Midnight On Roadbow Road (beat edit) (6:34)
Midnight On Roadbow Road (6:23)
Review: Leon Vynehall's stunningly picturesque "Midnight On Rainbow Road" was one of the undoubted highlights of Gerd Jansen's second Musik For Autobahns compilation, which was released in the autumn of 2015 by Rush Hour. Here, it gets a deserved single release, with the original - a hypnotic, driving-inspired blend of fluid electronic melodies, a wispy percussion and Jonny Nash style glistening guitar lines - being complimented by a brand new "Beat Edit". This adds a slowly unfurling, head-nodding rhythm that takes the track further towards Detroit Beatdown territory. In essence, though, it sounds like an early '90s ambient house jam. That's no bad thing, given that Vynehall seems to have emphasised the sun-kissed beauty of the original in the process.

Review: For deep house diggers, Soichi Terada has long been a source of inspiration. While he's still active, it's the early '90s material he released on the Far East Recordings label - an imprint he founded soon after his graduation in 1990 - that most excites. Following the 2014 re-release of his sublime hook-up with Nami Shimada, "Sunshower", Rush Hour has decided to put together this excellent retrospective. Compiled by self-confessed fan Hunee, Sounds From The Far East contains a mixture of hard-to-find Terada originals, collaborations, and tracks by fellow Far East Recordings artist Shinichiro Yokota, all in the label's trademark melody-rich, evocative deep house style.

Review: Vibes New & Rare Music 2 reaches it's conclusion here as Rush Hour drop the second and final double vinyl helping of the Rick Wilhite curated compilation with a suitably high profile cast of contributors involved. If you checked Part One which dropped earlier this year, you'll know Wilhite has expanded the remit to include producers from Chicago and New York - and if you didn't check it what's wrong with you! Any compilation that starts with an exclusive cut from Moodymann is gonna be good, and the dusty, disjointed "Momma" sets the tone quality wise for what follows. The Godson himself delivers a thunderous, stripped back take on "A Matter of Honour" by Sean Tate and this dukes it out with the apocalyptic electro of DJ Stingray and the rugged beatdown of Orlando Voorn as our favourites from this great collection.

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.

Review: Having previously built up a solid relationship with legendary New York deep house producer Ben 'Cozmo D' Cenac via their 2012 reissue of his Dream II Science 12" from 1990, Rush Hour once again mine his back catalogue with impressive effect. Bang The Drums, his first and only album under the Push/Pull alias, has long been regarded as something of a slept-on deep house classic. It's similar in style to the Dream II Science material, but with greater use of African rhythms and instrumentation. Given when it was made, there are also nods to hip-house (check the groove and stabs on "Africa", as well as the title track) and, perhaps most interestingly, classic New Jersey garage ("Zanzibar", seemingly a tribute to Tony Humphries' club of the same name).

Review: Cult Japanese video game soundtrack designer and happy house hero Soichi Terada's last album Asakusa Light on Rush Hour gets picked apart from some top remixes here. First to go is a former hip-hop beatsmith turned deep house don Byron The Aquarius. He smooths out the grooves of 'Bamboo Fighter' and layers in dusty chords and diffuse melodies that are heartwarming and hypnotic. 'Takusambient' then gets a fine treatment from Alex Attias who brings bubbly chords and bass to a lively deep house cut that is full of subtle party vibes.

Review: Niels Nieuborg has long been a player on Holland's live music scene, largely working with ex-pat musicians from Carpe Verde and Surinam. This superb three-track EP marks his first recorded output and includes collaborations with vocalists Americo Brito and Orlando Julius. The latter stars on two up-tempo chunks of boogie-era Afrobeat that sit somewhere between the Moog-driven brilliance of William Onyeabor and the up-tempo urgency of vintage Afro-disco. It's arguably A-side "Nos Magia", featuring Brito's distinctive vocals, that really stands out, though. Spacey and incessantly funky with fizzing electronics, urgent Clavinet lines and crispy Afro-funk guitars, it's not only a killer club cut but also a thing of rare beauty.

