Diego Moreno delivers a 4 track EP for SexOnWax, filled with dark, funky baselines, dirty vocals, sharp knife acid stabs and west coast style pads. Superbly illustrating his various musical influences on this EP, each track has its own personality, all rooted in the old school whilst forging forward with a fresh deep house. These 4 tracks are bound to turn heads and twist minds on any day or night dance floor. Diego shows clearly with this release that variety is key, and as such with this EP and a full length coming in 2014, will no doubt once again cement himself as a very real voice in the global house music conversation....

Conceived originally as a moniker for movie soundtracks, by fusing the Portuguese words for ‘house’ and ‘new’, Casanova is an alternative musical output for Mindskap and this release on SexOnWax Recordings is a dream 10 years in the making… Inspired by such classics as ‘Driving To Heaven’ by label boss Omid 16B, this talented producer has several releases under his belt and continues to innovate with a haunting, evolving, almost tribal take on the current house sound. An incessant, engrossing hook leads ever-forward to a deep melodic denouement, whilst Omid on remix duties adds his unique sound to the release – with additional tracks functioning as DJ tools as well as in their own right, this is a well-thought-out and intriguing package that must be heard....

Originally released in 2001 ‘I Wish You Were Here’ featured a remix from Omid 16B, and both the original and remix went onto slay countless dance floors the world over, time and time again. Twelve years on and ‘I Wish You Were Here’ now gets a timely re-release complete with news mixes from MINDSKAP, Beat Factory, Mi Ke, Lonya & Roi Okev and an updated mix from Omid himself. http://www.beatport.com/release/i-wish-you-were-here-remixes/1113012

SexOnWax’s next release sees Changing Shape return with this stunning 2-tracker Changing Shape juxtaposes big bass lines with edgy synth riffs to great acid-techno inspired effect, causing floor-pounding pandemonium throughout and guaranteeing the inclusion of ‘TLA’ in many a discerning DJ’s toolbox, whilst from the opening percussion motifs, ‘Jungle Fever’ imparts an irresistible groove that evolves throughout, energetically self-confident and rhythmically robust… a hypnotic, unique treat, as at home on the streets of Rio as it is the best dancefloors....
