LAZARE HOCHE 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: That Lazare Hoche super sharp shooter is back with two choice remixes of his bomb "Time Guard" which dropped to much acclaim last year. First up on the buttons is Jesse Perez, who gets busy with some dusty funk licks strapped to a crisply programmed break before blowing the roof off with a soaring melodic injection guaranteed to incite blissed-out reverie all over the floor. East End Dubs takes a very different approach, jacking up the machine rhythms and weaving reams of bugging synth lines in and out of the groove for a dynamic electro-stepper that should go down a treat with future-minded party people.

Review: To date we've not been treated to a solo outing from Lazare Hoche - he's most commonly spotted alongside fellow deep house operative Malin Genie, but now he's going it alone with two cuts of assured groovers suited to the hazier hours of a 4/4 throwdown. "Time Guard" is a swooning beauty of a track buoyed by gorgeous synth strings and a nagging groove. "Maths" is a more forthright, club-focused affair that places all the emphasis on sharp, funked up drum machine beats, but there's still a chill in the air that keeps the track firmly rooted in the deep end.

Review: Originally released in 2012 on a single 12", Lazare Hoche and Malin Genie's I Don't Sync So Part 1 finds itself the subject of a very deserving reissue, this time spreading the five tracks across two slabs of vinyl instead of the original one disc. If you missed out first time around there's no excuse not to partake, especially with the crucial vocal house of "Pressure Baby", '80s-influenced hip house rhythms of "Oh! Snap", New Jersey garage style "My Love For You" and deep, dark and driving organ house of "Naive" all sounding as fresh and relevant as they did two years ago.

Review: REPRESS ALERT: Big time modern deep house dons Lazare Hoche and S.A.M. team up for this new label Perfect Pushup, which from the outset seems to be dealing in some pretty big time edit business. On the A side, they've taken on evergreen Arthur Russell delight "In The Light Of The Miracle" - hallowed ground no doubt, but the team approach with care and tease some additional minutes and a little more oomph out of this beauty of a track. It's harder to ID "The GB Track" on the flip, but it matters not one bit as the endless flow of woozy, tastefully cut up funk spills out over 12 minutes.
