Kurtiss is a shadowy and enigmatic figure working on the boundaries of civilization. A sporadic figure on the House music scene with eccentric habits, Kurtiss’ music is a rarified sonic experience for those who seek it out. The American artist is hard to pin down and his music is a tantalizing little secret only for adept diggers who appreciate the style of Hi-Def House music that the artist has cultivated. Although he’s a known Soundcloud fixture, he’s only put out a handful of digital singles as Curtis Vodka in the past, with Mutual Intentions facilitating his latest and immortalizing his music on their next set of releases.

A nomadic artist, who’s worked on music ranging from Ghetto Tech to House, his music has spanned the known musical spectrum, forging uncanny relationships with everything from 50 Cent to Mall Grab. Under the pseudonym Kurtiss (or Curtis Vodka), he’s all about HIGH-Fi House, life, aliens, Jazz and no trends.

It’s an attitude that he lays bare on this rare contribution to the physical, recorded format for Mutual Intentions on ‘The Curtis Vodka EP’. The EP weaves classic House music influences through a penchant for vintage sound machines and arrangements that evoke a solemn air. Elements of Gospel and New York’s deeper inclinations in House music seep through his sound as archived vocal samples and noisy machines give his work its defining character.

Glistening keys and strings that slither through airy textures create dense aural experiences on ‘The Curtis Vodka EP’, calling to mind the musical masterpieces of House music’s golden era when the likes of Kerri Chandler and Masters At Work were producing some of their best work. Kurtiss adopts song-based progressions with melodies and harmonies that resolve through a fantastic sonic emulsion between samples and synthesizers. A specter of a vocal or an artificial birdcall from a loon trapped inside an Emax opens a direct link between Kutiss’ alien obsessions and a dance floor on terra firma, between machine music and the mysticisms of the soul.

Curtis Vodka is the artist’s first official release for the best part of a decade, with Mutual Intentions sealing the artist’s distinctive sound in wax with this EP and the accompanying ’Tributes & Remixes’ 12-inch.

THE CUBE GUYS & CHUCKIE 'Twisted' OUT NOW on BEATPORT!

Rich Wakley makes his eagerly anticipated return to Suah with his searing new single 'Real Talk'. The track rides on a salacious groove - showing off the Leeds artist's snare play whilst deploying an undulating low end. The breakdowns see high strings layered over resonant synth delays and a vocal sample courtesy of 'Running Scared'.

Remix duty is taken up by tech house heavyweight Russ Yallop and newcomer CASSIMM. Yallop keeps the groove rolling whilst trading in a driving bassline, deploying hefty orchestral hits, sparse percussive details and a melodic organ. 

In a game of duality, CASSIMM takes a darker approach with a moody low rumble, aggressively scattered synth work and an emphasis on atmospheric vocal effects.

‘Won’t Always Be’ now sees full release on his new ‘Won’t Always Be’ EP along with two other underground cuts ‘Shuzumi’ and ‘That Feeling’.

Universal Solution - That Feeling

Keeping the White Isle’s underground scene stocked and supported with all everything vinyl related, Ibiza’s record store ‘More Than Music’ is now set to launch their own self styled vinyl imprint. They’re first 12" will be christened by none other than in form Romanian producer Dragos Dumitru aka Cally, who’s smooth and rhythmically energised blend of minimal house & techno has been seen him release on London’s 'Fear of Flying’ and Hanover label ‘Malonian’, alongside sharply executed remixes for the likes of Romanian label Cersennin & Welsh imprint Curtea Veche. Its always exciting to hear new material from Cally and this new venture for MTM hits all the right spots, coming from an artist who’s finding his niche within flourishing Ro-minimal soundscape.

Immediate A side opener and title track 'Yes no, Maybe so' is a moody floor shaker, it's tensile pads and moody over tones float above a bumping, signature Cally bass line. Straight up and to the point, this is a groove thats geared for peak time usage, its snappy percussive flow will definitely keep spirits heightened on the dance floor. 

