Audio Junkies/Lonya – Two Makes A Pear EP

A split release here coming on new label Florentine Records, this being just their fourth release.

It's a simple two-track affair so I needn't detain you long! On the A, Audio Junkies' Allright [sic] is a big, brooding deep/tech houser with sampled vocal wails that builds and builds and then builds some more. Over on the B, Fairy comes (of course) from Lonya and is a somewhat deeper affair, this time with a proggy, soundscape-y feel.

Two solid cuts, and of course it's always good to welcome a new label to the scene.

Out: This week

About: Florentine Records are based "somewhere near the Mediterranean". Or I could just spoil it and say Israel! Their website is currently under construction, in the meantime you can find 'em on Facebook and Soundcloud.

Lonya - Bauhouse

More quality deep, techy house from the Acryl stable here, courtesy of Israel’s Lonya Koval, who’s previously had stuff out on Elevation, Bpitch Control and Asymmetric.

Milking The Sadness Away (a collaboration with Rei Okev) is stripped, lazy and beautiful, and will do just what it says; on t’other side, Bauhouse itself is a more dancefloor-inclined number, not doing huge amounts but keeping enough of a bass-and-drums groove going throughout (with vocal snips thrown in here and there) to make it perfect mix fodder for those wee small hours.

Out: This week (worldwide, though it’s been out on Beatport ONLY for a couple of weeks)

About: You’re probably sick of me banging on about Switzerland’s Acryl Music by now, but no-one seems to be doing, so until they are and this excellent label gets the credit it deserves, I’m not gonna quit!
