Chris Carrier’s brings us the latest installment from his ever-trusty Adult Only label, with a firecracker from Julian Alexander, a rudeboy from Holland, Utrecht to be precise. Julian’s close ties with Slapfunk Records, the label that released Carrier’s most recent artist album, make him the perfect candidate to captain this new release, which is full of murky grooves and simmering energy. Across three tracks Julian brings encapsulates that Adult Only flavour, kicking off with ‘Butress Roots’ a bass-heavy roller with an eerie overtone and a minimal make-up – watch out for the extended breakdown, it will send shivers down your spine. Up after that we have ‘XY’ a more up-tempo, bouncing, dance floor destroyer. Major vibes on this one. On the flip ‘Point Of View’ brings the energy down again, with a steady flow, and a slow-building pads together with an indecipherable female vocal clip that adds to the captivating atmosphere. Carrier steps in to remix ‘Point Of View, closing out the EP with a punchy demonstration of his production prowess. Raw. More

Coming from the darkest depths of the South American jungle but raised in the city of Utrecht in Holland, Julian Alexander is a name that might not have fallen on many ears as yet but we guarantee you'll be hearing a lot of this 18 yr old powerhouse in the future. With a background in jazz and a trained multi instrumentalist, exploring Hip Hop and underground House and UK Garage, Julian soon started to craft a unique style and put his own slap and funk into the mix. Focusing on a deep powerful sound with plenty of pound he quickly caught our attention as his meaty, stripped down minimalism explores an even darker chamber of the 'dungeon' . Julian's Hustlin' EP delivers the kind of tracks that keep the floor moving, essential tools that can be the perfect transition or the spark that lights the fuse on on the dance floor. Can you believe he made the track UNDRG at the ripe old age of 16 years old. It really blows our minds to think he made it 2 years ago and it still sounds fresh and futuristic. As with all our releases these jams are tried and tested and proved to be very useful for building the tension and getting those fist pumping. Their solid, track, bass heavy vibe will have no problem bothering even the biggest bass bins. More

With Lomdit EP we have arrived at Levi Verspeeks 3rd solo record. Three times a charm and so it will be when it crashes onto the dancefloor with tech triumph Tamtam named after an unknown friend. 2nd track Octo's slick, oozing groove sees right through you and pillages the floor with metal percussion. No later than 6 and a half minutes after you will be met by God's choir singing it's chorus: We Smell Sausage. Watch out that you don't get dipped by that foxy break halfway through! Knock knock. Who's there? Hmmm. Hmmm who? Hmmm, the last track on Lomdit, and IT KNOCKS!

Dutch label SlapFunk - a loose collective of DJs and producers dedicated to the rougher end of deep house - has decided to push the boat out for this fourth installment in the popular Raw Joints series. This time, they've expanded from one 12" to two, packing in no less than eight tracks, all of which bristle with heavy drum machine rhythms, fuzzy textures, and basslines that make you want to strut your stuff. Interestingly, there's a strong garage influence on some of the stand-out tracks - see the warped basslines, skipping drums and industrial electronics of U Know The Drill's "Back On It", and the two-step shuffle of Stooge Wilson and Otmar Haze's "Not Your Average Phonecall" - while Locklead does a convincing impersonation of Omar-S on the excellent "Keep Going".

Having established DeepSystems as a radio show some years back, Matt Pond (one third of the BitterSuite collective) has decided to launch a record label under the same name. Given his contacts, it's a smart move. Two close pals - BitterSuite member Jon Gray and Dan '1Dan' Rodgers - join forces as Tales Ov Rossi, laying down a slowly shifting chunk of deep, heads-down tech-house that stretches across one side of the 12". On the flip, Gray goes solo under the BitterSuite banner, delivering the two-part "Familiar Currents". Both versions sound heavily inspired by the dense percussion, expansive musicality and rich soundscapes of Ron Trent. It's a comparison that Gray will no doubt enjoy.

Following his Lotus S7ven album with Hector Moralez, Chris Carrier delivers his first full length since 2010's Gosse De Paris double-pack. A staple for the French Robsoul label, Carrier now finds himself in Holland writing LPs for SlapFunk Records, a label launched in 2012 that's so far released music from a host of emerging house heads. Carrier, now SlapFunk's marquee artist, delivers a full listen of smooth and sweet deep house with a slight touch of abstract Perlon-isms and creative, almost industrial, sound designs - and a release that'll put SlapFunk on the map at that.
