If This Is House I Want My Money Back III [Permanent Vacation Promo]

Forthcoming on May 9th via Munich's Permanent Vacation is the third issue of the labels compilation series that is gathering a bunch of twelve producers from the softer - or deeper, if you want it - side of House music and their contributions to the well-responsed and popular outfit.With names like Axel Boman, Mano Le Tough or Kim Brown headlining alongside Hotflush-regular Locked Groove steering the boat that's carrying more producers like HNNY, Octo Octa, Boska and others "If This Is House I Want My Money Back III" serves pretty much what might be anticipated from a compilation like this: mostly melodic, harmless and - especially when it comes to HNNY's "Most Really Pretty Girls Have Pretty Ugly Feet" GuitarHouse fusion - partly unbearably lackadaisical layouts of (Deep)House music which are, although well crafted, not really matching with the writers love for raw, energetic classic House music at all with the exception of Lake People's more dubby and "Doubtful" affair if one takes out the kitsch-loaden strings appearing for no reason in the last third of the track. If they'd play this in a night whilst House Music is on the bill I'd defo be calling for a refund.
