4 big ol’ chunks of heavy house music are the order of the day from New York producer Ralph Session’s hot new EP for Black Jukebox. Combining his skills as a musician and seasoned DJ along with the technical know-how from his work as an audio engineer, the result is a collection of beautifully crafted, hard-hitting house cutz.
‘That Raw’ features a breathy spoken-word vocal from DJ Amir—one half of the legendary duo Kon & Amir—that laces the soulful, deep production with a hypnotic atmosphere. Thick bass bubbles beneath soaring strings and meandering synth arpeggios to give the track a set-building, big-room feel. ‘Do It’ rocks jaunty snatches of piano and sax over its peppy, skippy beat, with a little New Jersey feel in its incessant, phat-bottomed grove. ‘If You Want’ takes us into a deeper direction with its hazy pad work and dubby touches, with a slinky, rubbery bass groove that throbs hard beneath it all. Turn it up loud and feel it envelop you with its wide-open atmospherics. ‘Raw Sax’ rounds off with a dusty, skipping drum track shuffling around dreamy filtering synths, dubbed-out stab patterns and of course a sultry sax line.

Mr. Fowks (aka Guillermo Omar Foulkes) is a deep house and deep tech producer from Argentina, who draws inspiration from some of the greats, mixing chunky beats with bewitching melodies. 

For this EP on Sublease, Mr. Fowks has opened up his style considerably, and dived into a new artistic awakening. The man himself describes it like this “this Ep is the beginning of something new in my artistic life, I feel that I am a caterpillar that is starting to break the shell to become something new. In my sound a revolution is coming and I hope to give my best effort and surprise in the best way”.

Kicking off with Dirty Dishes, Fowks brings us a fairly classic sounding deep tech track with a strong beat and nice 90s style stabs and ambience -  “a beautiful track to start the uplifting from the warm-up to more ‘main room’ tracks”, as Fowks puts it. 

Those main tracks are ADSR and I'm Back. 
ADSR utilizes a thick kick with a randomized production technique that throws up some highly interesting melodic sequences. “The concept comes from minimal, but the amount of melodies makes you feel in a progressive house song. I'm hoping to make the dancefloor a bit melodic but without leaving the heavy beats and solid grooves”, explains Fowks. 
 
I'm Back is where the main sentimental idea of the EP is found. Fowks describes it wanting to tell “everyone about the moment I feel I'm going through, this idea that "I'm back" with my basses, my rhythm and new ideas. In this song I also try to get the bass to reach our hips and that simply the dance floor does not want to control itself and dive into a powerful groove”.

The 'Psychonautics' EP by Audiojack features three original tracks all bringing a slightly different house flavour. We have the premiere of 'Psychonauts' and this is the heaviest of the three.

It's a tech-house roller if we've ever heard one and it uses deep bass undercurrents, vocal cuts and a focused drive to create a dancefloor-focused track. It's more of the high-quality same from Audiojack and one you're sure to hear out very soon.

A-Bril - You still there (Original mix)

Former Bar25 resident, acclaimed DJ and producer and Sender Records boss Benno Blome is back with a brand new EP that features two of his originals and two fine remixes from Okain Haus and Mihai Popoviciu.
Benno Blome is a boundary pusher who always diversifies with each new release and every DJ set. He has put out great EPs like Braitbendnoodles and the opulent after-hour head-movie "Eramina" and here impresses with a deep and infectious house sound. 
Opener Abotha is a nice and steamy cut with soulful pads layered up over soft rubber beats. Little melodic hooks pull you in and vocal murmuring add a steamy sense of human emotion. 

Romanian Mihai Popoviciu has had great success either solo or with the likes of Jay Bliss and has released on labels including Fear Of Flying, Hudd Traxx, Bang Bang and Diynamic. His remix here is slightly more uptempo and slick, with simmering and shimmying chords rolling over the face of the infectious beats. 

Also remixing is Frenchman Okain, who is a Fabric and Watergate regular and who puts out music on BPitch Control, Cadenza and many others. His version of Abotha is more tech, stripped out and freewheeling, with airy hi hats and thin synth lines meandering about to really hypnotise mind, body and soul. 

Benno’s other original is LED, another syrupy, gloopy, perfectly soft and inviting, warm and romantic house groove with gentle synth stabs, smeared pads and lots of late night soul in its bones. Great vocals again act as a nice human hook and it doesn’t take much to imagine the floor going wild for this one. Once again then Benno Blome proves he is a talented producer with many great ideas and more than the skills to pull them off.
