how do you follow-up last years monster mr.spock? of course with something even more ghetto, more dirty and more fun. lezgo is the 2nd collaboration between justin martin and ardalan, a curious bay area duo of master and apprentice that seems to be magic in the studio. this time they delve deep into the footwork meets house sound delivering cool r&b respites inside mega booty grooves for 3 minutes then letting down the hammer on the kick drum in the finale that kills every time. this is the type of tune that gets everyone moving and smiling and makes you wish you had 10 of them just like it in your bag. i ve played this to every type of crowd from techno chin scratchers to college kids, festival crowds, london know-it-alls, fund raising 40+ year olds, deep house heads, post dubsteppers, basement afterpartiers, hip-hop crews, disco kids and straight up ravers. it works everywhere and thats the sign of a big tune.

at the young age of just 20 years old, ardalan from the tch dolphin crew in san jose is quickly proving himself to be a leader in the next generation of bay area house music. justin martin quickly recognized his talent when ardalan sent him a 10 minute demo.
after one listen justin thought the track was genius but needed some additional editing and arrangement work. he took on the project and the outcome was >mr. spock<. this dancefloor monster was instantly charted #1 by myself and jesse rose as soon as we heard it. it works. for real.

meggy hat es weit gebracht, seitdem sie in den clubs ihrer heimatstadt berlin zu singen und platten zu drehen begann. nachdem sie daraufhin auch als co-produzentin, mit u.a. mit releases an der seite von till von sein und ardalan in erscheinung trat, lag ihr fokus darauf, ihren housesound mit einer leidenschaft für melodien und vocals ganz allein zu produzieren, seit 2013 veröffentlicht sie solo-eps. mittlerweile felsenfest in der berliner szene etabliert, nicht nur als dj und sängerin sondern auch als produzentin, gleicht jedes jahr einer achterbahnfahrt. und da hochwertiges material wie diese ep auf regelmäßiger basis erscheint, wird sich die situation 2018 wohl auch kaum beruhigen.

strangelove recordings makes its bold arrival with its inaugural release from the well-seasoned beatmaker worthy, with the aptly titled a little weird ep . a little weird stretches across the a-side with its bouncy drum and sub figure, spread thick over a searing lead line, percussive bleeps and worthy s all-yearning vocals that crescendo with a playful momentum. on the flip, bang baby keeps up the pressure with its warm and weighty bassline and fractured drum programming calling once more for worthy s vocal tones, bouncing atop the bumping rhythm track that stylistically treads the line between house, bass and tech. having of recent re-established his own anabatic records, toured relentlessly and released on labels such as exploited, insomniac and defected, worthy s much anticipated debut with us sets the standard high for what is to come, whilst wholly encapsulating the label s experimental sound dj support: danny howard, gorgon city, eton messy, amin edge, jakwob, illyus & barrientos, dateless, charlie tee, coco cole, linier, gotsome, kideko, low steppa, monki, mike wooler, oliver heldens, dismantle, 6ftshort, ciszak, ardalan, walker & royce, friend within + more!

justin martin looks to the skies on hello clouds, his second full length album on dirtybird. building on the formidable foundation he established with 2012s ghettos & gardens, justin invites listeners on a high-flying journey through a rich musical landscape. one of the label s most beloved characters, martin lets his effervescent personality shine through on these 13 tracks along with an unexpected range of emotions.

yes, we re back at it again with more eddie amador. after the success of house music and rise, we decided to diversify and go for a double a sided remix package with two distinctly different remixers. so please welcome ardalan and cj jeff to the yoshitoshi family! given ardalans propensity for booty basslines and infectious grooves, psycho x girlfriend seemed like the appropriate choice for the dirtybird affiliate. he flipped the tracked on its head by pumping it full of sub 100 hz frequencies, mental sound effects, and even a pinch of acid. the remix again shows this young gun s talent for creating bona fide bangers that keep the spirit of house alive. greek house don cj jeff took on 6am, the groovy and oft-overlooked 2006 wee hours anthem from amador. his remix bears a massive 808 kick that floors the mix (no pun intended) into overdrive. his simple, catchy melodies capture the classic yoshitoshi vibe beautifully.

it’s been some time since the last black jukebox edition came out. this time shir khan hits us with the 14th edition featuring onsra & bas roos. secret parisian project onsra came out of nowwhere with his debut track funky town‘ which was the best selling track on exploited last year - topping tons of charts. support did come from various djs such as disclosure, danny krivit, laurent garnier, dj sneak, luke solomon, adriatique, terranova, ardalan, ben pearce, friendly fires, xxxxy, miguel campbell, jaques renault, rainer trueby, dj t to mention a few. now he is back with 2 new joints - so good is a 112bpm loopbased disco house jam which reminds a bit of old soundstream records. other day is a real boogie joint. bas roos on the flip is a newbie and youngster from rotterdam with a fresh residency at toffler club keeping things smooth and mellow with searchin’ and don’t let go the disco limited collector s vinyl only. cop that before it sells out.

8 years after rainer weichhold s original bamboo release on great stuff recordings kickstarted his dj- and producer career it s now obviously time for a new version. and it also marks his very first own release on his label gold rcrds including rainer s own update for 2015 plus remixes from ardalan and sacha robotti, two of his favorite producers of the moment.