I Feel Good All Over (5:38)
Jacques Theme (5:38)
Release Your Body (5:07)
Let It Rip (5:29)
Review: Helmed by Kid Batchelor and Keith Franklin, Bang The Party were one of the first UK groups to capture the acid house explosion as it found a foothold in the legendary RIP parties and other seminal early spots. Their sound bridges the gap from the prior rare groove warehouse scene and gives it a sweaty Chicago injection, and it's captured brilliantly on this, their breakthrough debut record from 1987. There's a strong soulful edge to 'I Feel Good All Over', while 'Jacques Theme' has a dreamy, surreal tint, and 'Release Your Body' channels a little Motor City flair in its twitchy synth lines and drum programming, but crucially this was one of the first indications of house and techno finding a distinct character across the pond ahead of the wider house culture that would blow up in the years that followed. Truly pioneering music.

Review: Rush Hour's intermittent "No Label" series returns in form here, opting to tap up the analogue supergroup of Torn Hawk, Secret Circuit and Willie Burns for From The Legal Pad Of, a collaborative release of two tracks that mine the post-Balearic, '80s rock vibe intersection the three do so well. As you'd expect, there a distinctly hazy '80s air to proceedings, no doubt brought by the guitar contributions of Torn Hawk, while the more vivid electronics of Secret Circuit offer a fine counterbalance to Willie Burns more driving elements, particularly on the motorik A-side. An excellent collaboration that we hope yields further material....

Review: The Rush Hour backed campaign to secure wider acclaim for the music of Nebraska aka producer Ali Gibbs gathers apace with this crucial vinyl edition of a long overdue second long player. Anyone who has indulged in one or more of the four Nebraska twelves to surface via the Amsterdam based label will have an idea of what to expect here - a canny melding of classic disco elements and dusted house rhythms. From the opening urgency of "Allahabad" expectations are matched and surpassed, with a dizzying liquefied sound modulating in kaleidoscopic fashion around intricately poised percussion and upwardly rippling bass. Focus hard on the track's progression and you are hooked. The subsequent seven new productions all captivate in a similar fashion and mark Gibbs out as one of house music's most unappreciated purveyors. This vinyl release is an early treat for fans of wax ahead of the CD and digital versions that also include the tracks held on the aforementioned twelve inch releases.

Review: The tireless peeps at Rush Hour launch the Vault Series, in which the Dutch imprint rummages for overlooked and unreleased tracks sitting in a big shed out the back of their Amsterdam-based record store. They kick things off in consummate style, with the hitherto unknown (to us, anyway) Duster Valentine dropping the ace "(My Back Is) Against Wall", which features a killer sample of "The Pressure" by Sound of Blackness. A thick set drum loop works for your attention below the vocals, occasional keys and dusty groove - highly recommended. The heads out there will be delighted to see Aardvarck's instantly recognisable party jam "(Just Washed) That Pig" from a few years back given a sorely needed extension!

Suffice to say, it should be essential listening for anyone who loves quality house and techno.

We Like Dubs
Choice Or Dubs
Review: Rush Hour further document Tom Trago's continual maturity as a producer par excellence with this EP which sees the Amsterdam resident extend and rework a quartet of tracks from his acclaimed second album Iris. These dubbed versions are a welcome bonus from Trago's recent switch to performing live, with each of the tracks here the end product of live experimentation. Trago's focus is on the album tracks that were shorter productions aimed at bridging the different moods, and reworked here they come to life as the inner qualities are unveiled and embellished for the dancefloor. "Life In Dubs" in particular is brought to life, arising from the guttural throb and chirping bird like melody into a dubby percussive monster that never settles into any one rhythm. Equally, the one minute excursion through beatless keys "We Like Naom" is fully reimagined as burning, UK garage flecked brilliance on the B Side "We Like Dubs".

The Juggler
Review: Steven Warwick makes the move to Rush Hour to share another four cuts of his twee keyboard excursions. It's a diverse affair, not least considering the limitations Warwick puts on his means of production, starting off boldly with "Borderlands". An engrossing melodic hook and deceptive miniscule beat hide well for the fact that a peak-time bass hook and heavy rhythm patterns are just around the corner. "Spacescape" is a perfectly charming cruise through dubby terrain, with a slow disco beat as a guide through the liquid sound effects. "Convergence" takes the form of a primitive Chicago cut from the earliest days, while "The Juggler" gets a bit more frisky with its cheeky plastic organs.

Dangerously prolific in the period since Plastic World, BNJMN marks his first material of 2012 with a second Unknown release for Rush Hour. This three track release finds BNJMN in precision driven rhythm form, with the opening production "Minus One" a sparse techno arrangement of rubbery basslines, gloopy drum sounds and frosty synths. This canny marriage of innate melodies with other worldly techno patterns continues on the flip with the gradual soar of "Shadow", whilst the multi textured "Unrest" wouldn't sound out of place on the Mathematics imprint.

