Leftroom continues its fine run of EPs (recent outings have come from Kate Simko, Sam Russo, William Djoko, Matt Tolfrey and others) with a first appearance on the label from Lil Mark. Born Mark Currell, Lil Mark has been producing top-notch house since 2001 when he appeared on Classic and Music For Freaks, and more than a decade later still puts most of his peers to shame. The two tracks he supplies here come with remixes from Matt Tolfrey and Matthew Styles. First up is '1994', a house track with a heavily vocodered vocal that works to a peak with elastic synths and slapping claps helping to drive the thing along. Peppered with little pricks and ticks, bubbles and pops it's an arresting joint that pleasingly recalls the old school but in a less than obvious fashion. It's boss Matt Tolfrey who tackles the re-rub. Naming it his 'Freedom To Party Mix' he opts to pin the whole ting around an undulating, neon glowing bassline as percussive. It's loose and malleable with FM tones and party-fuelled percussion helping to colour the overall picture. Lil Mark's 'Dark of Pain' is another tight as hell house joint with finger clicks and buried deep synth line setting the early tone. Despite the pace and tightness of it all, there is a micro funk which emerges as the tune plays on that really gets under your skin. It's Ostgut Ton amd Running Back associate and all round-revered producer Matthew Styles that turns in a 'Tropicana Remix' of this one. He ups the drum quotient and stiches in a bobbling, grubby bassline before unhinging things at the mid point with some nice filters, effects and colourful synth work. A brilliant EP of no nonsense house music from Matt Tolfrey's Leftroom . House Music that goes its own way and is hugely refreshing as a result

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.

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.

This is E.A.R's most star studied release, as J.Cub's new project "The 1/3 Quartet" is his new band. Featuring 2 of the best musicians that are based in the UK. Tim Hutton on horns. Tim is a very established song writer, musician and has worked with Ian Brown, Groove Armada, The Prodigy and even Afrika Bambaataa. JD73 on Keys. JD73 aka Dan Goldman is one of the best keyboard players around, he is even endorsed by Moog, and with that in mind you don't need to know much more! These two genius musicians have been bought together to create a full sounding piece of Jazz Funk fusion written and produced by J.Cub that works well on the dance floor.. On remix duty we have one of Deep House's most sought after producers Nicholas, who brings a great take on the original that gives the whole EP a sound of class and beauty.

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.
