Ruben Mandolini – Slevin

More dancefloor-oriented tech-house frolics here, courtesy of Riva Starr's Snatch! label and Italian producer Ruben Mandolini.

Both Slevin itself and Forget About It are hi-octane, prime-time pumpers with more than a hint of disco, while Fonky Death works a more stripped-down, jackin' groove altogether. The latter's also accompanied by a drum-tastic 'DJ tool' mix.

I've love Fonky Death more, were it not for the angry-sounding man who keeps shouting "Funky crowd out there!" in a rather annoying fashion. Even taking him into account, though, what we have here are three solid bets when you need to keep 'em moving.

Ruben Mandolini – Little Go

Still quite a few things to tell you about from last week but let's crack on with this week's reviews for now, starting with a few bits n' bobs on a tech-house tip.

Ruben Mandolini hails from Italy, and on Little Go he conjures up a heady concoction of familiar vocal samples and rolling tech-house beats. The Original version is accompanied by two remixes: Mennie's is phatter, funkier and the most likely to do the do on deep house floors, while Mario Piu's sits somewhere between that and the much sparser, more minimal Original.

All three will work but it's Mennie's rub that stands out for me.