Review: Rush Hour's Voyage Direct sub label might have just collared a certain Carl Craig to dust down a Tom Trago classic, but they've not lost sight of their steadfast approach of releasing material from a Dutch only pool of music talent. This new release sees the label reach out to Den Haag and welcome the sounds of William Kouam Djoko into the fold. This producer may be new to some, but Djoko is a fixture on the Dutch scene with several drops on 2000 and One's Thirtyonetwenty imprint. His Voyage Direct debut opens with the expansive sounds of "Enforce YS" which has ripples of analogue grooves bubbling in and around dramatic smudged keys and rough hewn drums. The flip has Djoko in much more energetic and playfully hypnotic mood, presenting two variants on "We Are Your Brothers & Sisters" - watch out for that swerve into spectral organs and clattering drum breaks son!

Review: Since debuting on the excellent WT imprint some three years ago, the Berlin based producer Hunee hasn't exactly been prolific, but you can't fault the pedigree of the labels he has graced or indeed the quality of his music. Rush Hour, Future Times, Permanent Vacation, Internasjonal and most recently Dekmantel have all benefitted from his masterful approach to crafting house music, and Hunee returns to Rush Hour with two productions that provide an auspicious look into how his forthcoming long player for the Amsterdam hub is shaping up. "Tide" ploughs a similar mind bending path to Hunee's recent contribution to Dekmantel's Anniversary series, with an infectious analogue synth line at the core and plenty of rough, layered drum sounds adding freeform energy. Equally the B Side tropical jam "Minnoch" is filled with trademark stylistic touches from Hunee with the stop start playful rhythms complemented expansive fuzzy bass tones and an enviable attention to sonic detail.

Review: Debuting on Rush Hour via their excellent Amsterdam All Stars compilation last year, Simon Weiss was the one relative unknown quantity amidst a cast of established, quality producers. "Amsterdam Wave" did however demonstrate Weiss to be worthy of such celebrated company, and Yesterday Is Around, his subsequent release for Hometaping Is Killing Music further established Weiss as a talented producer, effortlessly gliding towards the top of our list of favourite Hometaping releases. Weiss now steps up for a release on Rush Hour, with the Wave EP featuring a Rewaved version of his All Stars contribution along with three other dusty gems. And it's the simmering jack heavy emotion of "Return (The Wave)" that particularly impresses, slowly rising from the analogue mists into a chunky rhythm that shifts the chords around the stereo channels with rough vigour, slipping in twisted analogue spirals without any notice and generally feeling like Weiss was having fun in the studio during its inception.

Review: Transmitting Sound Signals To Your Galaxy is the phrase that greets you on the website for Jump Chico Slamm, the superbly monikered Jack alias of Chicago vocalist Faustin Lenon. Under the name, Lenon was responsible for Slamm Project, an EP of four Cajual funkers back in the early nineties before moving on to work on other musical projects. Typically, Rush Hour were working towards reissuing "Feel Free" from that aforementioned Cajual release when they stumbled across an unreleased Chico Slammer in the shape of "Galactic Alignment". Despite the fact the track's been lying in DAT tape dormancy for years, it still sounds totally fresh today - particularly the caked in bug powder dust A Side Sound Signal Mix that does the cosmic intentions of its title full justice.

Review: Kink, real name Strahil Velchev, has always been known to deliver a high dosage of disco-filtered funk in his records and this latest instalment on Holland's Rush Hour is no exception. The main mix of "Hand Made" dives head first into a fast-paced beat which points directly to peak time play. Once the bouncing groove has been given space to establish itself, Velchev introduces the soulful vocals of Rachel Row to play over the beat with frankly epic effect. The dub mix emphasises the disco-house vibes created on the main mix but injects sharper concoctions of high-hats and rimshots for more DJ-friendly uses. "Express" takes a darker approach to things and keeps on building until we're left with a nasty electro groove for the small hours.

Review: Rednose Distrikt's Steven De Peven emerges from his producing slumber under this new alias with two excellent productions for Voyages Direct; the Tom Trago curated Rush Hour off-shoot. "Get That BeeDeeBee" bumps at a mid tempo pace, with a searing keyboard riff that drops intermittently to a backdrop of emotive uplifting chords and an ever mutating heavy beat augmented by barely audible vocal grunts. De Peven ups the pace on the flip with "I'm Coming Baby" filtering luscious disco vibes through crisp house drum programming and Detroit chords that radiate dancefloor heat. The final product is something that wouldn't sound out of place on the recent Rick Wilhite compilation.

