From the redwood forests of Big Sur and the industrial warehouses of downtown Los Angeles comes PFEIFFER, a label dedicated to quality and a diverse musical output. Pfeiffer follows in the footsteps of labels such as Svek and Kompakt, known for releasing a wide range of techno and house with a common thread of unique and unpredictable energy. Looking to bring this type of eclectic curation into the modern era, Pfeiffer draws inspiration from the raw simplicity and effortless magnetism of its namesake location on the central coast of California. Pfeiffer’s third release sheds its veil of anonymity in style, bringing U.K. pioneers Waze & Odyssey to the label. Hot off the success of their summer smash "Everything," Waze & Odyssey's latest track “Upper Thrust” is a veritable journey, twisting and turning through deft synth stabs, ravey vocal cuts, and a dreamy breakdown. The Chicago influence is clear, but it’s truly a beast all its own. On the flip side, label head Chris Simon offers a dance floor-focused remix centered around a driving groove and a weighty bass riff.

Already heavy hitters on the house music scene since their first releases back in 2012, Waze & Odyssey continue to carve out club burners with such ease, and their first release of 2017 finds a suitably fitting home on Edible. The duo of Firas Waez and Serge Santiago have seemingly not put one step wrong in their ascendency within the house music circuit. Be it releases for labels like Wolf Music, Elrow or their own W&O Street Tracks, or remixes for the likes of Disclosure, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaur and Metronomy, W&O have found that knack of delivering sure fire winners time after time. Already a staple in label boss Eats Everything’s DJ sets, ‘Down With Tha’ has all the hallmarks of a bona fide club classic; if the hyperactive drums and looping vocal refrain doesn’t draw you in enough, then the downright funky bass lick that prominently packs a punch really provides the killer hook. The, quite frankly, face melting breakdown surely seals the deal, and we are anticipating this cut to ring out loud across dancefloors over the coming weeks and months. Competently propping up the release, ‘Seizure’ goes on a spacey, bongo odyssey (geddit?), serving up a rolling, dubby drum workout that culminates in a rather impressive snare roll breakdown that’ll have you frothing at the mouth. Snatches of female vox and whistles are dotted around the galloping jungle drums, whilst the elevating key chimes provide the perfect musical lift. Another slice of completely freshhouse music from W&O!

Having welcomed the likes of Citizen, Ejeca and Rhythm Operator into the W&O Street Tracks fold on the last two releases, label bosses Waze & Oddysey return to helm this fourth edition. Their irrepressible formula for classicist referencing house music is very much on display with lead track "Hold Up (Yeah You)" deftly matching emotive pads with a bumping groove and one of those simple yet oh so very effective vocal hooks. Another potential W&O hit in the making. Flip over and "I Feel Your Worth" might sound more restrained to begin with, but the duo are just teasing; filtered swathes of synths and vocals gradually come to the fore with explosive results

Let’s Play House’s latest endeavor is a no-nonsense imprint, simply dubbed LPH WHITE, which, as the name implies, takes a cue from those mysterious, classic, unmarked dance records of years past. The debut 12” comes courtesy of London-based duo Waze & Odyssey, who, as is to be expected, deliver a couple of top-notch club bangers (the deadly “Feelin’ You” and deeper “Gonna Make This”) that will immediately shred any dancefloor to pieces. The one remix included in the package is by London-by-way-of-Southern California up-and-comer Urulu. (The second WHITE EP will feature four originals by the guy.)

Waze & Odyssey take a break from launching their own label, providing a guest mix for Skream and Benga’s radio show and remixing the likes of TEED and Disclosure to return to Disco Bloodbath Recordings, where they provided a much acclaimed remix to the label’s debut release, Damon Martin - ‘That Ain’t Right’, earlier this year. The two originals here, ‘Love Attack’ and ‘She’s A Hooker’, continue where they left off, providing no-nonsense club trax with a nod to the past and an eye on the future. On the flip, Mark E delivers an outstanding remix, cross-pollinating 80s proto-house with vintage electronics and a distinct “kosmische” flavour to create a mutated, deceptively simple, dancefloor winner.

Py - Swimming Slow Following the beautiful 'Polyethers' released in Autumn 2013, Py returns with a stunning new single 'Swimming Slow', via Champion Records on the 10th March. Absorbing and passionate, 'Swimming Slow' is a beautifully poised track, burning slowly and heavy with remarkable power. Py's trademark, soul-rich voice is fully immersive as her distinctive tones twist and turn, intertwining with luscious melodies and dreamy electronics. A recognized talent who has recently worked with the likes of Maya Jane Coles to Two Inch Punch and Claude Von Stroke, remixes for Py's 'Swimming Slow' come from Citizen, Sweater Beats, Gang Colours and Throwing Snow. Demonstrating the full ability of her unique voice, Py will also record piano, stripped back versions of 'Swimming Slow' at west London's legendary Metropolis Studios, which has seen the likes of Paul McCartney and Madonna grace their studios, to allow her fast-growing fanbase to manipulate Py's voice and beats for their own creative productions. In a year which has seen the London-based singer record at the prestigious Red Bull Studios, work with an array of talented producers from George FitzGerald to Lapalux and Throwing Snow on her debut mixtape, support the likes of Fenech-Soler and MAUSI on tour and gather support from the likes of Zane Lowe at BBC Radio 1 as well as appearances on Throwing Snow's debut album for Houndstooth and the forthcoming Supreme Cuts album, Py's latest effort is her best yet. Set to accelerate her burgeoning reputation as a creative and forward-thinking vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, 'Swimming Slow' will be the catalyst for the rest of the world to sit up and take notice of Py in 2014.

Hot off the back of a single on Moda Black, and a remix of Romanthony on Glasgow Underground. British duo Mia Dora, drop 'You In The Future' via Kerri Chandler's MadTech imprint this November. Title track 'You In The Future' kicks things off, seeing the duo embrace a rawer, more upfront focus in comparison to previous singles. Smoothly shuffled drums lead the way, while cosseting Rhodes, a bumpy, sub-driven bass-line and a classic organ hook build the melodic movement. Things intricately evolve throughout the tracks seven-minute duration, with baroque changes in the structure, and additional elements such as a hypnotic acid line, keeping things intriguing and evolving dynamically as the record blooms. Following is 'After The Dog', the duo again opt for a rough and rugged feel with the drums, while an insistent rounded sub bass drives the groove, and consistently varied classic chord stabs fuel its energy levels. Drawn out reversed sweeps then build tension alongside sporadic percussive rolls, to create a profound impact when reverting back to the sturdy foundations. To close the release Mia Dora offer up an 'Extended Edit' of 'You In The Future', doing exactly as it says on the tin and drawing out the infectious groove for extended mixing pleasure.

Lakosa & iO are third to grace the MadTech roster with their dancefloor banger Home Early, which features remixes by West Norwood Cassette Library and the 17 year old exceptionally talented experimental grime producer Pedro 123. Home Early is a punchy house track weighted by bass and marching with the suave speed of 4/4 house. Its sultry vocals and samples tease the determined beat that drops in and out developing a bold breakdown. The track sits nicely between house and UK bass, giving it the flexibility to sit within an array of styles in future sets and mixes. West Norwood Cassette Library's remix gives the original a disco tinge with the use of strings and vintage sounding samples. The vocal is scrunched and ricochets neatly off the carefully placed beats and samples. The Pedro 123 remix gives the original a smack of grime and a refreshing sound. Pedro stretches the vocal into a smooth echo that drifts over the top of his clipped punching bass line. A grime-tinged wobble and a bassy beat resonates beneath Pedro?s impeccable percussive production.
