ECHO BEACH by Ralph Lawson, Carl Finlow and Wulf n’Flow on 20/20 Vision Recordings
For the fifth release on At A Glance, Shabi delivers a four-track collection of groove-driven house music built for long nights and packed dancefloors. Blending rolling drums, infectious basslines, soulful vocal touches and a deep sense of movement, AAG005 captures the label’s love for timeless club records with a fresh and contemporary edge.
Duality Trax reaches its tenth release with a defining moment for the label, as label boss Holly Lester steps forward with her debut EP. A personal milestone as much as a catalogue marker, the record channels sounds that have shaped her sound to date – early tech house, the low-end swing of UK garage and breakbeat, the rolling pulse of mid-2000s European dancefloors, and the emotional lift of ’90s progressive house – all refracted through a distinctly personal lens.
Rupert Marnie, co-founder of The Press Group and Remoto Records, makes his debut on Smallville with four serious raw and gritty tracks, deeply driving yet bouncy, wobbly at times and definitely with a Curveball-appeal and no compromises.
First transmissions from newly formed Japanese duo Fructus. Their first bunch of Detroit-leaning house tracks, find a common ground somewhere between fragile machine funk and dreamy electronics.
