Benediction
Benediction (dub)
Forward Motion (MK Reverse remix)
Review: Ah, Hot Creations, home to the hippest house music that cites disco and 25 year-old club anthems as its inspirations. Here, label head honchos Jamie Jones and Lee Foss revived their Hot Natured project for a sweet stroll through smiley vocal house territory in the company of one-time electrofunk revivalist Ali Love. "Benediction" is good for what it is - a vaguely deep, pleasant Hot Creations record - but the real killer here is the remix of former single "Forward Motion" by crusty old US garage head Mark "MK" Kinchen. He recalls those glory days of tough but groovy MK dubs with a rework straight out of 1993.

Alright This Morning
Alright This Morning (Nicholas remix)
Review: You can tell that producer The Black Madonna has a passion for soulful, disco rooted house music, and now on this release for Hometaping, he has the chance to express it further. "Alright This Morning" feeds off an overloaded loop, where nervous piano, sustained strings and a militaristic kind of percussion keep the pressure up high, only accentuated by the choice of bluesy vocals. Nicholas steps in for the remix, rounding out some of the edges into a deeper house stew, although he retains much of the intricacy of the rhythm section.

Love Me Or Leave Me (Fly mixx)
Love Me Or Leave Me (club dub)
Love Me Or Leave Me (klub style)
Review: The charitable people over at Slow To Speak are always generous, reissuing just about everything that was good in the 90s NY era, but for re-releasing Cherie Lee's "Love Me Or Leave", they probably deserve a medal. Four mixes here, starting with the Fly mixx - a feel-good house track containing those infectious lyrics we love so much. On the B, the drums are seriously garaged-up and those vocals chopped right down; and lastly, the Klub mix is still a garage-tinged beat but sparser and more widescreen - probably the most alluring of the three...

Hallelujah Anyway (Larse vocal) (6:49)
Hallelujah Anyway (Larse dub) (6:33)
Review: Those busy guys over at Defected are always quick to spot a valuable reissue or in this case, a stunning remix opportunity of an absolute classic! Lars takes care of giving Staton's "Hallelujah Away" a good tweaking, making it into a late-night house jam, keeping those beautiful lyrics in place but adding a hefty amount of shuffling kicks and snares to the pot. The dub is obviously deeper and more percussion-focussed but it nevertheless looses those beautiful pads which made the original so timeless. Recommended.

Rockin' Beats
Rockin' Beats (Shadow Child remix)
Not That Kind Of Girl
Not That Kind Of Girl (Mam remix)
Review: Having worked hard pushing his own Outcross label, Miguel Campbell is hitting the big time through his affiliation with Hot Creations, and this release should only serve to cement that burgeoning reputation. "Rockin' Beats" makes all the right moves with a clean disco house roll and a hooky vocoder rap turn, while Shadow Child creates a more intricate shuffle and moody synth line for his remix. "Not That Kind Of Girl" nods to Stephanie Mills' 80's gem "A Rush On Me", and sticks a rubbery boogie bassline underneath which should inspire grooving on dancefloors worldwide.

Where Did House Go (original)
Where Did House Go (Did house mix edit)
Where Did House Go (Did house dub original)
Review: With original copies of Jovonn's classic "Where Did House Go", released in 1993 on Kaleidoscope Records, changing hands for big money on Discogs, Millions Of Moments have reissued the track on limited edition clear vinyl, complete with dub version and edited form. With its smooth Rhodes keys, synth flutes, rolling drums and classic spoken word vocal extolling the importance of the culture of house music, it shows up most contemporary deep house to be seriously lacking in comparison.

Infinity (Claude Vonstroke remix)
Infinity (Richy Ahmed remix)
Review: Ali Love and Luca C's huge summer smash "Infinity" gets the remix treatment. It was such a big track Crosstown Rebels have been careful to commission two remixes that won't piddle over the original in disrespect. Naturally they've nailed it. Claude VonStroke builds on the original, keeping a lot of the vocal and adding two walloping basslines that purr and poke against each other glee. Richy Ahmed, meanwhile, totally recreates the original with a new drum structure, deeper bassline and a pitched down vocal. It's not until the jaw-dropping drop that you notice any similarities. Two exemplary examples of remix magic. To Infinity and beyond!

