the second loveit press comes right in time for the festival season and for dusty basements too. suolcity is a young producer from stuttgart, the spot for house business again. probably he felt it already as intern at rocker 33?, the club such as panorama bar and robert johnson. how else could you explain the b-side rush, you had to feel this dubby, gritty bassline. not hard enough - so maybe rush harder, you can have it all.

we are excited to welcome sebo k to tsuba for his first post-mobilee release with the aquamarine ep. lead cut *reach out* is trademark sebo centering around a nagging bassline and vocal hook that joins the dots between chicago house and modern tech house. *aquamarine* shows a deeper side to sebos production and for the remix we have enlisted one of the true greats, mr fingers aka larry heard. the result is a stunner, with live keys and a bassline that could only come from one of the pioneers of house music.

2015 repress - from the first glimpses of henry laufers work as shlohmo, it was clear that the la native and visual artist turned self-taught musician was onto something. with an effortless grasp on sound design, laufer combines deceptively simple and emotive melodies, subtle bass drops and swinging slow motion drums. his early work has placed him at the forefront of a new wave of rising talent amongst west coast producers… inspired by the desire to write songs and create a release of full-range instrumentation and vocals all his own, laufer promptly began home-recording >bad vibes<, his proper full-length debut album for the friends of friends label. some might say the songs on >bad vibes< represent the spawn of a new rhythm and blues - one that swings and sways under the backbone of henrys own take on modern electronic music. augmented with delicate slide guitar playing, homemade synth sounds and lilting, tuneful melodies, shlohmos latest output is one that will take you places - specifically the un-paralleled vibes swirling through this young mans head.

the original version is nothing short of a classic, but its as if the song had never been invited to a louie vega post-midnight global extravaganza. was the song not aware that spellbound dancing and high bpms were the standard for house music? normally, such a blaring disregard for nightlife decorum would relegate a song to the pits of sonic hell, but we’re talking about george clinton here! the original opens up with a g-funk groove that screams westside and lowriders. the listener is then blessed with clinton as he adds his sage, soulful and pimpadelic vocals, complemented by funkadelic singers asking him about the pains of the funk. the semblance of a beat that could drive the dancefloor into the morning hours is there, but in no way has it blossomed into its full glory. enter louie vega.
