Stefan Cordery – Incorporated

This WAS gonna go in the 'So many tunes…' round-up, but the four mixes are just too different, and too good in their own ways, for it not to get a full review.

Stefan Cordery is the man at the helm: his original version of Incorporated is an atmospheric tech-house chugger with that minimal-style trick of layering lots of scratchy, high-end sounds. Carlo Galliani's rub adds some stripped-down bass throb and brain-frying disco stabs for the 3am strobelit floors, while Ken Rok strips things right back to a minimal/deep techno pulse. And I'm liking all three mixes to be fair, especially Galliani's.

But it's the no-nonsense Mario Conte & Fabio SPZZ1 rub I'm loving best: it's the kind of muscular disco-techno that makes me think of Vague or early-doors Trade back in the day. Shirts optional.

Tete Hernandez & Javi Place – Tao

After our little disco/boogie excursion with Flash Atkins, let's take it seriously deep now with this tasty little number from Menomale Records.

Tao comes in six mixes, which could variously be filed under deep house, tech-house or deep techno, depending on your point of view on such matters. But I'm not gonna quibble about that tonight… I'm just gonna tell you that all six are very playable, and that the most obvious choices for floor play would be the Original, organ-flecked Fabio Spzz & Mario Conte or techier, bleepier Carlo Galliani rubs, but that the standout for me here is the uber-deep pass from Stefan Cioffi, an awesome piece of late-night, dubby, tech-tinged deep house stonery.

Don't sleep, as they say. Though with grooves as soporifically enveloping as the Cioffi rub it might be hard not to!
