In the not so distant past, a certain Chicago house sound found it's way to clubs worldwide. A jacking house sound made up of anything producers could get there hands on. If you had a cool alarm sound, you could throw it under a 909 and watch dancers freak out. DJ Rafael's new EP for On The Prowl is a nod to that era. While he's not using an alarm as his tool, you'll notice the "in your face" style in which it's based upon. Some of you might know Rafael from his earlier Miracles Club releases for Cutters and Mexican Summer. This time around Rafael Fauria joins friend Brian Foote for some on the edge jack tracks which are both packed with acid and foot stomping percussion.

After debuting on the limited Hamilton Dance Records, NYC's own Time Reveals lands itself its first starring role. Comprised of Marcos Cabral and Susan Domelsmith, their new single "Let My Body" is aggressive to say the least. Super jacking hardware sequenced analog synth lines backed with chanting vocal loop punishes the dance floor. The duo turns over their parts for remixing by handful of known artists; John Selway from long time techno fame (check his discogs), Permanent Vacation (as in the record label), and last but not least Canadian freaks Ambalance. The remixes are a nice variety of deep techno, disco house, and slowed down electronics. Highly Recommended!

Looking back at the On The Prowl catalog one will notice the string of Italian producers; Simoncino, Nicholas, Marvin & Guy... OTP's love affair with Italian producers continues with South Italy's Nasty Boy. With a half dozen EPs already under his belt, he continues his forward march down the road of deeper house. His tracks tend to have a lovely melancholy with simple pads, and a vibe that's hard to ignore. To round off the release OTP's very own Runaway (Marcos Cabral & Jacques Renault) find themselves with their first remix since remixing Lauer for Running Back Records. Following in the same path, this remix is both deep, jacking, and playful. Hopefully this is a sign of more Runaway to come.

OTP lands a nice package starring a handful of talent. Headlining the bunch is the mysterious Room 303 with "You Don't Know Me", a solid tail of bittersweet melodies and heartfelt vocals that wouldn't be out of place during strip club after-hours. A2 sees Canadian Sean Roman (who's known for his releases on Hot Creations, Under The Shade, Strictly Rhythm and many more) deliver a joint effort with buddy Dick Diamonds. Together they off us "Dawn Crondlemyers", a bassline driven house track with sprinkled vocals, and a funky synth part snaking around with extreme portamento. The entire B-Side dedicates itself to Germany's Tuff City Kids, the alter ego of Running Back's Gerd Janson and Phillip Laur. They nail two solid mixes of Room 303's "You Don't Know Me", coming up with a change of pace and pushing things into piano and acid house territory...driving and pulsing.

After several go-to 12s on the always reliable Let's Get Lost series, the mysterious Marvin & Guy drop their first On The Prowl release! First up is "Estacy" with driving percussion and a string driven groove that keeps building with subtle drops and hits. Marcos Cabral takes it into deeper territory with his heavy remix, definitely pushing the bottom end for the big room where it should be heard. On the flip we have "Moon Import," a moody rhodes driven vocal track with panning synths to get you in a daze. Then some upbeat disco house with "Shot Me" - a perfect track for your next loft party.

Northern Irish garage/house duo Ric McClelland and Sean Grieve make a guest appearance for NYC's On The Prowl! Some of you might know Ric from Seven Music, NRK, Large Records, Night Drive...etc. Together they join forces for "If You Want / Move Back" with remixes by Giorgio Luceri and Club Silencio, both of whom have had previous releases on OTP (Club Silencio being an alter ego of Robotalco). "If You Want" gets things moving with a deep house style layered with a big upfront bassline and super lush pads that are straight outta Detroit! Built to please big rooms in the early morning. A2 has Club Silencio showing his remix finesse by adding some organ key stabs in the "Gypsey Women" territory. Proper early 90's house vibes but still maintaining a modern edge. "Move Back" shifts the mood toward a more disco feel with balaeric style guitars and laid back and groovey bassline. On the remix Luceri adds his music touch while keeping things driving with steady snare fills and old school drums.

Jacques Renault on flip with some proto-house madness! And NYC's WOOHOO brings ups the party vibes with his disco banger "Nightwalker." All in all the EP has Party Breaks living up to its name and then some. Great record.

Every once in a while a record or in this case an EP comes along and it's so bursting with feel good vibes that even the most cynical dance music listener can't resist. At the mere age of 19, Francisco Davalos is about to grab the attention of many. Simply put, the young mexican has a superb ear for the language of music. After a recent 12" on Nurvous (Nervous Records new sublabel), On The Prowl finds itself lucky to land these four tropical themed disco tinged club bombs. With hints of what made Tensnakes's "Coma Cat" so successful the Bronx skillfully puts together his "Tropical EP" packed with plenty of playful pianos, strings, congas, marimbas... there's no holding back.

