Black Loops – Simplon EP

Released on Gruuv is this nice four-track EP from Black Loops, it consists of three originals and a remix of the title track. The first track (and title track) is ‘Simplon’, it’s a nice bouncy deep house tune with a warpy stab bassline pattern, some real old skool sounds and effects make this track stand out. The second is a tune called ‘Cabron’, this feels slightly darker than the first. It has a big deep stab bassline pattern sat nicely under some pitched down dark vocal, very well produced and contains a load of elements. The third track is ‘Up On You’, upon hearing the bassline for the first time it instantly reminds me of the old 4×4 garage days as it’s deep and slightly warpy, if only it had the garage style shuffle drums too, it’d be just like the old days! Finally the fourth track is a remix of ‘Simplon’ by ‘Sidney Charles’. Sidney is no stranger to big tunes at the moment and I have even reviewed a couple of his productions on this website previously. Wow, what a remix! He has really made this big. Some lovely hats and big synths sat over a bumpy old skool bass riff… Hooj choon!

Gary Caos & Andrea Martini – Your Love

This is a nice upbeat main room tech house track out on Casa Rossa. A big summery sound with a great vocal which has been expertly chopped up and laid over some nice techy drums and a deep bass pattern which gets slightly bigger after the drop. Highly recommend this for any outdoor summer party or on a beach during a hot day, alternatively in any club main room if you’re in the UK and the sun is nowhere to be seen! Check this..

Terrence Parker – When Loves The Feeling

Here’s one for the classic piano house lovers! Produced by Terrence Parker who is an absolute legend in the Detroit house scene and has been since the mid-80’s! This release features an original mix as well as a remix from Lenny RX & Kenny Summit, lets talk about the original first; this track has an absolutely addictive piano riff and a highly sung vocal sitting nicely over some classic house drums, beautiful! The remix is slightly more upbeat! Using the same piano riff and vocal, but this time sitting over some bigger sounding drums but without losing that classic aged sound. Laying underneath those elements is a great punchy bassline which really gives the track some bounce. I test drove this track on my radio show last weekend and got a great reaction from listeners. Released on GFY Black Label. 🙂

Simion – Warning / Jack Your Body

Released on OFF Recordings is this two-part deep house release from Simion. The first track is ‘Warning’ which has an amazing deep bassline groove sitting under a great little vocal hook. Breaks down to almost nothing before the vocal kicks in then drops into that awesome bassline again, love this! The next track is ‘Jack Ur Body’ which is a lovely bouncy banger! It has a nice top end pluck sound to the bass rhythm which really goes well. Loads of breakdowns and builds in this, awesome track.

Kevin Andrews & Jason Chance – Krin

Released as a part of Toolroom’s Miami 2014 collection, Jason Chance & Kevin Andrews (Hoxton Whores) bring you this main room tech house slammer. I gotta say, this style of house music is one of my favourites. I am a big fan of high end plucky synth rhythms and this track gives you that with a slight oriental feel to it too. Absolutely love the breakdown with some repetitive vocals which sound like tribal kids having a sing song!, then a nice snare build before a huge bouncy bassline drop complimented nicely with high end plucky stabs 🙂

Vlada Asanin, Jose Sosa & Yas Cepeda – Starter EP

The name ‘Vlada Asanin’ is a name that appears on this website again and again, I am a keen follower of his work! This time he’s unleashed two new tracks on RockIt Records. The first track is called ‘Up And Down’ and he has teamed up with Yas Cepeda. Lovely bouncy tech track with a great cut up vocal looped over the top. As per usual he has mixed this up with a huge deep flowing bass riff which turns this tune into a main room stomper. The second track is called ‘Pussy Cat’ and is co-produced by Jose Sosa. This has a similar style to the previous track with a big deep bassline and choppy vocals but this has some extra snares and fills added in for flavour! All round a great two-track release and guaranteed to get the crowd going.

R.O.N.N. (aka Ron Carroll) & Emilio Hernandez – Do I Believe In God?

Ron Carroll has been one of my favourite producers for a long time and for this release he has teamed up with Emilio Hernandez. There’s two parts to this one, the original being a big techy dancefloor smasher with a brilliant funky yet soulful breakdown. I particularly love the funky guitar riff and the vocal in the breakdown before a big riser and bassline drop! Huge tune! The next track is a remix from Fred Pellichero & MJFA, this version isn’t as full on and techy as the original but instead has an electro style twist with a big rising build before an almighty drop. Both tracks are worthy of any main room and are definitely worth a spin. Released on Vamos Music..

