even if russian producer gradient logic is found here turning out the business on serbian label disco fruit, the sound on the far away ep comes on like a snappy fusion of garage-ready new york proto house and laid back west coast boogie of the highest order. it s the third vinyl release for tonbe s label, and once more marks the serious clout behind the eastern european operation and its closest artists. just try grooving to the slick bass pops on feel me without being transported to an early 80s dancefloor. there s a more organic funk to lock into on i want you slide, but as ever it s hard to tell where the sampling ends and the musicianship begins on this utterly natural sounding ep.

betonkust and palmbomen ii are back with their second collaborative effort. this time on the dutch pinkman label. six brand new tracks that seem a lot darker than their previous work. somewhere between belgian new beat from 1988 and the west coast sound of holland. a lo-fi nightmare that turns out to be reality. pounding drums, paranoid acid patterns and angsty out of control synth choirs.

based out of san francisco, extra classic is a unique live band formed with a keen appreciation of vintage reggae & vintage sounds. the aesthetic, and certainly the skilled method of their production, is an ode to the art of that classic style as referenced to the term coined by the cool ruler himself. recording in their own studio, nopal recording, the band employs a taster’s choice of analog equipment and is devotedly tracked, spliced and mixed in-house direct to tape. however, as the group’s name itself implies, there is a dose of something extra and new in this swirling mixture of space echo, heavy phase, and emotive, psychedelic california-soul.
built upon the rock of an early-era dancehall swing, their first single in conjunction with brooklyn-based imprint names you can trust entitled in this life, is a perfect slice of lover’s rock gone sideways, a decidedly left-coast piece of roots and bliss driven by adrianne delanda’s lovely lead vocals and the steady, dusty echoes of the locked in players. presented in the traditional format with a version as per nyct fashion, the dub mix incorporates a soothing dose of synare beams and underwater instrumental dreams.

french producer hugo lx returns with a new ep called “ascent” out on menace, 8 beautiful beats made with an incredible precision. hugo lx has been working in past with elzhi, large professor, homeboy sandman, oddisse, sadat x, the funk league, he is also known as a really good house producer, he proved that again with his recent releases on faces records, jazzy couscous or my love is underground. this release represent our first collaboration with the legendary fatbeats.

hey everyone, dont be alarmed as we understand that you just heard of us a few weeks back. here we are again with another doobified doozie of a 12inch. from the furthest reaches of the canadian west coast comes a concoction by three well known faces that have a long history of working together, they prefer to remain anonymous for this 12inch for reasons beyond us. were not that good at keeping secrets and have a suspicion that you hear the rambling house that is emitted from this trio brings to your ears will recall something very familiar. johnny lumière and the triads, originally conceived as side characters of the adventures of t-bar and salary man cartoon (never published). the music was recorded during break intervals in the cartoon writing sessions (still seeking illustrator). file this under mystified house with a splash of sunshine. ps:weve been doing our own printed sleeves for the last few records from a really cool print house here in berlin. we think they look unique as they are a print/ fold out designed by our friend dave girard. people seem to be into them and figured we should say that as we are only doing limited runs of them.

ubers latest offering is a sublime 5 track ep from french producer shelter. sailing on a black sea is a drifting piece of ambient electronica. late night stargazing on the deck with the waves gently lapping on the shore. sad beach continues with the layered textures with a little more of a percussive feel. through the desert land is shimmering mesmerising journey through the dunes with loose congas soft guitars and a hypnotic jews harp. seaport theme continues the coastal vibrations but with a touch of bounce and uplifting choral vocal stabs and louche pads. finally water plain closes the journey with kalimbas and xylophonic melodies and the contining theme of phosphoescent seas and soothing synth sounds. a very accopmlished slice of beach bar balearica destined for sunsets around the med for years to come.

as &me’s last two eps on keinemusik have been hitting the bulls eye of public perception immediately, his km034 for sure will meet high expectations from djs and crowd alike. what should one do within this sort of spotlight? boil up the same old formula? milk the cow? play it safe? well, &me is rather going for the ‘don’t overthink it and just do whatever you like’-option. which in case of this “one on one”-ep is a collaborative effort with english singer/songwriter-enigma fink, that’s letting musicality rule over functionality.

jungle gym records presents districts, the official debut of newcomer lac seul. through endless whirlpools and over cliff-side, jg02 is at home neither on land nor sea, wading in the shallows of the dreary pacific coast. in the end, it’s only after the tide has gone that one can see what’s left behind.

heavy sampling tends to drive this jeep and give it some character, many popular/unknown gems lifted from various dusty tapes and wax procured from thrift stores and vinyl throughout northern florida, cheap drum machines are clumsily slammed against it all and keep everything in a familiarly dance-y zone, while amateur chords and melodies are provided via guitar center synths and youtube ripped commodore 64 blips and stabs (note the cheeky nintendo voices as outliers). a fusion of analog discoveries and pixelated memories (melded together by the relentless florida heat), its an apt soundtrack for long and wistful road trips.

oddball space disco tracks compiled from library tracks composed between 1975 and 1978. big tip!! from the early 70s to the mid-80s, this self-taught musician composed about twenty albums of production and library music with generic cover art and titles (out of the way, magical ring, keys of the future, pulsations, more and more, etc.) that evoke interstellar travel. these experimental discs, made with love, humility and rudimentary means, had no ambition other than to accompany other peoples images. by exhuming these obscurities from the dustbin of history, born bad have decided otherwise. archaeologists with an agenda, they seek to give jean pierre decerf the renown he deserves: that of an innovator whose rhythmic, synthetic compositions inspired the harbingers of the french touch (air comes to mind), not to mention some east coast rappers.

interior groove traveler, and recent resident of canada’s “left coast”, unknown mobile has honoured us the privilege to issue his first 12-inch record. the three cuts hike through rolling levels of melodic foley and pensive oral snippets, laid over tough low-end and resonant harmonies. percussion is sparse yet carefully woven around patterns that wash in & out. while “no motion” and “rhododendron” induce a state of calming limbo, “mantra” offers a celebration of dance.

big mean sound machine is a twelve-piece afrobeat band native to ithaca, new york. they tour 150 days a year and have a large and dedicated following up and down the east coast. still, it is a crime that big mean sound machine is not well known elsewhere. the band’s tremendous sound combines a big band aesthetic while channeling a global sense of musicality. their shows leave fans drenched in sweat from dancing as audiences absorb the west african, caribbean, jazz and funk traditions that big mean sound machine carries forward.

in 2015 musician, producer, dj, record collector and tigersushi head honcho joakim played for the first time at mareh festival in boipeba, brasil. like many before him and many since, he found the experience a transformative one. and why not? so many like-minded souls gathered together on a remote island in bahia listening to the sounds of amazing djs while dancing barefoot in idyllic coastal settings all night long. what s not to like? it s quite a concept. in the moment of that experience, joakim vowed to head straight to the studio on his return home to try and recapture that magical vibe, which he did. and true to his word he offered it back to mareh for release on their imprint. a musical gift from the heart. the wonderful percussion and drums characteristic of joakim s productions drift in and around the mix and sit gently alongside the sound of the waves. beautiful arps reach out and capture the glittering stars at night and the first glorious sign of light at sunrise as the party continues. underneath everything the bassline continues to punch through, blending primeval carnival vibes with an electronic sensibility. lovingly mastered and beautifully pressed onto 10 inch vinyl in manila covers, this limited edition release is worthy of any record collection. it also represents a little piece of the magic that is boipeba, and will certainly fit perfectly into those balearic and adriatic settings too.
