Mr Raoul K - Still Living in Slavery - Pt. 2 (Boabab Music)
Two part sampler releases going live before the album to be issued in September. Head straight to the Sen Kela remix by Ron Trent.
Chieko Kinbara Feat. Josh Milan - Just Like Love 'Louie Vega Remix' (Vega Records)
I am sure that Louie Vega could not help himself in remixing what I call the song of the year.
Snuff Crew - Love Hurts EP (What Ever Not)
Number five for Italian label What Ever Not who continues its journey and issues this new three track plus a remix extended player. This time What Ever Not heads to Germany with producers Snuff Crew producing this release, and remix duty for the title track handed over to the Dutch Morning Factory. Chicago Vibes!
Riverside Sandman ft Jeremy Ellis - Into Your Story 'Kai Alce Distinctive Vocal' (Fast Forward)
Kai Alce adds magic to a great vocal.

Nicola Marano - No More Love (Batti Batti) PROMO
Yes! Its a pity that this release is only available in digital as in my opinion this is awesomely good and also deserves a vinyl outing. Three versions which are the massive original, a deep Nasty Boy remix, and the Maltese masters Owen Jay and Melchior Sultana who swing things up to more jazzy atmospheres. The advantage of digital here is that you can burn two compact discs or integrate your USB and stay mixing this in and out with all the versions.
Dodi Palese - Greeting From The Solar Systems Remix (Engrave Ltd)
A simultaneous vinyl and digital release, with three tracks from Dodi's 2013 release album receiving remix duties by; Marcello Napoletano, Myk Derill, Musumeci, and Owen Jay and Melchior Sultana.

South African, Pretoria native Leotone continues to push his sounds and label with constant new releases which always deserve a second hearing. Here I like the other track Tell Them and its broken beat version Leotone Jazz Maestro Style.
Shinno Blackk - Long Time (New Generation Records)
Shino uses the vocal from Ralph Falcon's produced The Fog 'Been a Long Time' and adds new deep atmospheres.
Grassroots - United Over Ukraine (Grassroots)
The music is always united in difficult times, and deep and underground music has done this all over again so many times. Famous and less so unite for Ukraine presenting fifteen quality underground tracks. Vakula, Perc, Dustin Zahn, Murat Tepeli are some of known names in this compilation.
Detroit Swindle feat. Mayerhawthorne - 64 Ways The Remixes (Dirt Crew Recordings)
Kerri Kaoz Chandler makes a masterful remix of 64 ways. Good to see Mr. Chandler back in full swing.
Rundom Uolk - Loveintake (Rundom Uolk)
To me he is unknown, who brings the above single release. Loveintake is a nice eight minute quality deep house tune filled with a Balearic sound touch. He has also some interesting stuff on his SoundCloud page which you can check out.
Gari Romalis - Here and Now EP (Bosconi Records)
The highly rated Bosconi records does it again with Detroit man Gari Romalis who presents a four track extended player. Simultaneous vinyl and digital release.
Miltiades - Stmete EP (Echovolt)

D'Marc Cantu - Long Weekend (M>O>S Delsin)
I like the title track 'Long Weekend'.

