This one is dedicated to all the groovers of the house nation. 12 months of work for 12 rumbling, funky-fuelled original tracks. This is what Reelow's 'Decompression' LP is all about, the groove.

With releases to date via the likes of Desolat, Solid Grooves, and Tamango Records, alongside his blossoming imprint Reecords, the Hungarian-born Barcelona-based DJ and producer is a real handyman. In fact, he has recorded every instrument by himself for his debut LP including piano, trumpet, saxophone. percs, Cajon, vocals, basically everything that needed to stay true to the label's name and the motto 'Reecord'.

Title cut 'Feel The Same' kicks things off with a delicious vocal that winds between pounding kicks, jazzy strings, and skittering drums to offer up a lively EP opener, make way for the next two tracks to shiny in all their more stripped-back and filthy aura.

Thus come 'True', 'Confiance' (feat Kit Chu Dub and Charlotte Debout), and LP-title track 'Decompression': three warping fashion tunes designed for the dancefloor as mighty synths and fluttering vocal interjections combine with Reelow's trademark pressing groove structure.

At the turning point of the album sits 'Stranger Things' featuring bubbling bassline and twisted chords to which follows the exceptional groovy numbers 'Hungarian Cartel' and 'Sauna Sonata', responsible to bring the listener down to earth before flying into space again with 'Days Of Saturn', a real club weapon designed to melt the crowd with all Reelow's arsenal, as the track features hefty low frequencies, splashes of sax, and hi-tension vocals.

Rounding out the package, the sparkling 'Fade To Gray' welcomes a dynamic drum workout as skittering and shuffling hats meet pop-ish strings and infectious vocals, leaving to the slower 'Rest In Beats' the duty of closing the album with slaps of real bassline, fuzzy synths, and charming strings over a compelling 118 laid-back beat that really, decompresses.

Richy Ahmed’s Four Thirty Two label fires back into action this Spring, with a mouthwatering collaboration between the label head honcho, and Jamie Jones, who needs no introduction.  The release comes backed with remixes from house music stalwarts, Butch, and Ray Mono.

With a friendship and professional relationship that goes back years, Richy Ahmed and Jamie Jones have often paired up and sparred with each other, via ping pong-ing releases on the Hot Creations label, B2B DJ sets in Ibiza and beyond, to studio collaborations.  Incredibly, these brace of tracks are the first officially released ‘fruits of their labour’ when it comes to their joint productions, and it’s most definitely worth the wait.

Entering stage left, ‘More Energy’ comes at a time when we’ve never needed it more; a rattling and spirited house groove and a playful organ riff lay the foundations for this industrious track, as the spoken refrains (from Richy Ahmed no less) comes as a call to arms and sealing off this bright and good times club cut.  Likewise, energy levels are maintained on ‘I Need It’; banging house piano chops over an diligent 909 drum pattern, laced with rousing strings and female vox, it’s the sort of track that two seasoned pros like Ahmed & Jones are so good out carving out.

Two remixes of ‘I Need It’ are offered up here.  Butch (Running Back/Hot Creations) serves up a seductive and breezy percussive version, featuring the kind of floating deepness that perfectly soundtracks sunsets and sunrises, whilst rising UK talent,  Ray Mono, functions a groovy and swinging minimal remix that echoes the sweet sounds he’s been delivering for labels like Ben Rau’s META imprint and Deeperfect Records.

An all-star cast tastefully assembled then for another stellar release on Four Thirty Two.
