nice price deal !!! ryota o.p.p aka ryota arai delivers his debut album pale lux for meda fury. ryota is based in tokyo at the nexus of the japanese house / future disco scene, alongside cohorts such as cos/mes, inoue shirabe, and kza he blends eastern mysticism, jazz spirituality, and cosmic disco with classic 4:4 rhythms. a highly respected dj, promoter and producer the opaque discoid-stomp of his future life ep marked him out as an original oddity but a vital new voice in the now global electronic music community, but with pale lux hes enlarged the scope of his musical canvas to incorporate new fresh textures and atmospheres. as meda fury head honcho nick williams explains: future life was built from some quite dark, abstract demos, some of which ended up being a bit overproduced for his self made debut cd only album. the pale lux lp is a ryotas fully realised eclectic vision, with a mood that is more optimistic and playful - much more reflective of his personality.pale lux indeed has a real narrative flow - dance floor tracks such as the chunky balearic vibes of wood, and banging future techno of bird flying over the rainbow nestle alongside home listening ambience witness the backroom/chill-out vibes of origin, the cute hip hop bounce of soft touch or the delicate trinket box chimes of outro drops. oscillating between light and shade, slow and fast, the influence of japan s history and native instrumentation runs right through the record, his fascination with balearic, disco, deep-house, hip hop, ambient and blunted beats parcelled into a glorious, sweetly considered listening experience.

after three years in the making, the followup to light in the attic’s game-changing i am the center box set is finally here. the microcosm: visionary music of continental europe, 1970-1986 is the first major overview of key works from cosmically-taped in artists needing little introduction — vangelis, ash ra tempel, and popol vuh — and unknown masterpieces by criminally overlooked heroes like bernard xolotl, robert julian horky and enno velthuys.

groove line records follows up the change remix 12” from the summer with the latest instalment of our officially licensed disco remix 12”s. next up are two exceptional disco remixes of the salsoul orchestra classics, “tale of three cities” and “tangerine”, by mike maurro, whose recent the mike maurro peak hour remixes box set has cemented the new york producer’s reputation as one of the most respected disco remixers on the scene right now. side a features “tale of three cities” (mike maurro disco remix), one of the salsoul orchestra’s funkiest cuts, written by bass player ron baker for their debut lp. maurro extends the arrangement to nine minutes, concentrating on the driving beat and rhythm section for the intro, subtly adding the guitar and keyboard parts before the first orchestral bridge at 1m36. stripping back much of the orchestral elements throughout the mix he gives more space to the deftly executed solo guitar and keyboard passages and gives special attention to vincent montana’s vibes, taking the dancer on a beautiful journey through the salsoul sound concluding with an instrumental, ethereal outro. side aa features “tangerine” (mike maurro disco remix), vincent montana’s skillfully rearranged version of the lilting jimmy dorsey pop standard which was the group’s biggest pop hit, also from their debut lp.

2016 ist es so weit: mit »the real royal albert hall 1966 concert« gibt es endlich den echten mitschnitt des legendären konzertes auf doppel-lp.

komponist roque banos hat schon scores für filme wie “der maschinist- (mit christian bale) und das remake von “evil dead” (regie: fede alvarez) produziert. seine neue arbeit für “don’t breathe” katapultiert ihn in den olymp der suspense- und horror-soundtracks. die vinyl-ausstattung ist - wie bei invada üblich - edel: klappcover, bedruckte inner-sleeves, orangefarbenes vinyl, downloadcode. “don’t breathe” ist nunmehr auch in den deutschen kinos zu bestaunen und in den top 10 der kino-charts. in den usa wurde der film ein so großer erfolg, dass er sogar -suicide squad- vom thron der kino-charts stieß. nicht schlecht für einen horror-film mit kleinem budget. die frankfurter allgemeine zeitung schreibt: “nein, das ist kein schockschrott, das ist eine echte horrorkinoperle: das dunkelkammerspiel “don’t breathe” von fede alvarez zeigt, wozu das genre fähig ist.” ein großer teil der nervenzermürbenden atmosphäre baut auf roque banos akustisches setting - statt klassischer instrumentierung gibt es hier düstere soundscapes.

