brilliant detroit piano house nuggets - dj john collins edits....features productions from mad mike banks

new label by mastermind scope. mixup between deep, dreaming, jacking house. the list of involved artist and remixers needs no explanation. a little less than 8 months ago, ric mcclelland & sean grieve launched seven music as an outlet for their own material. in that short space of time, the label has grown dramatically. not only have they released their own material as scope, south west seven and sydney young, but the label has become a home for a wealth of new talent such as sumsuch, chilf, stephen day, replika and giorgio luceri. key players in the scene such as audio soul project, huxley, russ gabriel, ethyl and orlando b have also joined the seven music camp and helped the label continuously build. the label has accomplished a lot in a short space of time and this collection of tracks handpicked from the initial 10 releases is only the 1st chapter for seven music!

pillow talk continue to impress with their unique body of sounds on the latest wolf + lamb release. masters of weaving a variety of styles and influences with sumptuously nostalgic live vocals, this debonair san fran trio is fast becoming a prolific force on the global scene. its difficult to pigeonhole the pillowtalk sound since its purveyors are such experts in playful eclecticism. shifting the tempo and joining the dots from retro soul leanings to deeper electronic, pillowtalk is a melting pot of influences and voices that takes you on a new ride with each sonic wave. bursting with original vocal flair, the far from heaven ep is a steamy four-tiered affair, between the sheets and under the disco ball where tales of lust and desire unfold to soundtrack of 80s sex music and soulful house.

chicagos richard pegue was one of the most intriguing figures to come out of the chicago soul scene in the 1960s and 1970s. raised during the citys fertile doo-wop era, pegue immersed himself in music immediately. he cut his chops as a mobile dj, record store clerk and recording artist before stepping into the booth as one of chicagos most enduring radio personalities to grace the citys airwaves. the nickel and penny labels featured in this compilation are twin sides of the same eccentric coin, pegue himself.

duets ii is another collection of american songbook standards performed in the best of ways. it includes collaborations with the best voices of music: aretha franklin, natalie cole, norah jones and k.d. lang grace the recording booth with this legendary singer.
but it is the tragic and premature passing of amy winehouse that makes this album truly special, her appearance on the duet >body and soul< is the last known recording of the british songbird, and it is a truly heartrending version of the 1930 jazz classic. if this isnt grammy material, we dont know what is!

jonny whites, white hot no.19 music imprint closes out the year with a one sided slab of vinyl featuring one of the its biggest tunes to date, >under the sheets< by maceo plex... no.19 music continues its meteoric rise with a record that has been building momentum for most of 2010. whilst the imprint has been drawing fans by the thousands with killer singles from tannerross, modern amusement and no regular play plus the awesome soul clap compilation and samplers, there have been a number of secret tracks receiving the art department road test in preparation for their release. at the top of that pile is >under the sheets< by cuban american dj/producer maceo plex!

limited vinyl edition of northern lites new longplayer i like.

4 tracks of deep soulful house/techno.. more excellence, slightly harder/more jacking than previous outings but still covers a broad remit of house/techno over 4 tracks. darling farah returns with his second ep of 2011. entitled >division<, the detroit-born producer offers four tracks that journey further into deep house, techno and machine-soul. the ep grabs you from the offset, while dream-like qualities wash over the listener they contrast perfectly with an offbeat, energetic 4/4 backbone. division will undoubtedly solidify the hype around its precociously talented 19 year old producer and add more critical acclaim to that already received from his previous releases, >berline< and >exxy<.

breaking onto the scene via a series of anonymous 12inch, it was after garnering reverence as a big name producer in disguise that cottam was unveiled to be the humble newcomer paul cottam. rising through the early rave scene in his hometown of preston, he first cut his teeth as a dj warming up for the likes of surgeon, dave clarke and regis. despite his techno upbringing, it was the slo-mo tempos of mark e and the revenge that inspired cottam to produce his own brand of dusty soul and hip hop-grounded house. however, in april cottam returned to his roots with >sunrise sunset< on use of weapons, sinking a rave core down to his signature slung bpm. it is a journey into sub-aquatic acid house that began with a series of remixes for luv jam, pattern select and morning factory, and one that he continues to explore on his aus music debut. aptly titled >deep deep down< sculpts the feeling of acid techno into warm slo-mo house. ukrainian producer vakula takes the track off on another tangent entirely, stripping away its propulsive chugging heartbeat and replacing it with an off-kilter, spaced-out pulse reminiscent of theo parrish when he s in that kind groove. on the flip, >twang< is a return to cottam s brand of languid, soulful house, steeped with groove destined to incite the dancefloor shuffle.

