Nuhar Mute’s “Goal EP” is really an amazing debut release for Luca Rosacuta. With its catchy Italian rhythms, jerky syncopation and truly current sound selection, this minimal 3 pack has the production quality and uniqueness of sound to fit right in next to more well-known producers of this genre.

From the chunky jackin’ beats of Goal, through the snapp..

The Deamau5 remix<..

BEEF records gives a fresh new look at Deepchild's "Fractures."

The Basek First Aid Remix starts with an interesting vocal onset, before sweeping into a real minimal and techy feel. It's a fresh new sound and the bass glides with real swing.

Next up is the Nop Remix, which is dark and melodic, having real character. I like how the melody..

This two tracker by UK artist High Torque, released last week on Copenhagen’s prolific Loopfreaks Black label, demonstrates a number of quality production techniques, showing serious potential.

While I do like the bouncing syncopated percussion on this one, I find the main synth concept a little simple, with its pumping plucky leads and trancey hoover pads pro..

Nuhar records are certainly pumping out the releases this year and seem to maintaining a high standard Im pleased to say.

This techouse release entitled 'Juglo' comes from Paolo Driver and Roby J.
The orginal is built around a tight groove and rather sweet baseline. It's a track that has a great urgency and drive and the drops all work really well.

On re..

Elliot Wright returns with a third release on SINsation Sound with two mixes here on a track called 'Intervention'.

The original is a deep affair that has its sights set on an afterhours vibe. Plenty of edgy tech house and clicky sounds sit on top of a extremely deep kick drum that drives the track along nicely. Very atmospheric and trippy with some nice edits to kee..

As a somewhat disappointing follow up to "Space Camp," Djak Unit and Kickroach present "Morning Glories." The eight new tracks are hit or miss, but with a respectable use of vocal samples.

Morning Glory unfortunately doesn’t have much appeal with its super-basic percussion. It does however have some appealing progressive bass elements and a verbed-up sp..

German House producer Argy and Poker Flat Recordings present “Focus On: Argy,” a compilation mix of Argy’s own work and collaborations.

While German House at the moment seems to rely mainly on heavily filtered and dubbed out samples, there is still a decent amount of variety to “Focus On: Argy.” Some tracks have that classic jackin’ house feel, while others tu..

Brandon A. Godfrey pounds us with a banging tune entitled Yet Again on his very own Stainless Digital out of Las Vegas. The label, since its inception toward the end of '07 has had a busy schedule and this seems to be the 13th release.

The sound is like a metallic Deadmau5. You are not hit so much with the melody, though it's almost as if the tones are..