SUARA – Kitties Go Deep Vol. 2 (20 Tracks)

Huge release for Suara Records and they have switched it up with this, 20 tracks of deep house bangers! I’m not gonna go through and explain about every track on this release as I’ll be here forever but having been sent this straight from Suara a while ago, I’ve had a chance to go through them and pick out my favourites! Trust me when I say this but every track on this release is brilliant, the ones that really stuck out to me though are ‘KANT – Bass & The Beats’, it’s a big bassline tune!, ‘EdOne & Bodden – You’re My Heart’ as I love the 80’s rhythm!, ‘Sugar Hill – Disco Music’ as it’s got another quality 80’s rhythm, and ‘Tough Love – Missing You’ because of the big bassline riff. This is absolutely massive! Have a listen and judge for yourself!

Sonnie Mancino & The Cube Guys – Where’s My Money (Kaarlos & Mozza Remix)

I’ll start by simply saying that this tune is awesome! Has a nice bouncy tech feel to it with a clever vocal loop. Really nice chilled out breakdown then little drum fill before banging back in. I will definitely be dropping this over the weekend! Released on the Cube Guys label ‘Cube Recordings’.. Nice!

Exclusive Interview: LEFTWING & KODY

This month we’ve decided to kick off a new feature to Public House UK and are now introducing featured artist interviews. We are forever reviewing new tracks by many different artists on this site and we feel that it would be great to show you who the artists are and a bit of their background.

For the first of the phuk interviews we have a dj/production duo who are absolutely smashing the deep house scene to pieces. With releases on top labels such as OFF Recordings, NOIR Music, Anjuna Deep and their own new label LOST Records. These guys are huge already after only being around since mid-2012, and can only get bigger..

For our first PHUK interview, we bring you.. LEFTWING & KODY. We kept things fairly short n’ sweet but had a few questions for them, and here they are:

So guys, how did Leftwing & Kody come about, how did you form?

Leftwing & Kody: We’ve been working together for about 5 years. we met DJ’ing at the same promotion. At the time we were both making music individually and were playing each others tracks then decided to jump in the studio together. The rest is history.

If you were to individually describe your production style in three words each, what words would they be?

Kody: Potent, Energizing, Dynamic
Leftwing: Jacking, Hooky, Hype

What’s the next step for your music, and where do you see yourselves going in 2014?

Leftwing & Kody: We have releases lined up for the first half of 2014. More music coming on OFF Recordings, Lapsus, Glasgow Underground and a 5 track EP on our own imprint Lost Records which will be out in the summer.

Hopefully the gigs will keep coming and we’ll still be gigging at the end of 2014, can’t ask for any more than that!

Your sounds are inspired by a fusion of quite British rooted club genres, like Garage and Deep House, so do you prefer playing in the UK or abroad?

Leftwing & Kody: We play a lot in the UK so it’s always very interesting to see the reaction of the crowds abroad. No real preference though we are happy playing in clubs regardless of where they are. As long as the crowd are enjoying it, we’re happy!

With a catalogue of releases on labels such as OFF, Alive & Noir, what has been your favourite release so far?

Kody: I think ‘Bump and Flex’ for me has to be the favourite as it was our breakthrough release!
Leftwing: My favourite is ‘You Were’, its almost 2 years old now and still does the damage in the clubs.

What is your inspiration in the studio?

Leftwing & Kody: Making music can be quite frustrating at times so we keep things light hearted in the studio. We are constantly taking the piss out of each other joking around and having wars with the other guys we share the studio space with.

You have launched your new label ‘Lost Records’, what style of tracks are you looking for, and are there any artists you are excited about?

Leftwing & Kody: We are looking for forward thinking music that has a nod to the past. We are really excited about the next few releases. We have 2 EP’s from some guys that are breaking through at the moment PAWSA & Origins Sound and we we’re lucky enough to sign a track from German Brigante who we think is going to be massive this year. We also have a remix on one of the packages by ‘Copy Paste Soul’, we think he’s going to have a big year also.

A huge thank you to Leftwing & Kody for taking the time out to answer our questions, we certainly look forward to their future projects and I will definitely be heading our to one of their London gig soon. You can follow Leftwing & Kody at the following places (click on the links):

Mario Ochoa – Like This

Big & techy! Something out on Sphera Records by Mario Ochoa. I’ve reviewed a few of Mario’s tracks in the past and they are all quality. This is his latest release and there are a few samples in their that you should recognise such as the ‘Whoa….Yeah’ from the old classic ‘It Takes Two’. The bassline is also familiar, and will be to most old skool UK Garage heads as it’s the same riff on Double 99’s ‘RipGroove’. Mario has done a great job with this one, love it!