locura present the second vinyl of our brand new imprint, locura records. they are trying to involve the best underground artists, focusing on the first chicago sound, with deep, acid and disco elements. this record starts with our collaboration with ennio colaci, half of minimono (oslo, bosconi, tuning spork), >the keeper of dreams<, remixed on the same side by the highly acclaimed german duo snuff crew (gigolo, rush hour, snuff traxx). the 3 tracks b side will contain 3 originals by meschi (lunar disko), rio padice (tsuba, morris audio) and takeshi kouzuki (mathematics).

when a deservedly hyped label like no.19 music states that its biggest release is about to drop then a certain amount of attention is due and thats exactly what the labels 19th release, tanner ross >b side ep<, deserves. despite having clocked up an impeccable discography that takes in collaborations with soul clap (as sect) and sergio ross as well as output for freerange, airdrop, culprit and dirty bird this is ross first solo release under his given name and is causing a enormous buzz via consistent plays from label-boss jonny white (art department), crosstown rebels main-man damian lazarus and a few close friends of the family. adding to the two stunning originals, b side and 4 u ft. flo night , and pushing things into unmissable territory is a brilliant remix of the latter from crosstown rebels / wolf & lamb family member, deniz kurtel.

the faceless artist, the nameless music. based in paris but with soul between chicago and detroit, rhythm& soul releases his first ep on monofunk. a release full of magic and soul , proper of the most respected nouvelle cuisine chefs from the city of love. deep house with jazzy touches and an amazing groove where each track becomes a deep future classic. >la jazzete< perfectly describes rhythm & souls sound identity. elegant drums, perfect melody and a bass line full of soul and three piano musical notes that repeats itself until it finds its way in to your dreams. in >midnight preacher<, r&s takes us to the most soulfull detroit. slowly progresses, with an impact full simplicity, to build up a 100% organic track full of life and plenty of funk. thats dope! damian schwartz (cmyk, apnea, deepdope), is our star guest. damian remixes brilliantly and unexspectable midnight preacher, twisting the track and taking us to the most analogic ghetto, maintaining the elegant melodies of the original track.

pirahnahead and diviniti, these names are synonymous with quality dance music. since 2004s >find a way< they have been two of dance musics most prolific songwriters (and even co-wrote a few songs for les nubians on their 2011 full length >nu revolution<). with each release they have provided powerful production, smooth vocals, angelic harmony, and overall, musical excellence. this time, the super collaborators return to the foreground with one of the best tracks of 2011, >(just like)a dream<. as the sixth release from whasdat music, this soothing track has been supported by the likes of vinny da vinci, ian friday, paris cesvette and neil pierce as well as phil asher (who included it on soul heavens miami sampler mix). also, joining in as remixers are charles webster and jose carretas. both have previously collaborated with pirahnahead & diviniti, topping charts on traxsource.com. (charles websters >learning to love me< and jose carretas >life in a box<). this release is a sure-fire floor rocker and a must have for any dj.

stuart li aka basic soul unit (versatile, mathematics, ostgut ton) has delivered 4 new cuts of submerged bass excursions for nouveau kanada. all tracks sound distinctly raw and heavy, but with modern nods to uk bass and spatial elektro. stuarts deep appreciation of dusty house grooves shines through on all tracks - but his treatment of the lead cut >deep diving< pays homage to those dope dance mania b-sides of yore. for fans of kassem mosse, move d, adonis, larry heard, early ur, stl, edgy pearson sound or good brazilian jams from the 60s.

presenting the >cant buy love ep<, wolf + lamb records invite you to enter the visceral world of aquarius heaven. a rhapsody of sonic flow both rough and smooth with heavy doses of sleaze and deviant, lust-filled rap, the aquarius heaven experience is nothing short of electrifying. when brian brewster met dop in paris, 2005, the former reggae, dancehall and hip- hop singer was to undergo an electronic rebirth. during the hours of studio lock-up that followed, tapping into a wealth of musical influences, the arresting sound of aquarius heaven was born. after the outstanding debut >7 days ep< on circus company caught the attention of gadi mizrahi of wolf + lamb whilst in berlin (where brewster is now based), it wasnt long before the label made aquarius part of the crew and the >cant buy love ep< was brought to light. a heady mix of sexually charged house funk, a-side >cant buy love< bumps and grinds down a bassline made of rubber with the heavy depth of brewsters vocals in the driving seat. playful and bold with singer dani sicilianos yearning interruptions, the mood is a twisted fusion of love and filth. already a staple in the sets of soul clap and wolf + lamb, >cant buy love< has all the markings of a cult record in the sex music hall of fame
