Cinthie

We've been impressed by plenty of record labels this year. The big guns like Warp and XL have been firing as per usual but when it comes to underground house music, one imprint has stood out amongst the rest.

Beste Modus is a label and collective operating out of East Berlin consisting of DJs Cinthie, Diego Krause, stevn.aint.leavn, Ed Herbst and Albert Vogt. When they came into the Lab LDN a few months ago, they gave a mightily assured performance, one that we've replayed several times since.

They may have only released five EPs but every one of the vinyl-only records oozes cool, sophistication and a whole lot of groove. They've just revealed the sixth release and it's a slick four tracker with cuts from the whole BM family.

We have the premiere of Cinthie's 'High In Hong Kong' and the Beste Modus boss has turned in chunky 4/4 roller. The kicks are thunderous, the synths are trippy and psychedelic and the drive is ferocious.

Considering the only place you'd usually hear this track is in the club or on the wax, we're thrilled to be able to bring you the full version. Viva Beste Modus.
