Info:
Poker Flat capture Mark Henning in a rich vein of form for this EP of deadly deep and intense tech house. For almost a decade, the Anglo-German, Berlin-based DJ has turned out consistent releases on an array of underground labels, but here his trademark combination of darkness, swing and technoid funk reaches new levels. "Pusher" is a modern masterpiece: tough, crisp and fine-tuned for deployment on Stonehenge-sized speaker stacks, it's a tune that envelops you, the introduction of each individual element staggered for maximum effect. "Somebody let me get my sh*t," the repeated vocal declares: a request the tune responds to magnificently. The kinetic shuffle of "Swingers" follows a similar trajectory, overwhelming the listener with its relentless energy.
Through the simple yet spooky Hitchcockian device of a single repeated piano note "Triple 13" hypnotises, a trippy snatch of processed vocal providing a hallucinatory edge, while "Satin" explores dreamier territory with a reverberating New Age synth motif. All four tracks are masterclasses in restraint from a producer who can combine deceptively simple elements to make a resounding and inimitable emotional impact. Aptly named, this 12" is simply the only drug you'll need.

First of all we're fans of Digitaline since the first hour. We're more than proud to present their third EP on Cityfox. Another time they combine their distinctive grooves with unforeseeable melodies. That's exactly what we love about them - always expect the unexpected. 'Wanna' is the best example for this winning formula. Out of the clear sky, suddenly you get hypnotized by a huge repetitive hook. Simple and complex at the same time. Dynamic in its purest form. 'Stuck Off The Realness' represents another well known strength of Digitaline - an irresistible rhythm construct combined with abrubt vocals opening a mental and psychedelic brightness. This is something for your body, brain and soul. We made the right decision asking John Tejada to remix 'Wanna'. He adds his own flavour but never loses the original spirit. Pushing it to an almost meditative point before starting all over again with Digitaline's main melody. We would describe this package as contemporary, yet modern and timeless music.

Mike Shannon steps up to the Cityfox LTD plate and squeezes the jack juice on his latest offering for Cityfox LTD entitled Foxology. It's a 3 track (5 digital) session of deep jazzy basslines and smooth cuts. We start things off with 'Foxology feat. Flowing', a twistedly deep smoothy of a house cut with Shannon's signature shuffle groove and warped dynamic basses featuring some wicked Blues harp action from Amsterdam's Flowing. Foxology's B-side is home to 'Foxwell' and 'Zukunftstrasse', the former being a rather hot number bubbling with bouncing bass, whereas 'Zukunftstrasse' is even more laid back and down tempo, while still playing your mind with it's sonic insight to the distant future. Digitally, you have the pleasure of Foxology feat. Flowing (Dubmix), taking things deeper than before. Digital buyers will also receive the 'Spritz Mix' with it's emphasis on percussion and mood, this sounds like a whole new track. Leaving the Jazz at home in favor of a bubbling Detroit style deep jack mix.

This time Cityfox takes it a creepy step deeper into Techno. Seph comes with his hands full of bass energy in the form of the Suzbu EP. 3 tracks, all of which will blow your speaker if you let em. "Genbu" doesn't play around, straight to the deep bass kick and whirring, like a machine powering up after a long hibernation. Vocal lines make you mad as the melody repeats. High energy track is a great way to begin explaining this track. "Suzaku" picks it right up where "Genbu" left, vocal cuts, deep kick, and wide melodies. Thick and sharp, techno at one of it's finest moments.
Produced together with Pablo Denegri, we come to "Unti". A nitemareish world of machines and persussion leading you through the night, making your way to groovy baselines and cool melody.
