the must have status of joey negros -remixed with love series has been firmly cemented with both dj and home listening disco lovers since the release of the first two volumes. since the last release jn has been working hard on sourcing more disco multitrack tapes and producing new remixes while the zr team have been equally dedicated to clearing and licensing these new versions. the enduringly popular mtume/lucas produced phyllis hyman soul classic you know how to love me gets a new makeover that reworks the original elements into a more dramatic version with many peaks and troughs, stretching it out to over 10 minutes. even for those love the original this new mix gives a favourite song a fresh new perspective and reason to be played again. motown sounds philly style instrumental bad mouthin was an underground hit on dance floors in new york, london and chicago from the late 70s onwards. it was also famously sampled in bob sinclar s no 1 gym tonic. the original is a pretty dense, everything in all the way through style production, whereas the jn mix opens things up in a bit with more room for the individual parts to be heard. the end result is an extremely energetic bassline driven disco cut that works super well on the dancefloor.

sl011 is on its way! to celebrate our most beloved format we mix the old and new and bring together three artists we ve just taken on board with regular sl artist joey kay from chicago. special artists, special audience, special music, special release: 180 copies, 180 grams. nothing more. nothing less. pandilla ltd opens up the feast on the a side. a collective of three portuguese artists, this trio of producers-composers made a name for themselves through their distinctive minimalist approach to music. and what better way to introduce them than the very title of their track: -you get to know-. do meet the guys and enjoy. chicago resident joey kay was already with on sl001 and sl003. but why would we stop? here he is again with some new gems. joey s been producing quality and selective underground house music since the 80s, giving us each time delightful hints of what good chicago underground truly sounds like, far away from seasonal trends and close to his own philosophy instead. open up your ears and heart, as joey will be -trying 2 reach u- with his beautiful ode to the golden age of house music. the end is just the beginning, people. flip the record, start again, and let tommy guide you. tommy vicari jnr is an underground music hero well known for his singular and very unique sound. tommy plays by his own rules and tastes. he produces and releases tommy s kind of sounds and tommy s kind of sounds only, regardless how of far he needs to push the boundaries of his musical world to find the right beat and hit. -decided- is sl011 punchy bassline banger, in case you thought of falling asleep between both sides. for don t forget: true dancers always dance. almost the end, we know, but dry your tears, we re not there yet, no, no. harrison bdb aka harry weber is here with us for the last stretch and a final sonic hug - one to remember -. harrison s immersive approach to deep house has earned the man his credit, solidly grounded in the finest and deepest selections. the kind of selection, in fact, that d make anyone want that record again. mind you, this is probably what this last track -going back- is telling to do. ready? flip!

for house heads of a certain persuasion, dj duke is a name that resonates for all the right reasons. the u.s. veteran has been responsible for some of the 90’s most seminal moments, chiefly through tracks such as 12 minutes to do it (under his pleasure dome alias), party time and the prosumer-endorsed deep house classic, heard. he returns here courtesy of emerging imprint solo werks, who host his latest ep, green pastures. a momentous house-led workout, it compounds duke’s reputation as a producer of considerable panache while also acting as an auspicious start to life for the dublin based label. the title track is a grainy, old-school cut that bears all the hallmarks of a dusty analogue-jam and harks back to the days of vintage chicago with the sort of zest you’d expect from a man of duke’s credentials. the other original, skyscapes, is packed to the brim with industrial motifs and is characterised by the sort of effortlessly catchy baseline with which duke has made his name. mysterious and ethereal, it takes the listener on an uncompromising and throughly captivating house journey from the off. on the flip side, we have two stunning remixes, the first of which arrives from new jersey don, ruben candelario aka nicuri. a long-time favourite of nyc-based producers a la joey anderson, nicuri turns green pastures into a dreamy, acid-led space, adding layers of suspense and a glittering vocal intto the mix as he goes. last but not least are dublin-based producers slowburn, who serve up a stunning version of skyscapes. a carefully construed voyage into the deep, it caps off a fine ep with some aplomb.