cottam s ruff draft label makes a logical move and turns to a long-serving champion of gritty, soul-powered house jams from the tough side. dj nature may have made his name many moons ago, but he proves to be as relevant as ever on this killer two-track release. -alfred- is a tightly wound box jam that manages to maintain tension throughout without needing to pander to the release part of the process, sounding all the more exciting for it. -blood on your hands- meanwhile finds nature heading into the scuffed, soul-sampling territory he s most at home in, and the ensuing rumble of off-key funk is impossible to refute.

the grooves of thomas white and pete williams aka natural rhythm, have been a mainstay in the sets of robsoul boss phil weeks for more than a decade. today he pays ‘tribute’ with a special re-release of some of his favourites. born in a garage in the late 90’s, natural rhythm was a meeting of passionate musical minds. working together the pair sought to create their own style and sound, influenced by the tracks they were regularly spinning in their own dj sets across the country. creative sampling and their own raw beats, together with live instrumentation and regular guest vocalists, saw natural rhythm create a strong catalogue that, as we know, are still getting played today. with three albums and over 35 ep/single releases to their name, there more than enough music for label boss weeks to select from for the tribute ep. a tough job? of course. however, phil went straight for the four that never leave his box. leading the ep are the sun-drenched vocal vibes of ‘something big’, the title track of natural rhythm’s 1999 release on under the counter. our a2 is the lead track from 2001’s last call at the martini ranch ep, ‘chicago nights’, with its quaking bassline and disco dalliance. on the flip we’re treated to a choice selection from natural rhythm’s 1999 double album contrast in nature. first up with its celestial chimes and thumping kick is ‘smoldering island’, taken from the original part 1. closing the tribute release and taken from part 2 is the devilishly funky and suitably titled feelgood jam ‘energized’. we definitely are!

unblock label boss tuccillo strikes again with another solid release with the ep black talk. this is the 5th release on this respected vinyl only imprint that has previously showcased talent such as tomoki tamura and djebali but this time, comes from tuccillo himself with his unmistakable signature sound. headlining track -black talk- has a great rolling baseline with plenty of swing with some subtle vocal snippets thrown in here and there. -ride on- has a tougher edge with some old school flavours driven by a rhythmic snare with lots of energy perfect for the height of club dj set shopwork offers a more percussive sound over an infectious warm chunky groove, again with some cool short reggae influenced vocal snippets. a timeless release that can stay in the box.

fuckthegovernment.ltd, a.k.a. f.t.g (alfredo trastulli) and music box head honcho, marco riff, return to the skylax fold in 2016 with a cache of house nuggets for our listening pleasure. their last venture on skylax saw f.t.g collaborate with a bunch of his friends, resulting in some of the best tracks we’d heard all year, including the unforgettable fuckthegovernment theme. their tracks have been celebrated and hailed by some of the best djs in the game, names such as derrick may, ricardo villalobos, raresh, and dj harvey. the bar set by the first record remains sky high, and somehow, these two manage to raise the bar even higher. it may be the biggest cliche going when talking about an album, but the duo certainly do take us on a journey, through the past and present of house music. it’s a record not too dissimilar in tone to paranoid london’s from a few years back, but f.t.g and marco strip things back even further than those guys did, in our opinion, the sound is more raw with less frills, and no track names to predispose feelings in the listener either. this eight track project is cohesive and elaborate, with movements through sounds both acid and jazzy, minimal and maximal. it explores sounds that came to prominence in famous house locales such as detroit and chicago over in the u.s., but the underground european influence is definitely present, from paris to berlin, and of course f.t.g and marco’s home of italy. with this album, these guys add to the underground sound that has cultivated in the city of perugia for years now, a place that has seen the likes of simoncino and nicholas hone their craft.don’t miss out on a piece of skylax history
