ALEX PRESTON Vinilo y CD

Review: Something special happens when a re-edits producer manages to loop the climax of a soul belting at just the right, high-pitched point, and that's exactly what's been achieved on this latest Alex Preston number. With DJ support from the likes of Danny Howard, Mark Knight, Milk & Sugar and Boston Dub, you just know that this one's stayed on heaviest rotation even before official release day. We can vouch for the Sydney producer's great taste: a Jocelyn Brown and Talking Heads edit each (the former track hears the aforementioned high-pitching technique) provide respective, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities for primetime dancefloor jouissance.

Review: French house tastemakers Robsoul return with four outstanding house tracks on vinyl by two talented Australian DJs. This collection features the most sought-after cuts from the three Secret Weapons projects which were originally available only digitally. Additionally, the release includes one exclusive, previously unreleased track, all of which bring these Australian DJs to a broader audience. 'When It Comes To Love' is a punchy one with sustained pads and classic sax, 'Let Me See You Work' is a nice loopy and lo-fi groove and 'Zone' and 'Movin' Up' close out with heady pads and feel-good vibes.
