vinyl only / coloured vinyl !!! think of deep house and it isn’t all that often that the casts it’s attention on spain, a country more famous for it’s hedonistic forays into the tougher side of dance music, but all that started to change a few years back when above smoke (or javier to his mum) and brother jose aka dubbyman set up the rather superb deep explorer music (label of the month in the current issue of resident advisor). impressed as we were, we asked javier to provide a demo for us, the results of that you now have in your hands..

yore returns with yet another deep master piece. javier alvarez, a madrid based producer and proprietor (along with his younger brother dubbyman) of the underground label deep explorer music, brings his relaxed above smoke sound to the yore imprint. in the first of four warm and atmospheric mood pieces, awfully drapes dense synthetic winds over a deliciously grooving, bass prodded deep house pulse. get down does exactly that with five funky minutes of rhodes chords, disco hi hats, and synth swirls, a percolating bass line lends the track a propulsive charge, while crowd voices give the cut a party vibe. on the b sideÆs ôthe fixö javier scatters chopped fragments of the spoken line, i ve got a lot of shit to say and i cant say it all in one day, i cant say it all on one piece of tape, over a funk house groove, after which dubbyman offers variations on the theme in his remix of the track, dubbymans version digs deeper into the cuts bass science and warms the tunes slinky pulse with hand percussion and claps. old school in its embrace of classic house sounds, above smokes ep is tailor made for those who like their material laid back, groove centered, and funky.

vinyl only !! come and spend a night at the brand new loop hotel...! its a one-ofa-kind international spot where quality, infectious house and techhouse music is piped into every room. so exclusive that its visitors wish to remain anonymous, we are left only to imagine who might be behind the project - yet its clear the calibre of the producer involved is very high indeed! based on the concept of a two track partnership, a solid state jacking groove is introduced, building up a musical statement with a combination of rich analogue equipment to create the vibe. the partner track then, removes all the previously explored musical elements, keeping the beats intact, and builds a new track again from the foundations up. room 101 is a tooly, playful house jam, whose strong opening beats provide the basis for a stylish array of synth themes, classic house organs and tweaked out acidic stabs to unfold. keeping the beats then, of course, room 102 takes things down a darker route, with a more reduced family of elements describing a heady, even more acidic late night moment. each track complements its brother remarkably well, and becomes engaging to hear how the emotions, flow and vibe are changed, while maintaining the same functional percussive elements in both tracks. watch out for this new series of releases, that explores the endless possibilities of hidden grooves locked inside the mind of their producer... ready to be expressed on vinyl! welcome to loop hotel.

already a mainstay in the scene with admired releases on brother label poker flat, and of course connaisseur, patrick chardronnet returns with a wonderful 2 track ep on audiomatique. a delightfully trippy, post-minimal adventure, ‚piper‘ raises the brow for chardronnet, dropping the big room synths this time in favour of a very organic, low-slung addictive groove. sparse, tricky percussion underpins the headsdown late night vibe, as a drifting ensemble of mystic vocals and haunting horns unfolds over 11 minutes. enchanting, mesmeric and deeply spaced, this reduced-percussive foray explores chardronnet‘s more hypnotic side... a priceless cut of of hybrid house from a modern master. on the b side the driving, textural chimes of ‚dropout‘ ensnare the listener into another beautiful and mysterious world. solid-state, bass-led percussion and crisply-cut percussive fx remain subdued whilst an epic, swirling synth landscape weaves its dreamy tale. suggesting moments of real drama, yet all the while maintaining an addictive, slow burning vibe, its a an amazing journey into this producer‘s remarkable, inimitable sonic world.

royal bangs are from knoxville. that in itself is a statement: theres not much that comes from knoxville, tennessees third largest city, and even less that gets away. quentin tarantino made it out, but the last citys mayor was allegedly so desperate to escape he now works as the us ambassador in poland. cormac mccarthy moved there as a child, of course, but by the time he d written his second book he was long gone. only johnny knoxville advertises his geographical roots, and quite clearly hes a glutton for punishment. so while just one of royal bangs currently has a passport, that doesnt mean they dont know that royal bangs is their ticket out of town.

again four tracks that will surely make you swing. our favorite has always been my brother, a peak time disco jazz cut, which has made the disco floors erupt on many occasions. the original version of my father continues along those lines. off ramp and worldless narrative both are cool boogie tracks, which make up for another winner from nebraska. for fans of rick wade, theo parrish, trus me et al.

aint no stopping us now. even if you might feel that the release pressure is on, we just cannot help to put out these gems (at least, we think thats what they are). what you hold in your hands (or on your laptop) is neo-house of the finest order. rhein-main kid robert dietz (cécille, be chosen etc.) was so kind to share his definition of h-muzik with us. to put it in a nutshell: >forward snipping< slices and cuts some nice vocal bits in a true ear candy way. even my brother gets goose bumps. >witness< sounds like a lost k.o.t. track resp. them being on the right track again and to round it all up, >faber mix< is a disc jockey tool that brings you from a to b or even z. and please, always keep paul >trouble< anderson in mind: a house is where you live in and a garage is where you park your car. loop d loop! already played by everyone…ha, ha, ha

freaky cut up styled techno disco, very own unique hrdvsion (aka nathan jonson, brother of mathew jonson) sound...

third album young desire, again captures the fervour witnessed on lapkos live shows. taking in themes of vulnerability and anxiety beneath hardened exteriors, aching feelings, pressure and confusion, the album is a mental trip back to the schoolyard, where tough guy antics and leather armor cant hide the convulsions underneath. theres new depth and dynamic in the bands expression, fitting for a gang of seasoned rock musicians. these two art school dropouts and metal worker have come a long way from harjavalta (though they still gather there to rehearse and play) and have evolved as a band and as friends.

napiheds out of detroit are reggie dokes, maurice herd (aka pirahna head) and craig huckaby (brother of mike huckaby), who came up with an exciting, live instrumentated blend of brazil flavoured funk vibes a la azymuth or early earth, wind & fire and earthy detroit house beats... limited repress
