Great Stuff Grooves Vol. 4 
Various Artists 
Great Stuff Recordings

You can&#8217;t hold a good thing down, and that&#8217;s exactly why the acclaimed Great Stuff Grooves series is back with another four hot slices of house and tech this month. Drawing on producers from across the world, it&#8217;s another feisty package. 

English talent Filthy Rich continues his fine run of form (see a recent contribution to Hot Creations&#8217; Hot Waves compilation) with the infectious Drop This. Drawing heavily on house heritage once again, he welds woozy organs to head-nodding skippy beats and a plump, acid house-tinged bassline. Those held string notes in the breakdown hark back to the mid-&#8216;90s, and highlight this track&#8217;s succinct blend of old and new.

Hungary&#8217;s Muzzaik were once known for their tribal and progressive grooves, but Face It is pumping straight-up house music through and through. Again, there&#8217;s a nod to a bygone era with diva vocal snippets, filtered disco loops and big cymbal hits, but it&#8217;s all brought bang up to date with their immense production prowess. The low end undulates wildly, with occasional Daft Punk-esque descending bassline fills, and the breaks build things up to giddy heights with huge snare builds and hypnotic synth motifs. A very large track indeed, and one for those who like their filtered funk with a little techy urgency.

Don&#8217;t be fooled by Deepdisco&#8217;s name - Put Your Sunglasses On is a pure twisted techno romp. A stomping, heavily-swung groove is what this track&#8217;s all about, with just a dash of tribalism thrown in. A delicate piano scale provides contrast in the breaks, while subtly growling synths and dissonant sounds do battle in the main sections. An absolute beast of a track, it combines heads-down funk with just the right amount of deft little flourishes.

Bongo Jack rounds off the package with PHNTM - the percussion he gets his name from lacing a sidewinder of a bassline and afro guitar licks. A huge disco loop is filtered into submission before finally revealing itself in glorious fashion, the urgent percussion driving things along potently. A rasping synth motif and more bongo rhythms complete the high-energy feel, with some huge builds taking the track to fever pitch.
