You may well know Bristol's Behling & Simpson for their chunky, slow-mo releases on Futureboogie, 2020 Midnight Visions, Applepips and Outernational, or their underground edits of Faith Evans, Ciara and Julio Bashmore. And you may have heard their tunes in sets by people like Jackmaster, X-Press 2, Tensnake, Midland, Funk D'Void and Pete Tong, amongst others. For this 4 track EP on Berlin's Exploited Records, the duo continue their run of exquisitely produced, distinctive house music, retaining their unique sound whilst also embracing faster tempos than previously.

2 classic Ciara R'n'B vocals, refixed by Behling & Simpson in their trademark chunky slow house style. Following their extremely well received edits of Faith Evans 'Love Like This' and Julio Bashmore 'Father Father' on Boogiefuturo, the production duo from Bristol - known for their records on Futureboogie, 2020 Midnight Visions, Applepips and Outernational - finally release their long-awaited refixes of Ciara's classic tunes 'Like A Surgeon' and 'Goodies'. Strong early support from Jackmaster, who used 'Surgeon' in his 2012 Mastermix, as well as X-Press 2, Midland, Redlight and Eliphino, has led to a steady wave of requests for these edits for over a year, resulting in this limited vinyl-only release through Rubadub distribution.

After four impressive releases from the likes of Ossie and Behling & Simpson, 2020 Midnight Visions kicks of its attack on 2013 with a new EP from the UK’s Doc Daneeka. Last year saw Doc team up with Benjamin Damage for a well received full length on 50 Weapons, They Live!, which stood apart for its pioneering hybridisation of house, bass and techno. Here, on his own terms, Doc explores a more extroverted, melodically rich variant of bass heavy house across all four tracks. ‘Day By Day’ slowly percolates on lush pads and skippy percussion until flourishing into a reserved yet euphoric track with the arrival of a gauzy old soul sample. From there warm pulses of sub bass prop the lush and rousing arrangement until the end. ‘Just Say The Words’ is another cautiously joyous track with nimble neon chords bringing plenty of dynamism to the buried deep cry of “yes I will”. Rubbery beats sound clean and crisp, lending a most modern and contemporary edge to this new school house template. B1 sees ‘Everyday’ teasing out frazzled synth lines above a booming bottom end that bounces in time with another well­placed diva wail. Shades of Julio Bashmore lurk within and the end result is familiar feelings of house joy achieved in fresh and unfamiliar ways. Finally, ‘Sunset to Neath’ is of a darker, deeper mood, where prowling sub tones lend menace to the chill of icy chords up

2020 Midnight Visions return with another superb ep of fresh club music. The third release on the new offshoot label comes from Holland's Presk whose previously released on Ramp offshoot Fourth Wave and on Doc Daneeka's Ten Thousand Yen label. This EP follows where those left off mixing techno, skippy garage drums, and classic house styles with a close eye on the rave. The two a-side tracks 'Nobody Makes Me Do' and 'Akola' are cut from the same cloth, channeling classic electro and jackin house styles with choice vocals samples, but with an undeniable 2012 twist and are both aimed squarely at the dance. Cerano City on the flip takes a slightly different route to the dancefloor, with its hypnotic Detroit pads and definite C2 influence, in the right hands at the right time this will cause some serious damage. This is another excellent EP from 2020 Midnight Visons and another clear statement of their intent to release forward thinking club music

2020 Midnight Visions follow up the excellent Photomachine debut ("As an overall statement of intent, it's a bold and successful one." Resident Advisor) with a killer EP from Ossie. His previous EP's were released on Hyperdub and Lightworks with 'Tarantula' making Fact's top 50 tracks of 2011. He also supplied a killer remix to the massive Joe Goddard track 'Gabriel', and recently released an excellent EP as Black Orange Juice on Somethinksounds, which saw him collaborate with Paul Black and Orial, who he brings along to supply live vocals on this new EP. Coming from the London underground scene Ossie is definitely a name to watch, he effortlessly blends garage, classic house and R&B influences into an infectious sound that he can call his own. Whether working with a full vocal on Super Cali, the lush strings of Love Crazy or dealing with classic house styles on Housedabass Ossie operates with a deft touch and builds his tracks with the dancefloor at the forefront of his mind. It's rare that an EP unites the different house and garage tribes, but early reactions to the variety of styles on display this EP have seen positive feedback across the board. With a single on Hypercolour later in the year, gigs at fabric, and high profile fans like Benji B and Mary Anne Hobbs Ossie is definitely on the ones to watch list, much like 2020 Midnight Visions who have delivered another fresh take on modern club music.
