BRAWTHER レコード& CD

Review: Given the deep, dreamy and luscious sound of his productions, it's perhaps unsurprising that Brawther has been a regular contributor to Chez Damier and Ron Trent's Balance imprint. As Endless neatly proves, the Parisian producer has provided the label with some tremendous music since 2009, much of which could pass as authentic Damier material. The latter makes an appearance on the wonderful title track, but his trademark sound - fluid, quietly soulful, bumpin', hazy and dancefloor friendly - can be heard throughout this essential retrospective. Naturally, there's more than a little Trent flavour to some of the cuts, too - in particular the enveloping pads and twinkling pianos of "VXVXVX" - making this a sublime collection of sumptuous, ultra-deep house.

Review: Following on from his recent BL16 release, Leeds based, French DJ Brawther is set to celebrate his five-year relationship with the imprint via a very special triple vinyl + CD release titled "Endless". Comprising a selection of highly in-demand tracks and a previously unreleased remix spanning from his early beginnings in 2009 until today, the release provides a fitting retrospective account of key highlights of the frenchman. "Endless" pays homage to the special relationship built over the years between Brawther and Chez Damier, one of House music's most inspiring souls and boss of Balance Recordings . Hand in hand, they have planned and programmed every single record together prior to this finale, with total freedom and trust for which "Endless" is the shining result. This master to disciple story embodies the true meaning behind the title "Endless", that of a life experience that flows ceaselessly from one generation to the next.

Review: Chez Damier's Golden Child is back with 3 brand new slammin tracks straight out of the deep depths of dance music. This special limited edition release shelters some of Brawther's most innovative and forward thinking music, yet retaining that timeless and classic touch that the frenchman is known for. While the A side's "Come Inside" draws you into it's realm and pounds you harder and deeper, the B side's "VXVXVX" versions take you on a rotating journey inside brawther's mind. There will be no repress of this collector's edition so snap it while you can or cry like a baby.

Sushitech's anniversary celebrations are centring around label boss Yossi Amoyal's impeccably curated compilation Fluere. Across a series of 12"s, Amoyal taps up big hitters and deep cover reaches alike to present something of a summation of the inspiration behind his fantastic label's sound. On here you get Jan Jelinek's experimental excursions as GES, Mathew Jonson's evergreen 'Freedom Engine', dynamic tech house from Brawther and shimmering beatless pulses from Benjamin Brunn. It's a unique approach that juxtaposes club tracks and experimental fare in an interesting way, and the quality remains infallibly high throughout.
