Following on from last year's Dachshund Skank EP by Klic & Article.01, we have asked some of our favourite producers of the moment to add their own slant to the originals which previously found their way into the DJ sets of Martyn and Addison Groove and gained support from BBC6 Music. Greymatter continues with his new love for Chicago-styled synth and drum machine work-outs with his jacking take on Forwards, while Pixelord and the hotly tipped Gerry Read take the track Mustard Tiger in two very different directions on the flip. The digital release sees the talented new boy Blacksmif and Hit and Hope regular Naive Machine add their respective twists to round off the release. More

The mysterious Love Drop continues his homage to the classic raw sounds of days gone by as he drops an anthemic and pounding slice of House music for Home Taping.
With his trademark moody grooves and heavy delays he builds a vibe which is guaranteed to set any dance floor on fire.
Keeping it raw and proper with a generous pinch of soul and more than a touch of badass, Love Drop just moved things up to the next level. Less is definitely more as he destroys the floor. On the flip, Dicky Trisco plays to the emotional strength of the original and delivers a highly polished heads-down, dubbed out version for the club.
While rising star of the scene Dan Shake raises the tempo and treats us to a raw and funky workout to complete a very fine package indeed.
Free your mind and Love Drop will follow. More

Heavily influenced by Moodymann and Andres, new Home Taping artist Simba produces music that is full of soulful echoes, while still dripping in raw house music vibes. Nothing is too straight in the Simba sound as FX drift around and subtle production touches come at you from all angles.
Vinyl hiss is as important as the kick drum and the overall atmosphere has that classic house music quality that can transport you instantly to another place. The Black Madonna was the one who drew attention to the rising talents of this young producer. So fittingly she delivers her own 'Lost In Chicago' take on the original, which delights in the track's edginess and the wonderful release of the main hooks. All of which are given the trademark BM Chicago stamp, or should that be stomp? Quality house music for the believers out there. More

The Black Madonna returns to Home Taping with another classic release in the making! 'We Still Believe' captures that early sound of Chicago when you could still hear the Euro and Italo influences as they were re-interpreted through the beat boxes and synthesisers of the Windy City, and made to jack. On the flip, Home Taping favourite The Revenge delivers his own take on that classic sound with an understated and yet pumping rework. Packed full of authentic beatbox sounds and warehouse style keys, it works it to the boom boom. Last but not least, The Black Madonna finishes off the package with Say My Name - a dirty, menacing and incessant groove that makes out like a wild new street dance that just got turned loose. The Black Madonna is here to stay! More
