Is A Feeling follows up its debut 12" with a classy and varied house offering from Triform. It kicks off with some old school and jacked-up sounds on 'Not For Radio' where analogue drums, silvery cowbells and ticking hi-hats get you in a sweat. Then it's a more drum-led and low-slung affair on the swinging 'Dub 3'. 'Mr Chr$ (65)' shows this artist's range as things become more stripped back and tech-inclined, with silky drum loops and watery droplets backed by diffuse chord work. 'Timeless Groove' then heads back to the old school with lush piano chords and sustained pads bringing the good times.

Other than being one of the affable fellows behind the counter at Berlin record store Bikini Waxx, Norwegian expat Alexander Skancke is an active DJ around town and runs the new Quirk imprint - which is now into its third release. QRK 003 features some dusty deep house that is perfectly geared towards the afterhours as heard on "Spooky Luke", while something more funked-up and energetic is catered for on the infectiously swinging B-side cut "Shotgun". Skancke gets back to the early morning program, again, on the B-side's hazy and disorienting microhouse jam "Twelve" (In The Morning) with its nice Rominimal vibe.
