01. Justus Köhncke - Feuerland [Kompakt]
Any new release by Herr Köhncke deserves attention, as he is one of Kompakt's most reliable producers. This single, however, is probably the best I've ever head from him. It is a cover of a song by kraut rock and ex Kraftwerk member Michael Rother, and it shows Justus using actual instruments to great effect. It's not a dancefloor bomb in the slightest, but what it is is one of those perfect fall tracks which, if listened to closely for its whole time, rewards with a real sense of excitement. The B-side is good, much more of a disco tune, and much more uptempo. It's the A side though that makes this #1 for this month.
02. Melchior Productions Ltd. - No Disco Future [Perlon]
03. Melchior Productions Ltd. - Don Juan/In the Spirit [Perlon]
I'm posting this right now without having listened to the full album. I've heard the samples and the promo mixed version, but not the real thing yet. However, it is here because of the huge sense of confidence I've always had in Thomas Melchior to produce some of the most exciting microhouse out there, and this is no disappointment. His last LP on Playhouse was glitchy and great, but 'No Disco Future' is very different. It's very much house music, stripped down as usual, but each track standing out with some of the best production out there today. Very excited to hear the full versions, as they will no doubt be stunning. If the teaser single Don Juan/In the Spirit is any indication, this will be album of the year material.
