Philpot Germany 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Philpot's Traxworx series got off to a blinding start earlier this year with the dust down from Roman Rauch and label regular Ike and it looks to be quite the promising endeavour if the line-ups remain as strong as this second duel featuring Arttu and Hakim Murphy. Neither artist really needs a formal introduction here and both are well suited for the floor focused nature of this series. Arttu is first up with "Can't Get Down" a collaboration with Kaye that bounces along with loose and deadly intent - if you liked the Geeeman stuff on Clone you will love this pappy, especially when that sax comes in! On the flip Innerspace Halflifer Hakim Murphy goes for the abstract approach on "ES1" which features some superb drum edits.

Review: After debuting on vinyl in fine style with last year's Tjuma drop Can't Get Enough, Viennese producer Roman Rauch takes a step up the deep house ladder with this tangerine tinged clear twelve inch for the Philpot label. Included are remixes of tracks from the aforementioned debut along with a new production from Rauch himself - and Philpot bossman Soulphiction calls shotgun with a remix of "Can't Get Enough" that rolls across the A Side with the sort of fizzy aplomb you'd expect. Of more interest is the B Side which sees the welcome return of Juno favourite Eerdbeerschnitzel! The German remixes "Bio Rhythm", transforming it into a twisted, low centric house groove filled with a multiplicity of deft textures and atmospherics. A wholly unique sound befitting of the productions Mr Keiling graced us with last year. Rauch rounds off proceedings with the spectral bump of "Dirty Haze" which takes on a hue reminiscent of recent Lone output as it progresses.
