sänger, produzent und allround talent seven davis jr setzt seine intergalaktische reise dort fort, wo er mit seinem debüt-album -universes- begann und veröffentlicht mit -dancing on the sun- eine neue 4-track ep auf ninja tune. -church- ist eine symbiose aus rave-synths, donnernden drums und gospel gesang - geradewegs an den dancefloor adressiert. der titeltrack und sein dazugehöriger remix-partner -see the light- sind perfekte beispiele für seven davis jrs eklektischen house, der mal rough und mal herzlich klingt. um die ep abzurunden, verlangsamt -spliffs- das tempo zu einem fetten, benebelten hip hop-flow. aufgenommen in l.a., kollaborierte seven mit seinen freunden silver tiger und atari josh an drums und bass, um den funk der tracks auf ein neues level zu heben.

very nice patrick adams & billy nichols produced boogie tune. original copies are very rare! huge record!
while being a rare patrick adams and billy nichols production, mary clark’s “take me i’m yours” has in recent years become one of the most celebrated disco tracks by contemporary deejays. this borderline gospel-disco gem has all the elements of a timeless disco cut, a driving bass line, powefully arranged strings and horns, but most importantly, a very soulful performance by mary clark. like many of peter brown’s “affliate” labels, little is known about them or the artists recorded. originaly released in 1980 on ‘la shawn’, it is rumored to have been no more than 200 records originally pressed, making this one of the most sought 12 inches among collectors.

ive been involved in two or three major genres that are very different from each other, says vaughn robert squire from canada, better known as prison garde, who is making his true romance debut with our trep009. about his melody ep, he says: its gospel-influenced house stuff. its in line with the last couple records that i put out, but i feel like its a little more mature and that the quality of the recording is a lot higher than anything else ive done as prison garde. i recorded it at the phi centre in montreal - its a beautiful cultural center in the old port. ango and i locked ourselves in there and did a live record on an ssl in a big room.

livejam records is proud and excited to announce the release of its 6th instalment. five years have past since the last release and despite the label’s long period of -inactivity-, its main characters’ productions have been consistently appearing in affiliated outlets such as relative, warm sounds, experiential learning, appointment and sperimentazioni sonore. 2015 marks the year of the long awaited comeback seeing founder emg delivering livejam’s peculiar sound along with label co-owner john swing. lucretio and marieu s undercover touch, in collaboration with emg, is also present in this dynamitic 12-. “awareness” is a four track ep designed for the dance floor: a blend of analogue-cut house and techno surefire party tracks permeated with soulful vocals and that characteristic raw feeling. limited hand numbered

chi-town’s al & tone are back with “volume 6”. the “praise” side features “mad dash”, a groovin’ gospel tune with a funky bassline and sweet horn riffs, plus the spaced out “my soul”. the “rejoice” side has the killer cut “u”, a sweet modern soul jam along with “worship” a sick lo-fi cut.

for their first collaborative effort, the outside agency and n-vitral have teamed up to deliver an intense sonic barrage that can only be described as the sound of an entire fleet of jet fighters taking off with kickdrums playing on top of it. the first track, sams gospel, is fierce and relentless while the second track, the ultimate hunter, is relentless and fierce. in summary: this is the musical equivalent of airplanes taking off and you need it.

sometimes you have just got to have a bigger bike ... eddie c steps up once again on the beloved red motorbike label, but this time we are taking a ride on a 12 inch wheeled model, rather than the usual dinky 7 inches! to be honest, when the grooves are this fat, the extra space is more than welcome. rusty halo is another expertly executed eddie c rewire, as a staple singers style gospel soul gem is re-imagined with a devilishly good acid line and some precision peaks and drops - just deadly! voyage voyage on the flip is a psychedelic soul stomper a la norman conners, extended, amended and taken on a tripped out ride by toronto s noodleman. another superb release, jump on board! ltd 2015 repress

ihre wurzeln liegen klar im soul und gospel, aber die große aufmerksamkeit bekam candi staton erst, als sie sich mitte der 70er dem disco öffnete. mit *nightlites* gibt es nun eines ihrer besten alben als wiederveröffentlichung. ihr insgesamt zehntes album erschien erstmals 1981 auf sugarhill records und wurde von dave crawford, mit dem staton schon ihren 70er-hit *young hearts run free* aufnahm, produziert. auf dem zuvor lange vergriffenen *nightlites* finden sich neben einer ballade (*hurry sundown*) und einer wunderschönen uptempo-nummer (*count on me*) vor allem songs für den dancefloor. mit *suspicious minds* gibt es zudem ein dance-cover eines altbekannten elvis-klassikers. der vinyl-lp liegt die cd-version des albums bei.

two pieces of snarling filter house from nyc heavyweights robbie busch aka dj mcboing boing - record dealer to the stars, digger extraordinaire, & dj of sweaty underground parties around the world, and josh dunn - one part of the sorely missed 100 limousines, and one third of the holy trinity that put on new york s legendary foreal people party. for two guys so deeply immersed in the rich history of urban dance music, from the blues & gospel through deep disco, soul, chicago and detroit sounds, you could be forgiven for expecting to hear a rich homage to the sounds of the past. instead we get the future ghost of ron hardy playing the record backwards on a janky turntable with a quarter for a counterweight and fucking shit up in every conceivable way. these two are chiefly concerned with moving things forward, having some fun, and taking no prisoners along the way. golf channel every time !

