occasionally jay haze will take some time away from his productions on contexterrior to release music with other labels like leftroom and desolate, or he ll provide a mix for fabric. here, in 2014, jay haze debuts on soul clap - and brings some friends with him. these friends are signor andreoni, an italian producer that s not released a solo record since 2010 (his last was with haze) and the unknown jordy lockruf. -take a dip- is a new-school cut of retrospective italo with those moaning synths perfect for a rimini dancefloor, while the two joints with lockruf provide one clunky, slide guitar twanging disco jam and a shuffling house cut that ever so lightly verges on electro swing - but not too much!

its fairly safe to say that jay bliss is on fire at the moment. now he takes time out from his recently launched stomping grounds imprint to follow up on his 2013 appearance with och on the remix ep. here the warm, punchy 9 minute a-side creates a highly seductive floor-tension. flip the disc over for two modern takes on minimalism, possibly paying homage to studio one or basic channel with persistent rhythms, undertones of original dub, shaken and stirred with plenty off bliss magic.

ovatow drops 3 extremely deep journeys into the fog of endless re-verb and delay applications.flame and a thought are 2 electro-techno tracks that are both build on randomly step-sequenced square bass lines, raiser sharp snares and dubbed out melodies drowned in layers of breathing dusty tape delays. visitation dub iii is a different version of an ovatow track, earlier released as part of the viewpoints chapter one compilation, but this time stripped down to the core bass line, reminiscing bcs presence. the release is dedicated to the loss of south rotterdam based dj juvenile jay who played an important roll in the early dj career of frustrated funks head honcho klen, the man behind the ovatow moniker. very much recommended!

*turn me on* by jay w. mcgee is the third release in a series of sought after boogie, disco and modern soul re-issues on légère recordings. the original 12inch vinyl single appeared on the tiny canadian indie label love productions in 1980 and is immensely hard to find these days. *turn me on* is an unusual production for its time, grooving along unbelievably deep in a spartanic arrangement, and fuelled by vocals which are not too far away from sylvesters iconic style of mixing soul, disco, funk and jazz.

ms. smooth socal soul meets mr. nocal dirtybird swagger and they have a baby together. that baby is justin jay and at 19 years old he is already making his 3rd appearance on dirtybird. i have a feeling this is justin jays breakout record. the a-side static is at 119 bpm and will sweep you up then rip your pants off. but even when you get hit with the massive bassline, an old school anchor stays intact. waves b-side has a classic deep dirtybird feeling, with tuned 808s and a surprising melodic element showing off the sweeter side of this up and coming young gun. justin jay has more potential than anyone i have heard in a while and if he continues to play like he has been lately, he has a long dj career ahead of him as well.

adam jay’s “mediastinum ep” is the product of a near death experience turned into an opportunity to create. after experiencing acute trauma to the left lung, the artist was diagnosed with pneumomediastinum, the sounds featured in the production of this record were recorded in the intensive care unit at community east hospital in indianapolis. “inward” is a raw, stripped down stomper filled with anxiety and a pace of purpose. the a2 track, “terrible precision” brings an atmosphere of tension and darkness that drives the ep forward. the synth groove of “chatter” sits atop the recordings of medical monitoring equipment intended to alarm the listener. the unsettling dischord created is contrasted by a powerful low end groove. “concert of the machines” comes with an addictive half time broken beat groove. the warm, effected electric piano work plays off more alert sounds from the hospital room creating a chilled out vibe that is ideal for closing a set. already support from justin berkovi, nigel richards, gayle san, tony rohr, andrei morant, and brian kage.

jay bliss is our first ever romanian signing. there has been a influx of superb romanian producers over the last years including a:rpia:r and the trend continues with bliss and his hermanndstadt collective. developing a style sitting somewhere between house and techno, with strong detroit roots he has released for the likes of immigrant, hudd trax and diynamic. pluto has been a staple of ralph lawsons sets for a while now, its a smooth and crisp tech house roller that recalls classic 2020 releases gone by, especially those of carl finlows. on the flip weve turned to skudge to give us their own take on pluto. weve been fans of skudge since they dropped their first single, and have had us transfixed with their excursions into pure analogue, loopy, dub techno ever since. their version of pluto is a different beast to the original, all stuttering percussion and menacing strings, a perfect counterbalance to the original version

vinyl only – limited copies! all inn represents jay bliss in the 8th round of black series. kokkoo for coco puffs gives a repetitive hypnosis to the dancefloors in more than 13 minutes. after the long tracker trip on the flipside war of the worlds comes front of us with dry and housey rhythms filled with funk, and mission control closes the line with its perfect toolistic sound for main-time djsets
