Review: Those with an in-depth knowledge of house music's fringes may already be familiar with L.A-based Brazilian Jesse "Dreams" Pimenta. Previously, he's released solid, off-kilter fare on Trax Couture and the Private Selection Records imprint he launched back in 2013. Here, he's given a chance to showcase his productions to a wider audience via cult label Nous Disques. The EP's various tracks explore a number of avenues, from the wonky acid hypnotism of "Off The Grid", and drowsy deep house dustiness of "Night Cap", to the White Material-ish analogue techno throb of "Chain", and the crystalline chords and bouncy bottom-end of "Red Veil".

Review: London-based Michigan exile Karen Gwyer has been going about her business since 2012, delivering a range of experimental albums, 12"s and tapes for No Pain In Pop, Opal Tapes and Kaleidoscope. On this 12", she transfers to Nous, predictably delivering more robust, floor-friendly fare. A-side "Keisa Kizzy Kinite" is undeniably impressive, and combines loose, repetitive, alien-sounding synthesizer lines with ragged acid lines and the kind of oddball groove that sits somewhere between leftfield analogue house and mid tempo industrial techno. The Acrtress-ish "Brunch Music" is more overtly abrasive in a techno sense, while closer "Shit List With Kid" (a fantastic title, without doubt) tips a sly wink to Underground Resistance, Drexciya and early '90s British ambient house.

Review: Osaka's YPY originally built his reputation via a trio of self-released cassettes, all of which featured uniquely alien blends of broken techno, oddball house and experimental electronica. Here, he finally makes his debut on wax, delivering another typically imaginative and unusual set of tracks for Greece's Nous Disques. The real stand-out is "Holy Goof", which layers ghostly electronics, windy effects and bittersweet melodies atop a thrillingly energetic and surprisingly loose broken techno groove. With so many additional hits, it sounds like a jazz or punk drummer going crazy with a drum machine, while YPY knocks out a booming bassline at the same time. However you describe it, it's a delicious slice of fizzing, dancefloor darkness. And what a record sleeve!

Review: Call Super (the best known alias of producer Joseph R Seaton) rose to wider prominence following the release of debut album Suzi Ecto on the Fabric affiliated Houndstooth label last year. While that set mixed left-of-centre techno with more abstract and experimental excursions, there's no denying the floor-filling aspirations of this 12" for Nous. Both "Fluenka's Shelf" and "From Which I Fell" offer up twisted, re-imagined takes on the melodious end of Detroit techno, delivery deep house tempo cuts laden with undulating rhythms, yearning electronics and - on the latter of the two - abrasive acid influences. By Seaton's standards, both tracks are pretty warm and tuneful, though there's still an element of cloaked mystery amongst the bubbling electronics and offbeat machine drums.

Review: There's little online that reveals the identity of Nous newcomer O Xander, other than a minimalist Soundcloud profile peppered with unreleased demos and off-kilter re-edits. His debut for the Berlin-based imprint is nevertheless impressive, with opener "Lovers Theme" wrapping ghostly chords and woozy, electronic bass around an '80s electro-influenced deep house groove. The electro influence continues on the drum machine handclap-heavy "Jupiter Jam", while "Integrity & Intensity" and "Dirac Sea" both sound like the handiwork of Legowelt. Opal Tapes type Karen Gwyer remixes the latter cut, delivering a brilliant fusion of stuttering drum machine rhythms, drifting chords and fizzing electronics.

Review: Very little is known about Berlin-based Spoiled Drama, and an obligatory Internet search brings few credible results. Still, everyone loves a little mystery, and the material on this debut EP for Nous is quietly impressive. "Black Drama" laces elements of Alice Russell's classic vocal from the Quantic Soul Orchestra's "Pushin' On" over a foreboding, moody, late night deep house groove, while "Sun In Your Face" - all dreamy pads and crusty analogue beats - offers a hazier, deeper alternative. "The Dark Passenger" is strangely uplifting despite its melancholic chords and weird spoken word samples, while "Onto" throws some bubbling acid tweakery into the melting pot with typically deep and mesmerizing results.

