jan felix may gehört zu einer generation, die keine stilistischen berührungsängste kennt. neue verbindungen zu kreieren, statt an alten abgrenzungen festzuhalten, lautet die devise. dabei zeigt may, ende 1993 geboren, kompositorische und spielerische präzision, innovativem gestaltungswillen und humor. schon mehrfach wurde er ausgezeichnet, beispielsweise 2016 bei der internationalen jazzwoche burghausen, wo er den solisten-wettbewerb gewann und mit seiner band den zweiten platz belegte. zwar zählt frank zappa nicht direkt zu mays vorbildern, eine gewisse verwandtschaft in der geisteshaltung lässt sich aber erahnen. etwa im gewitzten mix aus klassischen und modernen einflüssen, die bei jan felix may von jazz über elektronische musik bis zu impressionismus und progressive rock reichen. der junge pianist und komponist weiß, wie man ausgeklügelte musik so attraktiv gestalten kann, dass sie neben hartgesottenen spezialisten auch viele andere offene ohren aus unterschiedlichen generationen erreicht. -red messiah-, jan felix mays fantastisches debütalbum, klingt frisch und ungewohnt anders. das album erscheint auf 180 gramm vinyl.
a new my rules release from the always on-point justin van der volgen featuring two previously unreleased remixes that showcase his varied and unique style. the a-side sees him take both the original and spencer parker remixes found on the the 2016 shit robot single lose control and through editing, blending and layering of fx concocts one serious bomb of a mega mix. think classic dj bootleg remixes on legendary labels like razormaid, disconet and hot tracks. the b-side is an altogether different affair where justin dispenses with all of the original music and only keeps the vocal from felix dickinson s 2014 acid jam burning flame. what comes out the other end sounds like lee perry and murk made a tune once they got back from a sleazy ny after hours. early plays and support from gerd janson, john talabot, tim sweeney. vinyl only.

felix has been working his studio hard this past summer and caned out a whole bunch of awesomeness! we are more than pleased to welcome him back on dirt crew this year after his excellent new ep on bobby donny and the buster jam for our deep love 2018 compilation
frits wentink s bobby donny label welcomes reykjavík producer felix leifur for more lush house explorations across four new cuts. the producer last released on this label in 2017 and his new one finds him again exploring deep and organic grooves, rough drums and jazzy pads. the tarleton appreciation club has real, live sounding drums making for a spaced out house cut coloured with dreamy pads and muffled vocal samples that have an aching beauty. parts is a brilliantly jazzy jam with bright chord vamps, wooden hits and clipped vocals making for a track somewhere between the styles of moodymann and max graef. robbi is another atmospheric track with pads and intimate melodies lingering in the air above choppy drum work that makes you want to wiggle. closing things down is juledreng, another perfectly roughed up bit of house with saturated chords and tons of reverb drawing you into its cosy little world.
frits wentink s bobby donny label returns with a new ep from icelandic producer felix leifur. it s not often someone other than the boss releases on this label so you know this new one is quality indeed. leifurwho also works as david & hjalti and davíð sveinn bjarnason has two solid eps to his name on dirt crew. they show him to be a producer of succulent deep house and atmospheric prone beats. across four cuts here he offers jazzy vibes, organic percussive patterns and authentic styles filled with warmth and soul. opener unidentified blues is a loose jumbled of hi hats and cymbals, rhodes chords and shuffling drums that could well come from the studio of a certain moodymann. they are alive and enriched with real feeling from start to finish. hampton is another tender fusion of deep kick drums, tape echo and curious melodies all tied together by jostling groove that is beautifully incidental and unhurried. contact then brings more proper jazz drums to the table, with distant sax sounds and closely miced hits and spaces of cymbal all feeling loose and free as they suck you into their world. last of all, universal rim picks up the pace with a more rooted house groove, freeform percussion and wooden hits and trilling, echo drenched melodies all making for an intoxicating cut
two time grammy nominated felix da housecat kickstarts his new label with three original tracks showcasing his timeless production. founders of filth volume one features the legendary jamie principle, who found fame as frankie knuckles vocalist and more recently starring in the 2017 gorillaz album. montreal dj and producer clarian also features on the debut release, concluding the stellar line-up.
special source operations est un collectif crée en 2015 composé de djs, producteurs, graphistes et performers video venant de l ensemble de la france (brest - lyon - paris ..).pour ce tout premier ep felix et bastoon 1000 se partagent la galette en variant entre house edit et une face plus expérimentale. ils ont pour but d apporter une nouvelle couleur au monde de la musique électronique en ayant un but commun: le groove !
new kid felix leifur made quiet a stir with his debut release on dirt crew last year. the icelandic juggernaut comes from the striving reykjavik music scene and is working closely with the lagaffe tales guys on building a new northern house empire. since his debut hes been working hard on creating a more varied vision of his unique lo slung hip hop approach to house music. with this ep he offers six new outings that have one thing in common, very warm and moody sounds ranging from disco through jazz and hip hop. were certain that he will continue to further cement his name in the coming years and were looking forward to working with him on plenty of exciting projects. opening with eyelids, felix delivers a rough, deep and dark house cut with broken beats, warped piano loops and twisted sampling throughout. classy has a smoky jazz feeling, kept tight with clever beat programming while evolving around a catchy sax motif. our personal fav is the title track, in general, a stunning broken beat house jam, smooth and loose, with swirling keys and a funk flavoured bass. the b-side begins with midwinter, a dance floor gem on a straight up junket. its deep, forward moving and bass driven, much like his track feels like that featured on our deep love compilation in 2016. yet another highlight for us is apollo, theres not many records out there that sound quite like this, thoroughly warped and contorted, depraved strings and a hypnotising rhodes arc and strain until the bass drops and it all falls in place psychedelic beauty! he closes with mine, a dope lo fi hip hop beat that casually wraps our ears, an ice cold soul infused piece.
introducing felix leifur, dirt crews latest discovery, an all new, raw and savvy talent from reykjavik, iceland. reykjavik has a population of just over 120.000, so the disco, hip hop and soul sampling, house music community that felix rolls with is pretty tight knit, giving him a unique and inspired perspective on the sound. remixing is friend of the label, manchesters hidden spheres.
WHISTLING IN TONGUES / TIDES (TODD TERJE & CARL CRAIG REMIXES)
12 Inch 16.04.16
two of composts all time classics. these are rewind (!) tuuuuunes ..... by two of composts moulded, long time, levelled out artists: beanfield and felix laband with the stunning and heavy influential remixes by carl craig and todd terje.
both tracks were played and sometimes still in the box of nearly all top djs like sven väth, dixon, danny krivit, moodymann, maceo plex, michel cleis, dj deep, ricardo villalobos, amé, laurent garnier, solomun, jamie jones, nina kravitz, kerri chandler, jazzanova, gilles peterson, move d and hundreds more.....
here s something to stir the loins of any discerning disco dj: a studio hook-up between veteran producer felix dickinson (fresh from his much-loved outing on futureboogie recordings), horse meat disco and one-time dfa man (and renowned multi-instrumentalist) marcus marr. there s an additional contributor, too: a mystery (presumably big-name) vocalist whose talk-box heavy delivery sits somewhere between prince, george clinton and pharrell. the track itself is something of a summer anthem in the making - an immaculately produced p-funk jam with the additional benefit of a shuffling, house-friendly groove. no details on how many copies have been pressed, either way, you d be well advised to snap up a copy while you still can.
is it balearic drop a 10 inch slice of acid house perfection from one of the true masters of the genre in foolish felix dickinson! *ousana* grows slowly over a driving house beat as warm synth pads and synth leads take the track along nicely with a subtle acid line until the bassline drops. a vocal refrain joins the groove seductively cooing *i want to take you home* over the acid layers that develop in deeply hypnotic fashion. straight into the basement. on the flip coyote take the tempo down, bring out the percussion and create a balearic acid stomper. bleeps dubbed out vocals all swirl around the percussive rhythms then the acid line drops subtle and reminiscent of a certain acid house classic. early doors or at the beach bar for this mix.
felix lenferink follows up last years bouree ep with the next part of the series, bouree scene two for fourth wave.
calling in vocalist loes, felix moves from jazzy broken garage on third bouree through to driving atmospheric techno on fourth bouree. third bouree then gets remixed by felixs house alter ego frits wentink and mystery man gerry read, who delivers a loopy aural approximation of what a mental breakdown.
die erste scheibe von dem jungen talentierten felix tuch ist der hit schlechthin! vollgepumpt mit dicken bassfundamenten, coolen vocal-fetzen und aeußerst straighten rythmicparts die sich nahtlos durch alle tracks der ep ziehen
following their past releases, pure* records delivers another golden & soulful one - smell the sunshine, the beach, the summer. built upon flowing percussion and filled with an addictive baseline - a melodic and groovy tech-house hymn with great remixes by no one else than mollono.bass, beatamines
felix bernhardt & grieche – this is a derb minimal-techno ep. analogue sounds at its best! side a is completely an analogue live record. side b is the typical crazy sound produced by felix bernhardt.
fourth wave are proud to announce the debut release of felix lenferink. hailing from the netherlands, felix looks set to follow in the footsteps of countrymen martyn, 2562 & 4ths very own presk with his techno heavy sound. delivering two tracks of percussive broken techno with cheeky synth stabs, first bouree strides into the club, necks some jagers, and proceeds to the dancefloor with great aplomb. second bouree is stranded in the middle of the dancefloor at 5am surrounded by strangers wondering what the fuck is going on.
