MFM 012X-EP
|
With Australia's dance music scene being more prolific than ever, it's only fitting that one of the continent's hottest tickets appears in the Running Back universe. Sam Alfred's debut on its subsidiary Misfit Melodies melts the old with the new, swings the hips with the hits and unites the past with the future. The man with the adorable underground white label MP3 Shine II Dawn under his belt, is not only a DJ to die for, but also a witty, interesting and most of all enchanting studio talent. Aptly titled Roadblocks, this five-track-EP once more underlines his appeal: his-speed house and sprinkles of retro rave meet the melodies of tomorrow. "While My Heart" and "Back To" sound like Strictly Rhythm tracks played by UK Garage DJs. "Drift" and "Fortune" are prime examples of Sam's production powers. last, but not least the title track is the result of a trip to Dekmantel and a nod to the proggy bounce of the '90s. Built with love and made to last.

Maximum vocal power and prime time dramatics by Chrissy and Carrie Wilds. The San Francisco based DJ and producer shows his stylistic versatility and technical capability to work with vocals, melodies and sound sources. Like a facsimile of the late 1980s house/freestyle record that you never owned, Things Can't Go On Like This Forever ticks all the right boxes. Heartfelt vocals (by the great Carrie Wilds: check! Timely social message: check! Melodic euphoria: check! Old school house and true school freestyle flavor: check! Comes in various mixes and with a freestyle bonus beat special. Additional airtime is given to the now classic Chrissy production "So I Go Dancing." Done in a traditional remix fashion by Gerd Janson it highlights all the features of the original and again Carrie's enchanting voice, extends the included hysteria and adds a few snare rolls.

MISFIT 006EP
|
With the second record for Misfit Melodies and the fourth for the Running Back universe, Robert Dietz solidifies and hones his very own sound. Heartfelt and emotive, a slice of lovers acid works as the prelude to an EP of IDM patterns and classic house tropes, It's something that is as much fun as it is funky. Great Hormones At Bed Time EP owes the same amount of money to Detroit as it does to Frankfurt am Main. Definitely no lullabies here.

Some things just get better with age. House Grooves Vol. 1 marks a time in history, where a young Move D felt ignited by the classic house music sounds of the day. Strict rhythms and nu grooves forged masterful networks with bleeps and clonks, pianos helped synthesizing dopamine and the future was wide open. It features Move D's sought-after magic moment "I Gave My Love", a collaboration with See Base, the bass line swing of a DJ Chicken edit of "Babyphonk" and a breakbeat-led remix by Shan & Gerd Janson.

MFM 001EP
|
Underground hero LD Nero delivers the first release on the anything-goes Misfit Melodies label. Tried and tested Nero deepness melds with his rave alter ego and beloved nonconformity. Gerd Janson and Lopazz's remix of "Third Eye Sunglasses" takes a more traditional deep house approach, while Bad Cop Bad Cop deliver a blue-eyed dub reggae take on the same track.
