Back catalogue: Funky/Club House

Review: Dennis Ferrer and Kyle Hall have been two of the biggest names in house music in the past 18 months, albeit to very different audiences. The veteran Ferrer excelled on the ubiquitous "Hey Hey" towards the tail end of last year, which was hailed as an anthem everywhere from Room 1 at Fabric to the White Isle. The talented Mr Hall, meanwhile, exploded onto the scene in 2010 with releases on such esteemed imprints as Warp, Rush Hour, Third Ear and Hyperdub. His remix of Ferrer's "The Red Room" undulates with the prodigious talent's trademark off kilter drum programming, with the vocals chopped up and dipped in subaquatic reverb, while the original flexes its peak time muscles with tropical percussion, throbbing synths and that killer vocal line.

Review: Two new slamming instrumentals grace this new double a-side EP. Already being championed by monster DJ's Louie Vega, Danny Krivit and Joe Claussell, this stunner once again showcases Dennis' diversity and distinct ability to go from uplifting spiritual pandemonium to hot, underground, deep, danceable, head-nodding tech. "Transitions" has that profound repetitive synthy bassline we all like so much, with Latin claps and afro-styled percussion, gargled vocal samples and much more. "Destination" starts off with slapping rhythms, then with strings drawn, he goes in to some far-off Middle Eastern world only to throw in Parisian-styled accordions on top. He meticulously assembles so many different sounds and his brilliant production sensibility allows him to seamlessly blend them all together. Crossing boundaries, cultures and continents "Destination" proves that it's just as much about the journey.

Review: If you haven't yet heard this tune, you've been missing out on one of the hottest, hands-in-the-air, gospel-esque dance songs to have been released this season.

Review: Taken from Dennis Ferrer's album 'The World As I See It', Church Lady has been causing a storm in Ibiza off the back of a limited service to key djs worldwide. support from Louie Vega, Martin Solveig, dj Spen, Terry Farley, Jamie Lewis and Dimitri From Paris.

Review: "Church Lady", one of the hottest King Street titles to date, gets the royal remix treatment with the help of super producer Bryan Cox! His unique sound brings elements of funk and techno to the table in this stellar offering.

Review: Deeper than deep celebration of the underground. Very classic sound with wicked bass, gut wrenchingly soulful vocals, that more than aptly conveys the feeling. Well placed organ and some bursts of bass led energy that will leave you weak. Solid B-side instrumental shows off the strength of the track on it's own, even without those incredible vocals.

Review: Given that Defected's multi-arist EP series was designed as a way for vinyl DJs to get hold of some of the imrpint's biggest digital download hits, you'll be unsurprised to learn that volume nine contains some seriously sizable material. Riva Starr kicks things off with a remix of Dennis Ferrer classic "Hey! Hey!" that turns the track into a Moroder style electro-disco throb-job, before Ferreck Dawn delivers some big room vocal house pleasure. Over on the flip, John Summit's "Deep End" is another beefy big room workout built around sweet female vocals and a thickset bassline, while Offiah's "Play It By Ear" is a 21st century update of the muscular, mid-90s MK sound.

Review: Now under new ownership (international dance music powerhouse Armada Music, fact fans), long-serving New York house imprint King Street Sounds is doing a good job in showcasing gems from its vast archives. This second label sampler contains four more genuine must-have cuts. First up, there's a chance to admire the deep, soulful house wonder that is Dennis Ferrer's 2008 hook-up with honeyed vocalist K.T. Brooks, 'How Do I Let Go'. It's followed by Masters at Work's deliciously loose, disco-influenced deep house revision of 'Give It Up' by Lil' Louis' Rain project (first released in 2000), Mood II Swing's DIY Soundsystem favourite 'Sunlight In My Eyes' (easily one of the greatest deep house jams of all time) and Lil' Louis's swinging garage-house rub of Kimra Lovelace's 'Misery'.

Review: There are promising signs that something of a renaissance in dance music is taking place in the greater New York area, helmed by one of the new school progenitors of deep house. As half of New Jersey based Sfere Recordings along with house legend Kerri Chandler, Dennis Ferrer can only be described as the face of hope for a new generation of producers of deep and musical electronic grooves. A real artist with an aptitude for song-writing and new production concepts, Ferrer is undoubtedly at the top of his game. Known first and foremast as having the Midas touch with remixing, this long player displays Dennis Ferrer as a songwriter, producer and tastemaker at the pinnacle of his powers.
