Room On Top
Cat: MC 041. Rel: 18 Dec 20
 
Minimal/Tech House
Room On Top (7:23)
Fares Please (6:13)
All Change (6:57)
Hold Tight (7:22)
Review: Back in the late 90s, first time tech house was still booming, and Nathan Coles and Terry Francis were right at the heart father sound's best material. Some of it came as The Delinquents, who now get proper and worthy reissue treatment thanks to the always vital Mint Condition label. Their Room on Top EP from 1998 showcased the best of their sound - there's the dark and driving "Room On Top", then the more tripped put and late night "Fares Please". "All Change" gets back to bouncing, punchy drum led business and "Hold Tight" offers a perfectly gooey and woozy downtempo track to get things started or end them in stylish fashion.

Discfunktional (reissue)
Cat: MC 060. Rel: 09 May 23
 
Minimal/Tech House
Disc (8:19)
Funktional (8:19)
Review: Following the sad passing of UK tech-house pioneer Nathan Coles earlier this year, this Mint Condition reissue has taken on an extra layer of emotional resonance. Co-produced by Coles and long-term creative partner Terry Francis, Discfunktional first surfaced on the pair's Wiggle label 23 years ago. It was their last release as The Delinquents. It remains a terrific record. A-side 'Disc' is a hypnotic, mind-altering and surprisingly tough peak-time delight - all short, sharp TB-303 lines, spacey synth riffs, tight piano stabs and breathless acid bass. The mind mangling early morning vibe continues via the similarly acid fired 'Funktional', whose foreboding sub-bass, winding TB-303 lines and crunchy drums are as infectious as they are addictive.

Breaking The Law EP (reissue)
Cat: MC 058. Rel: 24 Jan 23
 
Minimal/Tech House
Break & Enter (7:03)
TDA (To Danca Alot) (6:35)
GBH (Groovy Bouncy House) (5:50)
Review: Mint Condition is relentless in its mission to serve up carefully chosen reissues of house and tech classics from days gone by. It is now fast approaching a 60th EP as its strides into 2023 with UK tech house pioneers Terry Francis and Nathan Coles aka The Delinquents next up. This one came on their own Wiggle label back in 1998 and is perfectly indicative of their sound. 'Break & Enter' has warm liquid rubber bass, crispy snares and kinetic drum funk that makes you bump. 'TDA (To Dance Alot)' has chunky clicks and heavy drums that make you march and 'GBH (Groovy Bouncy House)' has a more far-sighted cosmic vibe.

How To Stay Alive
Cat: MC 053. Rel: 07 Apr 22
 
Breakbeat
How To Stay Alive (5:42)
Kick The Break In (8:43)
Review: Mint Condition has so far proved adept at licensing and reissuing high-grade fare from the 1990s that many people may have missed out on first time around. This single from Dylan Beale, one of two he released as Eze-Ozo back in 1991, is undoubtedly essential: a two-track bleep & breaks excursion that strikes a perfect balance between the alien, sci-fi sounding weight of purist bleep and the rolling energy of early breakbeat hardcore. 'How To Stay Alive' is shuffling, crunchy and sub-heavy, with nods to trippy US deep house as well as early Warp releases, while 'Kick The Break In' comes from the same sonic space as the contemporaneous Original Clique and Ubik releases.

Dubtown (remastered)
Cat: MC 062. Rel: 26 Jul 23
 
Minimal/Tech House
Hannah's House (6:50)
Hannah's Dub (7:35)
As You Cry (6:52)
Reggae's House (7:18)
Review: Terry Francis is a tech house OG. He's one of the earliest fabric residents and of course was half of Wiggle, a vital party and DJ pairing that helps shape tech house's earliest forms. He has a fine solo catalogue too and it is that which Mint Condition, the fine reissue label, digs into now to serve up his classic Dubtown. It opens up with the watery dub-tech and liquid grooves of 'Hannah's House' then gets a more melodic dub. 'As You Cry' is an irresistible groove with wobbly bass, sharp hi-hats and that kinetic sense of drive that a good tech house always has. Last up is another Rub N Tug classic, 'Reggae's House'.

