Following the success of the Consumer EP by fellow label owner James Johnston comes the Praise EP by Alex Agore, and it's a true return to form for him on No Matter What. The record opens with the title track "Praise" - an inspired tribute to gospel music, keeping all the soul but reimagining it into something more infectious. Uplifting keys combine with vocals that will have you trying your best to sing-a-long, over a bass groove that holds it all together. "Falling" is a slower affair, with its dream-like chords, airy synthwork, cowbell hits and seamless hats. A perfect track to start a night or to end one. The B-side completes the package with two undeniable house jams. You will soon realise how much you like "There's No Love" when its skippy vocal is stuck in your head, hours after hearing it for the first time. "I Can Feel You" closes out the EP on a deeper note which will have you thinking of moments when the sun is about to rise, yet the night is far from over.

The Deep Down Slam label has Alex Agore supply some Rhodesy house for their third release. Swooning organs and various clatters of hats and percussion rattle "Show U Love" while stretched out synths lay spread over a syncopated bassline and cut vocals in "Get Dub". "No Name 3" sees more luscious Rhodes and chimey organs play out a dancey house melody, while "We Can't Talk" adds more chordal riffage to an EP which screams house music More

After a smash debut release that had house heads from around the globe taking notice, No Matter What Records is back with a vengeance for their second release. This time around label co-founder Alex Agore takes the lead with 4 tracks of raw underground house deepness that channels the energy and spirit from dance floors of long ago. Alex kicks things off on side A with the beautiful "Stay Together". A sizzling cymbal slices its way through the twisting game between the warm bassline, brooding deep chords and soulful vocals creating a perfect harmony. Alex continues this momentum right into the inside cut of the A side with "It's Not Important". A bright heart felt piece that keeps it simple and focuses on what really matters: a warm bassline, cracking kick and deep shining chords that will force you let go of all your troubles. On the flip side, the outside cut's title says it all…"Feel It;" and if you don't, you may need to seek some type of medical attention. As velvety smooth bassline bounces along, generous key splashes rain down causing your head to uncontrollably nod in agreement. As Alex rides off into the sunset he leaves us with the anthem "Do You Believe?" that will convert even the most skeptical ear. As the unflinching bassline powers on, the infectious swinging kicks, claps and high hats will transport your mind, body and soul all the way back to Zanzibar.

Picking up from an earlier professional relationship, but under another alias, the "Melodymann" goes back to the roots on this release alongside celebrated producer, Rennie Foster. A full exotic and sensual two track release with the beautiful "Goodjazz" delivered by Rennie Foster. This sounds like the place where summer meets spring, and jazz musicians meet drum machines. The acoustic, filtered sounds are sublimely melted into the drums with classic vocal work used to amplify the message even more. Label artist, Melodymann, develops his sound even further with "Trusoul" and widens the musical horizon for house music visionaries. The warm rhodes and funky bass signatures in the track are timeless, yet contemporary. While the sax riff makes you wander by yourself in Cuba smoking a Havana while drinking brown rum in the sun. A special feature on this release is a raw cut from a Dexter Gordon interview talking about music in the late 60's. More

With a self-proclaimed goal to showcase newcomers as well as established artists, Melodymathics hands out their 'second punch' with a killer track by Detroit veteran Gari Romalis. Gari is at the forefront of the Detroit techno scene, working close with Terrence Parker, Mike Banks, Cliff Thomas and labels such as Tresor, Transmat, Soma and many more. His productions clearly show that his 30 years experience Dj'ing made him realize what works on the dancefloor. 'The Web' on Melodymathics Ltd.002 is a sublime example of soulful keys combined with funky rhythm, resulting in the ultimate Dj tool. Our new talent 'Barce' was discovered in Spain and sets the tone with his 'SP' track for a possible lifetime relationship with Melodymathics. Barce's music speaks parts of his life and relfects a musical image of his soul. 'SP' brings deepness to another level in this release, with a manipulated organ chord - hypnotizing you throughout the whole chord - and a story being told on top with various snares, dope basslines and sample work. The traditional endless grooves, provided byThe Melodymann, are a nice addition for any Dj who wants that little extra..
