Paris-based Tolga Fidan drops this mini-album on home label Vakant, journeying smoothly through his various styles. Featuring guests dOP's Jaw, his brother Atilla and Jonny Cruz, his tactile and sexy yet heady and experimental take on deep house makes for very addictive listening. Don't miss it.

Berlin-based Argentinian Nico Purman releases his latest EP on Vacant, following on from the stunning 'All That Glitters Ain't Gold' last year. With a luscious disco flavour, he touches on Chicago and New York house throughout the four tracks, bouncing electro bass and smooth cosmic synths making for a spectacular ride.

Mathias Kaden's 'Studio 10' album spawns a third batch of remixes, with Onur Özer taking the lead, stripping bare Kaden's hit 'Chazz' down to its brittle exoskeleton across his 11-minute mix. Berlin's DeWalta takes on 'Ikenga' on two distinct versions, one percussive, the other bouncy and melodic. Recommended.

DJ Koze and Spain's Affkt remix two tracks off Mathias Kaden's 'Studio 10' album: Kosi-san's remix of 'Kawaba' is a super-atmospheric dance floor monster - deep and hypnotic and perfect for early sets. Affkt's take on 'Mascieta' is a more percussive affair with a massive break-down.

Jena's Mathias Kaden nailed it with his recent debut album 'Studio 10': Twelve modern house music tracks, alternating between minimalistic, dub-ladden and jazzy sounds. Featuring Ian Simmonds on vox and Wareika's Florian Schirmacher, this album is something both for the floor and the home stereo.