A turn to the B side and we find Copenhagen’s own Martinez flipping B2’s ‘Decisions’ into a swingy, hi hat fuelled minimal house groove. Here he turns the rather introspective melodics of the original on its head, utilising a solid undercarriage of static 4/4 beats over which bleepy electronics and pads circulate in heady formation. Finally we come to B2’s ‘Decisions’.. a beautifully refined minimalist techno cut thats all about contrast. The low end characterised by a meaty, acid edged bass line motif that drives forward in uncompromising fashion. Whilst the upper end plays host to subtle melodic tones and pads that whisper in echoed voices. A transportive cut that lulls the heart and mind into a blissful state of consciousness.

Once again Cally wows and his emotive and intuitively crafted productions are generating more excitement by the minute. MTM know good music and this exciting collaboration certainly won’t be the last for the label, as they shift more of their focus into the vinyl release format. Stay tuned.

Rising UK talent Ben Sterling returns to Hot Creations with the Fantasee EP, a
stunning three track release that features a remix from house heavyweight
Jansons.

Title track Fantasee is a rolling house cut, with an infectious vocal and subtle
percussion that merges with driving pads to form a track that harks back to the early
days of house music. The Jansons’ remix comes next. Warm synths fuse with an
energy-fuelled “come on” lyric, whilst the tempo of the track rustles along quickly.
Following in a similar vein to Fantasee, second original track Melania Please rounds off
the EP where whispering vocals give way to a powerful kick drum, as a delicate bleep
chimes in the background to create another pumping house record.

Ben Sterling is quickly becoming a respected artist in the house music sphere. Named
as Danny Howard’s first Future Fire guest of the year on BBC Radio 1 in 2019, the
young star is influenced by his family’s 70-80s disco collection, modern electro, plus
Chicago house and Detroit techno. At just 18, his residency for Rulin’ at London’s
Ministry of Sound marked him out as one to watch. Jansons is no stranger to the
scene. Having remixed various records of Hot Creations mainstay Richy Ahmed, his
keen eye for production has lead him to release on Four Thirty Two and Knee Deep in
Sound.

Released 21st February 

Firmly established as a bedrock of the progressive and melodic techno sound, Anjunadeep has scaled new heights in the past 12 months with support coming from acts as disparate as UK techno baron Dave Clarke, Laurent Garnier, Eric Prydz, Groove Armada’s Andy Cato and stadium-filler Deadmau5 – the latter commenting on Michael Cassette’s Anjunadeep anthem ‘Ghost In The Machine’: “I haven’t felt this good listening to a piece of music since Eric Prydz’s ‘Melo’ -10/10”. 

Showcasing the full spectrum of the label’s diverse sounds, Anjunadeep 03 is the latest annual label collection and features 29 largely unreleased tracks that range from deep, dark and hypnotic techno sounds to upbeat, uplifting electronic house grooves.

Beginning on the lush techno of Stephen J Kroos’ ‘Micrsh’ and the beautifully brooding deep house chasms of Martin Roth’s ‘Deep Style’, Anjunadeep A&R James Grant’s CD1 mix continues to build through melodic techno and progressive textures with tracks and remixes from Underworld, Spooky, Michael Cassette, Andrew Bayer and promising newcomer, Soundprank.

On the second disc, Anjunadeep mainstay Jaytech shows off a slightly more upbeat and uplifting electronic house sound that touches on nu disco, electro and more classic house grooves and includes Jaytech’s own forthcoming anthem ‘Djembe’, as well as deep audio offerings from Solarity, Dinka, PROFF, Interplay and Maor Levi. 

To celebrate the release of this flagship release, Anjunadeep is holding a brace of transatlantic launch parties. The first will take place at the world-famous Ministry of Sound on Friday 4th February, where Jaytech and James Grant will be perform a 4 hour back2back set for The Gallery.
