Crustation were a short-lived trip-hop group with ties to Portishead and Massive Attack; their 1997 single "Flame" was a perfectly nice, totally innocuous, and mostly forgettable contribution to the drowsy downbeat catalog. The journeymen producers Mood II Swing put their characteristically light, funky touch on a club-friendly remix of the song, as they did hundreds of times during their run as New York's most dependable remixers. But Mood II Swing also had a murkier, more abstracted side; you can hear it in productions like "Move Me," "The Slippery Track," and the eerie "Inhale," which sounds like Gary Numan's "Cars" being sucked through a Teflon wormhole. But they outdid themselves on the "Borderline Insanity Dub" of "Flame," lacing a skipping, proto-U.K.-garage beat with hiccupping vocal loops and a lithe, shadowboxing bass line; the icing on the cake comes courtesy of a swirling fog of vocal harmonies that pans from speaker to speaker. Running out of phase with the beat, it lends a sense of tidal ebb-and-flow, throwing the time deliriously out of joint. The fact that Mood II Swing never produced anything else quite like it only makes this fluid, enveloping tune all the more irreplaceable. P.S.

Pia-pia-pian-oh my god this one has some lush keys. Four groove-laden deep house cuts come straight out of Paris for the third release on Feelings Worldwide.

Following two EPs from Kasra V and Keith Lorraine with enormous remixes from Dream 2 Science and Jovonn respectively, the Feelings crew deliver some white label material this time around with the inaugural EP from Larry Houl.

The multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, delivers his first solo release with four tasty machine tracks with some heavy synth work covering a full spectrum of dance floor moments. From balearic lifters and soulful electronic jams to hard hitting Detroit pacers and dark room after party moments, there are flavours for all on this debut.

Berberian Nights EP

B2 Larry Houl - On The Floor - FLING003-WT

Down the long driveway at the end of Second Avenue is a single story abode perched on a cliff overlooking the water. The timber constructed house built in the 1950s, is surrounded by native pohutukawa trees whose bright red coloured flowers are mimic'ed by the window frames and detailing of the exterior. As you walk down the narrow path along the side of the property, you can peer into the studio and catch a glance of an older man working away at his desk. Surrounded by books, records and CDs he will be drafting plans by hand for his next project. Continue along the path and reach the edge of the cliff — watch your step as you go down the decaying staircase and arrive at a small landing lapping in the waves of the harbour.  

This record is dedicated to my grandfather Jack and the house he built.
