afro house smasher

d3 recordings offshoot d3 elements is only three releases deep, but already their releases are reaching must-check status. following their recent release of a superb ep from us deep house veteran brian harden, the paris-based imprint offers up something a little different - an ep of gorgeously deep and melodic flavours that joins the dots between head-nodding instrumental hip-hop and floor-friendly 4/4 fare. there are plenty of surprises, too, including techno stalwart terrence parker delivering a flute-heavy downtempo head-nodder, some gorgeous beatdown from detroiter mike clark, and a thrillingly string-laden chunk of deep house bliss from the aforementioned harden.

big with: paco osuna, afrilounge, dave ellesmere,.. this vinyl features four remixes of the kassette boys ep from click | click and m_ferrià the remixers are: chatterbox aka christopher manik (autist/ harthouse/ nyc) empro & jozwiak (upon you/ home sweet home/ berlin) zhao (archipel/ clever music/ france) eff&lle & jitzu (weplayminimal/ kaufe musik/ italy).

kicking first release by french la boucle label with tracks by popof, mabik, wobo and zhao.
