Revisiting rather than reviving this often overlooked number from the past is always refreshing to experience. That and the fact that the original 1986 version remains intact testifying to the strength of the song plus its vocal delivery, alongside the proud production by other vital figures in House history: Boyd Jarvis and Timmy Regisford, while

Reaching release 21 is the pun in title that shouldn’t detract you. Because this is a first-rate piece of music that boasts not only the ultra-cool, reaching depths others can’t reach, Fender Rhodes but also an amalgamation breezy trumpet blasts all over the course of smouldering drums and bass on Dream. Happy Hour, proceeds with

It suddenly struck me that the use of generic terms to describe much of the music I share with you is completely pointless. In my book that’s pretty much an essential attribute as it’s the music that tears the edges of the page which often proves to be the most absorbing. And that’s what I

Finding a location on King Street’s sister imprint Beartrax delivers two equally fine pieces of music that sit comfortably with Nitegrooves more probing sounds. Underpinning it all are a set of fuzzy electronics that set the mood for the flourish of live Violin which in this case adds a genuinely rich quality to the music

Kindisch once again excite and tantalise with their latest release from Florence based artist Giorgia Angiuli. You could almost say this, and tracks around like it, make a return to more interesting music than the conforming constraints of Disco cliques combining intriguing influences together with vibrant instrumentation, fizzy electronics and importantly vocals in the
