a week in the house piles, niiiiiiiice!


sweet piles, germoloids not required

there isn’t a dud on the entire lp, an lp which still hits track after track

my own copy is beyond battered, just good to see the tunes turn up here and Neil rereleasing old wonders

thought you might pipe up there! I’ve got the lp + ode rammel 12” for the louder sound. peak brithouse goodness. (only one other bit on diy though unforch). ‘clear my mind’ & ‘till the feelings gone’ my other mega faves. latter seemingly borrowing and blending ukg and tribal hse sounds to great effect.

as I’m the cheatin’ kind, yesterday’s biggie:



it’s those steady-bumpin, almost subliminally-affecting grooves that are doing it for me in this my house week. that aesthetic confidence to know when to leave things out is v tasty in dance music innit.

manchester label, big theo p choon by all accounts.

seen it in a few garage-weighted record collections, techno too, traversing tastes

Rainy City were a feature among local systems, you could listen to their catalogue mixed in sets complete with Nail highlights too

Nail is one local producer who hit a streak of inspired glory long enough to cross into Charles Webster esque territory, very different and they’re intriguing counterpoints if a collective mixing session strikes

Miss the creative ecosystem house fostered, the rate of collaborative works and cross pollination galore

he ended up playing bass for sleaford mods no? think he’s on ‘divide and exit’.

not that bonkers about Webster so far tbh (I mean re: what I’ve chanced on), apart from this engrossing deep house trip:



cloudy, shadowy, humid like I like it!

poss edge of too tasteful tho.

If you have the time it’s worth exploring CW’s works and aliases - Love From SF, Furry Phreaks, Presence, DJ Profile - as his quality control was so high. Never been easier, he’s up there with DKMA/Callisto for more ethereal elements, has the depth and punch of Mood II Swing and grace of 95 North

Of course, there are duds, yet he was buy on sight and his influence is all over releases from this region if you include Atjazz, Rhythm Plate, up to Sheffield and beyond

Nail tangented into Bent for a decade, around the time Ideal distribution went bust and hammered loads of smaller ltd run labels and more

You can blend Callisto with older ingredients like TT Lover, complete trance out numbers done with grace



reminiscent of Mondee Oliver‘s tranced out Make Me Want You, have mixed into a forgotten mix of Romeanthony’s Fall From Grace

yeah i know all that bizniz obvs, crosses into early tech house, been coming across it in the bins for years. toko v familiar logo indeed but not picked anything up so far.

nice swag bit from my weekend jaunt (to keep things more or less thread relevant)

all for the groove, just for the track, and the prod is rock solid
£2 pickup from last year
slight ‘the best track is the shortest track’ syndrome tho (any true househead knows what that means)

deliciously weighted prod: both space and weight; lovely rounded, semi-submerged bass tones; exotica theme cute and not overdone. could have been couple mins longer tho. best thing on that comp imo.
