Sonny Fodera – Can’t Deny EP

Here’s something by a huge artist and released on probably one of my favourite labels at the moment. Out now on Suara Records is this big four-track EP from Sonny Fodera.

We’ll kick things off by talking about the original mix of the title track ‘Can’t Deny’, featuring the vocals of Taliwa, this is an absolute powerhouse of a tune! As you may have noticed, I featured this track in my April edition on the phuk podcast. The track has an absolute monster deep bass pattern sitting under the main vocals and some big deep sketchy drums, this is my favourite of the EP and I can’t wait to play it out. The first of the two remixes of this track is by Leftwing & Kody, well as said in previous reviews, these boys are absolutely having it at the moment. In this remix they have incorporated a huge bass pattern with a slight acidy edge and a strange sounding warpy synth, I have definitely heard that sound before but can’t place it! The vocal is placed perfectly along with some other light and airy synths and some punchy drums, great remix. Next up is the Harvard Bass remix of Can’t Deny, this version is more of a deep, techy remix with 3-note sub-bass pattern sitting under some very minimal drums and offbeat hits as well as a male talking vocal cut up over the top. Eventually the bassline filters up into an acid sawtooth and a ride cymbal carries the track through and adds a nice big element to it.

The other track on this EP is called ‘It’s Like That’ and it is absolute quality! The breakdown has a robotic deep voice quoting the title over some airy synths and a few snares, this then builds into a deep bassline drop which would send a dancefloor crazy, guaranteed!

This release is already getting support from the likes of: Felix Da Housecat, Mark Knight, Max Graham, John Digweed, Dave Seamn, Technasia, Hot Since 82, Riva Starr, Thomas Schumacher, Dosem, Jay Lumen, Steve Lawler, Carlo Lio, Kaiserdisco, Tiger Stripes and many more! You need it in your gigbag..

SUARA – Kitties Go Deep Vol. 2 (20 Tracks)

Huge release for Suara Records and they have switched it up with this, 20 tracks of deep house bangers! I’m not gonna go through and explain about every track on this release as I’ll be here forever but having been sent this straight from Suara a while ago, I’ve had a chance to go through them and pick out my favourites! Trust me when I say this but every track on this release is brilliant, the ones that really stuck out to me though are ‘KANT – Bass & The Beats’, it’s a big bassline tune!, ‘EdOne & Bodden – You’re My Heart’ as I love the 80’s rhythm!, ‘Sugar Hill – Disco Music’ as it’s got another quality 80’s rhythm, and ‘Tough Love – Missing You’ because of the big bassline riff. This is absolutely massive! Have a listen and judge for yourself!

Mario Ochoa – It’s About To Go Down

There’s so many names in the tech house scene that are just doing it right now and standing out in that list is Mario Ochoa. I have recently blogged about his ‘Runaway’ track that came out on Avenue Recordings. This is something new coming out on Suara and it’s nothing short of spectacular! BIG old skool speed garage sounding bassline giving it a real dark element but some real choppy vocal over the top giving it a real tech house bounce. Can’t wait for the release!

Tube & Berger – Imprint Of Pleasure

This is the second track in Tube & Berger’s ‘Pleasure Dip EP’. This one’s a bit deeper and chilled out then some of their other releases but its fantastically produced. More of a driving tune we believe.
