Review: Attention all DJs seeking that crowd-rocking curveball to get the people freaking out. This cheeky one-sided 12" from Digwah is guaranteed to fly out thanks to its canny sampling of Destiny's Child's "Jumpin' Jumpin'". These iconic hooks are strapped to a rolling minimal tech groove with pattering machine drum beats and a mean bass synth that gets right under your skin. Fun on top, serious underneath, this is one of those unmissable club 12"s that will always do the damage when you want to liven up the party.

Review: Six months ago Laidlaw and Jamie Mannion launched a new offshoot of their beloved Beeyou imprint, Subee. The sub-label's second release showcases cuts from not one by two little-known producers. B0n is at the controls on side A, first delivering the colourful, bassline-driven house bounce of "Bitch Face", before reaching for the squelchy electronics, ear-catching synths and booming sub-bass on "What's That". Over on side B T3x3 delivers two funky fusions of UK garage, tech-house and deep house. "Mother F*cking Sh*t" sees the producer pepper a snappy two-step beat with deep analogue bass, dubbed out tech-house riffs and quirky electronics, while "Baganoush" sounds like an unlikely collaboration between Chez Damier, MJ Cole and Sheffield swingers Swag (look 'em up, kids).

Review: Matthew "Bushwacka!" B may not be as high profile a producer as he once was, but it's worth remembering that he was once one of the leading lights of both the early UK tech-house movement and the recently revived breakbeat house sound. The two tracks featured here touch on both styles in a roundabout way, and were first released way back in 1997. "Traffic Jam" is an insatiable, funk-fuelled peak-time workout that sees the London scene mainstay pepper a vintage, electro-influenced breakbeat house groove with UK garage style bass, fizzing scratch sounds, warm deep house chords and selected vocal samples. "Bus Stop" meanwhile is jaunty and melodious, with chiming, ear-pleasing riffs riding crunchy house drums and the kind of booming bassline that was all the rage in London at the time of recording.

Review: The Mountain People have a cult status amongst minimal house heads for good reason - their approach feeds the scene's finest parties, but they always retain a certain kink in their tracks that deviates from formulaic genre studies. So it goes on this latest drop on their own label, which leads in with a stunning long form track that packs a nuanced groove into the low end and plays with a limber acid line over the top, holding the filter down low and only opening it up at the choicest of moments. There's also some bouncier, swinging monosynth machine funk to be enjoyed, all executed with originality and subtlety - essential ingredients for the best minimal house.

Review: Lisbon-based Frenchman has been one of house music's pin up boys over the last decade. Both solo but also as part of Apollonia, he has toured the world non stop, bringing more tasteful sounds to the masses than you might expect from a DJ of his reputation. He's been busy in the studio cooking up some rare treats for the third release from DDS. "Cosmoscats" is glitchy, twitchy, minimal styled and throwback tech house from the golden era of Terry Francis et al, while "Life In Thundera" is a more direct and tripped out late night house groove.

It's all about the journey within electronic music on this offering with no fixed genre or style. On the A side we have Westmeath's finest stalwart Derek Carr who presents his idiosyncratic style of high fidelity techno soul on the funky "Land Of Oz". On the flip, Cheshire's Antonio Velazquez aka Spin Fidelity provides a good dose of Motor City influenced electro-funk on the futuristic vibe of "Orion".

Review: The debut release of Be Told Lies has finally landed, featuring 4 suspects doing what they do best. First up is Adam Pits of Wex and Holding Hands affiliate, who serves up the bouncy tech house energy "Spooka Troopa" followed by Urulu: the Californian producer is no stranger to the scene and his contribution "Sidecar" further explores his newfound penchant for classic rave and bleep techno charms. On the flip, Anderson sends us into freefall on the evocative acid epic "Julip" while Yushh goes totally off-kilter with the oddball groove of "I'm Fraam Laandaan M9". Be Told Lies, because no one's keeping record.

Review: Shanti Radio has released some incredible music of late, much of it towards the more melodic, atmospheric and positive end of the tech-house spectrum. This four-tracker from MOS neatly fits into this narrative, offering up warming, dreamy and picturesque tracks that effortlessly blur the boundaries between deep house, tech-house and progressive flavours. Opener "Gerda Kay" simply swells with sun-kissed beauty and enveloping melodic intent, as bright lead lines and swirling pads tumble down over a tactile groove. The Afro-tinged "Jalebi" offers stirring strings, toasty chords and locked-in grooves, while "Kama" bubbles along on waves of toe-tapping percussion, choral samples and fluid piano motifs. Rounding things off is "Kauri", another immersive chunk of dancefloor hypnotism rich in positive chord progressions and heartwarming bass.

