@groovimanol is always looking for the groove, he’s a digger and loves to find “new” lost songs.
His tracks are played by DJ's of the size of Folamour, Jacques Renault, Rahaan, Javi Frías, among others. 
At the end of 2017 he edited his EP "Funky Weekend" on Beatport which climbed to place 31st of the funk/disco best 100 rank and in mid-2018 he mounted his own label “U’re Guay Records” featuring artists round the globe.
After a decade of musicing any encounter, since the last years the rhythm of presentations has become constant in clubs and parties in Uruguay emerging new opportunities in several countries in the Americas and Europe.

Bart van Rijn’s STUG has long been a source of great inspiration for in-the-know heads. His latest reminds us of the fact, as the label head snaps up one of contemporary electronic music’s most alluring characters for the label’s ninth such outing. Step forward British
producer Works Of Intent (fka R.O.S.H.), who delivers a classy record courtesy of the magnificent Storm EP. Backed by a remix by the main protagonist himself, it also features a remix from prolific Swedish, Skudge.
Kicking off proceedings is 'Storm', a peak-time cut that’s layered with killer synths and a meandering baseline that’s both deep and driving. Hypnotic but also endlessly groovy, it gets us underway in seriously assured fashion.
'Glacial (Club Mix)' sees the producer turn his hand
to more acid-focused plains, and it too has more than enough about it to move the floor.
The 'Terrace Mix' of Glacial, meanwhile, is no slouch, with this no less enticing than its younger brother.
Works Of Intent then returns to 'Storm' via his 'Lorenz System' remix. A far cry from the original, it plays out in intriguing fashion, with its heavenly, almost trance-leaning backbone an interesting foil for its twinkling melodies and larger-than-life baseline.
Closing out matters is Skudge’s heads-down, no-nonsense interpretation of 'Glacial'. As ever, the remix work is really on point, and though they omit much of the original’s intriguing acid lines, the drums and the underlying baseline do some serious damage here. All things considered, this is an all-round banging EP that nearly signals STUG’s intentions for the year ahead.

PREMIERE : Bart Van Rijn - Glacial (Skudge remix)

Adesso Music taps South African heavyweights KingDonna and Argento Dust for powerful new remixes of Junior Jack & Pat BDS’s recent smash, ‘E.V.O’.

A rising force in Johannesburg’s house music scene, KingDonna has built a reputation for blending traditional African rhythms with forward-thinking house grooves, with releases on top labels from MoBlack to Nervous. His remix of 'E.V.O.’ is a perfect showcase of this duality – fusing heartfelt, soulful melodies with deep, driving grooves that will light up dancefloors worldwide.

Having cut his teeth as part of The House Junkies collective, Durban-born producer Argento Dust boasts a refined and emotive sound that has caught the attention of legends like Black Coffee and led to releases on Madorasindahouse as well as collaborations with Shimza and more. Dust’s take on ‘E.V.O.’ delivers a more atmospheric and stripped-back approach, with delicate synth and piano motifs raining down over hypnotic rolling drums.

Founded in 2019 by Junior Jack and his music partner Pat BDS, Adesso Music has become a beacon for club-ready, forward-thinking modern house music. With releases from artists like Flashmob, Wally Lopez, CASSIMM, Eldeanyo, Tim Cullen, AndThen, and many more, the label has cemented itself as a champion of both established and emerging underground talent and a definite one to watch.

On the fourth disc the a-side is fully covered with the second appearance of Amsterdam producer KAAP. Known for his long live jams on his own imprint Working Titles he does the same right here. 'Phisiks', over 14 minutes long is a warm and dubby melodic builder that perfectly fits in the ÆX catalogue. On the b-side there's Ocke W again with a slamming percussive jam. The EP finishes with Taupe who is following up his track on the third chapter, here again an energetic Detroit-esque techno trip.

With nearly 95 percent of the current DJ population adopting enigmatic personas, it is now our duty to only present music by artists who have the time to present a deeply coded dance music mystery. Enter R.O.S.H., who first came to our attention via French legend Laurent Garnier (a clue?!?). All the info we were provided - a VHS copy of something called “The Crystal Maze” and references to televised ritual humiliation -  was merely the first layer to be peeled back before the ultimate reveal, the kind of “Oh, cool” moment that keeps us all going in these uncertain times.

As any self-respecting Techno Sleuth worth their BPM magnifying glass knows, “You gotta follow the music.” We sat down with a team of empaths to break down the release into a series of generic descriptors we hoped would tell us something about R.O.S.H.’s identity. Here’s what they came up with:

“Techno”
“90s vibes”
“Just the right kind of crazy"
“Emotional”
“Gee, this is really good”

After cross-referencing the data, we found no reason to reject the hypotheses that R.O.S.H. is “probably British” and also “an alien.” All of which is to say that things just got a lot more interesting at Twin Turbo. We’ll keep you posted.

R.O.S.H. - Perhaps I Would

After years of releasing other artists on the label, Martyn returns to 3024 himself with two brand new tracks. Properly reflecting the music he has been DJ'ing out recently, these are two high energy drum workouts that can go straight in the bag. One Eye is an electro based melodic builder, while Nerve Centers is heavily inspired by a more international Drum sound, forwarded by producers such as Noire, NKC, Ahadadream, Principe crew etc.
