on opulence s second release the label welcomes grammy nominated artist james teej with his the only constant ep. inspired by his budding years djing, james revisits his early house influences and delivers two powerful cuts of disco infused grooves laced with an overall contemporary touch. the first track the only constant is change is a highly infectious dance floor number reminiscent of classic filtered disco house, arranged with a patient and contemporary restraint. the tracks hypnotic and repetitive nature draws the listener in, and keeps the attention throughout with subtle changes that slowly grow to a tasteful and rewarding climax. on remix duties opulence has invited apollonias house music legend dan ghenacia who delivers a slick deep house rework that keeps the vibes intact of the original with the french artist s signature groovy machine touch. already road tested over the summer at dc10, dan s remix helps bring the original to a place closer to the clubs dance floor. the 3rd and final song is life goes on, a grooving disco infused classic deep house cut that features no regular plays greg paulus on trumpet. the song perfectly blends the sounds of yesterday with a modern touch and feel, and provides an uplifting soundtrack for any dance floor, especially those magic moments outdoors on the beach. once again, james continues to show his passion and diversity in his music with this expertly crafted ep that will surely be a welcomed addition to any house lover s record collection.

ultramajic came into the possession of meticulously dated tapes from 1995 -1998 with sharpie inscription ashtar lavanda. we had never heard this name and google search didnt bring back many results. we had uncovered a hidden treasure of detroit electro. the ashtar lavanda tapes led us on a journey to find out who the producer behind the sound was, and furthermore how did this music never get released?

solo project of vanishing twin (soundway) member. the song cucumuber sword feat. vocals by taishi nagasaka (fat white family) man from uranus has been making music inspired by the freakier edges of 60s and 70s library music and jazz for almost 2 decades, and like his predecessors - sun ra, space lady - he s never really fitted in, feeling more comfortable exploring cosmic realms than than with his feet firmly on his own planet. a prolific composer and home recordist, he has garnered a reputation for eccentric live shows, each presenting an entirely new repertoire. alien flowers, in a limited edition of 300, is one of few recordings capturing the spirit of an artist who is unwittingly on his way to attainting cult status. alien flowers has been played on nts, the wire s adventures in sound and music and the independent music podcast. support from the sunday experience, tom furse (the horrors), jonny trunk, doug shipton (finders keepers), emily bick (the wire) and anthony chalmers (baba yaga s hut).

nolan the ninja is a throwback in many regards. in an era where many are just thrust into the realm of music without having gone through a proper stretch of artistic development, nolan has been through the gauntlet and honed his abilities to the razors edge over the past few years. nolans debut ep -fck the hype-dropped on left of center and attracted praise from 2dopeboyz, huffington post, pigeons & planes, egotripland, urb, watchloud, respect and numerous other outlets. after eye opening live appearances on dj eclipse s halftime show and tony touch s toca tuesdays shade 45 show it was clear the world needed a full length album from him.

recondite marks his return to hotflush with the epic, potentially summer-defining *caldera* and a sequel to his 2012 hit *drgn*. the bavarian artist has undergone a dazzling rise since that time, and one which is reflected in the increasing opulence of his music.

having produced one third of nas generation-defining illmatic, large professors place on the pantheon of hip-hop heavyweights is already etched in stone. when you add in his groundbreaking debut as a member of main source - or the fact that he has collaborated with luminaries like pete rock, a tribe called called quest, busta rhymes, mobb deep, masta ace, and big daddy kane - it is crystal clear that the mans influence towers high above the history of the hip hop.
with fat beats records’ release of re:living, large professor builds on his already impressive discography with an entirely self-produced record that delivers all the crisp drums, razor-sharp scratches, and innovative uprock grooves that define his signature sound. *i m moving forward,* large says, *but i went back to an earlier formula. with this project i feel like it is the closest that i take it back to that main source style.*
featuring roc marciano, inspectah deck, cormega, g-wiz, fortune, and lord jamar, re:living shines a spotlight on new yorks best voices from the golden era to today. but above all, large professor lets his production do the talking - and with a legacy like his, beats speak louder than words.

the latest and next 12 inch on rekids has opulence written all over it. a ibiza 2010 floormoover for sure

the waiting is finally over! after all the ups and downs of the past year, we can happily report that joshua eustis now firmly intends to continue telefon tel aviv as a solo project. in order to mark his decision with a bang, thewonderful title track >immolate yourself< is being released as the second single from the current lp. the song has been entrusted to highly acclaimed and diverse remix artists who have skilfully stripped down the epic album track to more club-friendly formats.
the a side is delivered by label-mate thomas muller, whose finely detailed techno soundscapes can now be enjoyed on five bpc 12 inch releases. his >immolate< remix takes a much more direct approach. he reduces the lush arrangement of the original to a powerful basic framework, leaves out the vocals almost entirely, and creates a surprise when the track crumbles into sonic chaos towards the end.
miss fitz aka maayan nidam has had singles released on labels including raum musik and freak n chic, and these have been remixed by renowned artists such as ricardo villalobos. her version of >immolate< also makes a clear break from the album track and serves up her very own brand of abstract, dancefloor-friendly house. once again, all the opulence of the original is thrown overboard, a dry beat is placed at the centre of the arrangement and enriched with sinuous vocals.
ben klock needs no further introduction - he is the epitome of the bleak, hard minimal sound. his album >one< is currently available on ostgut ton, and as a remixer he has earned the highest acclaim for his version of depeche modes >peace<. bens >jack mix< is fittingly titled and lives up to all the expectations of the name. the track is stripped back to a resounding, hammer-like beat framework - minimised for maximum effect.
bpitch legend sascha funke delivers a surprise with another astoundingly reduced remix, at least by his standards. he turns away from the melodic richness of his current album >mango< in favour of repetitive fragments and an extended arc of tension which will surely make his >immolate< remix a massive after-hour hit.

the epic emotive opulence of lilois enough to handle, but remixes from satoshi fumi and chris fortier might just send you sprawling. >lilo< its bigger than ya mama.

japans undisputed master of soulful opulence is back with a daring mixture of classic dub techno, soulful deep house, jazzy improvisations and a big thumping beat that makes hiroshis music so special
