Five records I think y'all are sleepin' on. Week of 7/8/21 1. Paul Cut - Ma Pauvre Cousine EP (D.KO) Deep House / Downtempo. Before leaving on tour in 2019 with the legendary Larry Heard, Paul Cut managed to deliver his finest 4-tracker to date! Lovers of jazzy chords, fat basslines & deep grooves, you’re in for a treat!. 2. Omni A.M. - Key (Euphoria) Tech House / Electronic / Breaks. Back in the day Marky Star & Adam Collins (aka Omni AM) were on fire, pushing the tech house sound. This re-release of their 1997 "KEY" LP still sounds innovative today. Originally only 500 copies pressed and sold at Euphoria events throughout Chicago.   3. Toollbox - Aesthetic Ep (Ball Park Records) Deep House / Tech. Argentinian duo Toollbox presents their Aesthetic EP on the freshly launched Vinyl Only label, Ball Park Records with rising Dutch star Jesse Maas (PIV / Berg Audio) on the remix. 4. Padre - Baby Steps & Grand Gestures (Manjumasi) Minimal / Deep Tech. Padre is Pete Lazonby's alias. This Vinyl Only release is delightfully weird and diverse. From home to the club. 5. Ludwig & Sallaerts - Entre-Acte (MEANDER 28π) Ambient / Experimental / Leftfield. Just lovely emotive home listening EP covering ambient techno, downtempo, minimal jazz and a whole lot more. Records like this are why I love owning a record store. Best experienced for yourself.   

Five records I think y'all are sleepin' on. Week of 6/19/21 1. SofaTalk, Last Nubian - Nomada White V (Nomada Records) (M) Deep House / Broken Beat. Colombian imprint Nomada's 'White' series of EPs is an expansive affair featuring three deep, jazzy tracks with a broken beat funk from Last Nubian and Sofatalk.   2. Kemetic Just Presents, Just One - Memory By Flyway (People Of Earth) (M) Deep House. A deep soulful journey from ATL hometown heroes Kemit and Justin Chapman, put out on Michael Scott's Atlanta-based People of Earth Music. So good. Vinyl first.     3. Suinyl - Noteapresure (Curtea Veche) (M) Next up on Curtea Veche's Serii Speciale we have another talent from Argentina, Suinyl, with a 12" limited press on transparent wax. Trippy, jazzy, drummy stuff you'd hear from Villalobos, Cesar, or Raresh after the sun comes up. Vinyl Only.     4. Various - House Cookin Records 3 (HCRWAX003) (M) Deep House. A great 4-tracker featuring artists from around Europe bringing an old-school house flair to the scene. Piano house, jazzy chords & keys. It's all in there. Vinyl Only.    5. Sepp - Zbor Tandem EP (Botanic Minds) (M) 3rd release of Botanic Minds Original Series. This one got some play recently at UNUM Fest as well as Sunwaves Zanzibar. 12" 180g Vinyl only. Limited copies and no repress.
