The title track of this 2-track EP from Climax Digital newcomer Micra bearing the name "Milte's Guitar" is a jazzy, deep house tune featuring the beautiful, original vocals of Katka over soothing organ chords and a live bassline. On the flipside is "Chill For Hamster" which combines Micra's trademark keys with strings and a cheeky flute line. With work of this musical quality, we predict big things for Micra

Following on from his recently released track on Climax Digital entitled "Eclipse", Smoke (CZ) is back on the label with a brand new 2-track EP. "Galaxy" is a fittingly out of this world piece of music containing shimmering and soaring synths and a deep, deep bassline. The title track "Delight" is a more driving affair with dramatic stabs and arpeggiators along with a synthesizer melody that is sure to sound astonishing on a big sound system.

Label boss Chris Sadler has been using his time in lockdown predominantly getting to grips with the latest addition to his studio - namely a Roland TB303 clone. It was therefore only a matter of time before he produced his first acid track. This is a beast of tune with layers of percussion, plenty of snare rolls, sampled news broadcasts from the early nineties and, of course, lots of squelchy acid.

Whilst new to Climax Digital, DJ and producer from Southern Moravia Ian Kita is no newcomer to the scene having started behind the decks in 1998 and in the studio in 2001. Colorful Zebra is stripped down intelligent techno with crisp percussion, a driving bassline and simple but effective synth sounds to make a track that together is so much more than its constituent parts.

The feel-good, retro-disco tune "Let's Make Love" from Spiriakos gets the remix treatment with reworkings from San Lucas, Miquel, Funkisma and Chris Sadler. The San Lucas remix keeps the disco vibe and adds a super-funky bassline. Miquel darkens things somewhat with a hard-edged techno version which contrasts with elements from Spiriakos' original. Climax Digital newcomer Funkisma shows he's a name to watch with a deep house rework complete with euphoric keys in the break. Completing the package is label boss Chris Sadler with a positive house remix built around a jazzy horn sample.

Combining melodic synths and soaring strings, Smoke (CZ) is back with a powerful, atmospheric and emotional progressive house track.
