The Funk
Artist. Jazzy Eyewear / Label. Disko Zoo

Shak Digital and sub label Shaker Plates are off to a great start with their releases this year, with some excellent releases from a wide range of artists. They get their Funk on with "Fever Shak" and the one-track "Bang the Planet"; STACY KIDD throws down some tracky Chicago house vibes for "Jump & Jack" as well as "The Meaning of Jazz" on his House 4 Life label; the SHORT BUS KIDS are "On The Prowl" for their Bounce House label; JORES drops his debut EP "Play That Jazz" for Illegal Cargo; two funky duos from across the pond--SOUND DIGGERS & GROOVE FEDERATION--see their "Best Of..." works on Blockhead; INLAND KNIGHTS also drop a best of compilation for the "Amenti Sessions"; Bosconi's spinoff label Extra Virgin brings the heat with four jams from four different artists for "Like A Virgin"; and DJ SNEAK and SOYDAN team up for "The Latin Kardes", a jackin beat with a Spanish influence for a tasty EP from two of the House Gangsters.


Soul Full
Artist. Ralf Gum / Label. Cabinet

A long time ago there were three artists named LUKE SOLOMON, ROB MELLO and ZAKI D who really liked deep house and made a few tracks for CHEZ DAMIER's Prescription label. Fast forward 14 years later and Running Back dusts them off and adds an unreleased edit of one of the premier House EP's from that time and repackages it as "Prescription". Don't sleep on this classic reissue! RALF GUM presents "Gogo Music Volume 1", a fine collection of tracks from his popular Soul Full label; BANGANA kills it for Marlon D's Underground Collective label with "Fresh to Death"; STIMMING makes an appearance on the Lovebirds Knee Deep label with his remix of TIMMY VEGAS' "In From the Cold"; GLENN UNDERGROUND remixes "I Missed The Boat" for the Compost Black Label; ANDRE HARRIS releases his "Innate Soul Digital 4" compilation; great sounds from JAVI LOPEZ on his "Look What" EP for Onethirty; and Dessous let go of superb deep house with "Just For This" from RYO MURAKAMI with GRAEME CLARK on the remix.


Tek
Artist. Phonique / Label. TRAUM Schallplatten


JUSTIN LONG has been making noise with his solo projects, and his latest one is of "Colours" on Nathan Drew Laresen's Fresh Meat with a funky twist to the Tek sound; ACUMEN's three track EP "Middle" is another top notch in Upon You's label belt; ROCKFORD INC turn in some Moody sounds on "Like A Rock" for Jay Haze's Tuning Spork label; new label Disport kicks off their tech house label with JUSTIN HARRIS' "Paris Nights" and Mothership recording artist TANNER ROSS providing the moody remix; SOMEONE ELSE drops "Flusspferd Mist" for Seta Label and friend DAPAYK has the standout remix; the latest Freak N Chic, "Time Passes" from LOSOUL is simply essential listening; and ABE DUQUE and BLAKE BAXTER's "What Happened" gets Part 2 of the remixes of this classic Tek gem.


Down-N-Out
Artist. Inverse Cinematics / Label. Easy Street

Down N Out has a busy week as well--RAY MANG's "Bullet Proof" features Dee-Lite's LADY MISS KIER doing vocals for his DFA EP; "The Endless" is the latest disco EP from ULYSSES & FLIPSSON on Bear Funk; Future Classic drop their "Apres Compilation"; BASSNECTAR's "Cozza Frenzy Remix Pack" is out on OM Records sub-label Childs Play; and the mighty Wolf + Lamb get their mid-tempo on with "Time For Us" from NICOLAS JAAR.
