Mike Huckaby / Rick Wilhite / Norm Talley / Rick Wade - The Defenders Of The Deep House World
--- Quote ---Third Ear throw down a splendid set of deepst house trax from The Defenders Of The Deep House World aka Detroit's Mike Huckaby, Rick Wilhite, Rick Wade and Norm Talley. Our man with the waves Mike Huckaby is largely in control here, providing one original and two remixes. His scene setting 'The Deep House World' keeps it true with shimmering chords and raw but elegant rhythm built from thick bass and dancing hi-hats. His reconstruction of Wilhite's 'Playcism' cuts a more rugged figure with grumbling bass and hypnotic conga rolls setting a gritty groove and his 2010 remix of Talley's 'Change' shakes up tight tribal rolls with soul warming keys. Rick Wade's own 'Bleach' strut up with a heavily percussive mover flecked with tense disco strings and swooning bassline for luxurious effect.

Madlib - Medicine Show No.5: The History of the Loop Digga
--- Quote ---Episode 5 of Madlib's Medicine Show series is a essentially a "best of" his superrare beat tapes made during his formative years 1990-2000. 'Lib made a stack of tapes in the period between producing the Alkaholiks debut and really getting it together on the seminal Quasimoto album, showcasing whatever archetypal sample jams he was working on at the time. These tapes would be circulated among friends and prospective MCs, with some making their way onto releases by Wildchild, Percee P and others. One section is given over to productions by CDP aka Crate Diggas Palace, the studio/rap crew attached to his Oxnard, CA beat lab and featuring very early appearances from Madlib and his alter ego, Lord Qasimoto. The beats are every bit as abstract and blunted as you'd expect, and then some! It's like being given access to the foistiest corners of 'Libs brain/studio, unearthing all manner of beat nuggets to make your head spin 360 on it's axis if ypu've got a soft spot for this era of the beat. Vinyl and CD copies come with loads of extras but if you're only after the juice then then is well recommended!

Slowhouse - One
--- Quote ---These guys have been wrecking our heads recently with some primed deep house goodness so we've done the right thing and got hold of some copies of the first release on the label. Again the label sticker and record are authentically anonymous, featuring the same silhouette and text and again it's four variations of the same midnight house styles but it's the quality and execution of these untitled cuts that makes them so essential. Moving from succulent dub house (with the emphasis on the 'house' bit') to buttered Detroit beatdown and eternal square-bassed jackers this anonymous producer draws comparisons to everyone from Theo Parrish to Claro Intellecto to Newworldaquarium to Rick Wade and a ruck of other lauded producers and quite rightly so. The styles contained within this 12" and on a larger scale the whole Slowhouse series are pure deep house gold and any self respecting fans of the genre will be kicking themselves if they miss out on any of the releases, do not sleep!!!

Slowhouse - Two
--- Quote ---A second mysterious 12" from the Slowhouse Recordings crew, featuring three rock solid deep house cuts, ranging from the filtered, dub-influenced reductionism of the A-side to the funk-infused Rhodes stabs of the final piece. There's no real information to be gathered on the derivation of this rather anonymous looking piece of vinyl, but the calibre of the production is a good deal less inconspicuous than its presentation.

Slowhouse - Three
--- Quote ---In the space of only three records Slowhouse recordings have carved out a tight niche for themselves in the oft overburdened deeper house scene with an authentic and killer selection of primest deep dancefloor styles. This latest addition for the imprint contributes another four tracks of irresistably squashed deep hizoose variations, cut loud and very proud to sound f***ing phat on a big system, minimal ingredients with maximum flavour. The reference points for this run from Boo Williams or Move D's Chicagoan classicism, to the fresher manipulations of Portable's Bodycode alias or Cassy's lush and contemplative house soul, and also slotting in nicely with the slew of boutique imprints from Styrax leaves, to MoM and hardwax's workshop, basically infallible high class house that hits the spot dead on. Awesome.

Fatima - Follow You EP
--- Code: ---http://www.M/F.com/?yu72l128pbo4ca6
--- End code ---
--- Quote from: release notes ---Utterly exquisite offerings from Eglo’s blessed soul vocalist, Fatima Bramme Sey, atop the creamiest beats from equally talented producer/label boss, Floating Points. If you’ve dipped into the warm waters of modern Soul in the last few years it’s highly likely you’re familiar with Fatima’s output already, from her appearances on DVA’s ‘Just Vybe (Soule:Power Mix)’ to Shafiq Husayn’s ‘Lil Girl’ or a slew of Eglo releases. Make no mistake, though; this is the one you need! The A-side is a luxurious showcase in three parts: from the bass-suspended red-carpet introduction of ‘Cinnamon’, through the soul-controlling R&B of ‘Mind’ and the compellingly classic-sounding ‘Innervision’. However, we reckon it’s likely the flipside will be hailed as the masterpiece of this record, and both her and Floating Points’ calling card for time to come. On ‘Red Light’ her immaculately rendered tones rise from filigree Rhodes keys to be joined by tenderly gripping shuffle beats Theo P would be proud of, before unfurling into one of the most luxurious Deep House tracks you’re likely to hear this year, if not the next five. The production throughout will potentially leave you breathless. Take it on trust or check the samples, either way you’ll have to dislodge that heart from your mouth. Highly recommended!
