Thomas Schumacher, VA –Reworks 1 [Electric Ballroom]<br />
First found on Thomas Schumacher’s Patreon, these until now unreleased<br />
versions are now seeing they light of day! His takes on “Rage Control” by Zajon<br />
and “Telegraph” by Mark Porter are full of nervous techno energy. “Konfusion”<br />
by Maketech is taken on next and given a full acid techno makeover. Finally the<br />
original by Maketech rounds things off, and embraces the glitchy electronica<br />
side of heavy techno.<br />

808 State - In yer face (Bicep remixes) [Feel My Bicep]<br />
Dance music superstars Bicep continue their world dominance, headlining arenas and touring<br />
the world. However they still seem to have time to put out some seriously good white label<br />
remixes on their Feel My Bicep imprint. In a nod back to their early days, this set of remixes<br />
had been released with a limited run with little fanfare. Taking on the classic from 808 State,<br />
they cook up two versions. Their first is a trademark steccato basslines and sharp sounding<br />
percussion. Their “Acid Dub” slows the tempo and ups the 303 vibes. Great stuff.<br />

Patrick Topping - Be Sharp Say Nowt [Hot Creations]<br />
The northeast of the UK’s most beloved export after chicken parmos, Patrick Topping<br />
moves away from his own Trick imprint to drop this 2-tracker on Hot Creations. Title<br />
track “Be sharp say nowt” is a peak time house bumper. Punchy drums and a rolling<br />
bassline are combined with a wonderful gospel vocal from LaShun Pace. The flipside<br />
“Track Change” takes us into more experimental territory for Topping, featuring<br />
glitchy 8-bit samples and bouncy percussion. A great reflection of his varied styles.<br />

Raffaele Attanasio - Quaser Ep [Mutual RYTM]<br />
Raffaele Attanasio drops his first EP for nearly two years on SHDW & Obscure Shape's<br />
Mutual Rytm for his 'Quasar' EP. Six tracks showcasing his excellent production styles and<br />
musical tastes. “Quaser” kicks things off and brings the energy, with each track<br />
culminated with the frenetic energy of “Chara”. A great mix of peak time flavours that will<br />
be at home in any dark room late at night. Great stuff.<br />

Matt Prehn - Qualia [Oh So Coy Vinyl]<br />
Having been releasing underground house music for nearly a decade, Matt Prehn arrives<br />
on Oh So Coy Vinyl’s 10th release. With a funky bassline and obscure vocal samples<br />
”Qualia” is one for the DJ with the more avant garde tastes. TMBSH! Brings the funk with<br />
his remix, adding guitars and strings to proceedings, whilst Paul Rudder goes for a more<br />
up-tempo deep house vibe. Finally, Matt brings us “Inunison”, full of deep house energy<br />
and jazzy chords.<br />
