DEFINITIVE ORIGINAL ACID & DEEP HOUSE 1985 – 1991 – HARMLESS

After much head scratching and chin stroking, Boy’s Own head honcho El Tel, has meticulously and lovingly put together 61 tracks over 5 CD’s. It does what it says on the tin, and it’s an absolute delight for DJ’s, dealers & punters alike. http://youtu.be/qGGnkiRYqD4

This instantly uplifting slice of 21st century soul, with sweet vocals and an irresistible groove, is the outstanding debut release from 17 year old South Londoner Elliott Smith. Stardom beckons. http://youtu.be/jhd4gifS7Po

 

8 (10) TOMAS MORE – THE DAY I SPOKE EP – MY FAVORITE ROBOT

The title cut is a superb slab of first rate techno, that boasts strange sounding off kilter rhythmic patterns, working their way around creepy spoken vocals and atmospheric pads, creating the lure of the serial killer. LSD is not advisable. https://soundcloud.com/my-favorite-robot-records/sets/tomas-more-the-day-i-spoke-ep

 

9 (9) FAIRMONT – AUTOMATON REMIXES 2 – MY FAVORITE ROBOT

PT2 Kicks off with a kooky little number care of Ivan Smagghe & Tim Paris in their It’s A Fine Line guise, as they playfully glitch, ping, nip & tuck Creatures Of The Night, complementing the dead pan vocal to a tee. Nhar floats Sara’s boat on a glistening sea with shimmering Balearicness. The My Favorite Robot team give Waiting some stripped back techno treatment, and Nitin & Clayton Steele bring the remix package to a close with a bit of percussive satanism. https://soundcloud.com/my-favorite-robot-records/fairmont-creatures-of-night-it

 

10 (NEW) LOUIE FRESCO FT. LUNA – AUTOPHOBIA – No.19

The title cut from the Mexican producer’s forthcoming debut LP is an enticing, seductive and mesmerising affair, slowly building with heavy bass, rich atmospherics, subtle percussive dubs and Luna’s enchanting yet slightly tortured vocals. Massive Attack and Portishead would be proud. Art Department and Eric Volta take it to the dancefloor.

 

11 (NEW) X-PRESS 2, HONEY DIJON AND LEO ZERO – KEEP ON / LET IT SLAM – SKINT

Peak time bumping house that has got that certain X-Press 2 magic and then some, sending the floor into overdrive with a vast amount of ear to ear grins and drink spillage.

http://youtu.be/BGsD8vPrxB4

 

12 (7) NUTTY NYS FT. ABE MOLAMU – NKA MO DIRA REMIXES –

MB DISCO

The South African House anthem gets two quality filled European overhauls. Prins Thomas is up first, working a firing rhythm section, that’s not too far removed from Harry Thumann’s 1979 disco classic Underwater, then building with subtle repetitive synth licks le French Kiss style. MB Disco boss Martin Brodin delivers the other mix, keeping the Underwater vibe and adding some nice clattering percussion alongside whooshing sonics. https://soundcloud.com/alchemyremixmanagement/nutty-nys-nka-mo-dira-prins-1

 

13 (16) DAVID LYNCH – THE BIG DREAM – SUNDAY BEST

The legendary film director’s sophomore LP is more complete than his debut, the songs flow together better, they are a bit more out there but in a subtle way, and his vocals have got a certain Daniel Johnston meets Tricky meets Liberace feel about them. Spangled to the max. http://youtu.be/6tTDxSdudNM

 

14 (18) LOUIE FRESCO – NEW HATERATION EP – MEXA

The original mix has got a dark exotic and forbidden Middle Eastern feel, working luring classical guitar, don’t look now synth licks and a fat slithering bass, a bit like getting lost and paranoid in the Souks of Marrakech. MK delivers a booty shakin’ funky bumper of a remix.

 

15 (NEW) MAPS – A.M.A. – MUTE

The dazzling first cut to be lifted from the new LP Vicissitude comes with a nice house mix care of Legowelt, and a dirty low down funky number from The Invisible.

16 (19) NEW ORDER – LIVE AT BESTIVAL 2012 – SUNDAY BEST

Shut your eyes, soak up the atmosphere and jump around the front room as New Order blaze through their blistering live set, which includes a few Joy Division numbers. Your neighbours won’t be happy, unless of course they get an invite. http://youtu.be/wWrAMnDGTx8

 

17 (14) SAMARIS – SAMARIS – ONE LITTLE INDIAN

The debut UK release from an Icelandic band whose speciality is haunting glacial songs that have got a certain Sigur Ros go on a beautiful ethereal journey with Bjork. This LP is made up from their first two EP’s, followed by 4 remixes. A stunning introduction to a very talented and out there new band. http://youtu.be/_pKuzdMFE8k

 

18 (11) PRIMAL SCREAM – INVISIBLE CITY (DANIEL AVERY REMIXES) – IGNITION

Bobby Gillespie sums this up rather nicely: Summer psyche electro. Sounds like ketamine music to me. https://soundcloud.com/danielavery/primal-scream-invisible-city

 

19 (13) DEXTERS – START TO RUN – ACID JAZZ

Hoxton outfit deliver their second single, a crowd pleasing good time guitar number that should see plenty of warm lager flying through the air. http://youtu.be/6zRj2PxbAL4

 

20 (NEW) LOLA COLT – I GET HIGH IF YOU GET HIGH – TOO PURE SINGLES CLUB

Dramatic debut release from London six piece, featuring heavy drums, screeching feedback and snarling female vocals, which have got a certain PJ Harvey meets Julie Driscoll meets Karen O feel. Powerful stuff. http://youtu.be/ie5cHAjK1Z4

 

21 (NEW) SAILOR & I – TOUGH LOVE – BLACK BUTTER

Dramatic rolling toms and soaring strings drive angelic vocals, creating a majestic masterpiece from Stockholm. http://youtu.be/LzSHTEpHg2s

 

22 (15) DEPARTMENT M – THE SECOND PRIZE – TOO PURE SINGLES CLUB

Yet another cutting edge outfit from Leeds, with their second single, a firing on all cylinders electro glam rocker, with sinister synth atmospherics and a hint of trashy disco. http://youtu.be/LjRNtMsIi_w

 

23 (25) GABRIEL MILLER PHILLIPS – ONE FOR THE CROW – WHYTEHOUSE

Debut LP of honest intimate songs with a dark and slightly twisted feel, giving a sense of desperation and isolation. The album was recorded in Brooklyn with an impressive range of musicians that capture and enhance the mood. http://youtu.be/afKSgdvcZ8c

 

24 (NEW) MAJESTY – I CAN TELL EP – AUDIOWHORE

The Carnao Beats Deeps Mix comes up trumps pushing the old school acid house buttons.

 

25 (21) THE SUPERMAN LOVERS – MOMENTS – LA TEBWA

Cute and cuddly blissed out electronics with sunshine strumming and my favourite android vocodered vocals, riding catchy melodies on groovy rhythms. If Air did retro futurist 70’s disco… http://youtu.be/_ctEaK5dL3s
