With 4 tracks spread over 4 luxurious sides, sourcing material both familiar and obscure, this release is an education on how to craft the perfect extended DJ version. Limited release!

Nachtbraker is back! It's been a huge year for the Amsterdam deep house juggernaut who returns to Dirt Crew with his all new and colourfully titled Really Ties The Room Together EP.Constantly on the move, he's found time between touring throughout Europe, Asia and South America to continue to push his a-typical house sound forward with this year's HEIST release and his quirky jam Busy Bee that was featured on our Deep Love 100 Compilation.This three tracker is jam packed with bouncing club tunes and a whole lot of flange. Things kick off with the title track Really Ties The Room Together. It twists and turns over an unconventional but irresistible groove, shimmying shakers, brass stabs and a serpentine riff work together creating a super tight dance floor cut.Rew begins somewhere in deeper territory, suspense building beneath the clouds, a rumbling bass rolls in from over the horizon before a glorious funk guitar blows the whole thing wide open, letting the sun's rays burst through and that familiar Nachtbraker good time energy shine in.The rerub of Rew is something altogether new from our deep house protagonist, a break beat and casual groove guide gently towards an ever intensifying acid trip. Don't be fooled by the lovely deep chords, things get nasty in the end.It's best to expect the unexpected from our adventurous resident producer, and this EP is no exception.

Kian T, a self-confessed analogue synth addict, steps up for the 6th Secret Reels release and with an EP on Big Bait already under his belt and one forthcoming on Toy Tonics, 2016 is looking like a vintage year for this Italian producer.This EP is all about tough beats, warm & punchy synth lines and a few dusty vinyl samples thrown in for good measure.Kian's production values are always on point, and these 3 tracks are no exception, instantly standing out from the crowd.On remix duties is man of the moment Daniel Leseman. His solo productions and remixes are firm favourites with a vast swathe of top DJ's.He is also one half of Fouk, alongside Junktion, who have absolutely taken over recently with releases on Heist, Razor-N-Tape, House Of Disco and not to mention their own label Outplay.Daniel turns the tough syncopated beats of Flughafen into a shimmering, funk-laden piece of house.

The Kat Edits label have scored a real coup here, licensing a pair of tweaks the legend Domu originally committed to a super-rare Japan only CD compilation for the ESP DJ Classics series back in 2009. Domu's always been a classy producer no matter what he turns his hands to and this pair of edits really do deserve to be preserved on the vinyl format - kudos to Kat! Up top, "Love Vibes" by The Emotions is given a slightly upwards pitch adjustment by Domu, with plenty of skilled filtering to boot, whilst the B-side sees Claudia Barry's classic 1978 jammer "Give it Up" is embellished with some extra raunch sauce.

2 great downtempo tracks on another fine reissue from Adelaide's, Isle Of Jura . Check out Beach for a sublime tropical winner. BIG Tip! .Chrismar Chayell‘s It’s Never Too Hot 12″ first appeared on the now defunct Antler Records back in 1987, but Isle Of Jura make the balmy two-tracker their sophomore release. Infusing Belgian new beat rhythms with sea breeze and tropical fervour, both sides will transport you to the hidden cove of a deserted Caribbean island. As their previous release, a big Harvey favourite and fetching a pretty penny in the beardy circles...