The latest offering from Jacques Renault and Marcos Cabral?s On the Prowl features the work of Evan Stalker, a Los Angeleno who?s a visual artist by day and a production wiz by night. The four songs included on this 12? are meticulously-layered, lusciously-arranged deep house jams of the highest quality. The record kicks off with ?Parkway,? the chillest of the package. It?s an easy, swinging tune that ebbs and flows like the Pacific during high tide with jittery synth ditties dancing off the atmospheric washes. The A2 is Runaway?s remix, and while they leave the original structure mostly intact, they add some oomph to the bass kicks and distort the melodies, fuzzing and glitching them out to yield a more hard-edged final product. The flip?s first tune, ?Downtown,? is, as the name implies, of a more urban nature, and definitely intended for a late-night warehouse rager. Anxiously, the song pushes ahead with an aggressive, pumping bass line and frantic, sharp synth chords, assertive handclaps, and a hi-hat that?s got plenty of swagger. The 12? wraps up with ?Need Your Love,? which finds Stalker picking up the pace even more, this time embracing an acid house aesthetic. The four tracks come together to form a little narrative that begins with a cool night drive down the Pacific Coast Highway and ends up deep in L.A.?s after-hours party circuit.

Marcos Cabral and Jacques Renault's latest On the Prowl 12" features the return of Andy Ash, the man who dropped "Another World" with them last year (OTP007) as well as a grab of edits on OTP Party Breaks way back in 2010. As is to be expected with the talented, young producer, the EP is all groovy, bouncy, high-octane house with a hardy injection of disco glitz.
"Get Loose" is what its name implies--an elastic, fidgety whirl of dancey guitar strums; a heavy bass that pans in and out, mimicking the experience of opening the door to an underground club; and a playful keyboard melody. "Love Me Straight" is a spacier affair, with a lounge-y pulse and hypnotic synth hook that creeps in, out, and around your ears. The Deep Space Orchestra remix amps up the bass of the original, making the entire track sound like it's being played under water. And "You Show Me" is a perfect example of Ash's trademarks all coalescing into one big pile of shuffling dance floor fun--you can almost see the swirling disco ball lights through your eyelids and feel the smoke machine juice snake into your nostrils.

For the second installment of On the Prowl X?another offshoot of the parent imprint?label honcos Marcos Cabral and Jacques Renault have dug up an exciting newcomer to the world of house music: Epithet. The 12" kicks off with "Bluenote," a moody, deep groove that smoothly creeps up in a swirl of maraca shakes, snaps, and sensual vocals. The second a-side cut, "Lightpipe," is a funkier affair, the throbbing, underscoring beat sounding lopsided, disoriented?definitely a hypnotic, late-night burner that will linger in your ear long after the strobes and smoke machines have been powered down. The flip features a remix of "Bluenote" by the Finnish mainstay Roberto Rodriguez, who's had recent success on 20/20 Vision's sublabel, Fina. Rodriguez deftly adds a few more bells and whistles to the original?a marimba here, a fidgety synth there?to inject the jam with a fresh take on classic New York/New Jersey house. Together, the three songs ooze into one another as though they're each different sections of a single continuous piece, and represent the latest OTP aural sucker punch.

On The Prowl appears to be on a roll with it's new found artists. Following up Robotalco's success on the previous OTP, Giorgio lands himself in anthem territory. The A1 track "More Heart" is big, catchy, and totally feel good house vibes with disco styled horn flourishes. The A side inside cut "Basement 6D22" takes us near Kerri Chandler with delayed brassy chord stabbing and long organ pads. Flipping the record over reveals a stunning slo mo disco house workout, filled with jam style organ riffs and amazing synth horn parts. For B2 we get a Perscription style deep house track with all the right dark drifting chords. Excellent release.

Following up his successful foray of sampling on OTP Party Breaks, Andy Ash finds himself diving head first into the darker outer limits of big room dance music. ?Another World? nods its head to techno?s yesteryear, more specifically Detroit. Imagine a slower version of the Motor City?s soulful chord pulsing sound and you?ll find yourself in the right ballpark. Add to this Andy?s finishing jacking touch and the result is golden. This time around OTP?s remix work finds Italian man of the hour Nicholas, from No More Hits (label) fame and OTP?s very own Marcos Cabral.
