Rudolf C - Totally Refracted (TSOL 003)

For this striking 7th EP, we are lucky to have Mr. Ho back for another massive delivery. This time complete with fully versatile house music.

A1 “Burrow” storms out the gate with an acid attack. The spooky bassline, punchy drums, and acidic atmosphere makes this the complete peak time bomb. Then the EP smoothly roles into the A2, “TCB”. A loopy, repetitive drum pattern that is guaranteed to feature for many on repeat mode. For B1’s “Shoplift” Mr. Ho brings out the melody. This is a feel-good tune featuring an old school jungle-like drum pattern that makes this a great summer outdoor weapon. Finally, Mr. Ho's Klasse Wreck partner in crime Luca Locazono provides a silkier twist on “Shoplift” for a vinyl only remix.    

This EP provides a whole spectrum of tools for house heads. Groovy, melodic, banging, or loopy, Mr. Ho has got them all covered.

PREMIERE⚡️Mr. Ho - Shoplift [JIN]

Bassam is again landing at the Distrikt Paris label, this time with a huge piece of work, his first album, called “Clockwise Rhapsody”. Genre-defying, as we’ve been promised already, knowing his versatility. Well, let’s check if that’s true. [continue reading at...

Premiere: C2 - Bassam - Panorama Vision (Jamal Wink) [DKTP05]

R$N Records sub-label, Insult to Injury, has a delectable new offering of assorted bangers, in the form of various remixes from Timothy Clerkin’s Fading EP. Employing the inimitable talents of some of the underground’s finest producers, the diverse package has something for every occasion!

Mute Records very own Maps takes the Fading elements and spins them into something new: simultaneously beautifully histrionic yet understated. The analogue machines get a breathless workout here, as dramatic chords build, arpeggios dart and dive and we are left panting on the floor.
