WILLIE GRAFF 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Here's a record that screams The White Isle at you! Ibizan imprint Isgud call on two producers synonymous with the island in the shape of Willie Graff and Tucillo for their latest release. The duo has plenty of form - collaborating on releases for the likes of Drumpoet Community, Freerange and Circus - and "To The Music" makes you pine for the terrace as soon as that tribal programming locks in. The focus is on the percussion here, with only the bassline and a titular vocal refrain washing around the mix for company. On the flip Jus Ed's mate DJ QU comes through with a radical rework that strips the track of its tribal leanings for a bugged out techno funk feel that truly impresses. In such company the more straight up jacking flex from Isgud boss Tatu seems somewhat lacking.

Review: If you're into all things soulful and Balearic, nothing will please you more than these beautiful blissful beats from Willie Graff & Tuccillio. Give You Up is timeless house music through and through - a guitar and drums intro slowly gets over shadowed by the filtered chorus which takes it's time to fully to reveal the breezy "I just can't give you up" line. Chaz Danier provides two mixes to choose from (check out Chaz's "A Little More" mix to see how far he's taken the original).

Review: Afroterraneo Music founder Kiko Navarro steps up for his label next release, but not before enlisting the help of friends and fellow Balearic and house dons DJ Pippi and Willie Graff. Their classy Tempistica Mistica EP offers up a pair of richly percussive and Afro-Latin tinged house cuts that are primed and ready for deployment on the most cultured dance floors. 'N'Fumbei' is a warming shuffler that echoes the work of Fred P, 'Esanah' is more heavy and percussive with its weighty kicks making a lasting mark. 'N'Fumbeats' closes down with a fat, bouncy rhythm brought to life with loose and organic perc.
