drummer and music producer desmond mahoney is another of the unsung heroes of british reggae. born in jamaica, he moved to the uk in 1967 and began his professional career playing drums in a band called young ones from zion. he was a founding member of black slate when the group formed in 1974, played with them through their glory years and after running a sound system in north london for many years, returned to the fold when the group reformed a few years ago. his first foray in music production probably came during a brief period in toronto in 1978, working with a band called the ishan lions, but he was back in the uk in time for black slate’s breakthrough material, which brought them onto ensign in the uk, barclay in france and alligator in the usa. at the same time, he continued to arrange and produce for a number of british reggae artists operating in both the roots and lover’s rock modes, female duo nya & natty’s ‘one love stylee’ seemed to bridge the two styles quite successfully on this greatly sought-after 12-inch, first issued in 1981 on the s&g label, then based at a record shop in bow.

what is modern russia? an infinite space filled with skyscrapers made of gas and oil, golden crosses on church domes made of titanium, thousands of multi-floor beehives with millions of concrete honeycombs, where the fate of tired people burn out every evening. sensitive and subtle stirrings of the mind, persistently pushing up towards the light through the bootstrampled dirt, and blackened by ignorance. an infinite space of a centuries old experiment of power over man, and man over power on its way from nowhere to nowhere.

sunlightsquare keeps on exploring multiple style of house music this summer. the previous single from the last month -oyelo- was a winning combination of authentic latin cuban music and classic 909 house beats. it was championed by ron trent, osunlade, hunee, bradley zero, nick the record and atjazz to name a few. this time, the main man and keyboard wizard claudio passavanti deployed two remixers for deeper and more spiritual endeavour to showcase his magical composition. hailing from the birth place of south african house music pretoria, the talented young producer blaqtone laid out beautiful sunset pad, earthy african percussions and solid rolling beats, all work like magic with claudio s original spiritual keyboard works. on the flip side, kay suzuki pulled off another dubbed out psychedelic mix with -astro dub-, just like the previous release, and the more dance-floor oriented classic deep house style of -moon mix- influenced by the likes of larry heard. the track features sequenced mini-moog bass line and call & response drum programming before blissful harmonies and melodies kick in.

der dramatische thriller der beiden safdie-brüder ist eine hypnotische odyssee durch die new yorker unterwelt, in der der protagonist verzweifelt versucht, seinen bruder aus dem gefängnis zu holen. die hauptrollen spielen robert pattinson (in seiner bislang besten performance) und jennifer jason leigh. musik und bilder gehen dabei eine symbiose von unglaublicher tiefe ein, wenn banale events zu dramen und montagen zu miniopern werden. oneohtrix point never gelingt mit dem soundtrack ein ausgesprochenes hörerlebnis, das seinen exzellenten studioalben in nichts nachsteht, und mit -the pure and the damned- featuring iggy pop einen markanten schlüsseltrack enthält.

the drum library series, which began back in 2001, has prided itself on compiling the hardest, crunchiest and most rarefed drums from every source imaginable. we’ve held to this standard for over 15 years, providing professional producers & bedroom beat makers alike with the largest collection of quality drums available today. in short, the drum library series has become an industry standard. the ever-expanding, go-to kit for beat makers around the world. now, with the conclusion of the series at volume 15, you hold in your hands, what will be the last vinyl incarnation of the drum library series.
these drums actually constitute what would have originally been volume 4 and 5 before the masters were initially thought to have been lost in a flood that gutted the studio where, up until then, the drum library series were made. fortuitously perhaps, these last two “orphaned” volumes were discovered safe & sound in a storage unit just as vol.15 was wrapping up. we’ve compiled them both here in one special edition volume.
we hope you’ve had as much fun using the drum library series as we’ve had making them. thank you for your support over the years!

originally released in 1990 the sun & moon mix of ,walk on air, has taken on near mythical status as a benchmark record that brought together strands of ambient, deep house, techno and trance. the b side sees the original amphibious carbine mix joined by two previously unreleased dubs unearthed from the original dat tapes.

when two creative minds join and bring an all-out modern disco track, this is the result. natasha kitty katt & twisted soul collective have aligned forces to bring you an array of ideas, thoughts, sounds and feelings. if you like your tracks, upbeat and funky, then this is a golden ticket. definitely for the disco dancers, you can visualise grooving to this number under a mirror ball. on the b side cosmic bitch with beautiful background orchestration and a contemporary groove can integrate perfectly into either a disco or house set. from big clubs, to sunshine surroundings, this track has already received stellar feedback.

sunlightsquare s first single of 2017, oyelo, is a mixture of jazz, cuban and house music in its most authentic form. starting with moody latin-jazz piano and sun-drenched live percussion played by master percussionist giovanni imparato, the track is driven by the classic house beat of the tr-909 - the legendary 1980 s drum machine. ronnie scott s resident cuban singer rene alvarez delivers the impassioned vocals, followed by the main man claudio passavanti s heated montuno piano riffs, which combine seamlessly to create a blissful, dance-floor experience. it s a perfect marriage of organic grooves, lush beats and soulful vocals, joining the dots between different generations of latin dance music.
for the b side, london based, japanese producer kay suzuki transformed the original track into his signature psychedelic journey in 2 parts. his by the sea mix takes you to the havana beach with its synthesiser generated waves & seagulls right from the intro. the stripped-down beats and vocals are smoothly laid out with warm analogue synth textures, giving more space to claudio s tasteful latin-jazz keyboard improvisations. in contrast, the drum dub goes to the opposite side of the spectrum, all the musical elements have been removed, focusing solely on the live percussion and the raw tr-909 beat, all dubbed out with tape delays for a classic cosmic dub treatment.
