Helder Teixera – Non

Having discovered Portuguese producer Teixeira, the Endemic camp seem determined to release a record by him at least every 45 minutes… here's just the latest. S'good, though. 

There's just the two mixes to choose from. The original is a midtempo, rolling tech-house groove, with snatches of spoken French vocal but the emphasis primarily on the drums. It's the 4am Mix from Teixeira himself that I'm feeling much more, though – a far smoother, afterhours house joint with organs to kill for.

Nuff said, really… otherwise I'll be forced to do some sort of 'big, throbbing organ' joke. But yeah, this is very cool indeed.

Helder Teixeira – Romantic Moves EP

Romantic moves, eh? Well I don't know about romance, but there's certainly no shortage of love for Portuguese newcomer Helder Teixeira in the Endemic Digital camp… having released the Eco EP on Sounds Of Juan last month, next week he's got another single out on Unrivaled Music while this week, here he comes on the mothership label.

Deep, techy house is the man's stock in trade, and the four tracks in five mixes here show that he's rather good at it. Unhurried chugger Fuck That stands out for me but if you're a fan of the Endemic sound there's nothing here that will disappoint, trust!

Helder Teixeira - Eco EP

Last one for tonight… this comes from Sounds Of Juan and sits somewhere between tech-house, deep techno and minimal.

There are three tracks. Dream Box is all stuttery rhythms, underwater noises and random synth stabs n' squiggles, with floaty vocal samples thrown in over the top every now and again. Eco Box itself is a militantly stripped-down, percussive techno cut with a very odd sampled vocal (some young girl addressing a green conference or something, by the sounds of it… which I guess would explain the title). But the standout here for me is Mysterious House, which moves closer to deep house territory with its muted jazz horns, tiny snatches of spoken vocal and nagging high-end percussion.

Mysterious House is definitely the one for me personally but the EP as a whole is a solid bet if you like your tech-house on the slightly more twitchy, experimental side.
