RUSH HOUR SHOP TOP TIP

.
Here are some of the highlights of what we have in store for you this week.

First up is Suzanne Kraft’s new album for Melody as Truth, a selection of lazy, hazy and gazey pop songs that have ‘summer’ written all over them. Sweet stuff for sunkissed mornings and long hot summer nights.

Up next is a double dose of zouk goodness in the form of two beauties by Jean-Paul Pognon and David et Corine edited by Mendel and JGS Fyraften respectively. One per customer, limited supply!

Toast’s ‘It’s Just an Illusion’ is one of the sweetest slow-to-mid boogie jams we’ve heard in a long time and a big Rush Hour crew favorite by now. Check!

Another store fave is Mark Seven’s hot new ‘Parkwerks Volume 2’, four tracks of timeless New-York-To-Chicago boogie house bumpers for Parkway.

‘Planet Love: Early Transmissions 1990-95’ is a new compilation on Safe Trip that harks back to times before trance became a bad word with an impeccable selection of must-haves, slept-on gems and sought-after rarities.

Nyssa Musique’s 1985 album ‘Comme Au Moulin’ is something special - a meeting on the crossroads of minimal music, gentle jazz, ambient and Fourth World music that will appeal both to spiritual jazz lovers and ambient aficionados. Fantastic stuff!

Check out the Patrick Adams co-produced ‘Let Me Do You Baby’ by Wet Silk, backed by two other obscure early house-not-house jams on Mixed Signals.

Palms Trax kicks off his new CWPT imprint with ‘Petu’ that features South-African vocalist Nonku Phiri and comes with a dancefloor-heavy Masalo remix.

Early Chicago pioneer Gene Hunt is back with a bang on Contrafact, presenting a three track EP that varies from sweet Chicago stuff to solid jack tracks. 

Last but most certainly not least is Krikor’s hot little seven on Harajuku’s Big Love Records, a sweet amalgam of tough synthwave and Sylvian-and-Sakamoto-style Japanese-inspired esoteric pop.
