minimal tech house vibes

music out of columbia !!

2019 repress - for the shango ep, producer waajeed transitions from downbeat to upbeat on the latest release from his dirt tech reck imprint with three choice cuts ranging from the millennial blaxploitation vibes of the title track to the orgasmic, angular funk that is better late than never and winstons midnight disco. merging the electro sounds of his native city with the pulsating drums of his native land, waajeed taps into african roots in reclaiming the dance music that is his birthright as a son of detroit. check!

2019 repress - echoes of this summer’s ‘shango’ still shimmer through systems as detroit’s waajeed continues to make good on his promise: to “put paint where it ain’t.” after years of soul, funk and hip-hop explorations as a founding member of the platinum pied pipers (among many other innovative escapades) and, most recently, a soulful remix of amp fiddler on kenny dixon’s mahogany music, waajeed is building on the fresh line of house grooves he commenced this summer. his first pedigree dancefloor tracks in almost 20 years, he taps directly into the source and builds with his own soulful bricks. it’s working, too, dj-wise he’s playing alongside moodyman, mr. scruff and carl craig this fall, while ‘shango’ has enjoyed heavyweight support by the black madonna, carl craig, jackmaster, gilles peterson and many notable selectors.

ltd to 300 - for fans of loidis , mood hut and villalobos

with brighton being the spiritual birthplace of the london based anti skate label, it only felt right for them to finally have a proper release from a local talent. tech support’s output has seen releases on the likes of homage & astropical tapes, as well as a busy year of djing up and down the country. “excursion” is the dreamy playful opener that everyone needs to be prescribed in the morning, and not surprisingly, jesse bru has done an amazing job at turning it over its head quite intricately with a bit of detroit flavourings to go with it. the b-side is nothing short of special with the exciting piano keys and vocals on “praise” making it a boat party must-have. last but not least, the namesake “friends” is the butterfly-inducing club closer that’s been shown love by the likes of dan shake, lovebirds and laurence guy.

waajeed is proud to present strength, a cathartic ep on his own imprint, dirt tech reck. for this four-track package hes enrolled three detroit natives to collaborate ideeyah provides soulful vocals whilst jon dixon and jay daniel offer two diverse remixes. a detroit dream team, if you will. the title track is a radiant, melodic groover that looks to the sky for inspiration. ideeyahs lyrics battle with self-doubt, searching for solace in the harmonies around them, yet her vocals exude pure power. for his own string mix, waajeed elevates the delicate sentiment of the original to a sun-drenched dose of uplifting house. additionally, waajeed will perform across 17 dates for an extended tour between august and october this year, including shows at the legendary sub club in glasgow and movement festival torino. strength is the first of two singles from his full lp called from the dirt

tech-droppers fronts a coil of six acidic, harmonizing, well programmed, whizzing and straight to the bone dance punchers. the string of snappy snares, rainy cymbals, steps of cuts & drops, as well as the sequenced balance of high flying chords, rolling rhythms and solidly sectioned stabs keeps all tracks absolutely straight to the point.

esteban adame and dj dex as el coyote returns with two smoking dancefloor tracks. dream dealer takes the los hermanos inspired hi tech latin soul template into edgier territory with a thumping kick drum and deep driving bassline. the e2e4 inspired chords and esteban s wicked solo half way through the track assure dream dealer will be a highlight in any club set. the flip side la frontera leans more to the moodier techno spectrum. the track slowly builds to a melodic hook, a percussive break and a requisite hands in the air moment.

new york meets brighton as both label and artist step out on wax for the first time. this is a new, exciting realm for homage, but they surely know they re onto a winner with the feel good disco edit tones of tech support. there are classics embedded into these fine jams, with -feel it- coming on particularly summery in its laid back disco funk stylings. -inside out- is slightly more looped up, but no less uplifting, while -clarity- heads into a more woozy, filtered groove that feels inspired by the likes of theo parrish s ugly edits. by way of contrast -sugar- is a much more electronic affair that kicks with purpose while simultaneously reaching for the stars.

no tech, just wax! was born from the love for the raw essential old school sounds and the new deep electronic shades of gian marco / sucaz / frankie.
