From the way that it makes you move or the way it makes your head feel, music works its way inside you, demanding listen after listen until you’re hooked. The playlist this week does just that, with hip-hop from either side of the Atlantic, a metronome led piece of disco trickery, an gorgeous nod to Chicago house in the golden days, the sounds of techno pushed through a dubstep rhythm, and a hero of the club scene over the last two years brings us a hot new talent.
The Strong Arm Steady long player ‘In Search of Stoney Jackson’ has its moments, but really memorable tracks were few and far between, this throwback to bygone days when hip-hop was fun and had great sampled beats will make you wanna chill and roll a fat one/Strong Arm Steady-Best of Times feat. Phonte
So prolific right now, Londoner Paul White’s recent output is hard to keep up with, but make the effort because the quality is of the highest order. This typically eccentric sample mash up is out now on Now Again Records/Paul White-Ancient Treasures
Fans of Cosmo Vitelli’s I’m A Cliché label know what to expect here, with the head honcho delivering, under the guise of Bot’Ox, a typically sleazy, bleep heavy, piece of cranking disco. Also available is a rework by Azari & III/Bot’Ox-Blue Steel
If you heard this in a club, you might ask yourself, wow this old piece of Chicago house is well produced for something made back in the day. That is because this track from The Revenge came out this year on their Home Taping Is Killing Music imprint. Fans of Marshall Jefferson or Frankie Knuckles really need to hear this/The Revenge-Forever In Their Debt (Original Mix)
Another great release from Hotflush Recordings, this latest effort from label manager Scuba is perhaps his best yet, sitting somewhere between classic techno of Transmat Records and the funky minimalism of early Doc Scott/Scuba-You Got Me
Scots Clouds have been brought to the club scenes attention by the one and only Fake Blood, a man with a big, brash and heavy club sound hard to match, and this track follows a similar path, destructive kicks underpin a crazy bass line and various horns and whistles, the whole thing perfect for both dancer and DJ/Clouds-Eyes
