Paul Lock – You Were Saying EP

Fresh out on Family Grooves is this awesome 4-track EP by Paul Lock. We’ve said it before but it just seems that everything this label is releasing is absolutely incredible! First up is the track ‘Come Together’ which is a nice bouncy tech house tune with a deep sub bass rhythm sat under some synth stabs and very distinct ‘speech’ vocal and crowd chants, really nice! Next up is a banger called ‘I Feel This’ which has somehow got itself bouncing around in my head, I can’t stop chanting the vocal. Huge main room tech house tune with a great breakdown, rising build and almighty drop! Now I have to say, the next track is a personal favourite and it’s called ‘Let It Move Ya’. For regular followers of this website this tune might sound familiar as I featured it as a promo in the fourth edition of the PHUK podcast (listen here). The track is definitely one for the main room. It has a big deep bass pattern and loads of old skool sounding chord stabs sitting alongside a nice choppy vocal, I love it! The final tune on the EP is called ‘Say This’ and is another favourite! This one MUST be heard on a big sound system to fully appreciate it. Big stabs, deep sub-bass and a great vocal all sitting alongside some big techy drums. HUGE release, get this in your bag!

Alex Marcu – El Pou

Having done reviews for previous tracks on the Family Grooves label, I’m always excited when new tracks are released by them. Family Grooves is a label that caters for loads of different styles of house music and I can honestly say that I love pretty much everything they’ve brought out, this release is no exception to that. This time round Alex Marcu has the track called ‘El Pou’ which also has a tasty remix by Stefano Crabuzza. The original is a great bouncy house tune with a nice pan-pipe style riff, complimented nicely with some really old computer blip sounds. Reading that back, it sounds a bit mad but it’s so difficult to describe as there’s so much to talk about. I don’t know how this track works, but it does! Absolutely amazing tune. The remix is a lot darker with some very deep sub-like bass. A very simple version with loads kicking in and dropping out. Personally, the original is the version for me! Great release, Family Grooves have done it again! Good times..

Sergio Pardo, Joan Roca & DJ Gray – Now / Your Body

Something fresh on Family Grooves and trust me, this is a biggie! Two tracks on this release, the first being a track called ‘Now’. Very upbeat with some lovely tech drums and an awesome bongo sounding fill, some nice stabby vocals and an infectious bass pattern… awesome! The second track is entitled ‘Your Body’ and is another bouncy tech house tune. I particularly like the vocal stabs in this! The breakdown is a great mix of deep, chopped up vocals adding a nice little rhythm before the big drop into a big bassline. This is going in the gig bag today, will definitely be playing this on radio and out in the clubs… You need this!