various artists - Four Seasons Vol.4 (Got2Go) PROMO
For me this is definitely the best of the Four Seasons series and without taking nothing away from the previous three volumes, Volume four really sets a high bar at Got2Go to follow. Volume Four features different tracks by four producers who are on the upswing of things in recent times; Chicago always getting better Ricardo Miranda, France man Life Recorder, West coast from the USA Santiago Salazar, and last Myles Serge. Vinyl only release which I suggest to put your hands when is out.
Luv Jam - Blyp EP (Needa) PROMO
Needa goes on its third release with a strong outing which differently to the previous two, is a deep house number with a more electronic feel to it. For this extended player Luv Jam present two tracks; Anti Tracksuit Party and Over Draught Facility. The remixes of the two tunes which I prefer to the original come from Gnork who adds a non stop acid loop trip to Anti Tracksuit Party, and Vernon Dixon which creates darker moods adding old school sounds to Over Draught Facility.
Gustavo Andres - In Its Spell (Sound Black Recordings)
Ms Lady Blacktronica label Sound Black Recordings presents the Swedish Gustavo Andres producer debut album In Its Spell. In this all deep house music album Gustavo presents eleven different tunes, plus an extra remix by Chris Mitchell to Saturday. Vocal collaborations by AkuaRising, and Adeaze.
Andy Compton - What You See EP (Peng)
Another deep and soul nice four track extended player from Andy Compton.
Denny Loco feat F.O.N. - Think About It (Gospell Plus)
Italian production that has a certain late nineties influence to it, with a groovy vocal and piano hook showing modern and cleaner production works.
0101 - Try to Kuchuka (Sorry For This Records)
Got this on vinyl earlier this year. Now Sorry For This Records presents the digital format version with the two tunes Try To Say and Kuchuka. No digital for the Glenn Underground and Boo Williams remix of Try To Say, which for me was the best on the wax.
Janis - Parental Advisory House (House Is OK)
I like the track Ensoniq Youth.
Melohman - El Camino EP (unquantize)
Nice Afro trip in this one which sets the mood up. Original, two remixes, and an extra track La Clave in this extended player. My preferred is the remix by Vibe and Espinoza of El Camino.
Deejaykul - Feeling Good (Basic Fingers)
Two nice versions in this very nice release with a very nice deep style vocal hook.
Sean Ray - Deep 454 (Bulletdodge)
Remix by MGUN a trip to take in a border line techno deep house production.
Atjazz - Does This Qualify? (Atjazz Record Company)
Three different track extended player. My preferred is the title track to which I reply, it did.
Glenn Underground ft. Charles Matlock - The Ism's (Strictly Jaz Unit Muzic)
A strong message on the state affairs of most of the global club music scene in this one. Plus the original are nice remixes by other Chicago Legends; Lil Louis who is not remixing much in recent years, and Anthony Nicholson.
Amoeba Mixtape Series - Vol.3 (Amoeba Label)
Eleven tracks coming from the back catalog of this label. My favorite is the one from the Spanish Chembass 'Australian Boy' released in 2011 on the five year celebration compilation of the same label.
various artists - Selection 2010-2012 (Remote UK)
Eleven different tracks by six different artist plus a remix from this very good Nottingham based British label. D O M, Ed Maddams, Fulbert, Remote People, Arthur Jnr, and Toni Be here in remix duties are the producers featured in this compilation which is a pity it did not feature a press on vinyl. I consider this one very good with a nice variety of deep moody tracks.

The sixth release of Odd Socks looks back, picking four previous released tracks and remixing them. New mix duties by Max Greaf, Imyrmind, James Creed, and Josh T.
Chieko Kinbara feat. Josh Milan - Just Like Love 2 (King Street)
The second series of mixes to this beautiful song performed by half of the legendary Blaze; Josh Milan with Chieko bringing magic from its violin. The many seem to prefer the Charles Webster mix, but for me is all about the musical Josh Milan Original mix.
Story - 007 (Story)
The Story series continues its deep journey. This time around its XDB who presents three deep trip and atmospheric tracks which border into techno territory.
Steve Huerta - Smoky EP (Manucci's Mistress)
Generic deep in this two track extended player from this British label who is enjoying a success in recent times. I like the pad driven Adrift.

Two of these have been on the rising in recent times; Arnaldo and Anaxander, while label boss Ben Boe makes his solo producing debut, presenting my favorite track of this release 'Low Rider'.
Los Hermanos - Descendants of the Resistance (GMI)
The title shows the roots of this highly respected Detroit production team. This latest album was officially released in Summer 2013 as a CD, and now gets the download purchase availability. Amazing!
Ikenga Project Carolyn Harding - Snow EP (Sound Kemystry)
Sound Kemystry is owned by Lady Blacktronica what is a sub-label to Sound Black recordings. Four mixes of Snow, and two other tracks 'Bullshit' and 'Ancestral Channels'.

