Back catalogue: House

Review: Four artists with a taste for classic deep house infused with more than a touch of house line on the Silver Walker label's sixth release. Following releases on the likes of Local Talk, Balance, Traxx Underground, Mate, Quintessentials and upcoming projects on Nervous and NDATL, Shaka opens proceedings with a flurry of Hammond and plenty of exotic percussion, lie Alan Hawkshaw riffing with Underground Resistance. Glenn Davis (Wolf, Yore Records, Deeper Groove and Selections Records) delivers a deeper house workout on the A2 house track, the jazzy keyboard chords, fluttering flute and restless synths working real magic. One of the masterminds behind the Silver Walker label, Diego aka DFRA, comes on all perky with the saxes and soloing Rhodes, on the second side's opener, 'Nitewax'. Then we close with Damien aka Keymono (founder of several labels including Monocturne Records and Funkyshirts) laying on the handclaps of classic disco strings, the snippets of funk guitar and vibes the cherry on top.

Review: Ketiov aka Wojciech Taranczuk, best known for his projects 3 Channels and Catz 'N Dogz. offers us a batch of percussive workouts extends his deep love affair with rhythm, offering seven tracks that blur the line between utility and artistry. Each track breathes with the warmth of live instrumentation, as if lifted straight from a jam session with an unstoppable groove. His knack for organic drum sounds, textured layering, and playful syncopation turns raw percussion into something deeply human. 'FT' and 'BA' roll with 130BPM urgency, while 'SU' takes a detour into loose, 105BPM funk, proving Ketiov's versatility. His approach recalls the tactile swing of old-school house yet feels utterly freshieach track a pocket of kinetic energy, primed for movement.
