Duplo & Zumbador, East Pagan ft Cotry – Silence

This is a track that was sent to us recently from D2 Records. Quite a big release as there is an original and four remixes, and all have their own unique spin and style but incorporate an amazing, infectious female vocal! I mean seriously, this vocal is awesome!

The original mix has some deep blip sounds alongside nice pads and eerie bass stabs, all perfectly married together with some deep drum patterns. It has a very chilled yet old progressive vibe to it but sounds so good!

The first remix up is by Natema and is a very bassline driven deep house remix. I can instantly imagine this going off in a club! I love the breakdown, slow build and huge drop into the bass pattern, all before the drums come back in; WOW, what a remix!! The second remix is by Anton Ishutin, now this one is quite a laid back version with a stabby 80’s feel bass pattern, nice pads and great use of the vocal, goosebumps! The third remix is by Juloboy, he has taken the original bass riff and blips and toughened them up slightly. Keeping the nice airy pads along with the vocal, and some great use of the sidechain! Finally, the last remix is by Fabricio Pecanha. He has taken the track even deeper with a lovely deep and bumpy acid bass sound. I absolutely love the breakdown where it consists of just the bass, arpeggiated blips and a chopped vocal, all before a nice build into a simple drum pattern. Works so well!

If I was to pick a favourite I’d have to say it’s the Natema remix. Absolutely huge release for D2 Records and getting huge support already, I hope this blows up! Pick up your copy now…

Dee Montero – Full Body

From Dee’s heady days as resident at Belfast’s legendary Network club, to residencies at the rather more exotic Amnesia, Pacha, Space and Café Mambo in Ibiza, Dee Montero has been whipping dancefloors into a frenzy across the globe for more than 15 years.

‘Full body’ is Dee Montero’s latest Tech House groover. Signed & Released this week to Nic Fanciulli’s ‘Saved Records’, this is a track you will need in your playlist this summer.

With a warm and dark breakdown layered with the vocal ‘Everyday I’m gonna Die’ it drops into a superb grooving bass with the vocal chopped and delayed industrial synth rolling on top.
The track has two very nice drops that don’t leave you anticipating too long, before your ready to hit back into the groove!

With G-Man on the remix, it is a very pleasant and up beat Techno track. With some very nice effects on the vocals & great delays, it gives the track a constant flow and progression.
Can’t go wrong with either of these tracks really, it all depends on the time of the set and the mood of the crowd, but will definitely be a body mover!

Simeon Belle & Silvo Leeroy – Want More Culture EP

The Boys are back and have teamed up again to bring you their latest EP ‘Want more Culture’.

Two very nice Deep House rollers.. Track One titled ‘Want More’ has a seriously good female vocal sample that is chopped and grooving throughout the track. This sits nicely on the hook providing a dark but pleasant dancefloor mover..

Track Two titled ‘Culture’ has a slightly more upbeat groove in A minor with another cool vocal that I imagine clubbers will absorb subconsciously on the night!

Simeon and Silvo are producing some top tracks this year, so I suggest you keep an eye on them!

Sonny Fodera & Cervendos ft Lauren Faith – High

After an Epic year of constant up-rise for Sonny Fodera with his long list of events & big release alongside Cervandos – ‘Let it go’. We now have the production duo back as Sonny Fodera and Cervendos bring you ‘High’

In this latest Collaboration we hear the beautiful vocals from Lauren Faith, certainly a voice I would like to hear more of in the future for the house scene. Now, you may have had the opportunity to hear Sonny play this at some of the superb Defected nights we’ve had the pleasure of witnessing, so if your wondering what’s going to be rocking your arenas this summer, I sense this will definitely be one of them.

Also if your feeling the vibe and you want to check out Sonny’s label, have a look for Beatdown Music, where you will certainly find some secret weapons!

Ramiro Lopez – Chunky Cattish EP

Here’s something new out on the legendary Suara Music. A three part EP from Ramiro Lopez called Chunky Cattish. Now, I am a huge fan of Ramiro’s work and find that his productions always go down well in any mainroom tech set I play, and this EP is no different, it is awesome!

For a change, I’m not going to go through the three tracks individually as to give them the real credit they deserve you’ll need to listen to them on a decent set of speakers. They all consist of amazing bassline grooves and big bouncy tech drums. This is possibly my favourite EP so far this year, and that is a big thing for me to say! Have a listen..

Preview: Groovetonic & Olivian DJ, SOLLORS – Tekknology EP, Vol. 3

Forthcoming on the new, more underground sister label of Jungle Funk, called Jungle Tekk Recordings, is this amazing tech/techno EP. Consisting of two tracks by different artists, and both completely different too; we’ll start with the first track..