Review: Following releases by Cuartero, Christian Burkhardt and label chief East End Dubs, it's over to Berlin's favourite son and head of Unison Wax: Diego Krause. As you'd expect, "ENDZ 034" features some surefire main room tackle that rolls tough: from the lean boompty funk of "Fierce", the moody afterhours tech house of "Mere Mortals" - the latter similar to his recent release on Mulen Records to the tripped-out vibes on the utterly hypnotizing "Essence" and the ethereal, sunny afternoon bliss of "Leaving Home" which hammers home the message in a Sunday-at-Club Der Visionaere fashion.

Review: Gottwood residents Krywald & Farrer have been slipping out some choice club wares on digital for a fair few years now, not to mention running the Persies label among many others. But now they make their first appearance on wax for none other than the mighty, prolific Constant Sound. "Landing On Mars" blows open the creativity of these two fast-rising producers in spectacular style, fusing taut drum machine propulsion with loose percussion and cosmically charged synths. "Olympus" is a fair contrast with its gnarly acid line and peppy tempo, while "Pulverise" makes use of a breakbeat to weave something spooky and sinuous in equal measure. "Bump Strasse" finishes things off with some tasteful, dusty deep house for the late morning crew.

Review: Detroit's music history is littered with artists who never got their due props, and Mike 'Agent X' Clark is certainly one of them. His back catalogue is mighty, packed full of gems and rarely aired. Fortunately No Speakers know what's what, and they've invited Clark to drop some serious Motor City firepower on us, leading in with the aptly named pimp-chat-laden slow burner "The Heat". After the stunning original, label boss El Prevost steps up with a crooked drum funk take on the track before Ben Sims slams down a formidable techno jacker of a remix. Peter Rocket completes the set with an acidic breaks version for the wig-out crew.

Review: With some great releases in recent times by Tonnovelle and Robert Dietz aka DJ Disciple, Frankfurt label Osman is back with a serving of retro techno shenanigans by hometown hero Martyne: head of the revered Traffic collective and label out of neighbouring Offenbach am Main. The "EFX/SFX EP" features some solid gear; the tempo of "Loopy Schneider" channels the vibe of late '90s UK breaks by way of electro and acid techno, while the bouncy bleep techno of Berlin's dancefloors can be experienced via "Make My Day" and the neon-lit robot funk of the title track will take you deeper into the afterhours.

Review: This rock solid EP marks a welcome return to action from Pale Blue, a collaborative project featuring Italians Do It Better founder Mike Simonetti and vocalist/artist Elizabeth Wight. In its original form, title track "Breathe" is raw, ghostly and mind-altering, with Wight adding part-sung, part-spoken vocals to a sparse-but-weighty backing track. Lauren Flax brilliantly re-imagines it as a wayward chunk of sparse, off-kilter, acid-flecked deepness, while Olive T delivers a more jacking, forthright take that makes the most of the duo's weighty bassline. Over on side B, clanking machine jam "I Walk Alone At Night" comes accompanied by an even wilder "I Walk Alone With Acid" re-make. The lyrics are wearily on point, with Wight reflecting on a world in which violence towards women is sadly on the rise.

Review: Le Loup makes a debut appearance on the mighty CABARET with some slickly executed rave-indebted workouts. Tightly clipped breakbeat roll, moody stabs and a wriggling acid line all make for party manna on "Real Talk" - certain to be a hit in all kinds of situations. "Digital Whisper" is more Detroit than UK, reveling in a shower of sumptuous synth lines tailored to maximum machine soul expression but with plenty of funk in the programming. "Acropoloup" brings the acid back and ramps up the boompty house vibes for another smart banger to work across the spectrum from minimal house nights to twisted acid sessions.

Review: With promising material emerging in recent years on labels like Mayak, Irenic and Daydream, Dublin-based Noah Skelton is certain to make 2020 his year with the sophomore effort on his own Amour imprint. On the A side we have the dusty jazz bar beats of "Impolite" which somewhat channels that classic St Germain vibe, while the flipside houses the heart warming deep house groove of "Two Truths" skipping along with that sense of swing, boompty bass and some emotive chords for good measure. This one is perfect afterhours tackle which will mix well with anything from the more ethereal side of minimal house by the likes of Joule, Rora or ODE - tip!

