Heroes For Hire: 'Colours'

URTR008
Released: 4th November 2002

Heroes For Hire are back with the follow up to 'Our House Music', the tune that Deep Dish caned in Miami. Colours in its original form takes a deep, key filled, trippy journey thru house, giving it that all important late nite vibe. The Red, Black & Green Mix by the boys ( Dan Carey & Colin Cogz White ) takes Colours in to more peak time territory, stripped down and hypnotic as fuck, this makes for a great tool for those long mixes! The boys are for hire for wedding's, barmitzvah's, and birthday's if any one is interested..?

The Diogenes Club: 'Music For The Soul EP'

URTR007
Released: 16th September 2002

'I am trying to make nice convincing dance music in a world of misery, poverty and conflict. I am also saving up for a BMX with 24" wheels'. The words of Matthew 'Dob' Williams there, the man behind this great 4 track EP. This is his first effort in the musical arena for Dob, two slices of deep funk coupled with two deep techy things!?? Indeed...erm...that's it really, we like em, hope you do to, we think we have uncovered a new gem with a different take on the house music blueprint.

The 6th Urbantorque release sees a welcome return for Mancunian Lee Stanley, operating under his 'Dealer's Choice' moniker this time round.

Lee has only gone under the Dealers Choice hat on one prior occasion - an outing on Paper recordings. The addition of Azeem, the celebrated vocalist who has worked with Terry Francis and Grand Central's Only Child, amongst many others - ups the ante further still.

Justin Chodzko: 'Muttonhoney / TRAD'

URTR005
Released: 1st July 2002

'I am trying to make very traditional melodic deep house, but it seems to get stretched slightly out of shape by the other stuff I'm in to..." - Justin Chodzko. With tastes in music that covers The Beach Boys to T-Rex, Cocteau Twins to David Alvarado, Justin Chodzko is just interested in making music and not simply making records. His first release 'The Inheritance EP' on Weekend World in 2000 drew DJ Magazine to review, 'If this record was any deeper it would be lying horizontal in a bath of chocolate custard' and Elliot Eastwick to comment, 'Justin is Harrow's answer to Larry Heard'. Muttonhoney/TRAD is Justin's debut release for Urbantorque.
