Dark0 steps up on XL...! Big UK sound on this one More

Following on from his Make It Hot six-tracker, Rinse are pleased to announce the release of Burnin' Up, the debut full-length album by DJ Haus. One of the UK's most exciting DJs and boss of acclaimed labels Unknown To The Unknown and Hot Haus. Over the last few years Haus has honed his own unique, anarchic strain of bass-heavy house music, both solo and in duos Trumpet & Badman (with DJ Q) and Hot City. The result has been a salvo of raucous, dancefloor-focused records joining the dots between classic Chicago acid and ghetto house, hints of UK garage's compulsive bump 'n' swing, old-skool hardcore and the brusque splatter of the Bunker Records sound - a vivid hybrid sound that channels sheer energy in the club. Burnin' Up picks up and expands on that track record to date. Gathering twelve brand new club tracks, including collaborations with Innershades and Chambray, it showcases Haus as a dancefloor alchemist par excellence. Refracting the rawest styles of house-rooted music from the last two decades through the gleefully recombinant, mutagenic tendencies of UK dance music, its tracks are all united by Haus' characteristic diamond-hard percussion and distinctively deft ear for a vocal sample flip. Indeed, there's barely space for breath as the album burns through bleep 'n' bass opener 'Won't Let U Get Away', 'Houz Muzik' featuring Chambray, firey 303 lines 'Acid Stringz', saucer-eyed rave 'EEE Werkin and the dizzying percolations of ghetto house (the title track, 'Make Me Feel') Innershades collaboration 'Track 10' evolves from a stripped-back, staccato drum machine workout into a hypnotic Motor City groove, while album centrepiece 'No More Loving', whose disorienting whirl of 8-bit bleeps tears upwards through a brusquely funky bassline. Burnin' Up is a sweat-soaked end to end, body-jacking debut album.

Hot on the heels of releases from Tom Shorterz, Bodhi and DJ Haus, Rinse continue to roll them out and present their latest from a label favourite - Rupert Taylor a.k.a xxxy. With a back catalogue that's touched Ten Thousand Yen, Pollen, Well Rounded and Orca, xxxy is an artist who has astutely touched on many bases and evinced a serious knack for turning his hand to the variety of styles that build the broad genre of Bass music. This: his latest 'Regrets' EP stands to illustrate this knack perfectly and is a vibrant blend of analogue drums, swooning synths and thick, warm bass tones. The title track kicks things off with sharp hats galloping atop brooding chord changes before filters open up and build a thick and tense tone. Tense, jarring stabs push progress forwards before 12049 drives a rubbery and reverberated kick under softly warped synth tones and stripped but purposeful percussion. Over Peover then sits a panned synth string circling atop tough, crunching percussion and a propulsive synth riff. A rich, heart-rending bass tone is driven in beneath ahead of a rapturous, elongated breakdown that wraps up another coup for Rinse and a solid addition to the catalogue.

The next release on Rinse is the second in a series of three EPs of gorgeous, punch-drunk house music from label regular Rupert Taylor, aka Xxxy. The follow-up to last year's acclaimed 18 Hours, it's a further spiral inwards for the tripped-out, wistful style he's increasingly come to make distinctly his own, with clouds of arpeggiated synth notes and vapourised voice rolling atop pillow-soft, droning bass. melody and disembodied vocals. Yet listen closer - or at peak time - and it's deceptively tough, building to a mesmerising blur of colour amid body-shuddering kickdrums. In contrast, 'Lately' is one of the brightest and most upfront Xxxy tracks to date, with its major key melody, synthetic chord stabs and spiralling momentum channeling both the spirit of electro pop and the futurist impulses of early Detroit techno - a heady cocktail. EP closer 'Close The Door Behind You' occupies a perfect middle point between the two; an eerie, noise-scratched slow-build leads to a sudden explosion of energy, with a barrage of bass swoops and hi-hats abruptly sweeping the dancefloor upward as it goes.

The next release on Rinse is the 18 Hours EP, the latest missive of stargazing, spaced-out house from label regular Rupert Taylor, aka XXXY. Over the last few years Taylor's music has formed a launch pad for his explorations of the styles that fascinate him, from the heartbeat swing of UK garage to lysergic experimentation and the heady pulse of peak-time house. The 18 Hours EP follows up this year's deliriously catchy Rinse single 'Never Enough' and the arrow-sharp 'Goldfish' on Ten Thousand Yen. Each of its three tracks captures the XXXY sound from a distinctly different angle, but they're united by his music's long-running personality traits: a devilish ear for space and melody, which bubbles through even its starkest moments. '18 Hours' itself is a gorgeous, limpid whirlpool of a club track. Rolling out over nearly six minutes, it emerges from shimmery beginnings into a wave-like rush of drums and synthlines that seethes forward and repeatedly crests in eddies of harmonic activity. The EP's other two tracks are among XXXY's hardest-hitting floor burners to date: 'Tool (Satire Mix)' is a tough, bristling mass of acidic bleeps and steely percussion custom honed for maximum impact in the early hours. 'Clap Pitch' is harder still: perhaps the freakiest XXXY track to date, it razes the dancefloor in salvos of static, distortion and wild electronic shrieks.

Mr. Loser, the second release on Rinse from techno-house explorer HRDVSION, further hones the sound hefs become increasingly renowned for: a blisteringly taut, deceptively catchy strain of cybernetic house. The influence of both electro and classic minimal techno bubbles through the EPfs four tracks, with their robotic melodies and mechanistic funk gradually evolving over long run-times, drawing the dancefloor deep into the groove. Lead track eMr. Loserf sets the EP off in dynamic form, its vocal chants and hi-hat airlock hiss corralled into a peak-time stomp of huge proportions . a drop into freaky near-silence halfway through only serves to emphasise the impact when the track launches back into full action. eIt Hurtsf is pure sci-fi techno-romanticism, opening with two minutes of neonstriplit ambience before the beat emerges, drawing the track along in a melancholy haze. eOrganized Crimef suits its name, its mood of all-pervasive intrigue emerging from a complex mesh of fluorescent melodies, promising total club hypnosis. eSwan Divef brings the EP to a close with crystalline grace, melodies that ripple and shimmer around clipped beats. Completing a 12 thatfs perhaps Hrdvsionfs most fully-rounded vision to date, and certainly his most compelling.
