Fire Island was a project from UK house vets Terry Farley and Pete Heller, which went out with a bang in 1998 by collaborating with the mighty Loletta Holloway on the absolutely massive 'Shout To The Top'. Now Hifi Sean is getting to grips with the track and giving it a very tasteful re-rub which brings a little bit of Salsoul-speckled joy and passion to the original mix while keeping Holloway's vocal right where it should be out front and soaring. Sean's 'House Mix' is a dubbier, heavyweight affair that should go down well with the tech house crowd, but there's also a super sweet 'reprise' of the main mix which would be the perfect 'moment' in the midst of a set.

Every so often, a compilation comes along and delivers a snapshot of a city's underground music scene at a given moment in time. That's what compilers Rick Wilhite and Delano Smith have achieved with Parabellum Detroit, an expansive and predictably high-quality collection of cuts from some of the Motor City's finest producers. They naturally provide a couple of collaborative cuts of their own - the spacey, late-night techno hypnotism of '11 Minutes of Funk' and the intergalactic deep house drift of 'Neo Solaris', while there are also top-notch contributions from Javontte (the warm, soul-flecked deep house of 'Late Night Love'), Marcellus Pittman (beatdown chugger 'Everybody Party'), Gerald Mitchell AKA Soul Saver (the incredible 'Kaori'), the Moodymann Kenny Dixon Jr ( 'I'm Goin' Back') and Omar-S (a tidy Godson remix of 'VAT 69').

Detroit OG James Pennington returns with a killer limited 7" make haste!

The first exhibition at The Imaginary Museum is a collaborative effort between Utopia Cloak and The Jaffa Kid. Each artist takes one side each and offers up their own musical artefacts from the world of melodic electronica. Utopia Cloak opens up with a nostalgic and airy piece that takes you back to a long summer in your childhood. 'Matter Changing State' is just as blissful and has its head in the clouds, then the Mause Brighton Beach Sunset Brewskie remix layers in a little more drive with some glitchy beats. The Jaffa Kid offers post rave ambient breaks, slick electro and pad laced breakbeats for his three fine efforts.

Time Tunnel launched last August with a killer EP that sold out in double quick time. The second issue is another various artist affair featuring the same four talents, all on fine form. Gridzone immediately nails you to the floor with his hardcore breaks before 'Choked Beats' maintains the same energy but in a more dreamy, pad laced environment. NewKiller's 'The Dark' heads off into a dark future rave where high speed drums melt your mind, and last of all Gold Soundz closes down with the ragga-tinged rudeness of his stepper, 'L/C/A.'

Benny the Butcher's Black Soprano Family and DJ Drama come at beat making form very different ends of the spectrum. The former is part of a new generation looking back to the raw, grimy East Coast sound of the mid 90s, while the latest is much more forward facing and a key player in the evolution of a trap sound. Yet here they work in perfect harmony, cooking up tunes packed with hard bars but also lush production such as cinematic synth strings over booming beats. Fantasy crime narratives flow through the record with real gusto and make it all the more involving listen.

Summer is coming, which means so are the big outdoor house tunes we all love to hear with a few beers in us and the rays on our face. These are likely to have an even more explosive impact this summer when people have been stopped from dancing so long, especially when they're as pure and joyous as this one from Loods. The singable melody soars ever higher over punchy 909 drums. Disco elements and filtered French loops add extra bite and make this another epic win from the Australian producer.

Amsterdam's VBX gang member, DJ and producer Ferro makes his 2021 production bow with this intricate new EP on Romania's Amphia. It is an intimate sound on opener 'I Said' that is so delicate and deft it will utterly pass you by if you don't give it your full attention. Do so, though, and it is hugely rewarding. 'Post Apocalyptic Morning' is another world of twisted sine waves, skeletal beats and barely-there FX that dark you deep into a warren of rhythm. The title track bulges with bass stabs, off-grid synths and a wonky groove and last of all, 'The Contrary' has a more curious and melodic vibe, with crispy minimal beats a la Villalobos.
