A sonic journey across Tweak's collection tracks that offering a unique blend of rhythm and atmosphere.
"Generations" stands out with its pulsating grooves and hypnotic melodies, fusing electronic precision with an old-school soul. The "Red Rover" (Rework) injects fresh energy, layering tight beats and atmospheric synths for a tension-filled club experience. "Fathorn" dives into darker, tribal territory, driven by deep bass and mesmerizing percussion that evoke a ritualistic intensity. Meanwhile, Raw Deal’s Freedom Time remix of "Fathorn" expands on this mysticism, infusing the track with a freer, more fluid groove that heightens its immersive power.
For this record, Back To Life made a 100% recycled vinyl that reduce waste, minimize environmental impact and support the planet.

If you say Brawther you mean trip, like the cities he lived in (Paris, Leeds, Lisbon) and the countries where his DJ's sets have been (Sweden, Japan, UK).
Back To Life with this collection wants to propose a journey, with music.
Directly from one of his first productions on My Love Is Underground, "Don't Go" has been defined: "a very dark track with violent beats that can be used in a hard deep house or strong techno set! Very good use of vocals with a sensual female voice." "Negentropy" is perfect for club use. Someone says: "the kinda Deep gem that plays in your head for weeks."
Last but not least "VXVXVX" taken from the Balance label is a true classic of the modern deephouse.

Collecting Orders For Repress!

Melchior Productions Ltd. returns to his own My King Is Light imprint with a brand-new 12"—this time alongside Romanian-Russian pianist-producer Mischa Blanos, one third of the acclaimed Amorf trio, Jupiter Tracks pt. 1 is a beautiful record, deep and emotional, as if beamed in from another world—yes, Jupiter.

Across “Push,” “First Eva,” and “Spirit Of 23,” the pair interlace meticulous programming and crystalline sound design into an ever-shifting strain of minimal house. Dispensing with overt drama, the EP zooms in on nuance: textures flicker between digital shimmer and tactile grit, while Melchior’s trademark restraint leaves ample space for Blanos’s melodic Midas touch to radiate quietly.

Originally released in 2010 via Jesse Rose’s Made To Play label, Oliver Dollar’s ‘Doin Ya Thang’ has gained iconic House track status.

Built around a stripped-back rhythm and its infectious swing make sure it’s still a favourite among DJs. Now picked up by Defected this is the first official reissue on vinyl since its original release.

Soul Quest Records returns with Maintain Altitude 2, a fearless, floor-focused statement that
captures the pulse of London’s underground while stretching its sound across borders. This
second instalment doesn’t just build on the energy of the first; it elevates it, locking into a groove
that feels both timeless and future-facing. Deep house, broken beat, jazz-infused electronics it’s
all here, and it hits hard.
Opening the release, Slxm Sol - Lead The Way sets the tone with lush Rhodes chords, rich
low-end warmth, and unmistakable soul. Featuring the hypnotic vocals of Legzdina, the track is
a late-night guide through deep, emotive house, refined, immersive, and quietly powerful. It’s a
statement from an artist who continues to define the label’s sonic identity.
Next up, Max Sinàl & KingCrowney - A Bit Mad deliver exactly what the title promises, a loose,
live-feeling cut that fuses UK jazz sensibilities with broken beat energy. KingCrowney’s trumpet
work dances over Max’s signature production, creating something raw, musical, and undeniably
London.
Amsterdam’s rising talent steps in with Misto Kay - Bruklynn, a playful yet intricate debut on the
label. Jazz-rooted keys meet unexpected rhythmic turns, keeping dancers guessing while
maintaining a deep, rolling groove. It’s fresh, musical, and full of personality.
Lisbon-based producer Berkeley Hunt - Speed Jazz follows with a dusty, high-tech jazz heater,
swung drums, chopped samples, and synth lines that blur the line between experimentation and
dancefloor pressure. It’s gritty, it’s clever, and it absolutely slaps.
Returning to the fold, Real Love Seeker - Mood Swings taps into that golden-era 90s house
feeling, think Mood II Swing energy with a modern edge. Soulful, driving, and built for
heads-down moments, it’s a reminder that simplicity, when done right, still reigns supreme.
Closing out the release, Streeton - Ride (Feat. Faro) brings broken beat back into focus. Faro’s
lush, heartfelt vocals glide over organic grooves and textured instrumentation, creating a track
that feels both intimate and expansive, the perfect final lift-off.
Behind the release stands Soul Quest’s core ethos pushing soulful, forward-thinking club music
without compromise. With a roster that spans emerging innovators and established voices,
Maintain Altitude 2 isn’t just a compilation, it’s a snapshot of a movement.
