The mysterious Black Fan is back! After his releases on Local Talk and Quintessentials, Black Fan is for sure one to watch in 2024. I Know -- I Am is his most mature work to date and shows his love for house and techno when it started. Black Fan has his roots in the good old rave and early house days and has many stories to tell. He was DJing at places like The Dance Factory, The Eclipse, Tolerance, plus more times at the now legendary Energy parties than he cares to remember, and has kept in love with house and techno ever since. Be ready for "I Know -- I Am," a proper New York/New Jersey styled house tune, or "Deep Rotation" and "TE2" -- raw, deep and Detrot-ish with a touch of UK techno.

All The Colours was a concept that came about from Andy Ash bringing together his music and visual art in an attempt to try and identify the common ground between the two. In both mediums, Andy attempts to convey the full range of human identity -- at first you see and hear euphoria and playfulness, but look a little closer and you will also notice anger, sadness and tension. On this album, Andy approaches house music as the vehicle to convey many different feelings. These tracks are designed to be played on the dancefloor and bring people together -- this is what house music has always been about! The whole album was made over a two-year period in Andy's home studio using a mixture of analog hardware and samples. During this period, Andy was suffering with some significant mental health problems and this album represents his attempts to channel this energy into something productive. This is also the first time Andy has worked with vocalists, bringing a new dimension to his music. Whether it is the old school inspired "The Sound" which features vocalist Erik Rico, or the deep and moody "I'm Here" featuring Liverpool vocalist Amber Kuti, this album brings many different shades of house music to the table. Also features Faber and Nexus Techne.

Quintessentials announce Detroit legend, Alton Miller. Alton needs no introduction. A classy producer for decades, the label received some essentials for his new EP -- Essentials Ya Dig EP. The main track "Where U R" is a deep, emotional and jazzy clubber, just right for some hot summer club action. The flip side offers again top quality with "Hard To Lose", which is pure Detroit magic and "Give It Up", a track that originally has been released in 2010 and now gets a deep soulful jazzy remix from Boddhi Satva. Essentials ya dig, indeed! And yes, there's fantastic artwork by Giza One too!

After well-received releases on Shadeleaf, Dead Horse and Hot Peas And Butter last year, Preston's finest soul brother Simba comes through Quintessentials with the Box Room Perspective EP. Leading the way is "Can You Free Me?" featuring the beautiful vocals of Maddie Ellerby taking a distinct soulful flex a la Kerri Chandler. The dub takes things a little deeper for the heads, stripping back to the essentials much like a Matthew Herbert dub. On the flip is "True," which has been described as '90s Planet E meets Broken Beat, an excursion between the lines of house, disco, and techno. It's hot up north!

Time for another new face on Quintessentials: Goshawk! Been around with different projects for ages, this East Midlands lad has always been one of the finest exponents of eccentric deep house. Releasing tons of quality music on labels like Hudd Traxx, Boogie Café, DiY Discs, or his co-owned Pressed for Time and Atjazz forthcoming, Quintessentials simply couldn't resist signing Goshawk. The Strictly Bungalow EP offers classic house music and 110 slowdown tunes and is full of fun and vibes, rough yet smooth! "Never Let Me Go" is an uplifting, sexy vocal track, "Why I Sing" is one of two slowdown tunes with a nice dosage of funk, "All I Have To Give" is a rather dark club banger and "Time Is Just A Loop" is a minimalistic slowish chugger. Yes, strictly bungalow!

Sans Rouge EP is a return to Greymatter's sampling roots reminiscent of his early works on WOLF Music. A record that sits half way between house and hip-hop, in terms of style and tempo. "Sans Rouge" epitomizes that mood: starting out with a hip-hop groove that drops into a beat-down house chugger. "Royale" drops things down to an even slower motion with another tough beat down groove, chopped and driven key samples, and a catchy vocal chop. "Move Slow" has its first proper release. "Billy O" finishes things off with a slamming, choppy club jam laden with strings and vocals.

Señor Gordon is back on Quintessentials. Colombia's number 1 when it comes to freaky house music delivers the goods again. Felipe Gordon has this incredible talent to mix so many different sounds and samples to create his unique style. Funky pianos (or maybe, sick ass chords!), wobbling basslines, jazzy samples, disco, and funk influences all combined together to make the "Felipe Gordon house sound". Sometimes more punchy, like "sick ass chords" and "the quint garage", sometimes more relaxed like "Girl, u don't know?" and "for those who?", but you just hear it's FG from B in C!

Quintessentials has a long history in putting out those nice little compilations. Enjoy Your Cuppa Vol. 1 starts with four new and refreshing faces on Quintessentials. Marc Bianco is no newcomer; his "Wet Scott" is a smooth yet freaky tune with tight beats. Effgee's "Feels Like Ding" is his first track ever released. Italian air man Wearing Shoes is quite new to the scene. For Quintessentials, he teams up with Javonntte -- proper house music guaranteed! Roy Vision goes deep and dusty, with lovely Rhodes and snares!

