Absolutely.
Portable - Life Magically Is
It's always hard to get my hands on a Perlon release. For starters, it's a vinyl-only label. Well, that's mostly it. But here we have a vocal-based techno cut that builds a track around the vocal line. A drugged-out vacuous pad whooshes and spirals around the sinister voice as it goes on and on, slowly, powerfully, deeply. The vocal line was clearly not an afterthought, as everything from the hypnotic, near-dissonant bell synth, muscular bassline, and twisted metallic toms works underneath the voice, as if it's controlling all movement and change within the track. It's a journey, to say the least. A masterwork of mood and method from one of Perlon's elite.

H.O.S.H. - Cash The Chord
The most recent single from the Diynamic camp is a buoyant, bubbly little tech house cut that features a tense, spastic percussion section underpinning a typically groovy rhythm and a somehow not-annoying piano riff. Laid-back and almost jazzy, it fits the mood and groove to a tee. There's even a lite-string section thrown in for good measure. Plenty of bounce, plenty of groove, easy to mix in and out of, not much more you could ask for from H.O.S.H.

DJ Falcon & Thomas Bangalter do Call On Me in a big way
This sort of speaks for itself. "Call On Me" morphed into a shimmering, nine-minute summer hands-in-the-air epic that goes for elation over pounding bass. Absolutely in love with this. If you weren't tired of this song before, this won't change any minds. But it might bop some heads.

Call it an evening. Enjoy, friends.
