to himself, a clue to the original sample or both? You take the guess.

'Love Waves' draws inspiration from Italian Dream House, New Age, Acid and UK break-beat.
