for skylax 140, damien zala, of rowtag records fame, brings the heat with a new 6 track ep. it kicks off with an absolutely mad remix of * looking for the sun* by detroit legend, anthony shake shakir. the attention to detail is clear when it comes to someone who has been in the game for so long, and the rework he has done for damiens track is no exception. * the final break* is damiens first original on the record. a skippy, staccato affair in both its percussion and its disco/funk/soul sampling. *beauty is back* is damien taking things down a jazzier route, with a piano laden jazz sample and shuffling drums to match.on the flip, * always young* is an audacious disco edit, sampling such a treasured song that many would consider untouchable, luckily, damien works his magic to make an edit which gets people moving without being obvious. the ep closes out with * emotions* and the original version of * looking for the sun*, barely recognisable from the anthony shakir remix, in the best possible way! sweet & dirty indeed, dont miss this offering by the one and only damien zala.

second release from mdda on in my own sweet time recordings, after a stellar debut that received support from the likes of pangaea & midland. more innovative techno sounds, invoking elements from the best releases of early dmz, aphex twin, drexciya etc. seriously killer material from a truly interesting producer.

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everythings that sounds fine to their ears ! what a special one we have here on skylax classic! damien zala, the man who put out the superb album ‘lonely happiness’ on rowtag records in late 2012, who gets heavy support from the great theo parrish, dishes up six special tracks for our next release. before diving in, it is well worth noting that a selection of damiens album tracks had remixes by the likes of house icons such as dj jus-ed, rick wade and boo williams! if those names register even the slightest blip on your radar, which they should, then this record might be the treasure youve been searching for. damiens sampling technique has a certain air of grandeur to it. shake vibration makes this apparent right from the start with intricate layers of vocals, guitar licks and keys. all my respect and come around both follow suit whilst dizzie picks up the b side with a bit more energy and frenzy compared to what has come before it. the record rounds out with two tracks taking things a bit deeper. stay where you are drives forward with filtered pad chords that accompany jazzy sax and vocal cuts while conversely, z to the jz brings in a moodier vibe with its jazz samples and smoky drums. do not miss the chance to get such a gem of a record from damien zala!, c l a s s i c ! a must to have in every djs collection. essential item no digital

hat barrington levy seinen charakteristischen ohoho molldreiklang in absteigender tonfolge eigentlich jemals als markenzeichen schützen lassen? der reggae-saenger ist mit dieser stimmlichen signatur jedenfalls auf anhieb zu erkennen, nicht zuletzt, weil er von diesem gesangs-jingle ausgiebigen gebrauch gemacht hat. am legendärsten natuerlich auf seinem dancehall-hit here i come, mit dem diese werkschau seiner fruehen karriere von 1979-84 gewissermaßen abschließt. zu beginn war er uebrigens noch zarte 15 jahre jung und hatte mit songs wie shine eye gal schon ordentlich vorgelegt. ein zu unrecht vernachlaessigter klassiker. >d:bug<

this single-side vinyl, pressed in 100 cps limited edition, is the happy ending of one of the most played tracks from our friends djs and strictly grooves followers. >sweet pussy pauline< is a classic, an hit that increases over the time, in months of gigs between berlin and reggio emilia, london and garda lake. our job is to make good music and share it with those who appreciate it, but this time we have done much more, because sweet pussy pauline has become a true piece of art in the hands of tatiana festi, who designed directly on record, label to label, 100 unique pieces. tatiana is a very renowed artist, becoming bigger and bigger thanks to her brilliant style, its creatures, its sensual girls, with languid eyes and provoking mouths. and though in acid colors, bright and pop, painted with a meticulous technique and surprising signs of felt pen, all have something of the femme fatale and at the same time, victims of love.

in advance of the release of dapayk & padbergs third full-length sweet nothings - this time round on stil vor talent - the experienced duo are teasing us with the fluffy cloud ep, which showcases three of the album’s many diverse highlights, while keeping the vinyl lovers happy. the a-side bears the lps title track >sweet nothings<, on which dapayk & padberg’s sound takes a turn as they come knocking with a deep but forceful groover, whose distorted high-hats and trancey synth stabs create a vibe both euphoric and weirdly subdued. the lyrics, moreover, emphasise the duality at the core of many dapayk & padberg tracks as the latter ponders ‘you’re good for me - you’re bad for me’. showing another of the duo’s many facets, ‘backyard’ enchants thanks to mystical lyrics sung beautifully over a deep quasi-dubstep structure. marking the ep’s mid-point, the atmospheric song shines through intricately crafted fragility and is the perfect contrast to the previous and following track, while leaving a strong desire for more stuck in the listener’s mind. on the b-side, ‘fluffy clouds’ does quite the opposite to what its title suggests - rather than being a soft little piece, we are treated to big-room techno fodder à la berghain. a skeletal framework of heavy kicks, dark pads, white noise and dense metallics works relentlessly underneath a cold spoken word, proclaiming >not human, not animal - just a body in motion<. machine funk par excellence.

as a new year starts naked & ashamed kick off their adventures in club land with a release from new artist james washington.in the nite klub is the a side, a powerhouse groover fit for peak time use whilst flip sides sweet utilises a tribal groove with a simple melody for an overall hypnotic feel.
