COLORJAXX Vinyl & CDs

Review: Antwerp's Flipsight are fantasists of vintage alt-worlds; each of their single and EP covers depict a retrofuturistic synthesizer set against a serene, paradisiacal backdrop. The second in the formula comes from fellow producer ColorJaxx, whose four new contributions to the label - 'There Is Something', 'Tales Of Never', 'Night After Night' and 'Here For You' - provide a range of sample-heavy, deep future disco emotes.

Review: The third vinyl release of the year from Blur Records sees three distinguished producers - ColorJaxx, T.Markakis and Manuel Kane - sharing duties, each delivering a track each but with the distinctive, music-centred 'deep house fusion' flavour of the Blur label very much at their heart. ColorJaxx's 'I Know You' kicks off proceedings in upbeat mood, goaded along by a skippy garage beat, some beautiful piano work and arresting male vocals. 'Ain't Like That' by T.Markakis rolls slower and deeper, clouds of warm synth giving it a reassuring, dub feel, while Manuel Kane's 'Funk' boasts a cheery, end-of-evening sparkle with its hypnotic vocal samples and gentle sirens. Quality without pretention whichever way you turn.
