PIV Limited Holland Schallplatten & CDs

Review: Prunk's PIV label has brought a new dimension to the contemporary house landscape. The Dutchman knows his classic sounds well but mixes that with sleek modernism and stylish electronic production to make for something new yet familiar, and many of the artists on his label fit into that. Enter Jesse Mass with four cuts of house that bump but with their own character. 'Les Yeux' is balmy and warm, 'Gross Weight' has a garage shuffle and 'Be My Everything' has a breezy West Coast tech sound.

Review: PIV Records is a Dutch deep house label with a consistent look and feel, keeping the energy up and staying true to the soulful roots of the sound. To commemorate their 2023 manoeuvres at ADE this year, the label have opted to put out a double pack sampler which shows off everything the label is about right now. If you need a grab bag of upfront joints to get a crowd greased up good and proper, look no further. Hector Couto brings the looped up sample bounce to 'Soul Train' while Lauren Lo Sung takes things deep and dreamy without skimping on the bump for 'Free Your Body'. Also watch out for Kellie Allen's 'The Music Box', which has a funk all of its own on a record full of distinctive grooves.
