After an absence of fifteen years, Jamie Read reignites his Push II Shove label with a fresh EP under his LHAS moniker. Those with a keen interest in contemporary house music will no doubt be familiar with LHAS jammers for Housewax, Vibrations, Knoe, Cynic and more in recent times, and Read's career stretches back over the past 20 years and includes numerous credited and uncredited releases. The self explanatory Push II Shove 3 EP sees Read return to his own label in style with four new productions steeped in the LHAS style.

The Larry Heard Appreciation Society returns !!
For those newbies at the back, LHAS is the work of Jaime Read, whose celebrated releases over the last 20 odd years on labels like Ugly Music, Golf Channel, Fragmented etc etc have kept him - quite rightly - at the top of class for on-point homages to golden era Chicago House & early Techno.
Utilising a familiar, authentic sound palette, LHAS manages to be at once familiar, timeless and yet right up to date and relevant on floors still underpinned by the same sonic blueprint.
This new selection is, in our humble opinion, up there with his best. From atmospheric, glacial machine groovers to deep, disembodied vocal joints, to an uplifting retro-Chicago workout and, last but by no means least a spectacular late-night jam which manages to drive via Sterling Void & Marcus Mixx, to all new alien destinations...
Top class, for your head and your ass ! More

For Those That Knoe: A new label from the UK focusing on under the radar tracks recorded by unsung heroes, ripped from dusty DATs and lovingly re-mastered and pressed onto vinyl for likeminded people and music collectors alike. Jaime Read as LHAS is one of the unsung heroes on the UK house scene, initially making house music brimming with Chicago jazz flavours and disco tendencies in the mid-90s. Deep from Jaime's archives come three funk-filled melodic analogue jams, all with their own unique character yet still encapsulating Jaime's individual take on Chicago jack. "Deep In Plumpton" graces the Aside with its meltingly warm bassline, crisp offbeat claps, scattered percussion and glimmering jazz keys. It's a freeform composition with a fluid arrangement and layers of melody enveloping a bottom-shaking groove. It's musically brilliant, catchy and involving, moving the heart and soul as well as getting bums to wiggle. "On the QT" sits in p erfect d eep house territory with syncopated hats, rumbling bass and dreamy pads. A spacey lead and sparkling arpeggiator are teased in towards the end of the arrangement to complement the track, which could slot easily into Prescription's back catalogue. "Mania" speaks for itself, taking inspiration from one of the most well-known Chicago House labels it's a manic bouncing ball of jacking house with playful synth leads, scorching hats and distorted kicks. Aimed squarely at the dance floor it's as current and fresh as it would have been in 1995. Bangin'!