Unhouse
Review: Marking the final release in Daniel Wang's Best of Balihu series, the disco connoisseur compiles some unreleased cuts and newer versions of tunes from his seminal EPs.

While having never been a huge sample fiend in his time, probably the most noticeable appropriation on the EP is the accapella of "You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)" by Sylvester on first tune Sylver Belt. It only makes a fleeting appearance though as Mr Wang keeps things moving quickly over the course of the tune, switching things up like Coldcut did in their heyday.

More conventional is Not Feeling It, which plunges straight into an awesome late-night groove, with heavily reverbed vocals and sparse Techno stabs over some wickedly punchy kicks. East Village Hustle brings some lush and silky strings into the mix, and keeps the funk going with some equally tasteful bass.

The instrumental version of If It Feels Good has been kept in Wang's archive until now and finally gets a release here. Some other very vintage pieces show up on the EP also, Shadows for example is as rare as hens teeth, as well as Unhouse, which is a quirky yet soulful Rhodes and flute-fest.

Definitely a must-have for all fans of the Balihu series and for anyone interested in Nu-Disco period.

Review: The requisite weekly spotlight on a Rush Hour release falls on the ace beat programming skills of Nebraska. As the EP title suggests this is the London production don's fourth EP for our favourite label run out of a record shop in central Amsterdam. "This Is The Way" reveals itself as an immediate highlight, the track building expertly through an oscillating filtered disco groove that prevails before a drop into glorious vocal harmonies. In contrast "Bar Story" slips infectious icy key patterns over a shuffle of overdubbed percussion and vocal edits, before slipping into luminous otherworldly territory around the three minute mark. The lavish Detroit incandescence of "Ras El Hanout" proves to be equally captivating, whilst "Arrondissement" delivers a perfect example of Nebraska's talent for intricate syncopation.

Review: Rush Hour, feted by all for their output in 2010, eschew any laurel resting opportunities with an absolute shed load of twelve inches this week, lead by this gloriously gloopy EP of warehouse jams from Freak Seven. The alias of Manchester based producer Naveed Akhtar, Freak Seven was last seen dropping some Detroit tinged output on New Kingdom some seven years ago. This release marks a well overdue return and is drenched in house music history thanks to the vocal contribution from Aniff Akinola, who's CV includes co-writing "Voodoo Ray"! This pub quiz fact is barely the most impressive aspect, with the title track "Nano Kids" dripping with a pulsating sweaty bleeping energy which combines brilliantly with Akinola's anthemic vocal refrain. This is complemented by the rougher, darker sonic headfuck of "Feel The Soul" with percussion bouncing off the rumbling rubber band bass, off kilter rhythms combining with spooked out sax flourishes and heavily phased vocals that suddenly rise to dominate brilliantly at the mid section. Instrumentals are on the flip but seem lacking in comparison.

Review: After the brief dalliance on Planet E that was Night Lights, The Oliverwho Factory turn in some equally splendid dusty techno meets lunar electro for Rush Hour. "Galactic Transit" starts in rattling Theo Parrish style fashion, little more than spinal syncopation and booming bass hits before setting off for the stars via Shonie C's cooing refrain. The point where her vocals float over a surfeit of glistening pads is a blissful moment that continues to build and builds before somehow twisting into a futuristic electro jam as the end nears. The flipside version removes the vocals, which only serves to highlight the hypnotic effect of the track. Big tip!

Review: This is the last of two vinyl teasers from Rush Hour ahead of what looks like a brilliant Recloose retrospective CD. Proceedings open with the stuttering click and thump of "Mym 230 (RIP)" which was included on Matt's debut EP for Planet E way back in 1998. It's a mark of his talent that the cavernous bass throb and jazz techno flourishes sound just as pertinent some 12 years later. This is complemented by a previously unreleased track in "Antares", a flip towards loose filtered house that's made special by the introduction of a delightfully soulful vocal harmony sampled and cut to fit the gaps. On the flip, one of Recloose's biggest tracks "Can't Take It" makes a welcome reappearance, with Dwele's distinctive voice riding out over the burning boogie melodies. Another unreleased gem from the Recloose archives in "Crosstown" rounds off another must have RH release.
