Sugarhouse 黑胶唱片和CD

Review: Sugarhouse Records' debut release is a collaboration between artists Maurice Jnr & Roy Rozell. The title track, "Magic Mountain", featuring Seb Miguel on keys, provides a blissful introduction to the label's own brand of House. The laid back swing of "Dane's Groove", relentless hustle of ""Popcorn Riddim" and the refreshing fizz of "Lemonade" complete the EP.

Sugarhouse Records operates from Sugarhouse Studios in East London, in association with Turner Prize Nominated design collective Assemble.

Review: London's Sugarhouse crew have already made some waves with their first two releases, and now the gang are back with round three of their soul-drenched deep house adventures. This time it's Maurice Jnr and Seb Miguel teaming up for three crucial jams, each with something different to say. "Deebo's Quest" is rich with aqueous pad tones and a slick set of drums that shuffle just the way you want it, while "Science Of Life" takes a distinctly Detroit-influenced approach that wouldn't sound out of place on Mahogani Music. That leaves it to "Lovin' U" to round the EP out with a warm, upbeat roller for those who like their house loaded with passion.

Review: Killer 12"! Free synths, driving rhythms, perfectly suited for those breezy summer nights spent dancing! Following the success of their debut record, Maurice Jnr and Roy Rozell are joined by fellow Sugarhouse Records founders, Seb Miguel and Jamie Paul, for this triple AAA 3-track as Paradise Forum.

Review: Having helped launch the Sugarhouse label with his Paradise Forum brethren, Jamie Paul gets a chance to show off his talents on his debut 12", adding to the label's already impressive catalogue with another swathe of classy house jams with a modern twist. "Double G" definitely sports the chops for the peak of the night, but it's also shot through with a welcome weirdness and a fuzzy warmth that should find favour with a wide range of DJs. "Even So" is a more laid back, bumping affair that matches the smooth finish of the A-side, but says something different altogether. Label mate Maurice Jnr meanwhile serves up a remix of Even So that nudges the delicate tones in a techier direction.

Review: The Sugarhouse label hits its fifth outing with one of the core members of the collective, Roy Rozell. For the first time Rozell is at the helm on his own, and he sounds completely at ease twisting out refined deep house meanderings for the soulful crowd. "Last Time Around" has a resplendent amount of live key flexing going on, and all the while a loose and limber rhythm section rolls out underneath. "Easy Easy" maximises on plastic trumpet tones and lets them freestyle over the top of a sunkissed, smoked out groove. "100 Percent" takes over the B side with pan pipe moods and synthetic string swells aplenty, making for a truly atmospheric deep house jam.
