Housey Doingz – A Sillybration II (2×12″)

Anyone with a real interest in tech house knows its roots lay in a small area of South London back in the nineties. Artists like Wiggle dons Terry Francis and Nathan Coles plus David Coker, Laurant Webb and Justin Bailey, all had their say in shaping the blueprint, and all of them are represented on this reissue of Sushitech's seminal Housey Doingz compilation. Across two parts, all the subtle variations are explored from dark and dubby to more acid and loose. This slab offers the menacing, low-key tech-funk of 'Cockney Doings', more jacked up drums and excessive synth lines of 'Brother In Bump' and the cosmic cool and late night serenity of 'Naff Off'. Do not kip on this one.
