New music is now up at Primalrecords.com, and here's an abbreviated hitlist of what's in store:

FREAKS Washing Machine (Original & DJ Sneak Mxs) MFF [House] For those of you who weren't lucky enough to secure one of the advance promos that we had of this some months back, your wait is now over! Live and direct from a laundromat near you comes the Freaks newest club jam, and if you've been out to a club at all in the past six months you probably already know it and love it due to the constant hammering this slate has been getting. The A-side contains the Freakslongspin Mix, which has undoubtedly seen the most play time up until now, but on the flip DJ Sneak's Supa-Clean Mix strips it down the bare elements, before rinsing it out in a minimal, yet jackin' Chicago house style as only Sneak can do.

RAMBO "Turn It Up" (Superchumbo and D. Ramirez Rmxs) Vudu [Progressive, Tribal] To be honest, I fully expected this record to be cheeky as all get-out and rife with Sylvester Stallone samples. But oh, how wrong I was! Instead, I come to find out that this is a collaboration between Tom Stephan and D. Ramirez, with each of them respectively remixing the result, and my did they create one hell of a peak-time club beast. D. Ramirez starts things off with a downright filthy take on things, with chugging lo-fi percussion, a grinding bassline, and underwater effects. Flip the slate and you'll find Superchumbo dishing out a slightly cleaner take on things, but in classic Superchumbo style the elements keep layering upon each other to reach a decidedly hypnotic climax. Top business from both these amazing producers!