2015 repress ...walk on in, walk on in, walk on in…. these are the words you ve no doubt heard reverberating around clubs and festivals all year. the man behind this gospel-powered beast is none other than welsh-born, berlin residing doc daneeka. walk on in will be released on 4th november on limited vinyl and digital, with the slightly darker but equally demolition friendly b-side trife pt ii. support so far from jamie xx, joy orbison, oneman, jd twitch, will bankhead and panorama bar stalwarts nick hopner and nd baumecker.

having previously plied their wares on is it balearic and los grandes, spanish nu-balearic sorts two mamarrachos pop up on another suitably horizontal imprint, dependable leeds label joe s bakery. there style is sunkissed by druggy, with opener al andalus offering an exotic, chugging blend of foreboding, lowslung grooves and arabic synthesizer melodies. super disco dancer delves deep into the box marked experimental analogue electronic disco, with heady, spaced-out synthesizers sprawling all over a typically atmospheric, cosmic groove. let feel higher is, arguably, the most balearic of the three, with warm acoustic guitars and delayladen gospel vocal samples creating a suitably toasty, glassy-eyed mood

the rawest, diy gospel ever resurrected. the west side of chicago was just an annex of the deep rural south for gene autry cash and his flock of recent old dominion transplants looking to cut their fiery, unadorned sounds indelibly to plastic. his jade label absorbed those god-fearing artists: family bands with wailing kids and barely amateur groups sourced from local parishes, infused with reverberations of country and western and deep soul. glinting authenticity shines from every track like a diamond in the unpolished rough—each group completely convinced that salvation comes through song.

pitched somewhere between the molasses gloop of acid tracks and his more gospel moments, pierre s phantasy club was a vocal project that, without reaching the heights of some of his more momentous wild pitch productions and remixes, still showed his versatility. i ll put the bug in you it ll make you stay, i ll plant it it ll never go away. we believe you, pierre. repressed & remastered for 2015 & featuring all original label artwork, with permission from trax records.

now already almost a year has gone by since “inspiration”, the collaboration between jah wobble and singer pj higgins has come out on sonar kollektiv. with “chaingang (remixes)” we get a further renewal of one of the eight tracks off the album. for instance utrecht, netherlands based multi-instrumentalist and producer pitto gets down to work to morph the song into an eight-minute spheric techno extravaganza. some sort of a teaser for his upcoming album on sonar kollektiv later this year (although it will sound completely different). also releasing an album on sonar kollektiv in 2015 is producer marlow from weimar. his voodoo version of “chaingang” draws nearer to the original and incorporates the jubilee style gospel chanting to a hypnotically impelling rhythm. at the right time at the right place this remix will cause outmost frenzy on the dancefloor.

vermillion lands with an inter-stellar remix package. french techno connoisseur agoria leads us on a minimal, spaced out trip through shining synths and swift vocal echoes. acclaimed house maverick and hot creations head honcho jamie jones has been closing his dj sets for the last few weeks with his own remix. its bouncing, old school house tip bounding beneath bright gospel turns of phrase, approaching near classic status with arms aloft receptions on the dancefloor. and finally berlin’s deniz kurtel, who pulls her penchant for polyrhythmic percussion to the fore, casting sweet tribal grooves across an original surely destined to become a dancefloor anthem this summer.

after bringing tears to glass eyes across the globe with the lovelorn beauty of oslo, nev cottee returns to aficionado with this 10inch beauty of spring promise. rather than the balladeer of his previous outing, this time round cottee stands inspired with the arcane knowledge of a prophetic troubadour, kaleidoscopic robes flowing behind him in the desert wind. at one with the cosmos, nev speaks the gospel from the heart, those warm vocals riding the swelling wave of soaring strings, frazzled guitar and undulating synth. driven by the percussive rumble of steady backbeat and lilting bongos, if i could tell you shimmers with the sun-blazed psychedelia of laurel canyon and the transcendent frequencies of summer madness before collapsing with a cascade of keys into a harmonic ocean all of its own. backed with the unadulterated healing frequencies of an instrumental version, this is another modern classic brought to you by manchesters finest selectors.

save thyself ep lautet der titel des debütwerks von clarence clarity, das über 37 adventures (u.a. the streets, dfa1979) erscheinen wird. im gegensatz zu seinem künstlernamen ist die geschichte um clarence clarity alles andere als klar. ein musiker, der sich im mantel des schweigens hüllt und gerade durch das rätselhafte auftreten für große aufmerksamkeit sorgt. genau diese undurchsichtige und mysteriöse attitüde spiegelt sich auch in der musik wider. die vier songs auf der *save thyself ep* sind nur schwer einzuordnen.
