Mexican producer Miguel Puente's new EP From The Moment drops on Miguel Campbell and Matt Hughes' Outcross Records this week and it's a slinky release featuring some stark electronic disco that builds nicely on last year's What You Do.

The EP opens with 'Only You', a funky electronic groove with layered vocal samples. It's a fairly muted start compared to what follows, particularly 'Keep On', which represents some serious low-end trouble, a lairy bass line and garage-y female vocals playing up a grimey basement feel and complementing the synth work.

The EP's title track is a little tighter than anything that precedes it, a straight four-four drum pattern providing the backing for some more soulful female vocals whilst Puente mixes in a series of effects, giving the track a rave-y sci-fi sound. Final track 'Be No Good' is Puente at his most rounded - deep bass and looped dubby vocals samples creating a darker, more emotional track. It shines thanks to its clattering drum patterns and the use of a strong vocal hook.

From The Moment is released tomorrow through Outcross Records - preview via Soundcloud below:

Miguel Campbell & Matt Hughes, Outcross Records, returns with Miguel Puente's 'From The Moment' this June, comprising four original cuts from the Mexican producer. Miguel Puente, over the past few years, has been steadily building a highly praised reputation for his dropped tempo workouts, many of which have found their way onto reputable imprints such as No.19 Music, OFF, Diynamic and Hot Waves, a striking indication of the sheer quality and current appeal in his work.

Inland Knights' new EP focuses on the kind of funky tech influenced house they've made their name with. It's an unfunny release so you'll probably either like it or you won't.

The EP opens with 'Bounce', a jerky, stuttering minimal track. Trademark silky pads and a distorted electronic bass provide the funk here whilst a cut up hip-house vocal delivers a little cheeky attitude. The track's drum track is focused and tight, giving the whole track a close, intimate sound.

On side two 'Broken Up' is a little less immediate, a loser percussion line leading in an acid bass line. The whole thing is a feels like a tease for the heavily filtered sample dropped in the bridge though. With elements of brass and plenty of disco sass it's another back room track for electro influenced sets wanting to show off a little disco smarts. No bad thing in my book but it probably won't change your world, but it might make your weekend.

Miguel Campbell & Matt Hughes close out the release, turning in a remix of 'Broken Up' as MAM, an act familiar with their disco-house sound. It doesn't have the acid bass and minimal influence of the original and instead takes a more straight-up route. It's fine, but a little unremarkable - the tighter original the stronger version.

The Break Out EP is released through Outcross Records on 26 November on vinyl and 10 December digitally. Check out a preview of 'Bounce' below:
