The groove boys project are what we can commonly call true soldiers of house music. Since their irruption on the scene in 2015, they have not stopped promoting house, deep house and all its variants (new jersey, dream house, jazzy house ect ...) through their multiple releases and their DJ sets. Their sound is completely analog (one day to see their studio, it's worth it!). This ep was indeed inspired by the Italian scene (which skylax records has always promoted), they are accompanied by Novaj (pioneer in France with his youtube channel dedicated to the most beautiful house songs), producer in his spare time, their association is wreaking havoc. The GBP have already signed several remixes for us (soul of the makossa man) and we are delighted to finally be able to dedicate a release worthy of the name to them. Amore, night in rimini, taste of heaven & mondo paradiso form one and the same room, a house monolith of pure pleasure. Undoubtedly, a future great classic. More

Groove Riddim is back on Wax Classics with four riddims curated by his pure passion for real house music. In an era where it is becoming easier to neglect the roots of the music we love, Groove Riddim pays a fitting tribute with two heavy hitting original tracks and remixes coming from two producers who both ooze these values - Brett Dancer & DJ Nav.Fittingly Brett Dancer opens the EP with his remix of Groove Riddims You're The One (A1). The NY house stalwart has cooked up a particularly deep riddim powered by throbbing kicks and piercing hi-hats that encapsulates listeners with a gradual crescendo of synth and vocals, by the time the first breakdown comes around you find surrounded by NY style piano chords that enhance the flow and will surely keep smiles alit.Groove Riddim shows just why he is becoming a Skylax favourite with his You're The One (A2), a master-class to any producer trying to recreate the sound of NY. It is no easy feat to do this and still maintain a unique style but the man from Greece has done it again, You're The One is a feel good, hands in the air anthem that wouldn't feel out of place at any party. In true garage fashion the combination of organ and piano compliment each other for an irresistible melody perfect for any prime time set.On the B DJ Nav steps up to rework Groove Riddim's Damn Fine (B1), and in true Nav fashion he imposes his signature sound of moving basslines and garage licked percussion. Class is the reiterated vocal line and class is exactly what is imposed on this super sexy remix.We finish with Groove Riddim's original mix of Damn Fine (B2) and this riddim has toes tappin' from start to finish. Instantly we feel transposed to NY city life with this heavily jazz influenced number, the swinging groove and teasing introductions of guitar & piano make for a vibrant rhythm and rounds off the EP with a real flavour of Groove Riddim's distinctive take on classic house

Concept e25 is back! Wax Classic 15 sees Concept e25’s third release on the label in the space of just a year! The demand has been overwhelming for more garage house hits with that added subtle, French flourish. We heard those cries, so here we have another slammin’ four track record from the man himself! The opening track of the EP, ‘Sing!’, is destined for greatness this summer on dance floors everywhere. For me, this will be the go-to track of the record for most DJs out there. On this track, Concept e25 combines a pumping Kerri style bassline with beautiful sustained chords, feel good vox cuts and the occasional sax line. Proper hands-in-the-air vibes here! ‘Giving It’ takes the EP into a deeper realm, one that evokes images of late evening summer sunsets. However, the garage swing and signature Concept e25 bass sound is still present. ‘Lies’ leads with moody chords before introducing a vocal that will be stuck in your head for a long time! Again, we have a smooth sax line to accompany the vocal up to the track’s climax. Rounding out this solid release is ‘Feel This Way’. Here, the punchy bass hits are united with an acid line that bubbles underneath, before being unleashed halfway through the track in a warehouse-reminiscent burst of resonance.

The pair both had strong musical backgrounds but only joined forces in 2009. Since then they have continually been developing their sound and exploring new and diverse ways of making music together, “with a burning proclivity for making good ol’ fashioned grooves - but not without a chic, modern twist” as noticed by Pulse Radio.net.Coming after “Back to the Source EP” on Seven Music, “Garage Sessions l” is their 7th EP and is released by WAX Classics - a sub-label of the famous SKYLAX Records. “Garage Sessions I” continues their journey into the 90’s Underground House world, with 4 tracks featuring funky basslines, classic.

For this 5th release, we give you the opportunity to grab 4 fantastic trax done by HOUSEMASTER : JASON GROVE. Born in Detroit, he started his career in the late 80’s, dj-ing in underground parties when the techno house movement was just at the beginning. He was invited few times on detroit local stations such as WDRQ & WJLB to play. Some said he was at that time very close to the “Wizard”, helping producing their first tracks with anthony srock as Final Cut. He had many opportunities during the 90’s to release some of his work on various prestigious labels, however, as the guy is really hardcore & straight edge, he prefered to continue producing only with analog gears (don’t ever speak to him about a computer or he’ll get mad !) & record his work on cassette only, selling it to indie stores & giving it to friends for some special events (birthday, graduation ect ... !). After the incredible releases we had on WAX CLASSIC 1 & 3 (for Lost Cuts I & II), you can grab finally the 3rd part of those legendary tapes.

Straight from germany, this talented producer delivered some of the best deep house music around. Entitled “The first floor ep”, it starts with “Show me” which is one of those eminently soulful house tracks with a sparse approach to production, all the elements sounding so crisp and distinct in the mix but judged perfectly. whilst "Rooted" is a louche head nodder supreme.On the flip side, with "Got that" he’s creating an all-enveloping atmosphere with its oven-warm pads and rich analogue bass, punctuated with jazzy chords and vocal murmurings. “Defense” showcases he’s excellent knack for crafting Moodymann style textures with the depth to boot, combining a solid rhythmic snap with drawn out vocal landscapes and Detroit-referencing melodies.
And to last, “Trouble” is all brisk, upright percussive layers splayed over swooping disco filtration. Nick’s approaching house from various angles and tempos and naturally there's plenty of deft usage of samples; such an EP just demonstrate how on top of their game SKYLAX / WAX CLASSIC is right now - big tip!
