Minimal with a swing. Definitely some interesting tunes to check out. Function One is definitely the best one, very nice atmosphere on that one with some acid influences.

Pleasant listening material from Thinner, but as is common at Thinner, not something really really special. Still, it’s a soothing release which will work in getting you a bit more relaxed when you’re feeling stressed.

Groovy and soulful house on this latest gem from the Bump foot label. Japanese DJ Toshio is a star at making funky house tracks that have a lot of soul. Highly enjoyable, works well on the dancefloor, but also very nice to simply listen to.
(”dj toshio - the turntablist (Bump foot)”)
Very pleasant release with two mixes. The original mix is a breakbeat track which is a bit short but works well. The Beat Doctor remix is even more pleasant, in it’s housey feeling. Will work well on the dancefloor! Only downside to both tracks is the very abrupt ending.

Did I ever mention hard? Säurebad is a new label dedicated to the 303, and you’ll know it. Sascha shows that he knows how to work the 303, but also knows his drum machines. Well done hard house.
(”sascha müller - schlachtfest ep (Säurebad)”)
One of the best DJ mixes I’ve heard ever, with an excellent choice of music (all unreleased according to the Mixotic playlist, which is unfortunate because I’d love to have these tracks individually as well) and well-done mixes. Great variation between banging techno tunes and dreamy electronica.

Very nice minimal house, done with a drive. Tastefully executed in two remixes of the track Nachtleben and zalp’s mix of Schwutzen. Zilp seems to have a more dark, acid influence on things where zalp is more of the minimal, dry sort of music. The combination brings us a nice 3-piece ep ready for the […]
Very minimal techhouse of the sort that does not seem very interesting when listening closely, but which works well in the background and does stick to you. It has a very dry sound which does not work in all tracks, but which does work nicely in some places.
(”diskofreud - post apokalyptische trash studien (labil recordings)”)
Some very hard house for the lovers. Personally, yes, I definitely dig this type of house music. Dark, hard, with an aggresive mood.
(”sascha müller - tales of mystery ep (Gargan records)”)
This release is far more original than a lot of thinner releases, however I still rate it 3/5. Why? The release itself is a lot of the same. It is nice to have good vocals, it is nice to have good music, but if 8 tracks totalling nearly 35 minutes all sound alike, it just […]
