Cinthie launches her new imprint 803 Crystal Grooves Collective Cuts this December with a various artists release featuring S3A, 9th House, Kettama, and Asquith. Berlin's Cinthie launched her 803 Crystal Grooves imprint in 2018 and marked a new chapter for her own productions, gaining widespread recognition across the globe for her take on raw house, techno, and disco. Now 2019 sees the label branch out off the back of its success with a sub-label entitled 803 Crystal Grooves Collective Cuts, as the name would suggest, a home for music from the friends and likeminded artists of the label founder.

Cinthie's 803 CrystalGrooves returns with a four-track of raw and emotive house music. "Australian Summer" opens the package, a Balearic-tinged house cut featuring sun-drenched pad melodies, bubbling arpeggios, and choppy bass stabs alongside organic drums. "Infinity" follows next with bright chord sequences and crisp 909 drums. "This Bomb Is Mine" takes a more disco-tinged approach this time with filtered string loops, billowing vocal murmurs, and shuffled drums before "Rave Like No One Is Watching" then completes the package, as the name would suggest a high-octane workout designed for the peak-time with gritty rave stabs, penetrating drums, and resonant acid licks.

Berlin native Cinthie returns with the second release on her fledgling 803 Crystalgrooves imprint. "Push It" leads with a stripped-back drum groove made up of a crunchy clap, sharp hats, and a weight kick. "The Worm" follows, this time featuring a high-octane drum workout, subtly unfolding synth flutters, and an underlying low-end drive. "Boomboomroundtheroom" employs dusty drums, frenzied synth stabs, and gritty bass chops, a cut harkening back to '90s Chicago. "Peep Peep" is made of vacillating resonant bleeps, bumpy shuffled drums, and a dynamically evolving structure.

Beste Modus, we_r_house, and Unison Wax co-founder Cinthie launches her new imprint Crystalgrooves with three raw house cuts. Leading on the package is the anthemic heavy hitter "Together", a heady house groove fueled by a filtered, funk-infused bass line, bright organ chords and bumpy 909 drums, the result is an emotive slice of peak-time house. "Ada Lovelace" tips the focus over to dusty, swinging drum sounds and an amalgamation of choppy disco string and vocal samples. "No Need To Worry" rounds out the package with murky bass tones, wandering stab sequences, and stripped-back shuffled percussion.
