Bugs is Aus Music label owner Will Saul's first solo EP since 2014 and follows his inaugural release on new Aus Music compilation series, Inside Out. Here's Will: "'Bugs' is inspired as much by dancing at Plastic People/Co-Op to the Bugz In The Attic as is it is by Carl Craig's Innerzone Orchestra track 'Bugs In The Bass Bin'. Hopefully I bring my own twist to these key influences... 'The Map Room' tumbles with big, swinging drums as a fervid sense of tension burns throughout before Matt Karmill takes 'Bugs' off on a linear dubbed-out excursion..."

EP#2 carries forth much of the same classiness Tee Mango's well known for. "Come A Little Closer" samples "Make It Last Forever" by Inner Life which is paired with playful drum rhythms and smooth Rhodes chords. Prototypical opts for punchy drums and a swinging bass, a track that would work as well peak-time as it would warming up. "Wazoo" is a deep cruiser with a pinch of acid.

Marquis Hawkes presents two takes on one concept. "Part 1" takes his amalgam of disco and house to its logical conclusion, perfectly walking the tightrope between joyous abandon and classy depth, and giving DJs the perfect weapon for all floors, from sweaty basements to much bigger venue. "Part 2" then flips the program with the same raw materials and sets up the perfect shot, directed at a big-room house-techno crossover and building on the foundations laid by the Detroit techno originators by infusing contemporary production values and a more modern twist.

Fallen Down EP is the second EP from Tee Mango and Will Saul's Primitive Trust project, featuring a remix by Shanti Celeste. The title track weaves percussive shuffles and vocal refrains with glowing synths, whilst colorful melodic layers and resonating vocal stabs armor the choppy live drums of "Day One". Dekmantel regular Shanti Celeste does what she does best with her remix of "Fallen Down" in building a rich, hypnotic groove that steadily develops with intricacy and depth, whilst "Big Tracky Disco Tool" is exactly that.

Primitive Trust is the coming together of two experienced musical minds: Will Saul of the influential Aus Music empire and Tom Mangan, aka Tee Mango, the producer who started Millionhands record and clothing label. Their sessions have resulted in a series of three EPs that will be released over four months. Using the building blocks of house and classic techno, Primitive Trust can do zoned-out and romantic as much as driving and heady. They mix samples, wigged-out synth work, and propulsive rhythms to create something honest and heartfelt. Skarbard provides a remix of "Power On".

Marquis Hawkes makes his return to Aus Music in the form of a blazing, floor-focused two-track EP. The Basement Is Burning takes its name from a near-fateful experience stemming from an electrical fire in Hawkes's home which culminated in him and his family being evacuated from a fifth floor balcony. The title track kicks off with splashy, live drum samples that are armored with electronic layers before a feel-good piano lick glides into the mix. "Tower Block Boogie" then tumbles short funk samples through bold drums as a fervid sense of tension burns throughout.

Will Saul and Komon line up "Harmonise", a smoldering single that comes backed up with an almighty pair of remixes from Nick Höppner and Juju & Jordash. The title track kicks things off with glowing, interweaved synths and a pattering tom line. Vocal snippets and trippy delays suffuse a purposeful bass tone before the "101 Dub" version rolls out with punchy drums and a sharp, darting acid line. Nick Höppner's remix builds a rich, hypnotic groove that steadily develops with intricacy and depth. Juju & Jordash then drive a warped, rumbling synth line through spacey atmospherics rounding off the EP.

Aus Music present a disco-tinged 12" courtesy of Millionhands head honcho Tee Mango. Having so far almost exclusively released on Millionhands alone, Tee Mango makes a rare appearance outside of his home turf and in doing so follows on from his acclaimed Imperfections Vol.1 LP (2016). His EP#1 for Aus Music carries forth the sense of raw, sample heavy soul that was the real spark of Imperfections Vol.1, while maintaining a feel for the needs of the dancefloor. Loose, natural drums, deftly chopped samples and hazy synth lines keep it moody.

