for its 4th release, malka tuti is welcoming j.a.k.a.m. to its ever-expanding family. born in tokyo japan, j.a.k.a.m. has been been one of the leading figures developing the music scene in japan from the early 90s as a dj, producer and a band member. his wide variety of musical influences ranges from house, hip hop, drum&bass, techno, reggae, jazz, rock and world music. with combining these different styles of inspirations and tradition, he creates the most unique time and space on the dance floor, a kind of fusion of early tribal house (recording live instruments in the studio), world music with a pinch of shamanic spiritual vibes. on his ep for malka tuti he delivers 2 original epic tunes, followed by a smokey dub version by versatile records boss gilb r and a total dance-floor smashing remix by aussie prodigy - dreems.

we finished 2015 with a six-track jumbo ep from borrowed identity and thought we d repeat the same trick for 2016, though this time with originals from okayama-based producer keita sano. eye begins with keep an eye out, pt.2, a propulsive song that sounds like a lost contender for the knight rider theme. own signal keeps things dark, but with a spartan bleakness. the side finishes with smoker, another manic cut that ll give you chills. the flip finds keita exploring brighter sounds without losing that industrial, jagged edge. trmk is essentially a beat track that ll ignite any dance floor and fix is a herky-jerky ditty that ll get you stomping around the club like a possessed reveler. the 12inches cherry on top is think twice, a funky ass-shaker that centers around a crackly sample of crowd noise, a chopped-up disco vocal, and bouncy bass. a fiery finale for this hedonistic party.

three amazing disco edits

mr scruff & ge-ology remixes
manchester s very own mr scruff and nyc crate digger ge-ology remix moscow s lay-far! now that s what we call a truly international release. it s kind of a dream release for us at local talk as both scruff and ge-ology have been on our we wanna get them on local talk plastic list for quite some time. starting off we find scruff going for a slight disco(ish) rub where analogue synths bumps around with a dark but musical basement feel...but still jazzy! on the flip our man ge-ology who is riding high on the hype from his release on theo parrish s sound signature label goes on a deep and spaced out electronic house venture that is so edgy it hurts. its that good good shit basically...enjoy!

let’s continue the edit series with a first ep of sacha mambo by is own. sacha is the boss of macadam mambo, that he runs alongside guillaume des bois, they’ve released together a 2xlp last year as macadam mambo dj’s. here sacha has digged into his collection to put out 4 edits in the “devil” vibe he loves: 2 floor burners, one german euro-disco, one scandic new wave style, and 2 dark weirdo killers with crazy vocals in a more italo way. guillaume will be on the next ep with 4 completely different cuts, surprise! but for the moment let the devil comes into your house!

stamp records delve into the past for their next release, giving a new lease of life to one of swayzak s least characteristic and most sought-after tracks. swayzak are true heroes of the uk underground, having clocked numerous seminal releases in the late 90 s and early 00 s straddling the grey area between house and techno. disco dub plate volume 2 - originally out in 2000 - was an obvious anomaly in the duo s discography, that has managed to forge a path of its own amongst a completely different crowd to swayzak s usual disciples. one cut from that ep, stronger love , is a carefully arranged marriage between a certain pair of quintessential aor darlings and the soul voice of the 80 s. can we be more specific? no can do...it shouldn t really work, but somehow it does! it s been caned by many a balearic dj over the years, including mark seven who included it in his mythical originals compilation, where it holds its ground amongst other balearic heavyweights. as an added bonus for this 2016 edition we re treated to two brand new mixes ! frank agrario teases in bits of the original making for his chunkier version that is aimed squarely at the dancefloor, while brun (1/2 of swayzak) delivers a bang up-to-date dub that keeps its elements to the bare minimum, building into a deep hypnotic house chugger.

studio barnhus love affair with lukas nystrand von unge continues with his second ep for the label, a collection of six tracks recorded between 2010 and 2016. from a1s sturdy take em-to-church organs, through a goulash of the sweetest, roughest lil’ house jams you ever heard, all the way to b3’s cut-up disco jubilation, this record is a perfect example of why the sounds coming out of tensta tape academy remain so endlessly fascinating to us. love story to be continued shortly - in the meantime: go grab your copy real quick, deejay!

tensnake makes a welcome return on wax with his first release of 2016 desire via his own imprint. on the a side, tensnake brings us a slow and low 112bpm dancefloor burner. written during a travel to a very warm and sandy place, desire is a dreamy groove with hazy vocals, airy guitar and exotic synths that will stick to you like glue. the flipside, fantasma, is a trippy acid disco number infused with oriental influences. flirting with balearic and psychedelia, this record sees tensnake going off the beaten path and sets the tone for what should be a great year in music for him and his label true romance.

1979 classic produced by quincy jones! incl dont stop til you get enough, off the wall, get on the floor and rock with you!

jun kamoda is a producer, dj and mc from tokyo. new to the label but a friend of the party, jun came to mister sunday in nyc last year and ended up hanging around for a few days afterward, digging for records and sharing bowls of spaghetti with the boys. when he returned to japan, he got to working on the music we now present to you on the clay ep. this is jun blending loopy, psychedelic disco stylings with chugging drum work for three party-ready cuts. they’ve been chopping up our dance floors months, we’re excited to hear them do the same to yours.