Review: The ever reliable German imprint Bondage returns, following some great releases by Sascha Dive, NTFO and Philipp Gonzales, with a killer EP by Ljubljana's Alex Ranerro (Simma Red/MyHouse YourHouse/Blind Vision Dubs) who gets a wicked groove going on "Aura". It's a rolling and heady affair that will appeal to fans of the Rominimal sound, while the warm and ethereal swing-fuelled business of "One To Many" will surely call to mind comparisons to iO (Mulen) or Djebali - but not at all a bad thing! On the flip, the Politics Of Dancing crew inject a good dose of swing into their remix of "Aura", until Ranerro explores the deeper shades of UK tech house on the wonderful closer "Triangular".

Featured are Harry Wills (Osman/Entity London) who serves up some groovy analogue minimal funk on his contribution "Sloshed", while A2 comes from local up and comer Tim Schlockermann (aka U.S. Coin Map) who gives us the utterly infectious "Locked" which you won't be able to get out of your head. On the flip, Mbius of Ethernal fame serves up more of his distinct blend of mesmerising deep house on standout track "Helge Nuch". Good first impressions of the label - tip!

Review: Francesca Mackay is fast becoming a rising star in the underground scene of London. A favourite amongst promoters and DJs alike, her eclectic style and a passion for digging well beyond her 20 years of age has also led to her first release. The cold winter months was the perfect inspo for 'The Inside Out', where broken rhythms and sub bass culture sounds merge with minimal/tech house grooves. Best heard on the hypnotic breaks of "Nine Tens", the electro influenced futurism of "Tao" and the emotive, acid-inflected IDM of "Perelandra" - an impressive debut.

Review: It's now accepted that label anniversary compilations and EPs should be stacked with high-grade cuts, preferably offered up by sizable or notable artists. Even so, there's something extra-special about this first part of Digbeth-based One Records' 10th anniversary EP series. Fittingly, it begins with a fresh cut from label stalwart Subb-an, a suitably heavy chunk of locked-in, early morning techno titled "Sunrise Mood", before continuing via the cut-up breakbeat fills, spacey electronics and warehouse-ready analogue bass of Adam Pits' "Pungent Method". Over on side B, Los Angeles-based Steve Urulu serves up the groovy, percussion-rich deep house/techno fusion of retro-futurist treat "Mollare Qualcuno", while Yamen & Eda drift their way through the deep breakbeat-house shuffle of "Last Dance".

Now, Milan's Dark Groove present this very welcome reissue, with the original A side rework by British legends Salt City Orchestra, who serve up their deeply smooth and sensual perspective, while Walter and Liebing's mesmerising and dub-laden tech house journey is the perfect backdrop for that now legendary (trippy!) monologue atop

Review: Micro Orbit is hardly the most prolific imprint of our times, but the few 12" singles it does release tend to be well worth checking. We'd certainly recommend listening to the Milan-based label's latest double A-side single, which boasts cuts from label boss Zenk and Bucharest-based Botanic Minds regular Direkt. Zenk steps up first with "Lunar Club", an engrossing and hugely enjoyable mix of rolling tech-house grooves, undulating deep space bass, glitchy electronics, mangled spoken word samples and decidedly intergalactic lead lines. Direkt's "Flush" is a little wonkier and more off-kilter in the traditional Romanian minimalist style, with all manner of bizarre samples and strange noises buzzing around a swinging, Villalobos-influenced groove.

Review: A 20th anniversary reissue of Sasu Ripatti's classic from the turn of the millennium. 'Vocalcity' is a milestone release which is unlike his more experimental works as Vladislav Delay, saw Ripatti capture the innovation of the 'micro' sound of the time (popularised by the likes of issuing label Force Tracks and scape) while incorporating elements of dub techno and deep house - with evocative female vocals a constant throughout. From the groovy glitch-funk of "Synkro" to the sexy sophistication of underground classic "Tessio'' or the smooth and sensual slow-burner "She-Center" - it hasn't aged one bit! Hailed by many critics as one of the most seminal and important releases to have come out of the '00s, this is a welcome and much needed repress of a right classic, courtesy of Ripatti's eponymous imprint that has been faithfully remastered.

