Review: Killer debut turn on Mr Zap's Ethereal Sounds label from Miruga, last seen appearing on the appropriately named Drift Deeper label at the turn of 2012. Ethereal Sound completists will gladly add the Human Tube EP to their collection, with the two tracks from the Japanese producer a perfect fit for the label's aesthetic. Commencing with freeform percussive touches cascading around the channels, the title track eventually settles into a thick set groove, with a glacial sheen somehow keeping a lid on the many layers of texture and found sound that Miruga packs inbetween. It has that dual sensation of busy and calm that punctuates so much Ethereal Sound output and is complemented by the facedown business of "This Side Of Sunshine", a bonafide entry into deep house authenticity. A central playful axis between stop start piano samples caked in vinyl crackle and equally dusty drums is complemented by some well judged chord shimmers that remain just within ear shot - you can picture Peterson investing in fresh pants at the mere prospect of playing this one.

Review: New Ethereal vibes straight out of Russia! Unknown artist SH2000 marks the 22nd release for the label and it comes as a fresh addition to their already impressive catalogue. "Good News" is a wonky, acid-laden house excursion with sharp breakbeats and a studious arrangement of polyphony and effects. Over on the flip, Yuri Shulgin takes care of the remix and emphasises the disconnection between the breakbeats to full effect. It almost sounds like a dub version of the original and it's exactly the sort of thing which we like to hear. Exquisite productions from a great independent label!

Review: Smallville stalwart Christopher Rau is currently in a rich vein of form - in recent times he's dropped some typical Pampa genius and been responsible for a slick remix of Drake & Griffiths tech house stomper "The Devils Eye". Ethereal Sounds boss Anton Zap handpicks as the next contributer to the background series - which has previously housed our favourite ES release from Uncle Deep. Handed such a task, Rau excels, crafting two deep jackers that come wrapped in a multiplicity of warm sounds - "Onion Smell" contains the best sounding kick drum we've heard since Uncle Pepe dropped "Deep Burnt" way back! Check "Tooth Brush & Rain" for a more percussive treatise on the KDJ template too. Big tip!

Review: Anton Zap's Ethereal Sound imprint continues to impress on their fourth release, this classy 10 inch from fellow Russian Uncle Deep who obviously likes it deep. ''Deep Underground'' sees mellow keys syncing with burning chords and undulating syncopation. The moment where a female harmony rises briefly with soulful intent is a glorious touch. On the flip ''Get That Deep'' mixes KDJ style samples with hazy key smears and off kilter drums. Deep!
