The Collective Cuts sub-label of Cinthie’s 803 Crystal Grooves makes a welcome return with a fresh VA package, featuring Willy Mikkelson, Luca Olivotto, Batch One and Roque (CRP). Since its inception back in 2020, Cinthie’s Collective Cuts imprint has welcome the likes of KETTAMA, 9th House, S3A, UC Beatz, Anaxander, Azuni and many more onto the label. Here the story continues with more dynamic house jams from Cinthie’s coterie of underground artists from across the globe. Nashville, USA’s WiLLY MiKK leads with Devastate, laying the foundations for the records with a classic Hip House vibe, fusing crisp drums, bright stabs and bumpy bass with choppy hip hop vocals. Small Great Things head honcho Luca Olivotto follows with ‘Passion’, the Berlin based Italian delivers his refreshing disco-tinged House aesthetic via funky guitar licks, bright chord melodies, ethereal pad textures and shuffled drums. Batch One’s ‘When U R Free’ follows to open the flip side, merging snaking arpeggios and bouncy bass notes with uplifting piano lines and a raw, robust rhythm section. Spanish artist based out of Basel, Switzerland Roque (CRP) then concludes the package with ‘Bring It Down’, perfectly rounding things out on a deeper tip, raw, reduced drums carry the groove alongside an amalgamation of chopped vocal chants, dubbed out stabs and tension building strings.
