she cant love you delivers smooth, soulful vocals and an abundance of attitude, propelled by provocative, cheeky vocals sitting over tough, funky rhythms and retro synth lines. the original mix has bounces with a us garage-like groove via chopped breaks supercharged with a solid kick and tons of nightclub funk. speaking of old school, egyptian lover supplies the electric boogaloo with remix that returns to his electro roots of the 1980s. the vocal sits comfortably in these new shoes, providing a classic-tinged alternative glance at this tune.

here it is, the 12th disc on hotline recordings, ringing off two wicked & wild dancefloor abstractions from none other than gantz.
tut-tut situation has been doing the rounds on dubplate for some time now, with the bandulu massive, commodo, etch and the likes giving this one big support from day one – we’ve seen dancefloors bruk out like a bunch of confused nutters to this one… it’s a certified soundsystem banger for wrong’uns.
on the flip, gantz comes with a new direction of style, dipping into the acid-drenched rave sound of the 90’s with his own set of information. rugged, distorted rhythms grind up against an infectious melody and love’d up vocals, once again, this is proper party gear for all twisted minds (and legs even).
an italian-spanish connection is always a good thing. the sort of sensual and mediterranean emotions that carlo and black loops can deliver, is a skill that has been taken far on this new ep. the dichotomy can prove difficult to square sometimes, particularly when the guys have different paths in their sound. but the mix is rich here. the intermission ep is a packed full of soul samples, warm pads, and great solid beats wrapped up as a soulful declaration. their massive love for music really shines through in this ep.
nice price deal !!! for the 6th polybius release we have another combo ep with the model (adult central / underline / gigolo) and posthuman (uk / i love acid / balkan vinyl) for what will be the 2nd on the split project’s serie.
EYE CAN SEE THE DARKNESS (IN THE END OF THE TUNNEL)
12 Inch 23.01.17
eye can see the darkness (in the end of the tunnel) is a shot of light in the dark cavern of a broken heart. blinded by the lights rips apart the heart-string orchestra rather than just pulling on the strings. a love ballad lost in the haze of the mid-summer, faded to blue and repackaged as a gentle and tender winter anthem. sharing the a-side with the lucid dreaming of jeremiah r on the drum-heavy remix.
on the flip, i am not him is a filter-squelching, bass-slapping meander into green haze territory, that finally erupts into a swagger of familiar detroit-channeled drums and steady faded pads. outernet grumbles up the black-hole cosmic radiation with an industrial-tinged number that plunges the depths of deep-space. proper growling and clanging synths to add the right amount of raw, just at the end.
nur zwei jahre nach leonard cohens letztem nummer-eins-album »popular problems« folgte im oktober 2016 mit »you want it darker« bereits ein neues werk des kanadischen singer-songwriters. es erreichte ebenfalls mehrfach die spitze der charts.

als convertible, meist unplugged agierend, veröffentlicht hans platzgumer seit über zehn jahren filigrane, von schwermut und glasklarer schönheit getragene songs. es sind zeitlose tracks, nur mit piano, gitarre und sparsamster percussion auf den plattenteller getupft, die gerade auf grund ihrer reduktion so lange wirken. zehn minuten, drei stücke, länger braucht diese ep nicht, um alles zu erzählen über das, was uns am leben hält und selbst über unseren tod hinaus strahlt: love.
der film der zweifachen oscar-preisträgerin barbara kopple begleitet die dynamische frontfrau bei ihrem kampf gegen den krebs im jahr 2013 und auf ihrer triumphalen rückkehr auf die bühne mit dem release von “give the people what they want”. der soundtrack besteht aus klassikern von sharon jones & the dap-kings: von frühen singles auf daptone bis zu songs vom album “give the people what they want” von 2014. der song “i’m still here” ist exklusiv auf dem album zu hören. so wie der film gewährt auch der soundtrack einen intimen und ehrlichen einblick in das leben einer frau, die sich weigert, auf ihre kämpfe reduziert zu werden. kurz: dieses album ist die perfekte ergänzung zu einem wirklich außergewöhnlichen film!
atr is a one of a kind reggae collective based in parkside brooklyn. founded by scrillamatic and kg, at their core they are just group of friends who hang out in the park and sing, all day. the routine is simple, they meet up at their favorite hangout spot on the side of a lake, play beats off of a beat up but loud stereo, and belt out lyrics out into the air. sometimes a crowd gathers but it’s usually just a few like minded artists sharing their love for music. natives of the west indies, but coming of age in brooklyn, they have a very unique perspective on life and the world we live in. with subject matters varying from traditional roots medleys, smoked out ganja anthems to gangsta badman chants to heartfelt soulful ballads telling tales of the ghetto and more, they have a lot to say.
