“To chill or groove? why not both? With Sunbeams from Jason Esun at Slighty Sizzled White and his minimal house grooves, through his tight mix and soft sound layering, felt the vibes quick, yes while it moved me on, in same time i enjoyed the afternoon mountain view, laid back in my sofa with my cold beer, having that wonderful atmosphere and sense of relax.”

“Get your "Dopamine Warmness" from Padre Tóxico, a hypnotic ambient downtempo track released on Pickle Padre Records. His minimal aesthetics and soft sound design approach generates a deep listening experience which force you to repeat once it ends, as never releazied when you had a full listening allready. Very atmospheric!”

“A minimal deep house from Chi Thanh which his soft groove, the harmonic guitar laying and the deep amazing vocals of Ben McCrary proves that the secret is not in the quantity of the ingredients in a recipe, but in the quality and right use. Wonderful deep house to laib back and day dream.

“Verdad by Yonatan Rukhman in Irma Dancefloor label, is a housey chord bliss and with a double side groove where you can either dance with or laid back and enjoy your drink on sunset.”
-Nagamag.com
A Funk, house & retro vibes blend together in Yonatan's new EP, creating a hot mess of beats, synths & samples. Israeli, naturalized Italian & based in Tel Aviv, Yonatan Rukhman fuses the funk with his love for the club. Following his debut EP in Hebrew last winter, Yonatan decides to do one for the dancefloor and unleashes his club verve with a blend of jackin' beats and vintage samples served with a cool gentle flavour. Verdad is the deep dance floor cut in this release, giving a psychedelic edge to a grinding south american percussive groove.
Few words about: Yonatan Rukhman
When Yonatan Rukhman first set foot in a recording studio he knew immediately that all those colored knobs and lights were the toys he wanted to spend his time with.
His family in a traditional Jewish fashion was scattered all around the world – Israel, Germany, England, Ukraine, USA and Yonatan reveled the triangle between Tel Aviv, Munich and Bergamo (Northern Italy).
After absorbing music from his musician father – piano and harpsichord – he started his career at the legendary Sigma Studio of Tel Aviv, then went on to Studiottanta in Asti (Paolo Conte’s first studio) and later, Solid Groove of Bergamo where he worked with Ian Paice (Deep Purple), Clive Bunker (Jethro Tull), Morris Albert and other great artists. He then produced and co-written for a new Italian folk/rock band called Folkstone and helped them to become one of the leading bands in its genre.
But the true liberation from the matrix came when he started producing electronic music. That was real cool! First as part of the duo Yud Kei (Electro House), then as part of the duo Alternate Perceptions (Techno – support from LaurentGarnier, Ritchie Hawtin, Marco Carola and others).
Ultimately, back in Tel Aviv in his new studio “Double Dot”, he decided to fuse his love for science fiction with his passion for Electronic Music with a new alias, CTRL SHIFT DEFEAT, while continuing to release funky flavoured eclectic house tracks and remixes under his own name.

Lukas Poellauer comes back on fortunea with an ambitious 5 track ep. Mixing up house music with the use of traditional instruments and vocals by Spitting Ibex singer Aunty on some of the tracks.
The Departure EP starts off with 'Going Down' - an impressive introduction with reminiscences to early garage house records. 'Falling Back' follows up on A2: a tight bass is companied with piano-cues, glittery strings and a mysterious breakdown, that gives the listener a sort of a cosmic film-noire vibe.
The melancholy continues with the next piece. "Departure", the title-track of this record is placed on the B-side. A trumpet (performed by local musician Alex Valdés), a vibraphone, a smooth bass and beautiful chilled chords are the main elements, paired with field-recordings from the streets of Vienna. Lukas also recorded some jazzy cymbals from his acoustic drum-kit. This laid back, jazzy deep house tune certainly has the blues in it.
While Aunty was also present on the first track for a couple of lines, her voice is placed now more on the foreground with their party song ‚It’s All Good’ on B2.
The record closes with a danceable rework of ‚Departure’. Tieffrequent label head Siggatunez is responsible for this version.
This release will lighten up your day.
Vinyl is limited to 100% copies. There will be no repress!

Facing forwards and backwards at the same time is a tricky production skill in House music. Those that know the roots of the genre well but also keep a close ear to the ground on modern movements and trends are able to work a magic formula in the studio that results in a product that could be from 1990 or 2020. Niko Marks has one of those brains that knows this and executes it with precision in his work and ‘No Fairy’ – a four track EP is a classic example of how to stay loyal to House music whilst keeping things fresh. Keeping the Detroit flag flying high and proud, Niko continues to pump out a sound that’s timeless and fully loaded with that magic vibe that this genre was built on.
Lead track ‘No Fairy’ is an upbeat and danceable number that locks down a classic House groove over a beautiful piano chord progression that slips and slides in and out of focus with some crafty phasing FX. The throwback percussive elements are right on time and unmistakably sourced from the iconic Roland drum kits that helped to inspire the genre. The upbeat string sections and switch in key turn ‘No Fairy’ into a wonky dreamlike dancefloor weapon. This is proper House music done with style and skill.
‘Carry Me’ is on the flip-side, but could easily have been a lead track by itself. Trina grabs the mic and takes to the skies with a glorious vocal that takes you away whilst Niko Marks provides a very well put together instrumental that’s right in tune with his classy style of old-meets-new House music. Niko’s ongoing production line shows us another reason why he’s a man to be keeping a close eye and ear on.
If you’re looking for something hypnotic, you’re covered by the Cheerios Mix of ‘No Fairy Tale Love’ which emits a more experimental and psychedelic atmosphere through a stack of synths that fly up and down the frequency spectrum with a neat rhythmic section. Should you wish to get lost in the music and be taken to another place through sonic goodness – this is the mix for you.
Wrapping up the EP we’re back in the capable hands of Niko Marks as he lays down a piano driven remix of ‘No Fairy Tale Love’ that fuses together vocal samples from the original over a series of strings and synths that take the mid-range through a journey as the squelchy bassline provides the foundations in the sub frequencies.
U2XProductions know how to keep us well fed with quality electronic music that touches the mind and soul. This latest effort from Niko Marks should and will take a proud place on the discography of this label which has provided us with so many memorable moments.
