LoveHrtz return this Valentines Day with another two track, vinyl only single, and the vibes are set to maximum on this one. The previous release in the LoveHrtz series sold clean out, and is swapping hands on Discogs for silly amounts (not our doing!), so diggers are advised to get on this one without delay. LoveHrtz chop out another brace of feel good, disco bangers, with ‘Music Makes Me High’ and ‘Sweet Style’ already picking up BBC Radio 1 airplay from Annie Mac and Danny Howard, and a handful of DJs such as Jamie Jones, Butch, Martinez Brothers and Seth Troxler giving these cuts some serious road testing in the clubs.

LoveHrtz bounce back onto Richy Ahmed’s Four Thirty Two label with a bumper release, brining together two original tracks and remixes from Chicago house don, K’Alexi Shelby, and rising star, Seb Zito. ‘Crazy About Your Love’ is a euphoric and hyperactive house track; a Marshall Jefferson-esque piano riff hammers over a pacey groove and classic strings augment the sense of drama in this dramatic vocal track. Seb Zito (FUSE/Edible) provides two remixes here; ‘Remix 1’ pairs quirky organ stabs and a bubbling acid motif with chopped up vocals, whilst ‘Remix 2’ takes a darker route, reminiscent of Sound Factory era NYC house, with a decidedly dubbier and sleazier take on the original. In their original mix of ‘Burning Up’, LoveHrtz deliver more top notch, classic house vibes, with a frenetic and bouncing club heater. Relentless bells, a seductive saxophone riff and a roof-raising vocal, a future classic this does make! House music royalty, in the shape of K’Alexi Shelby, graces Four Thirty Two with his musical presence, remixing ‘Burning Up’ into an everlasting (well, just shy of 10 minutes) slice of pure disco heaven. With a musical curriculum vitae that has contributed to pivotal labels like Trax, DJ International, Djax-Up-Beats, and countless more, K’Alexi sprinkles huge handfuls of feel-good factor over his version of ‘Burning Up’, topping off a huge release package from Four Thirty Two More

Having previously collaborated as SYT for releases on Sabres of Paradise and also having had releases on Hard Hands, DJ Scott James and producer, writer and musician Chris Hayne teamed up once again forming Sound Virus to share their more esoteric dancefloor visions. 'Swirl' was originally appeared in 1995, a limited vinyl only release on their own imprint Lux Recordings, First up 'Follow Your Feet' opens with haunting synths that lead into razor sharp percussion and a forceful b-line that drives the track to a mesmeric peak, whilst a repetitive vocoded vocal stirs the electro soul. 'Continuum' heads off into electo-tech territory, defty programmed breakbeats underpin the filthiest of bass lines making this track a true dancefloor devastator. 'Swirl' takes a deeper approach, with pumping bass and driving beats supporting lush chords and a subtle, chiming synth riff. EP closer 'Bossa Blue Dub' drops the tempo slightly for a more other-worldly chug, whilst remaining no less compelling. This EP is a true rarity that has achieved a cult status amongst the most discerning DJs and record collectors alike. It has been legitimately re-released with the full involvement of Scott James and Chris Hayne from Sound Virus and Lux Recordings, lovingly remastered by London's Curve Pusher from the original sources especially for Mint Condition. 100% legit, licensed and released. Dug, remastered, repackaged and brought to you by the caring folks at your favourite reissue label - Mint Condition! More

They were recorded between 1997-2004 and if you can find any OGs then you will be paying upwards of 100 quid for them. This slab has three driving but deep sounds carefully detailed with wispy pads and filtered vocals for perfect backroom deployment. More

The legendary NYC label Nu Groove commits another pair of releases to wax, this time featuring recent tracks from Swiss producer Deetron and underground house staple Bruise. Inspired by the soulful techno and house birthed in Detroit, Deetron relaunched Nu Groove alongside NYC house legend Jovonn in 2021 before returning with a two-track release in 2023. The lead, ‘Runnin’’, offers sharp house built from the creative use of loops and noise manipulation, while ‘AM_909’ is noted for its more dreamlike quality. Two tracks from Bruise’s Nu Groove debut ‘Transit EP’ follow, as the Birmingham born producer Christian Campbell delivers ‘Sway’, aptly named for its low-slung beats and ethereal builds, while ‘Getup’ is more reminiscent of gems from the original Nu Groove catalogue.
