Andrew Emil has been leaning in hard on showcasing his remixing skills and that's the theme of Nite Dreams from a leading light in the vinyl deep house world, Yore.

The German duo made up of producer David Platzdasch and pianist / keyboardist Holger Dix cultivate moods rather than making cookie-cutter dancefloor bangers-on-demand on Apparent Movement from Closer To Truth.

Rich, thick, dreamy, hazy house music, full of atmosphere from Liverpool artist Petals In Sound and Dirt Crew Recordings.

Apparel is launching a pretty cool seven inch series with two plates released in June and August respectively with a flared-out disco/funk sound by the mysterious Apparel Wax.

There was a point about four hours ago when I had no idea who Naux was. I've been deep in a rabbit hole with the French producer's catalog and it's a very weird place to be.

Fantastically dope, dirty and elegant by turns, the space-minded cosmonauts of Culture Power 45 present us with The Degabah System, an "interstellar" trio with their debut album Saqqara.

First Cut welcomes TR One, Giles Armstrong and Reflection Port Assembly on shiny black wax on Crossing The Red Line.

At 1:05 you should be prepared to get happy. Hustlin' All Day by Portuguese producer Bernardo Mota gets positively joyful at that moment as this lovely little track erupts with bigger-than-Def Mix piano chords going up like fireworks.

Levon Vincent has a clear affinity here for the record, which presaged a darker, more physical turn for analog-driven techno and deep house. Vincent is a fellow traveler and his work on these remixes is nothing short of stunning.

With the onset of summer comes the big, feel good tunes and Seamus Haji and Michael Gray provide you all of that warm goodness with "Wish" out on Defected’s Big Love sublabel

It may be cheapening the art and coarsening the discourse when all we have to say about a record is mf, this is dope but mf, this is dope. When it comes to her public discography, Roberta has not missed.

Mainstream Disco Funk gathers together twelve disco/funk tracks from between '74 and '76, a particularly fertile moment in R&B history as funk and soul artists, producers and musicians either adopted or adapted the disco innovations of labels like Philadelphia International Records. Most of the tunes contained here are located right in that disco-funk / funky-disco sweet spot, where intricate-yet-loose funk rhythms melded with cosmopolitan sweeping orchestration and the emergence of that insistent 4/4 disco pulse.

Close your eyes and you're there again: standing amid the broken toilets and dimebags on the tiles at whatever club was the hot place in 1996 but which you had a vague suspicion was no longer quite so hot in 1997.

Unpretentious, spacey, boogie-down disco jams from Artwork & Jon Solo's new More Amour project.

Sweat Equity's Daniel Creahan dons a mask as Alien D on an EP of rust belt techno tracks from Fixed Rhythms.

Nachtbraker's tracks are often a subtle hybrid of elements of deep house and classic Detroit techno with echoes of '90s Dutch house, all filtered through a highly detailed sound design process. So it is here with four tracks of futurist hybrid 4/4 on Capichone.

Another beautiful anonymous slab of wax from artists unknown to us just waiting to slip into your crate and intimidate all your other records with its fierceness.

Three weekend-long events for the Berlin event will follow a ten track compilation from some of the friends, family & honored guests from the label out June 23.

Another 12" deep house record that's all about the groove and how to cook with it from Chicago's Snad.
