Say goodbye to endless, algorithm playlists. This pack of tracks was handpicked by a real, human being. Yours truly scanned hundreds of promos and I’ve only got fifteen tunes to show for. You’re welcome.
1. “MELLIFLUOUS” – CINTHIE [803 CRYSTAL GROOVES]
“Mellifluous” is more than an appropriate title for Cinthie‘s newest devotion to the classic sound of house music. It’s the epitome of what great, house music sounds like.
2. “RED HOUSE” – REBOOT [CECILLE]
Reboot’s dazzling return to Cecille stars this supercharged groover which features a couple of drops for the ages. Turn it up.
3. “FOR THE RECORD (ADAM COLLINS BACKSPIN REMIX)” – THE TRIP [TESSELLATE]
The Trip is back with a package of remixes that features this quirky one from Adam Collins.
4. “YOU KNOW HOW” – CINTHIE [803 CRYSTAL GROOVES]
“Mellifluous” may be the highlight of Cinthie’s newest E.P. for yours truly but the uplifting piano vibes of “You Know How” simply can’t be ignored in the best of July 2024.
5. “AURORA (ROZA TERENZI REMIX)” – ALEX ALBRECHT PRES. MELQUÍADES [SCISSOR & THREAD]
Beginning as a blissed-out, breaks venture, Roza Terenzi’s remix soon takes a different direction with the floor in mind.
6. “RAWLINE 98” – SIDNEY CHARLES [HEAVY HOUSE SOCIETY]
Modern, high-tempo house music meets the vibe of the late ’90s on another superb Sidney Charles production.
7. “ALICAT” – REBOOT [CECILLE]
Reboot’s “Alicat” is a deeper venture on his Red House E.P. which marks his return to Cecille after a two-year absence.
8. “WILDERNESS” – DANNY SNOWDEN [LOCUS]
Danny Snowden’s Digitise E.P. is a high BPM affair that sees the UK artist make his solo debut on LOCUS.
9. “DIGITISE” – DANNY SNOWDEN [LOCUS]
Title cut, “Digitise” is distinctly bubbly, merging wandering melodies with yet more commanding bass grooves.
10. “I’M SEEING DOUBLE” – DANNY SNOWDEN [LOCUS]
I’m Seeing Double” opens the show with a swathe of groove-driven arrangements, swirling synths and tripped-out vocals, all layered over an acid-dipped bass-line that erupts to take hold.
11. “NHAVA” – NASH LA MUSICA [BE ADULT ROOTS]
“We are fans of his sound and have been following his musical career for a long time. Finally, we have him with us presenting this EP called ‘Kali’. We are talking about Nash La Musica and his very special and melodic Afro House. The first track shares the name of the EP, but we also hope you enjoy the second track called ‘Nhava’, a real gem. It’s a solid release, the first of many that Nash will present to you on Be Adult Roots in 2024.” – Be Adult Roots
12. “GET DOWN” – AUDIOJACK [MOXY MUZIK]
The superb, “Get Down” has earth shattering kicks and heavy rolling bass that make for a monstrous groove. It’s run through with withering sci-pads, steamy vocals that bring the soul and a menacing lead that keeps dancers locked in and bouncing.
13. “FEEL MY NEEDS” – WEISS VS JAMES HYPE [TOOLROOM]
For those of you that miss Weiss’s 2018 piano-anthem, “Feel My Needs,” James Hype has brought the modern classic up to date for the new decade.
14. “ULTIMATE” – OMICASA (CRAZE & MATSU) [DIRTYBIRD]
“When we started the Omicasa project, we were determined to push ourselves creatively. We want to make music that challenges the norm and moves dance music forward. ‘Ultimate’ is a testament to that intent – it’s a unique record that takes you on a wild ride! We’re honored to release this track on the legendary Dirtybird Records!”
– Omicasa
15. “YOU TAKE ME HIGHER” – MARK KNIGHT, JAMES HURR [TOOLROOM]
Sandy Mercer’s 1978 jam, “Your Are My Love” gets another go-around in clubland.
