after several hot tunes on worthy’s anabatic imprint, birminghams tom flynn joins the ranks of the dirtybird crew. i ve battle tested the a-side of this record all around the world. >catch that bird< is a rare mix of deep rooted funk whilst also sounding like a caribbean jungle track pitched down to 126. my favorite!
i d play this ep just on the strength of the a-side but i feel like a lot of attention will also be given to the b-side called >rhode island<. this is a classic piece of deep house with all the melodic elements of a dirtybird jam.
tom sent me at least 7 tracks before i signed these so the guy is certainly prolific and i expect to hear quite a bit more from this up and comer this year.
enjoy,
claude vonstroke

born in chile but raised in sweden, alexi delano, with fellow swedes like cari lekebusch, adam beyer, jesper dahlback, joel mull and others, became part of some of the first wave of swedish electronic music producers that made a name for themselves in the mid 90s, releasing on techno labels such as plus8, missile, primate, hybrid, svek and many more. his style dwells in the perfect balance between shiny minimalism and dark vivasious techno, which is exactly what you can expect from his brand new ep for leena >un do me<. as a long term friend of mobilee, and also an artist who’s productions fit well with many of our artists dj styles and tastes, its a great pleasure to finally release one of his productions on leena. both tracks on the ep >un do me< and >watch out< come with a powerful punch and high energy. with more than two decades on the stage, hes an artist that is certainly showing no intentions of slowing down. we hope you enjoy this!

support from oxia, rodriguez jr, radioslave, josh wink, dj koze, laurent garnier, seth troxler, joris vorn, jennifer cardini, dixon, claude vonstroke... two friends who have known each other for many years, who have often shared the same stage and recently enlightened our summer workshops at la carrière, who trade deeply-felt lyrics and singing for singular and refined productions and who delivered infinés finest electronic rhymes. after >silently<, clara called mimu again for >deer & fox<, the vocal pop wonder of >polyamour<. this fall infiné has invited forward-thinking remixers to work on clara s stems for four new opportunities to play the track. deep and introspective, the troublemakers of dop have kept the classy original textures, slowed down cleverly the bpm to carrying mimus voice into a bubble of euphoric bleeps. pampered by derrick may, juan atkins or kevin saunderson, stacey pullen offers the clubbers a one-way ticket into his time machine. right back at the heydays of the detroit second generation. terribly old school and consequently incredibly efficient on the floors. widely praised for their recent intrusions on the very respected karaoke kalk label, tolouse low trax on top having a profound liking puns, have turned >deer & fox< into a dizzying after party chorus, adding their own dark and hypnotic sound pallet. offered as digital extension but no less essential to the package, austrian producer ritornell aka richard eigner brings celestial violins and heavenly piano for a shining and delicate rework, which could almost let you forget the original.

this is one of the biggest releases on the label so far: juan pablo pfirter and alex bau team up for a smashing peaktime experience that leaves no space to take a breath. the modulating main synth-theme determines the character of both mixes and while juan stays very dry and powerful, direct sound, alex roughens it down to a dark technomonster as if there is no tomorrow. after release of pfirter on such highclass labels as clr, figure, stroboscopic artefacts and his very own mindtripmusic this is a stunniung debut on dmom.
played by: richie hawtin, alex bau, wjh, pfirter, dalidad djs, laurent n, etc

the truth: this one is for the indie lovers ? five tracks of homespun homegrown homemade shoe-scuffing heartbreakpop featuring a ruffled array of alternative special guest singers. gospel music, aka owen holmes, is the man at the eye of this particular humble hurricane. when he isnt emailing camera obscuras tracyanne campbell or darren hefner hayman he is playing bass with cheery floridian indiepop critters black kids. and when he isnt working on black kids somophore album he is laying down hobo-jumping leftfield nuggets when run the gamut from johnny cash to jonathan richman and beyond. but dont just take our word for it ? this is what gospel music has to say about himselfË

remixes von nicolas jaar und ed bangers boogie-revivalist breakbot! matthew dears black city is an opus of bacchanalian futurism, then second single >you put a smell on me< is its presumptive climax—an unblinking industrial march to the center of the brains most neglected corners. its drums are militant, its pace is unswerving, and the squarewave synths that start falling like mortar shells are searing and wide-eyed. then theres the marbled voice of dear himself, pent-up and sexually charged, beckoning you for a ride in his big black car. its the sound of staring down the part of yourself that you are most afraid of. if that seems too daunting, theres always the dub version. when mirrored through the eyes of others specifically wolf + lamb prodigy nicolas jaar and ed bangers resident boogie revivalist, breakbot — >you put a smell on me< starts to feel less lobotomizing. jaars version is a sullen, scratchy, headphone-ready beat trip—atmospheric vibraphone samples here, stilted kicks and snares there, all of it amorphously affecting together. and breakbot has no problem hamming it all up into the sort of blithe electro-funk every prom night deserves.

mood ii swing steps up to the plate for the latest core reissue with one of their finest works, handpicked from an accomplished list of mighty ny house masterpieces spanning the 1990s. >sunlight in my eyes<, released on king street sounds, is one of springsteen and ciafones unquestionable feats, an astral, pad-laden waking dream structured around a spine-tingling vocal sample that is progressively rearranged, teased-out and freaked relentlessly, as each exalted chord is shone down from the heavens at precisely the right instant. a prime example of the weightless, unfettered and incomprehensibly beautiful musical imagination of the rave generation, the 1994 masterpiece nonetheless features the swinging drum program and demolition drive of a ny house classic—a track right at home amid the boundless vision of springsteen and ciafones genius. finally reissued after 16 years of obscurity, >sunlight in my eyes< encapsulates mood ii swings many forms in a singular exposition of deep house eternity worthy of representing the duos prolific catalog.
