Fire Island was a project from UK house vets Terry Farley and Pete Heller, which went out with a bang in 1998 by collaborating with the mighty Loletta Holloway on the absolutely massive 'Shout To The Top'. Now Hifi Sean is getting to grips with the track and giving it a very tasteful re-rub which brings a little bit of Salsoul-speckled joy and passion to the original mix while keeping Holloway's vocal right where it should be out front and soaring. Sean's 'House Mix' is a dubbier, heavyweight affair that should go down well with the tech house crowd, but there's also a super sweet 'reprise' of the main mix which would be the perfect 'moment' in the midst of a set.

Every so often, a compilation comes along and delivers a snapshot of a city's underground music scene at a given moment in time. That's what compilers Rick Wilhite and Delano Smith have achieved with Parabellum Detroit, an expansive and predictably high-quality collection of cuts from some of the Motor City's finest producers. They naturally provide a couple of collaborative cuts of their own - the spacey, late-night techno hypnotism of '11 Minutes of Funk' and the intergalactic deep house drift of 'Neo Solaris', while there are also top-notch contributions from Javontte (the warm, soul-flecked deep house of 'Late Night Love'), Marcellus Pittman (beatdown chugger 'Everybody Party'), Gerald Mitchell AKA Soul Saver (the incredible 'Kaori'), the Moodymann Kenny Dixon Jr ( 'I'm Goin' Back') and Omar-S (a tidy Godson remix of 'VAT 69').

European Carryall hits release number five with more superbly stylish techno. This time out they get a call from boss man Mr Telephones, who markedly ups the pace compared to his usual antics across a couple of fierce new weapons. 'Blue-Tek' (Raw Mix) opens up and despite the name is a mega slick and smooth, high speed fusion of Detroit and Balearic styles into something utterly breezy and compelling. The Dream Reprise is a little more airy and then 'FV555' (Arkanoid Dusk mix) gets more deep and heady on the flip. A Suenotechno reprise then heads off into the cosmos for late night dreaming.

Anunaku said of this new EP on AD93 that it draws inspiration from Roman and Gregorian chants, Italian poetry and trance. And it's not hard to hear that in the music, which is soft and dreamy, loopy and hypnotic. On 'Spirale,' the rolling drums are buried deep and provide the propulsion as the sounds of a celestial choir drift up top amongst the cloudy pads. 'Ninefa' is another perfect dream state, with heavenly pads and voices swirling way up high over sleek, dub and delicate techno rhythms. 'Luminosa' completes the triptych with a final take on this heady style.

RAW France doesn't muck about with this tasty new various artists transparent green 12". Welt In Scherben one up with the peak time, tripped out delights of 'Faust Im Nacken,' which is an old school teeth grinder. Danilo Incorvaia keeps up the white knuckle ride with 'Seventeen,' with its coarse pads and cantering drums, then Clouds bring rough industrial textures and tortured synths to 'AKW Strange.' Endlec's 'No Mercy' rounds out a high octane EP with a white knuckle ride through strobe lit and rave techno.

Cardinal & Nun has reaped some great material on LIES before now but here makes a big return with a debut album. The eight tunes are all super raw and stripped back, with fuzzed out textures, punked out attitudes and fucked up energy. Despite all that angst there is lots to love here from the thrashing riffs to the absorbing basslines. The always shadowy tunes are packed with details be that an obscured vocal or punchy drum fill, and there is even time for some more sombre cuts like the still heavy but more heady 'What's Going On Tonight?'

Milan-based artist Atoloi steps up to take care of the small but beautifully formed Sure Thing label's third release, Inflorescenze. He opts fora meditative work "that reflects upon the tension that arises from polarity: nature and the city-bound sphere of clubbing, weight and levity, the internal world of the artist and his external environment." It results in a record that is in constant flux, swelling and recessing, rising and falling, pulling you in and pushing you away from the sinewy synth lines and distant sounds of thunder or icy drums and dubs undercurrents.

It has been more than two years since the first real on the Dancing in Space label. That one sold out in quick fashion and despite the long wait, this one will too such is the effectiveness of the music. It offers up another pair of edits primed for good times. 'Dancing In My Sleep' is big disco with even bigger vocals and plenty of sci-fi synths and withering retro-future chords. 'You & I' on the flip is then a deeper cut but one that is just as driven and filled with positivity.
