"House is back. Of course this music has not really been away, but for a couple of years the genre has clearly added some creativity and joy of play. You can convince yourself by listening to Vera Heindel from Frankurt/Main, who has become famous as a producer, after being a DJ in numerous important European clubs for several years. After releasing on the labels Oslo and Cyclical Tracks, her first solo EP now appears on Cargo Edition. 'People's House' reflects the elegance and the funk of house music in its purest form, but without denying the influences of the current club music. 'My Little Disco' shows up with a similar affection. With a few concisely placed chords and samples, Vera puts a breeze of disco on the house dancefloor -- very restrained and without any cheesiness, but with a small wink. With the 'Shakeyourbootymix' the disco reminiscence of 'My Little Disco' becomes even more apparent and it makes the track perfect for building up an encouraging party at the same time. Finally, Rhadoo forms 'My Little Disco' from house to minimal. The young man from Bucharest is part of the successful Rumanian trio Arpiar -- together with Raresh and Petre 'Pedro' Inspirescu. With gracefully built sounds and an insistent bass line, he accentuates selected elements of the original in a new way. The house vibe remains latently noticeable."

"Over the last year a new generation of young and ambitious house producers from Frankfurt to Mannheim have caused quite a stir. Vera Heindel is part of the scene in the Rhine Main area, which is the new centre for innovative and modern house and techno tracks, and People's House, her first release on Cargo Edition at the end of 2008 received huge attention from critics and fans alike. This time around Vera dishes up four top-notch house tracks for us that demonstrate her unique way of producing using reduction and funk, the two constants of her music. 'Jump The Hump' concentrates on two things: a devastatingly simple bassline and a vocal sample which gives the track a lightness and an understatement which you will seldom find in house tracks. Miss Fitz, Vera's project partner in Mara Trax, heads more to the dancefloor with her remix, but without giving up the special character of Vera's style. The B-side continues to drive with a high dose of funk. A clear organ chord gives 'Ling' both playful and elegant moments and with the vocal sample and the easy-going beats it becomes a typical 'Vera- track.The final track on the EP, 'Hallimasch,' is especially catchy, with its melodic and complex style triggering positive feelings all around."
