As we get used to seeing that big yellow thing in the sky they call the sun, things are heating up and the tunes are getting hot.
First up is the glorious melodic house of Kim Brown and Wisdom Is A Dance on Just Another Beat. Beguiling, beautiful and highly addictive, this collection of glistening chords and subtle strings will see you right. As will the effortless brilliance of Rodion’s Generator on Nein Records with its wonderful electronica, the understated dub that is AMJ Meets RSD’s Sky Blue Love on Astar Artes Recordings and the cool of Chris Coco’s How To Disappear Completely on Disappear. The Balearic master returns and it is perfection.
If you want your house jumping then it has to be the Miami 2016 Sampler from Knee Deep In Sound. Thunderous indeed. Other wonders destined to keep your tail wagging this month include the hypnotic house and techno of Permanent Vacation: Selected Label Works 5 on Permanent Vacation, the genius of Al Dobson Jr. and his epic Rye Lane Vol. II & III on Rhythm Section and the delights of Guts’ Eternal on Heavenly Sweetness with its fine distribution of funk, soul, rap, Cuban, African and Russian sounds.
As for our must-plays this month? First grab yourself our Home Service favourite Casino Times and their exquisite debut Familiar Choices on WOLF Music, then head Tom Ellis’ way to indulge some soul absorbing grooves from his From the Cabin Above the Clouds, released on Brighton’s very own Black Key Records. Finally get up a sweat of the cool kind with Matthias Meyer and his compilation Watergate 20 on Watergate. Passionate house and techno you’ll fall for within one play. Enjoy.
