Essential reissue!! The producer and dj from Chicago Joey Kay published in 1994 an EP that soon became a favorite of the 90s house DJs around the world: 'Eclectiz Ep'. The legendary label House Jam Records was responsible for editing and selling it. Nowadays, in 2016 (22 years later) the owners of the label Bons Records have been in contact with Joey Kay and they have been quick to reach an agreement to make a remastered edition of the great Eclectiz Ep including the same tracks that the original version but at an affordable price to everyone, not favoring the speculation around these kind of musical gems, mostly in platforms like Discogs. 'Eclectiz Ep' has been remastered by Robert Feuchtl (Fat Of Excellence)

Following the success of its first release by the ever elusive Jason Grove, the vinyl-only sub-label Skylax Extra Series returns with a little something beyond special. For those house-heads in the know, the man needs no introduction, but for those uninitiated, sit back and prepare for this double 12” selection to further your education in house music.Joey Kay hails from Chicago in the US and has influenced a great many producers in the last two decades with his signature take on the deep house sound. He keeps things simple in the best possible sense of the word, stripping back tracks to their bare essentials in order to maintain what the spirit of house music is all about: the groove, the soul and the feeling of being carefree, even if only experienced for a few minutes at a time. There are no superfluous or ancillary sounds in Joey’s music and this is all the more evident when taking a step back and listening to his spectrum of output in this collection, which spans more than twenty years of his career.

A choice selection of four deep. sultry floorfillers from four different artists across this new 12" from 124 Recordings. 'Come To Me' by Chris Fry heads up the selection with sturdy four-to-the-floor foundations hinting a original US garage vibes, all embellished with classy, oozing strings and a stickier-than-gum vocal refrain. Heat Alliance's '74 Streets' is a tad slower and dubbier and as its title suggests, revels in its rude funk and sparkly disco influences processed through some subtly modern filtering action. 'Amsterdam' from Kit Mason combines tripper FX with an irresistible, chunky groove, reminiscent of the soulful delirium of Felix da Housecat's finer moments, while 'Bit Mania' by Nicola Brusegan draws proceedings to a close with a celebratory, summer-slanted slice of uplift built around a nifty 70s-style funky guitar lick. Lots of variety, but everything here is going to get feet headed towards the dancefloor without doubt.

For 124 Recordings' 4th release, Austrian producer Fabe steps up, and with the help of 2 killer remixes, delivers an EP that ticks all the boxes.
The original "Dusty Chords" starts as it means to go on with a baseline that instantly draws you into the groove before the chords lighten the mood and show you what this track is all about. Lush pads lift the track again and the ever evolving sounds keep you well and truly locked in as the track twists and turns to it's climax. Swiss man of the moment Washerman is first up on remix duties taking a more direct route. His trademark beats are quick to get going before playing in his own riff with the original chords. Lush pads again provide a lift and vocal snippets from the original give this remix a real feel good vibe. Rounding the EP off in style is a slow burning and deeper mix from Desos. Blissed out chords and a floating string are complimented by a killer baseline to give this track an irresistible contrast that makes it perfect for warming up the club. Support from Milton Jackson,Washerman,James Johnston, Jason Bye(We Love@Space/Playmore Terry's) & Desos.

Release #003 see’s the introduction of three French producer's, all are based in Paris with a passion and love for the house sounds from Chicago and Detroit forming a blueprint for the 'Dubble Dubs'EP.First up is Karol Herse aka K-One with 'Escape',a thunderous kick and skipping percussion with hypnotic chords that builds before a great drop takes things down,before building it all back up again into the second half of the track.Next up is Janeret's 'Let's Get Back' with a deep rumbling bassline,raw stab's and almost jazz influenced organ sound takes us back to the early American House sounds of the early 90's,recreating the pure uplifiting nature of those tracks with a modern sensibility perfectly.Next up is Manu Sene or St-Sene with the raw and heavy 'Juke Joint',which makes no compromises with its tough old school drum programming,raw chords and cut-up vocal samples leading to a mighty piano breakdown..Last but by no means least is Janeret's second contribution 'NY Flava',the deepest cut on the EP with a warm bassline and sparse percussion underpinning intricate chord progressions and atmospheric pads.The skills of this trio are here for all to see,and this third release will continue to help build 124 Recordings growing reputation. Support from Milton Jackson, Washerman, Nicholas, The Legendary 1979 Orchestra, James Johnston, Lady Blaktronica and Tomska.
