Various Artists : Resurge Three [tup009]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on

“Digging up the digital crates and revisiting famliar grooves, Resurge Three marks the completion of the trilogy by bringing together alternate versions of known tracks and original material reserved for a proper release. Local talent Lee Fraged & Double Trouble make up for the first two tracks of the compilation with two deep house tracks: ‘Say it with your own words’ with sexy vocals on top of its driving bassline and percussion and an alternate version of ‘Fetish’ originally found in the very first This Side Up release. Swap sides, moving up north, to find two tracks, each one with its own distinct dub techno sound: Liquid Level’s ‘Ultra’ is a mover, sweeping albeit deep, while Dominique Jacquinet rides again on ‘Boulevard Road’ for a sound update of what was once found on his Floating EP.”

Various Artists : Resurge One [tup008]

“Four newcomers to the netlabel in four original tracks on this new This Side Up release. Traveling from Greece to the United States and all the way back to Berlin, this transatlantic EP delivers prime house music. Thomey Bors, on his debut track release, provides the big, fast-paced opener Zarpa, a detroit influenced driving piece with a distinctive lead bassline, and hands it over to Synaptic Flow who delivers a loop based hypnotic dub tech number based on solid drums and a square bass. No Sense sings the Athens’ Money Blues, a steady tech house tool with a big bassline and spoken vox, while Tony Bar, coming from releases on Serialism & Release Sustain, wraps up the package with his abstract groove Sex Crimes Unit, a track of original aesthetics and sequencing.”

LEE FRAGED // The Joint Stereo EP [TUP007]

Posted by f.a.r.e.s on


Delicious – one of my favs for this month! “After participating in various projects, remixing & producing tracks, Lee Fraged returns back to base for his debut personal EP, aptly named “The Joint Stereo EP”. Lee provides three deep, dubby, house tracks, as a creative result of his sleepless nights in Chania & Berlin the last years. This EP is a soundtrack of a life between these cities, a collection of sounds, images & contrasts, further enhanced by a solid set of remixes. Our boy, Double Trouble transforms ‘Bless the Sinners’ into a modern deep house piece with an early 00’s feel while Fraged & his serbian pal Mthaza give their own take on the same track – previously available only on the cd compilation Late Night Express. On the other hand, the man behind the mixing desk – Soniferous Garden – offers his interpretations on the other two tracks, by turning in a peudoacid and an antistatic mix.”