Review: Even though he's been active for years, Los Angeles-based Adam Dyment aka Duke Dumont has never released a full length before. "Duality", then, is his long-awaited debut and it features a wide variety of moods and grooves, as well as some stylish collaborations. Dumont's infectious take on club music is best heard on the funky house party starter "The Power". Hear the drummer get wicked on the breakbeat energy of "Therapy", in addition to the glassy-eyed and bittersweet slow burner "Let Me Go" featuring RY 'X' Cuming. We should also mention that there's some fine collaborations, such as with house music royalty Roland Clark on "Obey" and R'n'B favourite How to Dress Well on the evocative offering "Together".

Review: French deep house imprint Rutilance reaches its 'Twentieth' release as the name suggests, with four surefire tracks by its label chiefs. On the A side, the ever reliable DJ Steaw hands in two tributes to the sounds of yesteryear: he first captures the classic sound of the Cab Drivers on the tough rolling analogue bounce of "This Kind Of Music", followed by the funky disco loops on "Fat Sherbet". On the flip, co-head Gunnter makes a rare appearance and pushes the envelope harder with his tough rolling and dubby stomper "Wait" and closes it out with the entrancing energy of "Shhhake It" where its sonar bleeps hypnotise you against a backdrop of Todd Terry style 4/4 breakbeats.

Review: The latest missive on fast-rising French label Houseum comes courtesy of self-proclaimed "power-house" maestro Vitess and follows hot on the heels of the producer's fine recent EP on Normandy Records. The Parisian hits the ground running on opener "Tiller", a fine, funk-fuelled fusion of rubbery bass, sweeping chords, smooth beats and bleeping lead lines, before cannily fusing acid house and tech-house tropes on "Continental". Title track "Missed Fly" is a deeper and more spacey-sounding affair powered forward by jaunty acid bass and a rock-solid kick-drum pattern, while "Warm" is a languid, ambient influenced slow jam that's wonderfully bright-eyed and melodious.

Review: The Aussies seem to be going gaga for Rominimal sounds at the moment, particularly on the sunny shores of Sydney. First was the Lokomotiv label and now Unic, who are into their fourth release and it's by Bucharest hero Vlad Arapasu. Formerly one half of Dubsons, he's had a slew of killer releases in recent times for the likes of Eastenderz, Atipic and Subtil. "Vesica Piscis EP" features three typically rolling and hypnotic cuts aimed squarely at main room dancefloors: from the heady and bass-driven banger of the title track on the A side which makes for a sturdy DJ tool across its glorious 10 minute duration. On the flip, it's all about getting weird and trippy at the afterhours on the disorienting "Witchy Ci" while "Colour Map" goes down a lean and dubby route.

Review: Nine months in the making and containing 45 tracks, "Quattro" is the latest from ever-present UK techno titan John Digweed. It is another mammoth project - does he deal in any other kind? - that showcases a broader range of sound than ever across four discs, each of which has its own subtly differing theme. His own atmospheric soundscapes feature next to music from Bedrock mainstays and newbies alike. There is delicate ambient techno, lush progressive house and plenty of cathartic grooves laden with emotion and ready to accompany plenty of hours of self-isolation from morning through noon and night.

Review: Mint Condition blows the dust off a much slept-on classic from the turn of the millennium. This EP was originally released on Scientific Funk back in 2000, featuring James Harrison aka Subfunk's hyperaware hi-tech soul epic "Gulf Of Space" which sounds like Rhythim Is Rhythim on ritalin, but on a hypnotic and more evocative route on the deep groove of "Emenating Soul". On the flip, it's all about Brazilian Mac (Marcus Vinicius) & Brit Rudedog (Mark Poyner) who likewise channel classic Detroit techno funk of the time along the lines of Gary Martin or Random Noise Generation on the driving and bass-driven "Latino Resistance". They then looked to the U.K. sounds of Peacefrog as a reference for the intelligent intergalactic vibes of "Uncle's Lonely Nights".

Mayer returns to his beloved imprint for a new offering entitled "Higher" which is his first original contribution to the label in eight years. This is a playful and uplifting tune with an old school aesthetic, taking its cues from his humble beginnings in Italo disco and early 90's US deep house. This is followed by the moody "Doot Doot" led by its hypnotic jacked vocal, and lastly the brooding dancefloor drama of "Take A Stand For Love" with its roaring Reese bassline tearing through the speakers.
