The third part of this fantastic Kuniyuki remix series from Japan’s always on form Mule Musiq label features quite a showcase of talent.This time we have the joy of hearing two of my favorite producers work their magic on these timeless Kuniyuki tracks. Henrik Schwarz & Tony Lionni.
The 2003 (vinyl only) remixes from Âme & Tiefschwarz of “Universal Love” by Trüby Trio Aka Rainer Trüby, Christian Prommer & Roland W. Appel have recently had a digital only reissue. Here we have the fantastic deep vocal workout from Âme.
Stimming’s rework of “Una Pena” is like a breath of fresh air lovely warm summery rhythms work next to tight drums, loose percussion, wood blocks and timbres. He breaks down by introducing Violeta’s mesmerizing singing which comes in and literally takes over the track.
This is one techno package you don’t want to be without this summer, twisted techno at its very best.
Kalabrese goes about remixing Soulphiction’s “Reclap” with a care free attitude, laid back and lovely, it’s casual but strong and tight at the same time.
Shed’s remix is a real beauty he slows things down and adds a delightful shuffled percussion on top of what is already an insatiable groove. Moving along smooth and seductively his remix really does creep up on you it’s more of a raw groove, quite basic but with an enormous amount of dance floor power.That kick drum works really well & has a slightly warm feel. And when put next to that micro percussion it really sets the track of well.
The unofficial [Ral] label continues to bring joy to music heads and trainspotters a like. It’s a safe bet to say if you have either seen the three Romanians or any of the Chileans in the past year you will have more likely than not heard something coming from the [Ral] label.

Two relatively new names, Alex Niggemann and Marc Poppcke, one brand spanking new sub label, [Moonpool] and three solid house tracks including remixes from Agnes & Russ Gabriel.
So were up to the final part of some tried and tested summer tracks that go down a treat when doing it the alfresco way. Here’s five more of my most played summer tracks i hope some of you will enjoy these as much as i have & will be doing later on this summer.
The Fourth part of this quite essential series, “History Elevate’s” See’s Chilean house pioneer & Cadenza label owner, Luciano take to remixing duties, there’s also a Jesse Rose remix on the EP but it’s more a filler than thriller so I’ll be leaving that to the blog house brigade to dissect and hand out to the masses.
Matthias Tanzmann’s album, “Restless” has had the remix treatment, well some of the tracks have maybe it might come in parts like many do when it comes to remixing album tracks, this being the first. Anyway i’ve decided to go with one that i see to be the strongest in the package. Peter Dildo of Mountain People fame, Rozzo etc, etc has done a absolute sterling job on “Swim.
This release is the one that Ripperton was working on during the 9 months of his girlfriend’s pregnancy so quite a special release for the label head of Perspectiv. “Leonors Lanugo” is a beautiful listen full of warmth and melodies it really does make you feel good inside. Putting the cherry on top of this delightful cake is Anders Ilar with a fantastic dub remix. Both tracks are quite essential and both producers show their skills off well.
Giles Smith & Martin “King Roc” Dawson AKA Two Armadillos are on a good roll at the moment with recent releases on Buzzin Fly & another on Four: Twenty not to mention running one of the UK’s best underground house gatherings Secretsundaze, this pair of house heads really know their stuff and it shows extremely well with their latest release Hamlin. Hamlin, which recently dropped on Poker Flat’s sister label Dessous is a solid three tracker which comes complete with a Sascha Dive remix.
Sety is the man behind the ever so slick and always on form French house and techno label Circus Company. Many of you may not have heard of him before as its been a good four years since his last release, but as they say a fine wine matures with age and i think it goes without saying this is one of the finest full bodied releases your going to hear in a long time.
