Vinyl Only. Fresh from releases on the legendary Vibraphone and Robsoul labels, alongside their own long-running Bosconi imprint, Fabio Della Torre & Ennio Colaci aka Minimono join the Inner Balance family for an EP of four fine house dishes. Each cut gives us a different taste of classic house, from the sharp Melchior shuffle of 'Goblin' to the sweet rhodes and walking bassline of 'On The Edge', which wouldn't sound out of place in the Fair Park catalogue. 'Still Alive' is a light confection of soft pads topped with subtle improvisations, while 'This Side Of The Forest' delivers a more flavoursome Sir Lord Commix-style groove. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Vinyl only. Inner Balance welcomes French duo Arcarsenal, whose super-refined analog improvisations have found premium company on labels like Finest Hour, Underground Quality and their own Bass Cadet Records. Meditative, cyclical, distilled grooves with a fierce low-end are the order of the day, placing this EP squarely in the nearly 25 year-old lineage drawn from Maurizio through Bluetrain and Thor and in to the bags of the Verveines and Cloutiers of today. Whether it’s the reverb-laden soundscapes of the A-side or the loopy mind-traps on the flip, these four tracks will animate and intrigue in equal measure.

French producer Keumel makes a poised vinyl debut on the Inner Balance imprint, with three originals of fine skipping house and a remix by Imprints head Domenico Rosa. “Laïka” is an afternoon space-walk in the vein of vintage Derek Carr, its synths, hats and mid-track acid line surfing light and breezy over a scudding, bumping bassline. Rosa’s remix strikes a more contemplative note by placing a soft breakbeat under the acid line and airborne pads. “No Chill” is a fast-tempo stripped-down house jam that kicks to the sound of the label’s father figure Chez Damier and his contemporaries. “Space Birds” rounds out the EP by building a slowburn groove out of which a lightly-warped acid line slinks part-way through.
