Leo Belchetz (Chibuku Shake Shake)
Chart: June 2005
1. Harri & The Revenge – Freex Squeex/See Saw [Bosh]
Two years old before it was picked up for release, this sounds fresher than most.
2. Roland Clark pres. Urban Soul – Where Were You [King Street]
I was still in short trousers, Roland, but you’ll see my face in the club tonight!
3. Roísín Murphy – Sequins EP 2 [Echo]
‘Sow Into You’ still kicking it on the floor – this deserves chart success.
4. Rabbit In The Moon – Floori.D.A. (Q-BAM/Grumptronix Mix) [Hallucination Ltd]
How trance should sound: hypnotic, delicate & driving; not a cheesy riff in sight!
5. Ol’ Dirty Bastard – Cold Blooded (Big Hair Remix) [CDR]
Low-slung, high-bleeped & a bit odd – Big Hair and ODB make a fine threesome.
6. Wighnomy Bros. – Gottogoaway/Nativetonguetwisterhood [WB]
Superb remixes of Marvin Gaye and the Jungle Brothers on this anonymous 12”.
7. Phil Weeks – 4 Ways Of Tweaking The 909 Kick EP [Robsoul Ltd]
Ranging from the annoyingly bleepy (‘Okay’) to the infectiously acidic (‘Cruising’).
8. Brett Johnson – Un-Quantize Mindz EP [Magnetic]
Only Brett can bring ideas this odd from his head onto vinyl with such success.
9. Samim & Michal ft. Lil’ Dirrty Ghetto Bastard – Angel [Tuning Spork]
I’ve seen this reviewed as electro, but this is pure quirk-house à la Freaks.
10. Mister J. – Ride Equis [Missive]
The proggy bassline is offputting until the beautiful keys and muted horn kick in.
11. Robbie Hardkiss – Get Up Part One [Hallucination Ltd]
Doesn’t do much, but what it does it does very well: great deep, uplifting groove.
12. Tominaga – It’s Your Time (Alex Attias Freedom Soundz Remix) [Diaspora]
I’d written Attias off as a generic broken beat producer – how wrong I was!
13. John Dahlbäck – On The Stove EP [Brique Rouge]
Four cuts of powerful, and sometimes emotive, tech-house.
14. Trina Tru-Luv & Vicki B – True Love [Body Music]
This big vocal manages to combine funky and trippy sounds to great effect.
15. Hawkeye & Bal Cath – El Disco Acido 02 [Heading Home]
If you like your house music a bit left of centre, this label is well worth checking.
16. Kenny Dope – Frenzy [Dopewax]
I’m two years late on this, well, frenzied mish-mash of familiar & classic samples.
17. Various Artists – Guns & Butter EP [D’lectable]
A diverse quartet of Chi-town flavours; Stacy Kidd and Deep Code my picks.
18. Kerri Chandler – A Demo By 6:23 [UK Promotions]
For the purest of mesmerizing deep house, look no further than Kerri C.
19. Barfly – This Ain’t The Place [Coco Machete]
Disco & dub united & brought to the 21st Century with devastating results.
20. Park Street Productions – Sunday Joint [Striking Hand]
Lovely deep house, Alex Attias on hand again with a quirky analogue re-rub.
This month I have rediscovered:
Beltram – Energy Flash [R&S 1990]
Those filthy stabs, whispered vocals and dark bassline sending a shiver down my dancefloor’s spine once again.
