Various Artists

Debut 12" on Dublin's Fluff Records, and it's a strong opener. Four cuts that sit somewhere between moody and chunky, courtesy of Uncle Steve, Wilba, Brennan, Lukey and Joolmad. This is house music with weight to it - the kind of record that feels equally at home in a basement or a living room at 3am.

Fluff Records arrives with proper intent. Rather than chase trends, these tracks trade in solid groove fundamentals and the kind of atmospheric depth that rewards repeated listens. Tech house with texture, not flash. Dublin's always had its own lane when it comes to house music, and this debut suggests the label understands that inheritance well enough not to lean on it carelessly.

Worth investigating if you're after records that prioritise feel over formula.
