FRR vinyl update 02/02/08

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

Some wicked new progressive and tech in this week kicking off with a superb offering from Deadmau5 friend and studio partner - Glenn Morrison - No Sudden Moves / Circles now on Italian release on Cinnamon Flava. Full review can be found here

Out of the Baroque stable comes R-Tem - Dal which builds impressively, layering sounds and riffs all the way up to a mammoth breakdown, lying slightly on the trancier side of progressive this is well worth a listen. B side contais a deeper Sam Ball Remix.

From Barqoue sub label Rococo comes Dirty Dot - Heart Of Pain wth ace female vocal snippets and a wicked electro bassline.

On the tech side Buzzin’ Fly 4 Remixes Part 2 contains three ace deep tech cuts from BarBQ and Kimouts including remix from Solomun. Josh Gabriel - Summit remixes are in featuring remixes from Josh Gabriel himself and Dusty Kid Rouge on Organized Nature.

A few new electro titles in this week. The Tuffhouse Label remixes the classic Dark Monks - Insane on a new single sided release. It certainly is tough and what a breakdown!

Pretty fine Venus Kaly - The Secret (Electro Remixes) out of France on Chic Flowerz has a wicked bass and vocals and a cool tough house mix from Da Chic on the flip.

New label for FRR is Kitsune and now in is the super twisted 2xLP Kitsune Maison Compilation 5 feturing tracks from Fischerspooner, Digitalism and Alan Braxe. Nice gatefold vinyl with cool artwork too. This compilaiton is also available CD too.

On a house tip is the third in the Gilles Peterson - In The House Exclusives series. 4 ace house and deep house tracks from Kings Of Tomorrow, Zed Bias, Season & Sygaire and Tribe. Another quality EP from Defected.

All tunes available at www.firstrhythm.co.uk

Glenn Morrison - No Sudden Moves / Circles

Saturday, February 2nd, 2008

Glenn Morrison - No Sudden Moves / Circles

Glenn Morrison’s tracks have been supported by the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Sasha, Digweed and Tiesto. The track No Sudden Moves hit the number one spot of the World Dance Charts a few weeks ago and for good reason. Now on Italian label Cinnamon Flava we get another chance to hear these two tracks that have that ‘Deadmau5‘ sound (they share the same studio!). Previous tracks from Glenn have also been on Mau5trap Records and Mr Deadmau5 himself Joel Zimmerman lends his engineering skills to this release.

No Sudden Moves builds nicely and is a nice understated tech/prog cut. Circles has the edge though in my opinion, introducing riffs that tease along the way to the break where a simple floating melody is introduced which explodes into a rich stereo swirling riff that you never want to end and just as you begin to get lost the beat slams back in. Total class.

Marco Demark feat Casey Barnes ‘Tiny Dancer’

Friday, February 1st, 2008

3 Beat Blue turn in another monster from Italian DJ Marco Demark sampling one of Elton John’s big hits re-sung by Casey Barnes following on from recent strong releases by Robbie Rivera and Cahill. The Camel Rider mix on disc one plays on the quality vocal taken and sees them back in action again after a couple of great releases on Subliminal in 2003-4. Moto Blanco also on disc one takes down a slightly smoother route but still very housey style.

As expected from the artist of the moment Deadmau5 turns in both a quality vocal and dub for disc two. The dub has a nice progressive feel that plays on the main riff to great effect, 10 out of 10, its one of those tunes that is going to be around for ages. Plays by Pete Tong, Eric Morillo, Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren.
