———– minimal/tech-house ————
Johnny D – Orbitalife (Oslo)
Sophistication meets simplicity. Great groove, soft a-la-house sound, a bit of vocal. C U on the Orbit. And please, let me play till the end!
Dusty Kid – Luna (Bpitch Control)
Melody maker Dusty Kid rocks here on a smooth vibe. Easy!
Robert Babicz – Dark Flower (Joris Voorn rmx) (Audiomatique)
Gonna be a big hit this summer, will suffer from being over-played… Who cares, its outstanding beauty touches anybody. Can’t get out of your head? Mine too.
Dub Taylor – Frogface (Alpaca)
Little track #3 on this first Alpaca release, numbered copy, simple airy melody, nice easy groove.
Joris Voorn – Blank (Green)
Joris Voorn, my Dutch ‘warm/voorm’ hero this month, with best track from his 2006 album, still sounds fresh, one more melodic monster.
Cabal – Jevlove (Subtronic Records)
Yankee Zulu – Good For You (Worthy’s Bleeper Rise rmx) (Katabatic Records)
Johnny D – Tramodysee (Oslo)
Hypnotizing.
