Since the beginning we can see an evolution in Jose Rico ´s music. His sound is now more powerful than ever and the structure of his tracks have gained in complexity. The rhythms of his tracks, highly influenced by Chicago House and Detroit in his earlier releases, now are looking at the European 90 ´s electro´nica and dub music, slowing down (even more) the tempo. We can say that the his last releases on Into the the Deep and Off Minor are probably his best works and most mature, so far. “De´ja` Vu”, the 11th Downbeat installment, continues to explore this route. Here we find four emotional and spacey tracks, made by old synths and samplers which takes us back to the early 90 ´s.

Jose Rico launches the Le Disque Record Store's project: Ambiwa Records, a label dedicated to abstract House music. "Declaration of Intent EP" is a collection of songs with a history, 4 pieces of his life talking about hypocrisy referred to poverty; the trivialisation of music as money source; the days in the studio with Ron Trent; and the night music-workers. Beyond any related stories, here you can find all the Jose Rico's Music standards: impossible Mpc percussion patterns, black keys, vocal textures, distorted kicks and tons of suspence and tension. This just means... music for the most demanding dancefloors and open minds. As it could not be otherwise, masterd by Jose Rico.

This very special record is a collaboration between Amsterdam based stalwart, and frequent contributor to Young Marco’s Safe-Trip label, Darling, and his extremely talented daughter, Lexi. Here the producer, Darling, crayon proofs his studio and lets his 4r yr old daughter, Lexi run riot on the synths. The resulting submerged grooves, outer worldly melodies & psychedelic nursery rhymes are made up entirely of seqeunces recorded in by the outstandingly creative youngster with Dad making the edits and laying in the beats . This record was powered by Haribo.
BIG TIP!

Following up from that brilliant Tom Dicicco from last year, the notorious GCZ is back on his own label. This time he switches the arpeggiators to 'BODY' and it's all go... for a while. Two more tool type versions on the flip..for the DJs. Big Tip from one of our favs!

No Nonsense jagged-edged deepness. Young gun Tom Dicicco kills it with these two slices of strobe light euphoria. Those dance floor moments when you forget where you are. Recommended!

These guys? Pretty mysterious but that?s not the appeal. Super diverse stylistically, but that?s not it either! They just got it. DOPE AS FUCK production unit, and we are sure you will be hearing a lot from them in the future.