Following on from the positive feedback for KRL's Third EP (QUINTESSE 062EP, 2018), Quintessentials had to give the standout track "Never Leave" the remix treatment. "Never Leave" is a straight up house track with those beats and rhythmic synths, but the outstanding vocals of Janine Small make it a head turner. The A-side remix, courtesy of Greymatter keeps the overall vibe of the original, but adds more dirt and bass business ready for club action. The B-side remix courtesy of Loz Goddard takes a step into deep broken beat territory while keeping the beautiful vocals.

Deep, raw, and real. Then NY*AK is the man! Andrew Scott has been releasing bottom-heavy, deep house groovers for many years on various top labels. Now it's time for Quintessentials. "After The Sun" is a deep, minimalistic and sexy groover featuring Franc Syx, and "Mind", a blissful and rich low-BPM tune for an early morning come down. "Vice" is a proper Detroit track -- bassline, strings, rims and snares -- and the funky and mellow "Onions" features Mark Hand.

After a remix and a compilation track for Quintessentials, Third is the third time that KRL appears on the label; it's also his third full EP. This EP is a mixture of two older ideas started in 2014 and two completely new tracks playing on a mixture of samples and field-recorded sounds. "Third" is multi- style: it's got proper house energy, with "Never Leave", a track that features the beautiful voice of Janine Small. It's got rough deepness with "Rhodes To Nowhere". It's got a bit of beat madness with "Confession Beat". And it's got sublime, fragile electronics with "Glacier".

A warm welcome to Detroit producer Javonntte for his first Quintessentials release. How Is Club246 is an homage to a club in Detroit in 1996. And Javonntte's interpretation of "Club246" is diverse. The opening track has a slight Kerri Chandler flair, whereas "Club246" is a pure pumping club tool for all you DJs out there. The B side goes deeper. "Worldmix" is a slow, deep (hell yeah), and hip hop-ish low-bpm groover, whereas "Citylights" is a classic vocal deep house track. Club246... Proper house music... all night long.

Based in Colombia's capital, Bogotá, Felipe Gordon's sound is testimony that both challenges and reinvigorates the burgeoning Colombian house movement. His statement is built of resonances inspired by other decades, Bogotá, cold, streets, and messy youth. It's not surprising when you hear pianos and classic acid house lines paired with jazz samples and funky bass lines. His ability to mix complex sounds into club music has made Gordon into a renowned and prolific producer.

Quintessentials offer a slice of South American music from Soul Of Hex. Hailing from Tijuana, Soul Of Hex (Sebastien Vorhaus) has a rich, nuanced, and grainy style with an authenticity that's closer in sound to vintage Detroit or New York pastures, despite his Mexican heritage. Busy DJing, producing, and running his own label Vicario LTD, Soul Of Hex is a driving force in the Mexican scene. Helipop EP offers different styles, like a downbeat intro, a deep bass-y rough house cut ("Helipop"), plus two back to old-school rave/warehouse tunes not afraid to use uplifting pianos, catchy vocals, and deep basslines.

Following a number of exciting tunes released on the renowned label Quintessentials, here comes Mat Chiavaroli's first long-player, No Stranger To Madness. Warm Fostex tape hisses and MPC swings, the guy from the Pescara hills delivers ten tracks for both your dancing and listening pleasure. The A and B side tracks are drenched in dusty funk samples, gritty chords, and syncopated rhythms. In "Aroma De Mi Vida", Mat chops obscure Rhodes riffs and layers them with more elements, just like in "Whoja Vu", a heavy-sampled disco juggler very close to his previous Quintessentials release (QUINTESSE 046EP, 2016). On the flip, we find some deep chords melting with powerful gospel vocals, giving life to a track that annihilates boring dancefloors. There's a similar vibe in "Jeep Ridaz" that reminisces about seminal Atavisme classics, with broken detuned bits and agitated cut-and-pastes that give a sense of randomness. The second part of this album shows Mat Chiavaroli's deeper side. "Double Pain" is a tune that progressively brings you many aspects of what Mat loves; saturated female vocals stick out while gloomy chords gently develop. "Storia Losca" has a slightly different attitude with a huge synth presence, live percussion, and dreamy pianos. The D side opens with "The Quiet Bobobo", a distorted floor delight and ends with something closer to Mat's early music, disclosing a fresh collaboration with the young studio fellow P Lok. No Stranger To Madness fits many bills and is an impressive proof of what Mat's musical ability is.

Originally released on Gentlemen Cuts (Vol. 2) (QUINTESSE 050EP, 2016) and making rather big waves, "Grooff Machine" from Ponty Mython gets the remix treatment for some more dope grooffs! Chicago hotshot Chrissy (The Nite Owl Diner, Classic, Razor N' Tape) puts disco and acid in and offers a great clubby all-time classic. Ponty himself fuses lots of house, disco, funk, and 808 so that you can grooff to the max. And Soul of Hex (Vicario Ltd, Freerange) keeps it dark and loopy before adding some splendid riffs.

Loz Goddard is back with this four-tracker of slightly deeper and more synth-driven cuts than would be expected from the man. "Slap Dancer" sets the tone with punchy drum and sample hits, easily the most club oriented of the bunch. "Duplicity" sees Loz back on that slightly funkier sound, but with a little added dustiness. "Flavour" adds a little extra sprinkling of dust with its rolling drums and chords - proper chillin' basement tackle. "Sunset Vista" is a slow, machine-driven and synthed-out acid jam.