any disco dj worth their weight in vinyl knows the name donnell pitman, and until now this has been mostly due to his highly sought after work of the late 70s and early 80s. renewed interest in donnell has reached critical peak over the past few years, fueled by red greg’s feature of donnell’s seminal “love explosion” on joey negro’s under the influence vinyl compilation series and chicago’s numero group putting out long forgotten, unreleased boogie bangers “burning up” and “taste of honey” in 2015.
it was this refreshed enthusiasm that caught the attention of producer kumar mcmillian of chicago-based disco ensemble wings of sunshine. kumar’s group was looking for another vocal collaborator following their 7” debut release on star creature records. a casual introduction led to an informal studio session between the two culminating in a modern disco masterpiece.

bliq are proud to present bliq05:nicuris paradigms fresh out of union city, ny. the paradigms of which nicuri speaks are darkness, deliverance and determination, modal expressions delivered on three cuts of resonant electronic music. on doldrums nicuri plays with paradox,combining staggered, dreamy synths with unnerving bass rumbles. to reinvigorate the doldrums, or as he puts it replenish the earth, the producer implements a menacing analog rumble in the style of new york greats dj qu and joey anderson. but to ensure that the ground is re-imbued with rational vitality, nicuri adds a layer of baroscopic viscosity: smog surrounds and engulfs, a suppressed vocal intermittently choking. on the flip, parrish adams – aka intrinsic of emphasis records in chicago – gives the earth an even harder, more insistent techno edge. he introduces melodic light flashes at the edges of urban darkness, and rumbles it like a train escaping grand central station. bliq05 is on the run.

chicago native producer joey kay, and well-known poland producerand d.j. aphreme duel it out on stylistic recordings styl#003 high-riser extended play vinyl 12 inch. the title track to this e.p. is a1 in tracklisting >high-riser (skyscrape edition), with aphreme and joey kay bumpin the deep house chicago style, with joey kay engineering and co-producing aphremes great jazzy song. joey also plays intricate piano leads, and layers of extravagant synths and strings, dueling with aphremes main concept. a great floor filler, jazzy mixed with chicago deep house and peak club blend

first of three parts of the first wurst compilation with 10 new exclusive tracks alltogether. part i boasts new york upstarts soho808, lisbon legend tiago, merc alum chicago damn, and new jersey outliers pink stallone. following appearances on soul claps social experiment 002 mix on no. 19 and jamie jones fabric 59 mix, soho808 land on wurst with >reach< feat. safiyah, easily their most accomplished work to date, fusing their now-patented slow house sound with a little of the citys r&b swagger. pink stallone hooks up with strictly rhythm alum joey washington on >help yourself<, a ridiculously nasty slice of future funk. tiago gives >peanuts not working< his i am the automan treatment, channeling the 80s cosmic sound for a driving dancefloor workout. rounding out the ep is chicago damns >romcom<, a smoky, subdued number, hinting at detroits beatdown sound with the mans now signature mpc moves.

the 12-inch sampler for >panorama bar 03< could have hardly been better. hitherto unreleased, the tree tracks on ostgut ton 47 tick all the boxes that make prosumer such a unique dj: house in its various identities. soundstore starts the triptych with >take u<. greatness and frantic fever visions go hand in hand while hitting the core of chicagos second wave: dance mania, cajual, and relief with siren-like hooks in a feverish delirium. irresistible. prosumers panorama bar fellow steffi slows down the pace. >sadness< that surprisingly did not make it on her album debut is not only the opener of the actual panorama bar mix, but also a tribute to that kind of deep house that doesnt take its prefix lightly. in the end, berlins hunee teaches you a freestyle lesson. in a similar way to the young pal joey, he feeds his sampler a well-known dish, but throws in peculiarity, rascality and deviation to get new results. after all the time, this music is still not getting a bit long in the tooth. lets take a love break.
