Continuing to prove it’s a label with two fingers very much on the pulse, the fast-divers- ifying Retrofit imprint offers up a thoroughly varied EP from French producer DJ Steef aka Frédéric Berthet. The Marseille based producer crafts everything from deep, sample-laden disco to warm grooving house for labels like Gomma and Toy Tonics while picking up ample support from DJ’s like James Murphy, Andrew Weatherall, and Tim Sweeney. Steef’s Retrofit debut kicks off with ‘Ghost Producer.’ Infectious motown-esque vocals, energetic piano and a stripped but jacking groove make it ripe for summer dancefloors. ‘Como Un Dios Del Olimpo’ takes things down a much deeper road - a hypnotic Spanish chant is the guide while a disco bassline chugs under soaring pads and arpeggios.Australian producer Mic Newman (aka Fantastic Man) of FINA, Freerange, and Murmur takes the original vox and pads, and weaves them into a shuffling, melodic number that manages to sound lazy and low slung while maintaining a direct-to-the-dancefloor feel. On ‘Soul of Calypso,’ Steef rounds out the package with a percussive workout that still retains an understated musicality about it. More

For its 2nd 4 track V/A EP Foto welcomes more new artists to the roster in the form of Andy Hart & Max Graef (AU), MermaidS (UK), and Riff Clichard (Outer Space). Label boss OOFT! also contributes a track on the A-Side, with the wallowing “Jareth’s Revenge” blending strings, samples, bass and more into a 110bpm roller. Next up the Aussie dudes Andy Hart & Max Graef craft a funking slow house jam in the shape of “Dem Young Jabronis”, all warm chords and bumping beats. Over on the flip MermaidS show why they’re some serious contenders for a big breakthrough this year – “Run With The Night” shifts through the gears for 5 minutes before breaking into downright euphoric territory. Rounding things off the mysterious Riff Clichard takes some time out from polishing his Intergalactic Jensen Interceptor to chop up some 80s beats to give us “Through With Love”

For Foto’s 8th release OOFT! supplies 3 tracks of deep and meaningful house music. The A side “Arbitrary” stakes out its intentions early with a solid groove and dubbed out stabs. A little vocal in the main breakdown increases the tension before it all kicks back in with a reassuring thud. On the flip “Galaxy High” is equally deep but opts for some Juno chords and soaring strings to bring it life. Finally on “LGB” some 80s soul samples are worked in to a slightly tougher electronic jam.

Prodigal sons the Deep Space Orchestra return to Foto with the mighty ?Blindsided? track. Starting off with a simple looping refrain and some classic house drums Blindsided develops into big Detroit territory with de-tuned toms and the trademark DSO layered synth action for an atmospheric ride. Definitely one for getting the dancefloor in gear. Over on the flip the two remixes from Medlar (Wolf Music) and another Foto regular Andy Ash are equally as good. Medlar opts for shuffling drums and a dose of the funk whilst Andy turns in a classy bumping electronic workout. Our kind of house music for 2012. More

Mr Bratley drops 2 slo-house workouts on his Foto debut. This Sound is big and brash with insistent stabs and filter sweeps over the top of some thumping pitch-down house beats. On the flip things get even heavier with Get Up, a dark, pulsating beast which ups the jack factor whilst maintaining a slow tempo. To round things off label boss OOFT! pulls This Sound into solid deep house territory with a smoother mix which still contains some serious bottom-end.
