HENRIKU レコード& CD

Review: Oslo-based Det Gode Selskab, like many labels from the Scandi-region, has its own distinctive take on house - it's lush, melody-rich and cosmic with plenty of dynamic drum work. Berlin-based Norwegian Henriku is next up to bring his own sounds into their world, and this atmospheric house and minimal exploration is hella impressive. 'I Do' works the floor into a steamy and hot house lather, 'Rush Fantasy' then gets a little twisted and freaky for later in the night and 'Pillow Talk' leans into a dusty Detroit house vibe. 'Nicotine 4 U' might be the best of the lot - a fluid bit of afterparty house with irresistible drums and warped neon lines.

Review: TBH present the first release in their sure-to-become-massive catalogue - TBH001 - welcoming Berlin-based DJ and producers Alexander Skancke, Foehn, Jerome, and Henriku to the fold. A worthy contemporary release to the foursome's various solo efforts - such Skancke's own bombs dropped by his own label Quirk - the foursome deliver a four-track array of pristine minimal/garage house shreddage here, whether that be amid the warming pads of 'Houban' or the more percussion-led 'Lio' and 'Ponm'. TBH, we think this one's pretty damn good.
