Fundamentals

A1. One More Time

The superb Make Up series hits release number three and in doing so heads back to the trio that started it all. The combination of Chicago house originator Chez Damier, Adeen label head Camille and Italian talent Nico Lahs is a dream team indeed and they serve up some crucial edits that cover a wide sonic range. There are standout cuts on the first 12" such as 'Dance to Freedom' and 'African Bump' while jazzy grooves define 'Sunny' and 'Changes' is all about getting that dance floor vibing. This is another in-the-know musical voyage from this crew that more that deserves a spot on your shelves.

Volume 4 of the Make Up series is another doozy and this one brings together accomplished house heads Camille, Chez Damier, and Nico Lahs in a celebration of underground disco classic "through the lens of 60's and 70's underground comix". Similar to these rebellious reads, the tracks on this release carved their niche with purists seeking distinct and thrilling sounds. Across the double album, Camille's contributions include Mystic Pleasure's 'Back Door (Getting Down)' and Cold Fire's 'Badder Than Bad' which both bring soulful melodies and infectious rhythms, Chez Damier adds Fascination's 'Shine My Love' and Bileo's 'You Can Win' with shimmering vocals and funky basslines and together, they make for an exhilarating mix of disco brilliance.

Nico Lahs - After The Rain (Original Mix) [OVM-224]

Poker Flat Recordings drop more summer-defining grooves via the talented Italian new-comer Nico Lahs. Already building a formidable reputation for both his exquisitely produced tracks and his party animal exploits, Nico brings more heat for the clued-up dancefloor with the My Side EP. Kicking off with the epically deep My Side, Nico drops some blissful, twisted, narcotic business - destined for big systems, preferably in the open air. The funky bass line twitches like its been awake way too long, while the whispered vocals ask how far will you go? –Nicos answer is clearly a very long way. Berlins Daniel Dexter provides a slightly tougher rework of the same track, dubbing out some section before smashing home the kick drum once more with devastating effect.Symptoms keeps the vibe going with nicely modulating synths, dub effects and chiming pads. Walking a fine line between tough funk and melancholic deepness is becoming a trademark move for Nico.