Shenoda presents his third release for Aus Music, Burn, backed with a remix from Juxta Position. Previous releases on Hypercolour and Electric Minds have seen Shenoda firmly on the ascent, but it's in his recent outings on Aus Music that his bold, rugged club music has really reached its zenith. "Burn" follows suit with its predecessors with its power being rooted in seismic, analog drums that are balanced against soft, allaying melodies. "Vista" then rolls out punching stabs and tight, shuffling drums before Marquis Hawkes dusts off his Juxta Position alias and delivers a pacey and forthright take on "Burn".

After making a sunny debut on Aus Music back in May 2016 (AUS 1697EP), Brooklyn based luminary Recloose readies his second 12" for the label and enlists the help of Mara TK (Electric Wire Hustle), Ezrakh, and Son Of Sound (House 2 House, Strictly Rhythm). His Spirit Knows EP adds to a catalogue of more than 20 years - one that's touched the likes of Planet E, Rush Hour, and Peacefrog and in a similar vein to Honey Rocks - his latest offering comprises three eloquent cuts of house music and carries with it a balmy sense of soul.

Aus Music present another solo EP from label mainstay Marquis Hawkes. The Berlin based artist's previous work has comprised fun, sample-heavy tracks designed with nothing but the dancefloor in mind. Sweet Temptation expands on this bringing melody, rhythm, and chords to the foreground. Jubilant, powerful vocal lines and stony drums are the core ingredients and their melding results in a collection of four tracks of varying moods and intensities. While "Burning Light" and "Sweet Temptation" pack a certain big-room punch, "Eivissa" and "Zapper Bluesky" carry depth and soul in a manner that recalls a classic and cherished Hawkes sound.

Aus Music kick inaugurate 2017, welcoming in Catz 'N Dogz for three interpretations of tracks cherry-picked from Aus Music's vast back catalog - all given a rough, smoky treatment from the PETS Recordings owners. Kicking things off is the remix of Geeman's "Wanna Go Bang" which sees a driving and percussive reworking. Bicep's "The Game" involves soft, overlapping chords propelled by snapping drums and multiple melodic lines that build an allaying palette. The remix of George Fitzgerald's "Hindsight" caps things off as more frazzled drums propel a stuttering vocal line and a warped synth pattern.

The Houndstooth and XL Recordings regular continues to refine the emotionally charged drama of his recent work and in doing so, enhances his constantly evolving catalog with a continuation of the recent Heaven And Earth EP on Aus (AUS 103EP, 2016). The Father, Son & Holy Ghost EP sees Woolford propel heart-wrenching melodies with thunderous drums in a manner that only few are capable of. Progressing with resolute intent, the package includes two club-ready cuts and the beatless, string-laden "Son".

Another solid three track EP from Huxley who enlists the help of Chicago legend Roy Davis Jr. Rag & Bone EP kicks off with "Do You Feel Me" - a track that sees Roy Davis Jr. and Huxley meld moody synths with a tough, rattling low-end. A striking vocal runs over subtle flecks of acid and bending melodies making for a pensive trip before "Weapon" dials Carl Craig-esque tension with rough, tribal drums and razor sharp sweeps. The dub of "Weapon" then mellows the tone of the original.

Eve's Seven EP is a deep and dreamy three tracker that comes with a remix from Recloose. "Bloom" sets arresting riffs circling through rich textures that thicken and thin to startling effect. "Eve's Seven" follows up with dusty drum samples and bold melodies before the Brooklyn native offers up a sunny take on "Eve's Seven" - sweeping filters and a short, driving bass line propel a highly energetic but playful rework primed for brimful dancefloors.

Long term friend of Aus Music Marquis Hawkes presents Doornroosje. Hot on the heels of his recent LP Social Housing (HTH 058CD/LP, 2016) - the Berlin based artist lines up Doornroosje, a tight a two-tracker that remains consistent with his output on Aus: dancefloor-focused jams suffused with simplicity and soul. "Discopuss" kicks things off with a potent combination of samples and hardware as sassy funk samples are propelled by tough crunching drums. The title track follows up with piano stabs and busy, percolating synth lines driven at a pace-y rate to rapturous effect.
