Rubba J aka Jan Costermans debuts on Piston with "The Art Of Doing Nothing". Jan is a product of the oldskool hip hop years and it was during this time that he got a drum machine and guitar and began experimenting. He was searching for funky grooves like that of his peers including Prince, Herbie Hancock and others. His sound gradually changed into deep house and this led to works with other artists and solo releases on labels like, Brique Rouge and Wally's Groove among others.

The Original Mix is a smooth deep house offering filled with warm chords and chirpy sequenced blips. Cool rhythms are built with a nice thud on the kick and a well crafted percussion arrangement backed up by quality bass sounds. The beauty of this track lies within the multi layered synths, top notch stuff.

The Deep House Edit raises the bar with a fantastic array of house sounds gelled together with precision. The intro gives off an understated kick that holds the structure brilliantly, percussions slowly come through alongside some cool and very effective synth shots. Raspy trumpet samples ease the groove along in a fine flowing rhythm. Classic styled percs begin to appear beneath a filtered piano riff as we settle in for a top class ride through house in all its glory.

The Stripped Down Edit is a tougher edged variant with gritty kicks and noisy percussions, the trumpet sample make a return to add a cool dynamic to the track. This one is perfect fodder for those later sets and will surely stand up well on any floor.

Lastly on this release we have a different track entitled "Tree". From the off you get a big sound feel as the drum arrangement fills the spectrum. The superb synth work is a huge feature here and will keep the ear trained as the variations are plenty. Very funky workout in places that will have those asses shaking in no time, a perfect addition to any deep house set.

Russian DJ and producer Valeria Croft is back at Piston with a fine slab of deep house goodness. "Singular/Plural" is her follow up to the collaboration with Lights Electronika which gained support from all quarters.

"Singular" gets us into gear with a smooth grooving deep house vibe. The intro boasts a nice chunky kick with a cool housey synth and percussions build up gently to form a funky rhythm. The bass is minimal here which gives the track a lot of character with vocal samples adding contrast. Very cool track and expertly crafted, great stuff.

"Plural" goes a little deeper and grittier with a much more organic sound. Heavy kicks and crisp hats are the base for a strong and steady rhythmic groove. The bassline takes centre stage as it bounces along with stunning chords providing that house feeling. Again we see vocals applied to the sound beautifully and high pitched strings give a new insight to the track. Top stuff here and a sure fire hit for those deeper sets.

Fantastic chords dominate the sound throughout making this track a serious must have for any set.

"Purple Bouquet" is up next, nice and cool intro with the percussions gaining dominance and solidifying the rhythms. The bassline sits perfectly behind a continuous drone that draws you in ever closer as it transforms its shape. On the short break the track drops right down before the chunky kicks thump us back into this wonderful deep groove, great stuff.

"Broken Piano" rounds up this EP in style. The kicks are punchy and will have any bass bin quaking! The groove builds slowly as the percussions come through alongside a wonderfully lush bassline. Perfectly formed house keys are the big focus with a slight detuning effect suggesting a broken piano as the title professes, this adds huge character to the track and will sit well in any set.