Workz on Dope is a moving deep tune with a nice drive.
various artists - Remixes 1 (Odd Socks)
The sixth release of Odd Socks looks back, picking four previous released tracks and remixing them. New mix duties by Max Greaf, Imyrmind, James Creed, and Josh T.
Chieko Kinbara feat. Josh Milan - Just Like Love 2 (King Street)
The second series of mixes to this beautiful song performed by half of the legendary Blaze; Josh Milan with Chieko bringing magic from its violin. The many seem to prefer the Charles Webster mix, but for me is all about the musical Josh Milan Original mix.
Story - 007 (Story)
The Story series continues its deep journey. This time around its XDB who presents three deep trip and atmospheric tracks which border into techno territory.
Steve Huerta - Smoky EP (Manucci's Mistress)
Generic deep in this two track extended player from this British label who is enjoying a success in recent times. I like the pad driven Adrift.
various artists - Halal Prepared Vol.2 (Boe Recordings)
After four years Boe Recordings presents Vol.2 of the Halal Prepared which here presents three different artists. Two of these have been on the rising in recent times; Arnaldo and Anaxander, while label boss Ben Boe makes his solo producing debut, presenting my favorite track of this release 'Low Rider'.
Los Hermanos - Descendants of the Resistance (GMI)
The title shows the roots of this highly respected Detroit production team. This latest album was officially released in Summer 2013 as a CD, and now gets the download purchase availability. Amazing!
Ikenga Project Carolyn Harding - Snow EP (Sound Kemystry)
Sound Kemystry is owned by Lady Blacktronica what is a sub-label to Sound Black recordings. Four mixes of Snow, and two other tracks 'Bullshit' and 'Ancestral Channels'.
Toto Chiavetta - Where Is Love Gone, Per Alm - Universal Drum Collection (Vialocal)
Two nice releases from the US label Vialocal.
Andy Compton - Ubutu (Peng)
Nice album from the Peng boss, who presents eleven tracks in which he explores deep sounds in diverse soulful, down-tempo, r'n'b, and Afro styles.
Baker and Helm - Lost Reels (Remote UK)
Remote from the UK continues to bring quality. Here is three lost reels from Baker and Helm all with that old school Chicago vibe to them.
Tim Piano and Tiff - Back In The Situation (Mussen Project Records)
In recent releases Whim-ee has been going back to its techno sounds, but in this one it returns to its deep house.
Another of the nice deep space trips from the Swedish Aniara Recordings. This was originally out in the fall of 2012 on vinyl and continues the digital conversion to some of the famous titles recently being done by this label.
Hardcore Traxx - Dance Mania Records 1986 - 1995 (Strut)

Review: Marcello Napoletano - Rush EP (What Ever Not)
.jpg)
An Italian proverb says there is no two without a three, and as you can see by the title this is the third release from label What Ever Not. This time around for WEN003, bosses Dan Mela and partner Dodi Palese pick there friend Marcello Napoletano, who presents a different four track extended player titled Rush. Marcello is no new producer in the deep house panorama starting up in 2007 on Radiance, and since then releasing among others also on famous labels as Mathematics Recordings this being one of his greatest supporters, YORE, Quintessentials, Laid, and in 2012 also founding his wax only Marcello Vinyl which so far features three releases. As is expected Rush EP features Marcello Napoletano going into his old school raw deep Chicago house influenced sound, with the four very distinct different mood tracks titled; And Now A Grace's Grass Joint, Rush, Almanacco, and Survivor. For the different moods the tracks in WEN003 present, I will call them the Good, Bad, Ugly, and the Romantic, taking stint from an old Italian Western movie by Sergio Leone. The good mood track is And Now A Grace's Grass Joint. Bad mood goes to the deep and dark Rush. Ugly is definitely the track titled Survivor which also features an interesting sample from Lil Louis I Called U and is the most peak timer of the tracks. Romantic is surely Almanacoo which inspires to old school New York soulful garage sounds. A must have!
