Gareth Cole is the ambitious Brit who has been carving a name for himself as a purveyor of fine house and techno both as a producer and DJ. 

Here he signs up to Steve Bug’s Sublease Music for three slick and impactful slices of deep, techy house. First up is Signal, a low-slung groover with hypnoic keys, and a thick, rounded bottom end driving the track forward. 

On Courage, the energy is amped somewhat, with plenty of space thanks to the dubby, minimal production. 

Gareth notes “I was very inspired by music and DJ sets from Guy J - there is this sort of hypnotic groove which locks you into the vibe and music. I designed a really nice lead stab on Sylenth which is my go-to synth and it repeats during the majority of the tune and then other elements play around it to keep it interesting”. 

The final track is On The Edge, delving deep into Cole’s roots in techno - slowly building on the groove with extra elements to create a hypnotic, techy atmosphere sure to set dancefloors alight this summer.

The ever prolific Sublease Music puts out another sublime release, this time handing the floor to combined talents of  Markus Homm, Brad Brunner and AG Swifty. 

Markus Homm is a veteran of the house and tech scene, and a regular at some of the scenes’ foundational venues such as Berghain. His collaborators might have less experience, but bring a whole new flavour to the cooking pot. 

"Connected not only through being part of the same booking agency in Romania (Cyclic), but also through the love for grooving underground  Music, we ended up in the Studio In Bukarest for a few days working on some music. This is the outcome of the session, grooving percussions with the rolling baseline and warm chords and stabs." says Homm.

The Big Con is an urgent, driving slice of stripped down house - the jittery percussion adds a tense edge to the hypnotic groove. The track maintains its energy throughout, with some nice variations and shifting melodic elements. 

Sleeping Dogs is also on the pared down vibe, beginning with a tough kick that eventually opens up into a warm, deep roller.

New Zealand’s Dilby has been making waves for some time with his signature take on underground electronic music. 

Working within the parameters of classic house and techno, his sound is a lush amalgam of sounds - groovy, spacy and warm. 

With this release on Sublease Music Dilby flexes his skills - Under your Skin is a rolling deep bomb, with an infectious groove that’s impossible to resist.

Live Free is cut from the same cloth - a slinky, shuffling beat gradually unfurls and is augmented by a deep disco groove with tonnes of class. 

Last up is Dust and Stones - a mite harder than the previous tracks with a driving bassline and a late night basement vibe.

Pornbugs is the alter ego of ‘Sven & Sven’ - two electronic music aficionados that have played together since 2005 - playing and pro- ducing deep-tech house sounds aimed firmly at the dancefloor.

Here with their Echoing In My Mind EP for Sublease Recordings, they are back doing what they do best - making high octane dance music with a touch of class.

The title track is a firing deep tech workout with a clean production and distinctive sound design, enriching the ever present dancefloor tension.

The EP also features two versions of Ramenko - the original is a slinky tech house groover with an irresistible bassline, while Sascha Dive's Soul 2 Soul Remix leans towards a soulful disco house groove while maintaining a strong edge.

Steve Bug teams up once again with long time collaborator Cle for two tracks of elevated house music. 

Hallucinous slips into a slinky groove from the off - a restless baseline interacting with a charming two note string sound and skipping percussion. 

Discrete Circuit takes things a little deeper vibewise, delivering a tight groove and arpeggiated synths that bring a psychedelic rush to the fore. 

The third track is a remix of the title track by Leeni and Danilo Kupfernagel, who merge a firing deep house rhythm track with dubbed out chord stabs and atmospheric pads and vocal samples.

Danny B returns to Sublease Music for his second outing on the label in 2023 with two tracks of sublime deep house. 

The Spanish producer and DJ gives us Nightrider and Undra, both drawn from the same cloth but giving us two different moods. 

Nightrider is a slick, deep excursion into loopy house, with an undulating pad sample providing the tension over a crafty rhythm track. 

Undra is a more driven track - an urgent beat kicks things off before the track builds into a house-y groover, with deep chords and tight drum programming.

Manchester’s Gareth Cole returns to Sublease Music with a three tracker of his signature sound - sitting firmly between deep and tech house.  

4th Time Lucky starts the proceedings - straight ahead house with a soulful twist and melodic chord progressions that situate this somewhere between Chicago and Berlin.  

Focus is up next with a slowly evolving groove that continues to build and build over the duration - maintaining a taut tension perfect for packed floors. 

Humidity rounds off the EP - a shuffling groove sets the tone before a pussating bassline and dubbed out percussion provide the drama and drive.

Markus Homm, the veteran Romanian DJ and producer who now lives in Nürnberg, drops a 3 tracker on the ever dependable Sublease Music.

Cubicle is the perfect summation of Homm’s aesthetic - tight rhythms, heightened tension and precise sound design combining to make the perfect dance floor weapon.

The title track Cubicle builds and builds over its 7 minutes, and drum rolls transition the track into new spaces.

Possession is a deeper cut with floaty synth melodies combining with a powerful bass line and edgy drum track.

Axis, his four track release on Sublease Music gives the world another chance to dive into his richly realized sound world. 

Axis, the title track is a slick deep house cut that weaves in some atmospheres of sunsets (and sunrises) over the med. 

Changes is a touch techier, building around a hypnotic groove and bubbling bassline. Various vocal snippets and melodies round out the sound to create a mesmerizing result. 

Kalerg is another excursion into the deep. Rolling and groovy, with subtle filtering and effects adding dynamics and tension.

Ross Kiser steps up for Sublease Music with two new down-and-dirty tracks that reflect the maturing of his sound over the last few years. 

The US-based artist set out to make a darker, minimal EP highlighting synth work and textures to create groove and atmosphere, and succeeded completely.  

Catacombs is a deep and dark rolling joint that foregrounds intricate synths and sounds over drums and percussion. As Ross explains, “I wanted to create a sense of tension and release that not only worked in a groovy sense but also for the dancefloor. I chose and created sounds that in my ears had power and depth, and I’m super happy with the end result.” 

Next up is Differently which uses a similar sound palette but with a slightly more house-y result. Again Ross breaks down his thinking; “It has a slightly housier (deep) and groovier feel to it, featuring a more melodic bassline that is meant to get you moving. I love playing with vocals and so when I found the “hook” or the simple yet elegant “Differently” vocal stab, it immediately worked and sat nice in the mix”. 

Nürnberg based Markus Homm rounds off the EP with a stripped down and even deeper remix of Catacombs.

Montreal based DJ and producer Ostrich debuts on Sublease Music with a double a-side release. Ostrich has already carved a path as a DJ and producer, pushing a minimalistic sound that pulls from downtempo, dub, deep house and techno.

Double Dribble, the title track provides an infectious bassline and airy pads floating on a super tight rhyhtm-section.

In contrast, his second track, Too Dumb To Succumb The Drum focusses on a driving multi layered drum pattern with a wobbling bass and synthie stabs winding their way through, before turning into a futuristic deep house cut.

London based James Dexter returns to Sublease for a stellar remix of Double Dribble. Synth-melodies and housey pads ride on a seriously heavy punching beat setting.

Sublease Music proudly welcomes Vincenzo, one of the longest serving producers on the house circuit, with Assassin, a slinky, deep and rolling house cut. 

The title track builds around a snaking bassline, with sharp percussions adding the groove before lush pads add the texture to the groove.

Amiable Romanian producer and DJ  Mihai Popoviciu pops by to add his own take - more driving and functional - this is late night basement music. 

The third track is No Time To Explain - another rolling bassline and tight drum groove add the anchor for the crisp percussion and deep chords.