Review: The Greek label that has since moved to Berlin, Nous, returns with a compilation of new works by their latest round-up of analogue noise merchants. Starting out with the stomping lo-fi techno of Juniper's "Movement From The Fade" or the dusty tribal trance of newcomer Fetnat's "Marbrahh", there's more underground techno delights to be discovered on the B side. Highlights here were the relentless, broken beat techno of "Headhunter" by Los Angeleno Dreams (pushing the same territory as Dream Weapons or Christopher Joseph), while Antigravity's "Mauvais Art" plunders the depths of lowdown and guttural electro in great style.

Review: There's something undeniably old-fashioned about this latest missive from hyped imprint Nous Disques. By gathering together seven unheard tracks on one slab of wax, they recall thoughts of classic compilations from early techno labels. Musically, it's undeniably forward thinking, gathering together a range of dancefloor-friendly cuts from label artists old and new. Highlights are plentiful, from the flexible disco bass and new age chords of Mutual Attraction's "Track 2", to the stripped-back, drum machine thump of Moodcut's "Sleep In 808", via the cybernetic techno fizz of "Azoui" by Fetnat. Elsewhere, you'll also find some fine Larry Heard style deep house revivalism from Breakin Moves, and a mid-tempo blast of colourful synthesizer love by Cofaxx.

Review: When he made his debut on Nous Disques last year, there was much discussion about whether O Xander - AKA DJ Rei Ayanami - was actually from Antarctica, as his sparse Soundcloud profile claimed. Either way, he's decided to roll with the theme on this fine follow-up, From Antarctica With Love. The EP's five tracks variously touch on icy electro ("Snowspeeder Blues"), windswept acid ("Thru Our Veins"), glacial electronica ("A Perfect Balance"), and clanking, mechanical techno (the deep but metallic "Full Spectrum"). The latter track is also featured in Juniper Dub form, with the Smallville and meandyou duo excelling at combining cut-up melody snippets with rolling, drum machine rhythms.

Review: The new Athens label Nous emerges with a manifesto to explore the cultural heritage of Greece, with the label name itself offering some insight into how they plan to deliver this message (Nous means mind in Greek) The hitherto unknown artist Miltiades helms the first release - with his own name referencing ancient Greek history - and demonstrates he's truly accomplished in the art of deep house across his four cuts on the EPK.X 12?. Those out there who like their deep house in the dubby flavour favoured by Patrice Scott, XDB and Keith Worthy will find this debut eminently appealing. There's a superb self styled 'refeel' of "W-Ww" from Innerspace Halflife's Hakim Murphy too!

Review: Athens label Nous made a strong impression with their debut release, providing a platform for local talent Miltiades to shine with his refined take on deep house. A second release from the label sees Nous turn to Wes 'Moon B' Gray, the self-professed 'bonafide hardware freak' whose emergence this year has been one of the more pleasing narratives. A clutch of cross-format releases for Going Good, Peoples Potential Unlimited and Hot Mix under the Moon B and Sean Sanders aliases all unified in their love of lo-fi grooves that variably slam or bump has made Gray a personal favourite here at Juno HQ. Adopting a new moniker in Vaib-R, the Intl EP presents a suite of three new productions from Gray that all feel dipped in lo-fi funk though there's an added crispness to the rhythmic elements. Budapest's Route 8 and local Greek talent Retrograde add some fine accompanying remixes!

Review: Nous Disques founder George Mavrikos has always been good at unearthing previously unheralded talents. His latest discovery is Fetnat, a producer from Lyon who has never before released on wax. Swahili is an assured and quietly impressive debut EP. Check, for example, the rubbery, stripped-back techno pulse of "BB2", or the curiously melodious, African-influenced "Ddar", whose combination of off-kilter drums, murky textures and tumbling melodies is particularly attractive. Many will also enjoy the dreamy chords and bubbly electronics of deep house shuffler "Kaoti", and the mind-bending late night techno throb of closer "Rotel".
