After a bit of a quiet period, Moods & Grooves returns with a heavy hitter – GU (fka Glenn Underground). An icon from the 2nd generation of Chicago house music producers, GU by far is the most prolific. Back to the Basic is a concept through which he returns to the roots of Chicago house when producers made the music, not a computer or program.

"Deepness is A Way Of Life" kicks off the EP with the title very aptly describing the contents - lush deep house with a sublime piano line setting it off just right.

New 12" from Moods & Grooves, with Andre Lodemann the man behind the tracks here. "Flying" is a percussive houser than grows and grows, building on top of a great bassline as it's backbone, and surrounding that with shuffling beats and melodic chords, and then giving it a bit of a dubby overhaul for some quality late night house. On the reverse, "Jay Lee" combines a riffing guitar with a funky bassline and crisp beats on this tracky minimal groover that again has dubby touches throughout. Last up is "Seka", blending fractured shuffling beats with a dubby bassline, great organ play, and plenty of delays for a dubbed out recliner cut. More

First full length release from John Tejada and Arian Leviste, with "The Dot And The Line" being a very organic form of house, and not the usual off-kilter techno you would expect from Mr. Tejada at all.

More deep and moody grooves from Mike Grant's label. GREG STADFORD is behind the monkier Black Art who's previous production credits have included mixes of Blake Baxter's seminal 'Deep N Da Groove' ep. Nice and Jazzy the favourite cut is 'Just Groovin' a wicked blend of St Germain keys and funky organ riffs, over some skippy Detroit drums. 'Dig This' is a mellow late night journey of psychedelic horns and guitar licks with dreamy pianos floating over the top. 'Sweet' is more on a broken jazz tip with live drums and a cute vocal snip that dubs itself over the rhodes bed. The production quality of this ep is stunning. Very strong stuff from M & G! More
