Roman Lindau's Contraste EP does just as the title suggests. On one hand you have Crasse the pulverizing dancefloor behemoth, then you have Lyrica a more involving and restrained production. Outstanding work from Lindau on both counts. Contraste is out on Mike Dehnert's Fachwerk label. Dehnert's latest album 'Framework' incidentally has just dropped on Delsin and is also well worth checking out.

Robsoul has just put out a Tribute EP containing four of Gemini's 90's Chicago House hits handpicked by label boss Phil Weeks who describes the release as "a real gift for the new generation who don’t know this Chicago master. Gemini is a genius!”.

This track missed the cut on last years A Synthetic History Of E.M.A.K. 1982-88 but Soul Jazz have righted this wrong with a new 12" of E.M.A.K material.
