Simply great stuff by my favorite Spanish producer done for the Cannes based record label, sublabel of Zebra3. A1 ("Sin Salida") is a beautiful relaxed summer tune, I might say it's a surprise from Leandro because this track is very commercial in terms of acceptability from the 'mainstream' public, but still retains very high standards and... read more

After an album released on Rodeo Gay in 2002, the French quartet Mook (and its remixers Double U & Jan Jelinek) show with this EP their love for genres & sounds fusion. Double bass, organ, guitar or piano are combined with basic rhythms and some soft vocals à la Sascha Funke to build up tracks where minimal house, jazz, electro noisy or downtempo are mixed with delicacy and fitness. Very captivating: check it!!

Again a really good release for the free netlabel Textone which presents us this time the German artist Matt John. 4 longs minimal tracks deserved by a good production and with tons of details.

With this transparent vinyl, the French producer is one more time remixed by big names. With Fafa Monteco, the original deep tech'house track goes hypnotizing and synthetic (vocoder, big synthbass). And with The Youngsters, it turns into a longplayer based on solid progressive techno with some additional ragga samples.
