Home Audio Recordings follow up their previous critically acclaimed releases from Refinery and Giovanni Damico with Belgium’s underground house maestro Peckos and his ‘Old Boy EP’. Four tracks of absorbing deeper house and tech grooves well suited to the darker dance floors. From the grinding ‘Old Boy’ and is bouncy ‘Dub’ version to ‘No Kid’ and ‘Swallow’ the EP shapes up with the accomplished sound that has made Home Audio one to follow. ‘Old Boy’ EP will be released on both vinyl and digital formats.
Peckos (aka Sven van Coillie) began his love affair with music back in 2001 and having dabbled with techno, electro and commercial dance he has made a name for himself since 2005 with his deep and funky house tunes on labels such as Lost My Dog, Guess Who, Shak Digital and more. His tracks have been remixed by the likes of Raoul Belmans and Tommy Largo, and supported by well-known names such as Mark Farina, DJ Sneak, Laurent Garnier, Lovebirds, and JT Donaldson. His own remix discography includes working with Bernard Jones, Jay West, D-T3ch and Danny Stott.
Home Audio is the label of Chicago and house stalwart Angel Alanis who also operates Slap Jazz, A Squared and works alongside DJ Pierre on his Afro Acid label. Whilst the label is still new, Angel’s own work extends back several years and featured on labels such as Uniform, Baker Street, Thoughtless, Headtunes, Dust Traxx and many more. Watch out for Pao & MainRo coming soon on Home Audio Recordings with Sensou, Greencross and Mr Goetz remixes.

Surround Sounds have been quietly building a rep with several strong selling releases from The Revenge, Hot Toddy and Joey Negro. Next up is “Break My Heart” featuring the vocals of Seattle based Neo soul star Choklate. The chunky mid tempo backing track to “Break My Heart” cheekily recreates the squelchy keyboard riff from the Wham classic “Everything She Wants”, which obviously gives some instant familiarity but “Break…” adds a completely new song featuring Choklate’s delightful vocal harmonies. The Extended Mix keeps the soulful vibe fully in tact while the Special Dubbb makes use of a heavyweight bassline and other key riffs for version that builds and drops beautifully to end with a vocal climax. For a more instantly playable peak time dance floor version head for the Kola Kube NY House Mix. A trendy proto house drum groove complete with echoing handclaps sits beneath classic boogie synths and an ultra catchy bassline. That Wham riff is teased in and when it finally drops it drops its quite a moment – and likely to get the odd hand in the air this summer. Think of an unreleased Shep Pettibone dub of Wham or even Tensnake and you get the idea. Last up are hot Berlin based production duo Session Victim. The guys are on a roll with releases like their excellent Million Dollar Feeling on Delusions of Grandeur last year. For their mix the musical direction is pure underground house with warm chords and Detroit style bass. Sure to appeal to fans of the more musical end of deep house.
