nachdem der junge venezuelanische produzent durch produktionen für u.a. kanye west, fka twigs oder björk aufgefallen war und sein kantiges debütalbum *xen* von kritikern weltweit für seine sonderbaren und teils aggressiven widersprüche gefeiert wurde, handelt *mutant*, sein jüngstes album, von sinnlichkeit und spontaneität als möglichkeit einer flucht aus der starrheit der verhältnisse. das album feiert das chaos, mutationen, transformationsprozesse, zwischenzustände. deformation und zerstörung werden zu elementaren momenten von identität. das artwork stammt erneut von seinem freund und langzeit-kollaborateur jesse kanda.

theres a reason kai alces name consistently comes up when the topic is exceptional house music. the ndatl label boss remix of the dangerfeel newbies * what am i here for* takes the soulful number to heights beyond the originals already heady groove. j piccola sings with a perspective thats like bopping through the city, skyscrapers above giving dimension to the groundwork so necessary for love and progression. his vocals match the pace of propelling keyboards by chris irvin and delvynw. saxophone by quinn mason adds an element that in alces distinctive hands becomes a part of all things classic house: deep, melodic, and ultimately, free. thats particularly true of the kzr’s late night mix. it harkens the wee hours with a shuffle, leading keys and pinpoint bass. the piano instrumental puts keys front and center, with a few jazzy chords that recall the hippest, dopest brunch you’ve ever attended. the entire project is very much atlanta-grown, representing its strong, interconnected music and art scene. all the key contributors are based in the city, from alce and the dangerfeel newbies, to acclaimed visual artist radcliffe bailey, who created the album art, and tastemaking graphic artist steve deniro, who designed the album layout. after small promo run in japan the gem gets a full worldwide release with alternate mixes and kai alcés bonus distinctive remix of * swingin with the new jack* previously unavailable

transmitting from new york (via toronto), jex aka jex opolis has so far been known as the man behind and in front of the good timin label. infamous for its boogie burner bombs to quote discogs member kutter karlo jex, trades his label for running back and a shifts the gear. up with the tempo and down with the lights, there still is a variety of styles. studio e is named after an after hours spot in edmonton that the record s author partied at in the early 2000s, also sounds like something ivan smagghe would have enjoyed at that point in time. laxmi tool is referencing classic tribal house and a street in pune, where jex wifes grandma bought the drum used in this track. on the flip, harpa brags and boasts with its trampoline bass line, while la casa surfs some timpani waves.

after his first ep for l.i.e.s. last year, tzusing is back with his impeccably produced style of industrial and ebm influenced machine grinding cuts.
the tracks on this ep represent the climate of clubbing yesteryear when it was normal for djs to play such things as ministry, front 242, or nitzer ebb next to a disco track next to a breakbeat track and so forth and to say these tracks could be heard somewhere like medusas would not be off base. driving, engaging and downright gnarly we can only hope these sounds foreshadow things opening back up on the floor as time pushs forward.

highlife welcomes the return of alma negra! anyone who bothers paying attention to these press releases will note that we have recently been comparing tracks to other artists we admire, or go down the celebrity endorsement route. this time round well do neither. instead we will say, maloya is the first record we’ve listened to 3 times in a row upon receiving it. it has provoked id requests every time weve played it and our dear friend susie crome claims its one of the best records shes ever heard. that’s no mean feat, susie is well versed on the party front. see for yourself.

out of rome, sofatalk soars high on this ep, feeling out the difference between a lifetime on earth or one really cool moment above it. the title track breathes and evolves via a series of flourishes on the playful side of things - this one is no beard stroker. cloudy soul keeps the optimism and front foot action rolling with an excursion slightly to the deeper end without ever fully taking the plunge. wrapping it up, on reflection is a tight little rhythm-box-driven number that takes you by surprise, transplanting you from the floor to the lower middle stratosphere without you realising. japanese producer 9dw then turns it into a hot stepper of its own, keeping the energy up there but differentiating the bounce.

pablo and shoey return just in time for festival season with 4 new bits for the front of your box. e-man groove is a massive disco-rock jam that could have been sprung from the minds of dem idjut boys, with sympathy for the devil style percussion and wild guitar riffing driving the whole thing. blazing sunshine, meanwhile, is a funky, hammond organ led version of let the sunshine in, a guaranteed hands in the air moment when dropped at the right time. disco treat is more of a modern floor-burner, closer to straight production edit with a bouncing bassline and all manner of whacked out disco sounds in the mix, not to mention breakdowns for days. rounding off the package is some classic funky soul breaks - the lads tear a chunk off bettye lavettes soul tambourine to make play it, break it on down! as sampled on stezos golden era hip hop rocker to the max.

the nose of clarity (one + two) is obscure and mystical techno with a hypnotism rhythm construct. part one is coming for the long nights in the clubs and bringing darkness dance moves. part two is more deeper and darker with a slowly trippy and layered loop sound. on the flip side the obsession (from don«t«be on acid ) dwntmpos rework is downtempo sound in perfection. the rhythm is going straight in the head and bring the deepness with a slowly pitched vocal in front of all understanding. the second rework is more dub influenced with warm chords, delays and echos from a other galaxy. the vinyl is hand stamped and numbered and comes with a a4 graphic art print. mastering by xergio c—rdoba at eternal midnight mastering studio madrid, spain
