Lost My Dog is the new label which reinforces with its fourth release its status as a true bastion of the sort of pure, bumpy house lunacy purveyed by late, lamented labels like MFF and Classic. Jose Tobar, aka Nonfiction, is resident DJ at Focus, the Orange County club where Derrick Carter is a regular guest, and ‘P Power’ is something of an anthem, which is then taken into further realms of spaced coolness with a trio of stunning remixes. The original plants the female bathroom chart over a funked-up house-vamp peppered with Princey riffage. The remixes come from Atnarko, who’s appeared on 2020 with Basics legend Huggy as Formidable Force and remixed earlier LMD single ‘Hypnotized’ by Daniel Kyo, here throwing melodies and riffs with contagious abandon; YSE, half of Rhythm Plate, responsible for the ‘Bounce Back’ and ‘Not Wot You Got’ for LMD, who uncorks a wigged-out take on the 80s boogie sound. Finally, Nonfiction’s Californian mate Giano, who runs Italiano Recordings, opts for a deep bass-propelled groover. Lost the dog but found a fabulous new label!