Doing It
Doing It (12")
Cat: MC 043. Rel: 20 Nov 23
 
Minimal/Tech House
Curly Wurly (7:54)
The Poet (7:03)
Ambidextrous Left (6:54)
Flying Saucer (6:32)
Review: For those who either weren't around or not alive in the late 1990s, Housey Doingz was an all-star collective of British producers - including scene stalwarts Terry Francis and Nathan Coles - who helped codified the then emerging tech-house sound via a string of EPs and a superb debut album, "Doing It". This EP from reissue specialists Mint Condition mines that album, offering up four of the most sought-after and timeless tracks. Check first the electro-flavoured late-night intoxication of "Curly Wurly" - all rugged acid lines, twinkling lead lines and stabbing bass - before admiring the more breakbeat-flavoured classical tech-house purity of "The Poets". Elsewhere, shuffling, tech-tinged beats nestle beneath dreamy deep house chords on "Ambidextrous Left", while "Flying Saucer" is a creepy, all-action affair bestowed with a genuine sense of forward momentum.

The Last EP
Cat: MC 065. Rel: 14 Mar 24
 
Deep House
Automatik (6:37)
Loose End (5:41)
Rok Automatik (6:32)
The End (5:50)
Review: Mint Condition continues its run of strong reissues of house and techno music. Originally released on the cult label Robs records in 1995, Kilowatt's 'The Last EP' is finally getting the much deserved repress. Included is the wicked acid banger 'Loose End' which is a diamond of the mid-90s bleep house sound. 'The End' is another standout track on this release that gives us great memories of all the exciting IDM related going ons in the mid 90s - not least in the club of the same name - with echoes of 808 State from the late 80s too. Sometimes you aren't sure why a record's been reissued, but this one is definitely a worthy case. Expect these copies to go fast.

White Powder EP
Cat: MC 055. Rel: 28 Jul 22
 
Deep House
Heart (6:40)
$10 (7:03)
Giving Love (8:24)
Powder Chords (6:04)
Review: Mint Condition, as you probably know if you are reading this, deals in reissuing classic tech house cuts. It has raced ahead in its mission and is now up to a 55th EP. This one brings back Presence's White Powder EP. 'Heart' opens up with dark but well swung drums overlaid with diva vocals while '$10' is a frazzled, slapping cut with bubbling basslines from the 90s. 'Power Chords' is a loved up dee house cut with echoing pads and cavernous grooves and 'Giving Love' is a jumbled of tribal hits and woodpecker bass.

Tangerine Train
Cat: MC 059. Rel: 22 Feb 23
 
Minimal/Tech House
Tangerine Train (Absolute Runaway Train mix) (9:31)
Tangerine Train (Runaway Train beats) (5:02)
Tangerine Train (Lost In A Tunnel Of dub mix) (7:48)
Tangerine Train (Last Acid Train To Euphoria mix) (7:26)
Review: For their latest deep dive into house history, the dusty-fingered sonic archelogists behind the Mint Condition imprint have delved into the mid-90s catalogue of San Francisco producer turned sound designer Safar Bake. 'Tangerine Train' first appeared on the tiny Aqua Boogie Records imprint in 1996 and in recent years has become something of an in-demand collectible. This reissue boasts all four mixes from the original 12": the hypnotic, acid-flecked deep house/early deep house fusion of the 'Absolute Runaway Train Mix', the densely layered, pots-and-pans percussion of the 'Runaway Train Beats' version (an insanely good mixing tool), the smooth, organ-based powered deepness of the 'Lost In a Tunnel of Dub Mix', and the pleasingly wild, roughneck, mind-mangling hedonism of the brilliant 'Last Acid Train To Euphoria Mix'.

Making Faces (remastered)
Cat: MC 063. Rel: 15 Sep 23
 
Minimal/Tech House
Making Faces (7:59)
Twister (8:13)
Review: Mint Condition is exceptionally good at reissuing genuinely buried treasure, with their frequent vintage UK deep house and formative tech-house selections being particularly potent. They've hit the spot once more here, too, raiding the vaults of legendary UK tech-house imprint Oblong and returning with a killer 2002 single from Spincycle (AKA Dave Clements and Andy Davies). A-side 'Making Faces' is a great example of London tech-house from the period - all starry, echoing synthesiser motifs, dreamy chords, smooth bass and hypnotic beats - while flip-side 'Twister' sees them reach for bowel-bothering hoover bass, speed garage-influenced drums and undulating, Swag-style melodic motifs.