Produced by Groovetonic & Olivian DJ is this track called ‘Beat’. It kicks off with some big sketchy tech drums before a nice little drum fill before this big deep bassline groove. It builds really nicely with new sounds coming in continuously, then breaks down and re-builds with a big long riser and loads of cowbell!! Then bang, it smashes straight back into the bass groove. Such a high energy track, I cannot wait to play this in a main room gig and watch the energetic reaction, great tune. The second track on this EP is by Sollors, and is called ‘Oprah’. This track couldn’t be any more different from the first on the EP. Kicking off with some big techno drums and a simple repetitive piano chord, then in comes the famous Oprah Winfrey Lifeclass vocal from one of her ‘Taking Responsibility Of Your Life’ speeches, very cleverly cut up. Throughout the track these is some really nice percussion including little bongo fills which give the track a nice identity. This is definitely one for the deeper techno heads, absolute choon! Not sure of the release date yet but keep your eyes peeled, and your ear to the ground as it’s gonna be big..

Siwell – Pagoda

Now here’s someone who’s featured a few times before on this website. Head honcho at Sphera Records ‘Siwell’ brings us this nice bouncy tech number. A really addictive bass pattern and cleverly flowing drums and percussion. One thing that I really like about Siwell’s production is his use of percussion and drum fills; genius! This track has a really nice piano riff that really puts the bounce into this one. absolutely love it! Available now on Beatport..

Barry Obzee & Lawrence Friend – Grinning

Well I haven’t posted for quite some time now, the reason behind this is that my beautiful girlfriend gave birth to our son at the beginning of the year and it’s taken it’s toll on my free time and has taken some getting used to! However, things are now on track and you’ll be happy to know that I’m now back to reviewing all your favourite house tracks. This time though I have also recruited another track reviewer who’s going to help out and take Public House UK to the next level. I will do all of the introductions in due time!

Right so let’s get to it… I thought it would be relevant to return with a track from myself and Barry Obzee which was recently released on Lucas Reyas’ label ‘Jango Music’. This is a label that has gone from strength to strength recently, with some top artist releases, we are very grateful to be on this label.

So the track is called ‘Grinning’ and is a nice little tech bouncer with a simple 3-key bass pattern, loads of breakdowns and build-ups. We managed to sample the vocal from a really old track (10 points if you can tell me where from!!), cut it up and laid it over our beats, fortunately it worked! We have had loads of great feedback on this release from some of the industries greatest. Have a listen and see what you think, available now…

Rino(IO)DJ – The Peace Train (Black Legend Project Remix)

I’ll start by saying that I am a huge fan of this track! This is new out on Jungle Funk Recordings and has been remixed by Black Legend Project. He is becoming a favourite on this website, I’ve mentioned him a few times lately!

The main, most recognisable parts of this track are the horn and brass sections. They bounce really cleverly with the hats. I love the deep bass pattern, the rolling snares, the vocals, everything really! Very well thought out and produced, Black Legend has done it again!

Matteo DiMarr ft Tony Leh-Lo Rabaloa – Stratosphere

I haven’t reviewed much in the way of ‘main room’ house music for a while as I’ve really been feeling a lot of the more tech/techno tracks that have been coming out. But, I was recently pointed to this release from some friends of mine in the industry and I’m glad they did! This is something fresh out on Zulu Records from Matteo DiMarr.

The initial breakdown has some really nice repetitive piano chords which gradually built before everything disappears, and a ragga style topline introduces a HUGE bassline drop! If I was asked to compare the bassline to any other recent track, I’d say it most resembles something that Oliver Heldens has brought out recently, although not the same sound or pattern, I’m referring to the feel only! This is an all round great track, well produced without feeling cheesy, and guaranteed to get some hands in the air.

Available now on Beatport, why not slip it into your next set?

Darius Syrossian – Listen Up EP

Here’s something fresh out on Definition:Music from producer ‘Darius Syrossian’. Now this is a name that I’ve been familiar with for quite some time as I’ve been playing his stuff both on the radio and out in the clubs. This release is a three part EP consisting of both a dub and vocal mix of a track called ‘Give You Some’, as well as another track called ‘Drop Your Gimmicks’.

The track ‘Give You Some’ has a nice bouncy bass pattern with an almost acid feel to it. There are loads of offbeat snares adding to the rhythm. There are a couple of breakdowns and they work really well, nice builds too. The vocal mix is the same but with a really nice recognisable vocal cut up and cleverly placed throughout. Tried and tested, it’s awesome!

‘Drop Your Gimmicks’ is a very well produced deep, techy track with a punchy bassline sat under some sketchy hats and some lovely old skool pads. I love the talking vocal in this too. This is a great release, I can’t wait to play it again!

Available now on Beatport..
