Sixteenofive – Platform Vol. 17

Well here’s a tasty four-track release from huge label 1605. This is a label that is absolutely havin’ it at the moment with an army of powerful releases behind them. Lets go through these four tracks individually..

Groovebox & Electronic Empire – Puff Puff Pass – This is a main room tech house track with a nice choppy vocal sat over some big techy hats and a nice bass riff. The track breaks down nicely to just a kick and the vocal with a riser before the big drop, love it!

Xell & Howid – Glost – This builds nicely from the start, has a huge sub bass riff and a constant stabby synth throughout. Really long rising build up with loads of snares and fills then dropping back into the bassline. Nice!

Anti-Slam & W.E.A.P.O.N. – Champion Sound – I love the little vocal in this, and it’s been expertly chopped up. Nice big sub bass after the drop which sits under some big techy drums too, great tune.

Hazzaro – Rock It – Strong drums from the start, into a filtered bass and rising into an electro sounding riff with fusion of male and female vocal snippets. This has a real old skool retro feel to it and although different, is awesome!

Sixteenofive – Platform Vol. 16

Well, if there is a tech house blog on the internet that hasn’t featured this 8 track release on 1605 then they are clearly mad! What a release!! I’m not going to go into details about every track separately as it’d take too long! I will however, point out my favourite tracks on the release. For me, the best track of these is ‘Anti Slam & W.E.A.P.O.N. – Move It’ followed closely by ‘Egoism, Bazu – Kak Dela’. All 8 tracks are amazing and would get played out by me! Have a listen, it’s big!

Anti-Slam / W.E.A.P.O.N. & Cole Jonson – Don’t Touch That Stereo

This is a two part release by brothers ‘Anti-Slam’ & ‘W.E.A.P.O.N’ and the head honcho from label ‘Influential House’, Cole Jonson. The release consists of an original mix and a remix by YellowHeads. The original has a nice bouncy feeling with a big rise into a techy bassline drop and a nice filtered vocal loop too. The YellowHeads remix is slightly more chilled out than the original and is more of a deep tech remix. It has a nice bounce to it and I could imagine it absolutely going off on a club system. Great release for Phunk traxx!
