Artists: AMB
Title: The Squirrel EP vol.2.
Genre: Minimal / House / BreakBeat
Label: Chi Recordings
CatNum: CHI015b


The first instalment of this double EP was released earlier this year, and very rapidly gained massive support by DJs and producers all over the place. Now AMB returns to complete the package with the second part and we bet it will be difficult to pick a favourite from the two. Three outstanding tracks, production is cheeky and the toppest notch. The bouncy 'Lutena' is a dance-floor focused pumping tech-house, 'Impatique' likewise, though with a more organic and warmer feel to it, and the smooth and laid-back breakbeat number 'Wisp' closes the EP. AMB at his best. Nice words and early support from: Stryke, Tom Baker, Kickflip, Nils Noa, Dark Globe, Murray Richardson, etc...

D.Ramirez: "Another stunning E.P from you guys. Love it!"
Danny Bonnici (NuBreed): "all 3 tracks are wicked.Nice work indeed!"
Habersham: "Another smoking release from Chi! As if it wasn't enough with The Squirrel part 1, you've gone and done it again! Impatique and Wisp are my faves here, Wisp harkening back to Urchin. Thanks for rocking me as always!"
Buckmaster De La Cruz (Gus Gus): "Impatique is the track for me. Tight in all aspects and i'll chart & play for sure."
Phil K: "awesome package!! all tracks are great and will be all getting lotsa action!! keep em coming!"
30Hz: "Really solid release.. great prouction form amb. Lutena is my favourite... not often I like happy dance music "
Smithmonger: "Really Like Lutena."
Janette Slack (Mixmag): "The AMB mix is really good. The fiddlesticks mix is sucha breath of fresh air. Awesome work!"
Chloe Harris: "Lutena is ace. what a great sound. really trippy but has a great kick to it. impatique - wicked break. really surprising sounds. wisp - jazzy acidy breaks. pretty lush."
Jimmy Mofo: "it's extremely well produced!"
Brian Ffar: "I loved the first release, and EP 2 is just as good. This release is SUPER funky and totally up my alley. i can't wait to play this on a big system. Impatique and Wisp are my favorites. It's nice to hear luscious and creative electro!"

Title: Amfuem
Genre: Minimal / TechHouse
Label: Chi Recordings
CatNum: CHI018

This release has been making quite a buzz for some time with*Phil K, Mylo, Hybrid, Laurent Garnier already indicating to share a very positive opinion. In fact, the FCB remix was also licensed to the Phil K compilation, "Hi Fi". Ben Riva's beautiful violin play spices up both tracks, coming in an excellently-crafted dub-delayed ambient fabric in the original, and a*rough and glitchy drive, equipped with a sneaky melodic hook in FCB's version.
More support already from the likes of Trickski, Dark Globe, Si Begg, Lisa Lashes, Riva Star, Luke Solomon, Karl Moestl, Slam, Habersham, Jean-Paul Bondy, Cass, Audio Soul Project, etc...

Title: Beaver Blink
Genre: House / TechHouse
Label: Chi Recordings
CatNum: CHI019

Huncut Hacuka has just made it to Simian Mobile Disco's FabricLive compilation, and here is its brother from Kevin: Beaver Blink. With the perfect dosage of heavy weight and melodic components, Fine Cut Bodies delivers this tasty bit of tech-house for the peak-time hours. On remix duties this time there is Classic man Luke Solomon and the mysterious Zodiac Cartel. ZC stay close to their statement here "We want to sing the love of danger, the habit of energy and rashness". Unfriendlier than the original, although viciously hides the melodic bits of it. Luke Solomon takes a more laid back but darker direction, perfectly mixing dubby and techy elements with a hint of old-skool Orb ambience. Nice words and support from: Dan F, Smithmonger, Lee Mortimer, Chloe Harris, Danny Bonnici, and for more read below...

Artists: AMB
Title: Pellet
Genre: Minimal / TechHouse / Techno
Label: Chi Recordings
CatNum: CHI020

Another fun, tech-house number by AMB with not a hint of Nathan Fake-esque vibe although with carefully measured ingredients of heavily side-chained melodies and beats. Uplifting and fresh as a cold shower of rain on a hot summer day. Phil K and Habersham teams up to bring to life the Anomallies, which delivers an expertly crafted piece of re-work with an amazing attention to detail and production. Irregular, funky, and sexy. Also appearing on the remix duties is Dan F and his deadly assassin bunnies who go AWOL and cause significant damage to whatever comes their way. Being one of the most innovative producers out there at the moment, Dan F stays true to his reputation with this pleasantly dirty remix. Nice words and support comes from Ed2000, Vela, Hybrid, Slam, Mistress De Funk, Phonogenic, Mutiny, Chris Fortier, Hernan Cattaneo, Murray Richardson, Hynotech, etc...

Jelo: "Dan F. Killer Bunnies Rmx. is ill "
James Zabiela: "great stuff. Dan F's mix has gnarly bass!"
Deepgroove: "Sound like a winner - big love from us "
Sasha: "Pellet orig is ace"
Jeff Samuel: "phil k remix is cool, thanks!"
Someone Else: "i love Pellet (Phil K + Habersham rmx). amazing!"
Nick Warren: "wickedness , loving P&H remix"
Alex Parsons: "Wow... Phil K & Habersham's mix!!!! Will play this everywhere. Like the Original too. Thanks!"
Kraymon: "I THINK the Dan F one is doing it for me the most but I will have to digest them some more. As always Chi doing the fat-core business on the machines of audio delight."
Trevor Loveys: "nice deep house music,feeling this."
Danny Bonnici: "Awesome release!"
Chris Udoh: "Dope tracks guys."
Brian Ffar: "I really like the Phil K and Habersham remix. Very cool tune - creative with a very solid groove. Can't wait to play it out!"
Dov: "More minimal, tech, glitched out goodness from Chi."
Matt Flores: "realy diggin the dan f mix, wicked bassline and arrange!"
Anthony Pappa: "Nice track. l will play this out. l also like the Phil K & Habersham Remix."
Laurent Garnier: "i like the original as well as Dan F killer remix will play this for sure!"
Dopamine: "lovely music! feeling all the mixes. great production all round "
Marvin: "Hát le a kalappal. Ujra a massziv a Chi! Original és DanF remix tánparkett rengetö, Phil K + Habersham meg a betegeknek, jól! Genial!"
Karl Moestl: "yes - i like theses new ways of electronic music!"
Phil Martinez: "Fantastic remix package. Phil K + Habersham and Dan F remixes will get serious playtime."
Dan Mangan: "stunning remixes. 10/10."
Grasshop: "Shocking reverie, eye vibrating rinse! Amb supplies a squirmish travelogue through his lunatic mind, which can be frightening or revealing, depending on the character of the listener. Besides the original one, Dan F comes closer to my ears. Nice pull, a bit more schizo, okay that's trendy now. The drilling bass is the only thing that reminds me of his glorious touch. Being one of my fave producers, Habersham is a disappointment here. Well beaten trademark sounds, too much of the claustrophobic feel, adding nothing more to the original."