Mark Knight - "Alright" (original club mix)
Franky Rizardo - "Caracoles" (DJ Chus Iberican mix)
Miguel Campbell - "Something Special"
Todd Terry Presents Sound Design - "Bounce To The Beat" (Prok & Fitch School Of Todd remix)
Review: Capture the magic of the summer with this feisty four-tracker on Toolroom. Emphasising the island's penchant for classic house vibes, each of the cuts here roll with a sprightly organic groove that will work any time of the day, on the beach or indeed the club. Mark's "Alright" nods a heavy head to 25 years of house music. Rizardo's "Caracoles" is a percussive fusion of international styles and flavours. Campbell's "Something Special" is a more subdued warm up moment. Prok & Fitch finish the package with an outstanding remix of Todd Terry's classic "Bounce To The Beat".

Our House (Kink & Neville Watson remix)
Our House (Willie Burns remix)
Review: Strange Paradise, the enduringly rewarding LP from Orgue Electronique opened in notable fashion with "Our House" a track dominated by one of house music's most distinct voices n Robert Owens. It makes sense then for Creme to extract further joy from "Our House" with this clutch of expertly chosen remixes. The names Neville Watson and KiNK don't appear side by side as much as they did in that prolific 2010 period, but the Anglo-Bulgarian studio partnership is as potent as ever on this slab of wax. Wisely leaving Owen's vocal unfettered, the duo set about presenting a pulsating, throbbing introduction beneath that explodes into glorious melodic colour quite unexpectedly. On the flip Brooklyn Budgie Smuggler and WT Records boss Willie Burns drops two SP12 conjured remixes and they're both hot on that old skool jacking approach, with his first effort just shading it in our affections.

Drain
Greed
Hunger
Review: The electronic music heritage of Sheffield continues to be given an exciting new outlet via the Crooked Man imprint with the unveiling of Shangrilies. Ostensibly a collaboration between Crooked Man himself Richard Barratt and 80s Steel City mainstay Peter Hope, Shangrilies will excite anyone with a firm grip on Sheffield's 80s music scene. In addition the three tracks here cut a swathe through much of the polite music that currently gets released under the deep house banner, craftily pollinating the rhythms of house with their own Industrial leanings. It sounds like Hope and Barratt had a hoot at Crooked Man HQ making these, the former's forebodingly breathy delivery the perfect accompaniment to the semi knackered yet relentless grooves of the latter's productions, with the bass heavy "Greed" our pick of the bunch.

Flash Of Light (original mix)
Flash Of Light (Tale Of Us & Mind Against mix)
Flash Of Light (Solomun mix)
Review: You can always count on Southern Fried to give you all your booty-shaking, heart-pounding house desires...House heads Luca C and Brigante brought us "Flash Of Light" this year, featuring the climatic vocals of Roisin Murphy floating ever so graciously over the duo's tranquil beats and soft, harmonic timbres. This one is a biggie because we have two pretty gigantic rmeixes, one by Tale Of Us with Mind Against, who look to their 80-led, slo-mo take on house to guide things; and the other by Juno HQ favourite, Solomun, who takes things way down with hi inimitable seductiveness and brand-spanking fresh synth chords.

I'm In Love (Caught Up version)
I'm In Love (instrumental version)
Review: Having given the Dream 2 Science album the wider audience it richly deserved earlier this year, Rush Hour dig out another NYC garage classic from the archives of Ben Cenac for a much deserved reissue. Unlike that album, this Sha-Lor record Cenac recorded in collaboration with vocalists Sharmelle and Lorrie back in 1988 gained wider success, becoming a Summer Of Love staple. It's not hard to see why "I'm In Love" proved so enduring on the A Side Caught Up mix either, with the duo's vocals still retaining a power to move some 24 years on, while Cenac's stripped back bass heavy production is NYC garage at its finest. This being Rush Hour, there's also the bonus of a previously unreleased instrumental version occupying the flip.
