A gorgeously, wonderfully Balearic thing here from the Zagreb/Frankfurt axis that is House Is OK, injecting purest vitamin D into our scurvy-racked systems. Oliver Achatz boots things off with the creepingly anthemic 'L.A. Cure', all innocuous synths, which breaks fabulously come the middle. Homeboy's 'Kim' is all bass slapped to within an inch of its life. The ethereal houser 'While You Were Dancing', by Janis, somehow ups the stakes of an already essential release. Well played there.

Kerri Chandler's Madtech imprint is really taking out the trash of late. This latest from No Artificial Colours (Lewis Wright and Ryan Ellis) pretty much nails the sound that both Madtech and Chandler are currently extolling. 'Crying Wolf', with vocals from Alex Mills - she of Miguel Campbell's 'Something Special' - is pitch-perfect (US style) garage. 'Restless Souls', with Crosstown alumus Cari Golden, is bumpier, laden with 909 percussion under Golden's spooky vocal. 'Love', featuring Sheff, keeps the momentum burning. Very, very classy indeed.

Great Stuff main man Rainer Weichhold joins with old pal from the Kling Klang stable Namito for this two-tracker on Kompakt's spin-off imprint Kompakt Extra, joining a ludicrously impressive number to have released in the venerable 'Speicher' series. 'Hick' is pure hypnosis, weighed down with portamento bleeps, shaking percussion and a demonic bassline. 'Hack', meanwhile, ups the funk some, throwing in dirty disco horn stabs and enough cowbell to keep Christopher Walken happy for the rest of his days.

It takes balls to call a track 'Balls', and it seems that Mr Wink has them. Two, at least. This is his first release on his own label Ovum in four years, and it's ma-hoosive, as they say.

The excellent Marcin Czubala drops some more solid, solid house music on his own imprint Your Mama's Friend, complete with a robust version from Audiojack.
