Alex Ander & Deep Grounder – Take Me There Tonight EP

Two tracks in seven mixes on what King Street are billing as a double A-side release here.

Looking at Take Me There first, in its Original form this is a soulful house cut with a female vocal from Virag and plenty of dancefloor energy. Kobe's remix pumps up the kicks and adds Detroitian strings as well as an extended breakdown in the middle, Eric Powa B's rub is guitar-flecked and Iberican-sounding while top honours for me go to the self-explanatory Carlos Vargas Deeper Remix.

On the flip, Tonight comes in three mixes, with no original in sight. The URH Remix is tough and drummy with a big, sparse breakdown while the Gerotone Dub Mix is more sumptuous and garage-inclined, but the standout for me is the Jon Silva Remix with its BIG organ vibes.

Whichever mix you plump for, though, this is classic-style house done properly.

Moti Brothers – Hermit

I do try, in all honesty and in all seriousness now, NOT to keep filling this blog with the same old labels week in, week out. Don't want TIWWD to seem like some kind of back-scratching boy's club or something. To that end, when I come to review stuff I make a point of never looking at the hype sheet or the artwork until I've decided what I want to say… that way I don't know what label stuff's on and can't be swayed.

So damn DeepWit Records for being so consistently on-point that there's not a lot I can do about having to pour praise most profuse on their latest release yet again. Damn Moti Brothers for the gorgeously unhurried, uncluttered deep house groove of Hermit. Damn Jon Silva for the elements of old skool garage AND rave (just listen to those early 90s-sounding stabs) in his slightly skippier refix. And most of all God DAMN Argentina's Manuel Belgrano for a heads' delight of a deep, throbbing Overdose Mix that pretty much redefines the word 'awesome'.

Damn them. Damn them all.
