Misfit Melodies Germany 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: A result of Danny Howard's Radio 1 Lockdown link up, Misfit Melodies brings artists that have never worked together due to time, place or opportunity. When its next experiment resulted in the unlikely meeting of Running Back's Gerd Janson and PETS Recordings duo Catz 'N' Dogz, they knew they were in for a rare treat. Taking the very best of classic house motifs, mixed in with neon-lit nu-disco thrills, 'Modern Romance' is a tune we can expect to hear burning up living room dancefloors throughout the early part of 2021, with its infectious vocal and Mark Barrott (International Feel) helping out with some piano work. Handy instrumental and club mix by Janson included.

Review: Only those with long memories will remember David 'Move D' Moufang's short-lived Housegrooves alias. It was only used for a single 1993 release, Volume 1, a 12" that has long been in-demand amongst deep house diggers. Misfit Melodies have decided to give it the reissue treatment, partnering two of the EP's most lauded cuts with fresh remixes and edits. In the former category you'll find the low-slung analogue bass, rolling beats and spacey synth melodies of "I Gave My Love", and the more bumpin', New Jersey influenced Seebase collaboration "Deep", which here gets a slight edit from DJ Oyster. The most impressive rework comes from Shan and Gerd Janson, who turn "I Gave My Love" into a saucer-eyed chunk of piano-heavy, rave-era breakbeat-house bliss.
