Next up on Artizan Music, the extremely promising Russian producer SPIELTAPE follows recent EPs for big hitters Global Underground, Ostwind and Modulator Germany, with this excellent two tracker of deep, groovy, techy shizzle. If you like your Spirit Catcher, Manuel Tur or Phonique, then this is for you..

On the remixes, we proudly welcome LoudEast head honcho and man behind some truly seminal remixes for Freerange, Plastic City and Om..Spanish producer NACHO MARCO. Its a simple, yet devastatingly groovy and effective, percussive workout from him, guaranteed to move your ass! Jafar & Maxime Cescau’s Poussez rerub meanwhile, marries a skanking italodisco bass around some choice skat snippets, stabs and their trademark blend of deep house and techno. All in all a FIRING package!

Following hot on the heels of Demarkus Lewis, is Artizan’s latest from Lost my Dog’s main man and promising UK producer; Pete Dafeet. Berkshire’s finest brings the deep pressure, with the tasty two-track ‘Losing the Dog E.P’. Pete has been carving a serious niche for himself in recent years; Lost My dog has had well over 35 releases out, many by the man himself. Dafeet’s tracks are consistent dancefloor destroyers with a wide appeal. He’s also found his way on to the likes of Shaboom, Robsoul, Baker Street and Blacksoul Music, bridging the house/techno divide beautifully. We hope you’ll agree there is a timeless appeal to much of what Dafeet does and both these tracks deliver the goods yet again.

On the remix, we’ve kept it simple, its the welcome return of Artizan’s Jafar & Maxime Cescau, under their ‘Poussez’ guise, they go straight for the techno jugular with their ‘Forever Dreaming Mix’. A chordy main room stomper that we can see devastating the Summer terraces. Rounding the package off is Baker Street’s Holmes and Watz..

JAY TRIPWIRE (Seasons / Tonality, Canada):
Even tho young Da feet looks like harry potter or a future Dr Who, he sure can make some decent haus muzak. My pic of the bunch is her eyes, which
I assume is about the cross eyed girlfriend he has, who frighteningly resembles Olive from On the Buses. She does make a nice no crust marmite
sarny on whole grain spelt bread though, (wheat gives her the runs) while peter does magic tricks and plays u his hot new jams. Yeah!
