Riding high on the wings of their previous release ?Pulling Strings? on their Red Series, Eclectic Avenue Records bring us REAR002 ?Deep In It? by Small Giants. Small Giants is the wonderfully ingenious marriage between Leeds based label manager Jacob Kelly (J.Cub) and the Chicago house legend Joshua Iz. Combining their skills, they have taken a heady guitar lick, underpinned it with a smoothly infectious bassline and sewn it all together with a warm soothing vocal sample. Call it house, call it disco. Either way, it?s a surefire dancefloor killer and will take pride of place in any DJ or collector?s record box. Flip her over for a remix by Leeds darlings PBR Streetgang. Currently the hottest thing to come out of dance music?s unofficial capital, the cheeky duo have put their own twist on the original by filling the track out with some chuggier deeper vibes whilst highlighting the instrumental solos. A hugely successful foray into a funkier tone for what promises to be another trophy in the E.A.R cabinets. More

Eclectic Avenue welcomes the inimitable Lil' Mark, one of the true stalwarts of the UK house scene & regular contributor to some of the finest imprints Worldwide. Here Mark expertly shows his unique knack for genre-straddling. Kicking off with "Pulling Strings" more familiar Lil' Mark territory, with his trademark tight-as-hell percussion & firing bass sat below a freaked-out twisting riff. Seriously, this bad-boy takes no prisoners....other than the ones on the dancefloor.... On the flipside we're treated to "Memoirs", a beautifully sumptous lo-slung roller, utilising a vox refrain over the top of a glorious rolling bass groove; like being comforted by a welcoming acid-bass-hug, this is truly something special. Nestled inbetween Mark's original cuts is E.A.R. main-man J.Cub, who offers up an alternate interpretation of "Memoirs"l. Taking the vox refrain & weaving it throughout the track like an instrument, J.Cub nudges the tempo up slightly & adds a solid percussive backdrop & a reworked bass groove, creating a cut which is deep enough to warm the crowd but packs a solid punch at the same time.

Needless to say that E.A.R is very happy to of signed an E.P off Luke Solomon. Luke's "Say Something" was recorded using live musicians, vocals, and drums, this is something that E.A.R love doing and bringing the talent of live music into a club environment and Luke has done this perfectly. The original boasts a good feel vocal with breathtaking production, whilst the "Dub Something" brings it into the clubs for the Deep House crowd. Now dim the lights and focus on the heavier darker side of Lukes mind as he brings the "Do Something" mix in to a peak time track. More

One of the strongest House producers of all time Joshua IZ show us that its not all about House, and brings his Dubwise monkier and brings us some sunshine on wax. Both of the original tracks ooze class and style. On the flip side one of the men of the moments Simoncino Funks up one mix then takes you to a Beach with the other.
