Martinez functions as a venerable chameleon of deep house, not because his point of view drastically shifts from tune to tune, but because his productions are moments of metamorphosis wrapped in sleek pulses. The Paradigm Shift is filled with colors that change before your ears only to settle within a steady thump.

This is the record Jamiroquai heard in their dreams. This is the invincible ghost of KC & the Sunshine Band, come to haunt the shit out of the old disco house. It’s got my favorite fill in recent memory (a piano contortion 1:08 into “Mozambiquetravelplan”); it’s got “Continental Lover,” the confident single whose three-chord lead will be as recognizable as Beethoven’s “dun-dun-dun-dunnn” come Labor Day.

This 45 from Joe over at Hessle is one of those summer set and satchel expanders. They are rhythm and percussion crunchers that pop and bang out some off-beat funk without the tired loops and predictable textures of other such releases. 

"Hard Time to Travel EP" is the second release on Bloody Mary's new label, Dame Music, bringing together two producers on the rise.

By far Teej's biggest release is his full length album off of the ReKids label. With a fusion of his vocals and slick minimal tech-house, Evening Harvest offers an eclectic mix, and occasionally refinement, of his trademark 'minimal soul' style.

To celebrate their ongoing operations, Caulfield and Exercise One have collaborated to create the 10 Year Tango EP. The EP follows a sort of mirror format in which the two remix each other’s tracks, included are the originals for good measure.

Appleblim and Al Tourettes bring us a potent collection of bass heavy and harmonically molten songs that blend the boundaries of genre expectations. 

American-born Berliner Tim Xavier has attempted to capture the soul of the viper fish in his first full length album, Viper Fish, after spending more than a decade underground as a producer and musical engineer.
