Had a harddrive crash recently which had my one time Beatport download of Summer Riot Part III on it and I was pissed.  However this is one of the few tracks I would repurchase without even thinking twice.  Years later and still this is absolutely one of my favorite tracks ever including all genres.  Few tracks can take me on such an intense emotional journey let alone every time I listen to them, this is one of those very special tunes that will be with me for the rest of my life.

bright vibe! love the energy in this track

Various Artists – Summer Riot III
FBR027

A. Outboxx - Feel Your Love
B. Buckley feat. Phoenix Pearle - The Red Road
C. Waifs & Strays - Now Come
D. @Kemback - Mistake

Some things come round but once a year. And in the case of Futureboogie, we’ve tucked away a nice little collection of annual shindigs and hoedowns, from our yearly ventures to the Garden Festival in Croatia, FBR rave ups at Glastonbury and Lovebox, and our Summer Riot series, a fitting tribute to the end of Summer, with music that’s floated our boats during the warmer months.

Summer Riot III features a quartet of top talent, with top tracks to boot. Outboxx open up proceedings with the killer “Feel Your Love”. Sizzling 808 hats, a deep, low slung groove and filtering vocals make for a warm and classic sounding track, with some light acid bassline work tweaking over the top. Recent releases on Local Talk and Idle Hands are definitely making this Bristol based duo ‘ones to watch’ for sure. Pure heat from the lads!

The resident DJ at Leeds clubbing institution, Back To Basics, makes his debut appearance on Futureboogie. Buckley checks in with a rare original production with ‘The Red Road’ feat. Phoenix Pearle. A super and authentic slice of disco boogie, Pearle’s vocals soar over a musical hotbed of rising horns, slap bass and flute-work, evoking shades of Chic and Roy Ayers….

Waifs & Strays return to FBR after 2013’s ‘I Saw Yo Girl’ release. ‘Now Come’ is built around a subtle and moody sub-bass, its synth stabs and hanging string pointing to a little Detroit influence perhaps, coming over like more delicate Kevin Saunderson production but with no less the power!

Wrapping up this essential Summer Riot is a rather excellent and epic piece of deep house from Kemback AKA Geoff Wright. ‘Mistake’ is a great wind down composition, its pace and ambience could make this the surprise nugget on this package. The b-line takes on a life of its own, mutating and morphing, whilst the sweet melody worms around the solid woody beat. An awesome start for Kemback and his music.

US house sensation Moon Boots made his Anjunadeep debut late last year with the soulful throwback grooves of ‘Red Sky’, which picked up big support from Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1, Jason Bentley on KCRW and from a host of tastemaker DJs including Gorgon City, Tiga and Claude VonStroke. Two UK talents now step up for remix duties – Medlar and Kahwe.

Medlar has previously remixed Disclosure, Groove Armada and Tensnake, and put out a string of gorgeous EPs on Wolf Music. He ups the ante on his remix, blending the original melodies with dark bassline and punchy percussion.

Kahwe brings his own unique style to proceedings, delivering a mellow take full of atmospheric live percussion, warm fuzzy basslines and cascading melodies.

The well cultured Do Not Sit label from Behrouz now returns with more enchanting house music, this time from Fluida who serves up four fantastic new cuts. This fine sonic craftsmen has put out music on the likes of Southern Fried and Anjunadeep and has a meticulous sense of melody and groove. 

Opener The Whole Moon is a colourful and loose house cut with spiritual synths and nice organic percussion. It's romantic and deep and has a real sense of heart warming soul. And The Entire Sky is another dreamy effort, with lush hang drum sounds peppering the smooth house drums as pads drift off into the distance. Reflected Within is a hiccuping cut with more broad synth strokes making for that late night and intimate feel that defines this label’s output. It is musical and makes an emotional impact. A Single Dewdrop On The Grass has glassy tinkles and succulent drums, with more woody percussive sounds, xylophones and hip swinging drums all sinking you into a reverie. 

This is a perfectly rich and rewarding house EP from one of the best in the game.

Up next on Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs' Nice Age imprint, the new and mysterious producer 9th House delivers a delightful two-tracker titled 'Farout'.

Having already received support from Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1 and Travis Holcombe on KCRW, the EP's title track is a tropic and looming dancefloor roller that deserves your undivided attention.

9th Houses' 'Farout drops on March 29 via Nice Age.
