Efdemin - Chicago



Though still composing the kind of breathy, open vista deep house associated with the city that lends the record its name, Chicago functions on a slightly wider narrative arc than Phillip Sollman's (aka Efdemin) debut, further incorporating elements of minimalism, jazz and even prime mid-'00s microhouse into his textured sound. The result is an intimate and meticulous work that's sometimes slow to reveal its charms. Instruments like zither, organ, vocal shards, cello, flutes, pipes, both live and machine drums emerge in shady, half-formed patterns only to slip beneath the surface again, a quick poke of sound or melody in Sollmann's articulate whole.

Kuniyuki Takahashi - Dancing In The Naked City


Since 2005, Kuniyuki Takahashi has released over a dozen records on Mule, and Walking in the Naked City will be his third full-length release. Kuniyuki recruited a number of guest appearances for the album, including jazz pianist Fumio Itabashi and frequent collaborator Henrik Schwarz, who lends his rarely heard vocal talents to the track "Once Again." Like much of Kuniyuki's work in the past, Walking in the Naked City balances jazz and world music aesthetics with a deep house production style. The record's overall vibe is soulful and organic, with flutes, natural percussion and piano complimenting Kuniyuki's crisp electronic sounds.

Future Disco Vol. 4 - Neon Nights


It might have been considered a passing trend and nothing more by some, but it is remarkable to see how the whole nü-disco scene has established itself as a viable alternative to the old-school disco revival epitomized by the Horse Meat Disco bunch and the deep house inclination privileged by the likes of Mule Musiq. You could even say that by taking things down a notch or two, nü-disco has even paved the way for the current interest in all things slow such as the aforementioned Jaar. The names may be unfortunate, but Underground Disco and Future Disco have overall got it right.

Giles Smith - Little White Earbuds Podcast


As one half of Secretsundaze with James Priestly, Giles Smith has been providing London with a soundtrack of house and techno via their bi-weekly parties for the better part of ten years. From modest beginnings, Secretsundaze has slowly grown to become an established quality brand in the saturated party market of England’s capital. Their Sunday afternoon events have played a major part in day-time clubbing, drawing in guests from all over the world to play at the ever-changing, outdoor and secret venues. They have also taken the parties on the road, sharing their intimate, colorful vibes all over Europe. In more recent years Smith has also been stepping in to the studio with fellow Englishman Martin Dawson as Two Armadillos, with the pair enjoying critical acclaim for their run of deep, organic house on labels like Motivbank, Dessous, Buzzin’ Fly and Sthlmaudio. With Secretsundaze about to celebrate their tenth birthday and their Secret Agency curating room three at Fabric on Feb. 19th, LWE caught up with him at a local Dalston eatery to talk about the past and future of the parties and what’s up next for Two Armadillos. Smith also recorded LWE’s 74th podcast, a one-take, all vinyl set that encapsulates why he’s sought after around the globe.

Steffi - Yours And Mine


Superbly clean and classic sounding debut album from Panorama Bar resident and all round House music dynamo, Steffi. Since 2000 Steffi has run the ace Klakson label with Dexter, responsible for the era defining releases 'I Don't Care', and since last year she's branched out with the Dolly label, home to vital vinyl from Dexter, Jakob Korn and Tyrez. Her own productions have only emerged in the last couple of years, landing on Ostgut Ton and UQ, showcasing a supple, simple and highly effective style of deeper modern house music. All nine cuts on 'Yours & Mine' are exclusive to the album, featuring two superior vocal tracks with Virginia (vocalist for Steve Bug and Abe Duque a.o), the Detroit-tempered 'Yours' and the deliciously moody 'You Own My Mind', next to the beautifully toned square bass workout 'Arms', the purposeful late night jack of 'Manic Moods' and the synthual Berlin sehnsucht of 'Nightspacer'. It' surely no overstatement to say this is one of the most beautifully accomplished releases on Ostgut Ton, and a total must have for fans of sophisticated, classically-informed Berlin House music.
