Amp Dog Knight's aka Amp Fiddler serves up some brand new track on KDJ's ''other'' label, Mahogani Music. This ones fast, but you hardly notic how fast it because it's so smooth and funky. Lovely, warm analogue bass lines and squelches with Amp Fiddlers sultry vocals over the top. The flip holds...
Andrés Zacco, the Pergamino-born Argentine producer is not an unknown to the scene. His highly descriptive, funkily elusive, reduced yet very driving house sounds that are finely layered and always utterly tasteful in their composition have surfaced on labels as varied and renowned as Stock5,...

At roughly thirty-six minutes long, this 4 track single plays like an EP and holds its own throughout. It comes as no surprise that the centerpiece of the disc is the outstanding DFA remix, clocking in at just over nine minutes, with its catchy-as-hell pulsating beat and seizure-enducing disco...

A mid-tempo house groover from CALCULUS b/w a remix from REBOOT that is for the peak time. Jacking FM bass, loose percussion and top notch arrangement. CHRIS DUCKENFIELD: "Killer. My fav HAIRY CLAW release for ages." ALEX ATTIAS: "So round and warm! Full support."

FLYING LOTUS & CARLOS NINO - Hot Heavy Heat (Dimlite's Hot Air & Thick Plastic Remix)
FLYING LOTUS & CARLOS NINO - Infinitum (Dimlite Re-finitum)
