keysound recordings are excited to present three very unique cuts from scratcha dva x gage: “flytnurse,” “piffd” and “flytnurse (darqmix)”. dark, euphoric, weighty, and somewhat restless, they defy obvious categorisation. gage has made himself a formidable reputation by releasing some of the most forward-thinking darker dance music in the last three years, predominantly on the ever-quality crazy legs imprint. “telo” was a standout dancefloor moment, equal parts impactful and experimental, quickly followed up by the -mercury ep,- -2017 stay paro- and his banger-collab with kevin jz prodigy, -bad bitch.- scratcha dva first appeared on keysound 66 releases ago with the explosive dread grime anthem “bullet a go fly” featuring badness, riko, flowdan and killa p. but in truth he has a lengthy production back catalogue both before and after that 12”, with albums on hyperdub, his new “interludes” project and a track on the recent landmark kode9 & burial fabriclive 100

2019 repress - this year kevin saunderson, ann saunderson and paris grey, collectively known as the legendary band inner city, release >future<, their first entirely new material since parting company in 2001, written and produced in collaboration with another detroit legend, namely kenny larkin. the track marks a welcome return for a group that combined the tough, futuristic grooves of the detroit scene with the vocal energy of r&b and gospel and helped to define the period in which house and techno moved from underground phenomena to top 10 material, paving the way for hundreds of dance hits to come. >future< is devastatingly catchy and highly emotional, exhibiting all the soulful flavours and qualities you would expect from these celebrated producers and singers. masterfully re-edited by carl craig this track ascends to a higher place whilst kenny larkin is on remix duties, beautifully reworking the original into a techno infused monster with intoxicating staccato vocals.

this album is huge and it covers all the golden age groove styles : boogaloo, soul, disco, boogie, funk... but the music flows in the hands of a gifted modern producer. bruno ? patchworks? hovart plays bass, keyboards, computers... handling with love all composition, programming, arrangements, vocals... with brilliant vocal featurings by silky juan rozoff, brit-soul legend noel mc koy at his best, high-voltage divas ange & janice... and the funkysoul brother bruno ?patchworks? hovart himself on the mic... it?s pure funkiness ! beware, ?the empire strikes back? and is kicking... so get up & dance !

straight movin minimalism! the ep kicks off with >abstract<, which is the name of it. the track is driven by a strong baseline accompanied by an analogue synthesizer surface, joined by constantly shifting percussions and open hat. a-sided >jacksons< program, number two on wax, follows a jerkin hi-hat groove that shines over the whole track which never ends and injects a dance catharsis.

after his previous banger love saves the day got hands in the air on dance floors all over the world, well, it turns out that casbah 73 was just warming up.

silverhoejd with axel e is a tasteful result of what can happen when a 16-year-old producer from a swedish small town manages to settle within the colossal edm genre. he has created music that hundreds of thousands of people dance themselves sweaty when axwell/ingrosso, martin garrix and others put it in their usb and in front of recurring times at the world s largest festivals. but living in a city that has been colored by decades of more experimental underground scenes and especially in recent years a very strong ambient scene puts their footprints even in a young producers music creation. silverhöjd is a profound melodic houseware that is mixed by as much imaginative ambient. on the single we hear two versions, one more dedicated dance floor and the other more adapted for quieter moments.

never underestimate the power of a good bassline. mark du mosch certainly doesn’t. this veteran from the harbor city of rotterdam let’s his vicious bass line creep up on you from behind on 202 ac ra. a dark and jacking club belter with clear chicago roots. the five track ep the heavens may be his debut on sohaso, du mosch has been releasing music for over fourteen years on a variety of respected underground labels, such as moustache, dekmantel and royal oak. his versatile style draws on sounds that evoke strong mental imagery and a sense of eternity, which clearly shows on the introspective resonance delay (she) on the b-side. in which a melancholic melody is supported by muffled slow motion beats. the beautiful artwork on the heavens ep is by joost stokhof, an amsterdam based graphic designer who is known for his love for detail. which makes him perfectly suited for du mosch’ subtle and well crafted dance tunes. in a normal world you would open your ep with the title track. du mosch chooses to close with it. the heavens stays true to it’s name. a harp like melody that washes ashore as foam from a greyblue northsea that calmed down after the storm. heaven indeed
