it’s not often that a breakthrough producer manages to cause major hype after just one release but when that artist is from the uk, putting out a brilliant ep on moodymann’s mahogani music, you start to realize how it happened in dan shake’s case. now its time for dan to build on this incredible start and from the way things are looking it’s safe to say it’s all going in the right direction. another rising star from the uk is wolf music regular medlar who has been making serious waves the last 5 years. remixes for the likes of glenn astro and disclosure have all helped put him in the spotlight and his debut lp sleep from 2013 delivered in spades. so when the news that these two were joining forces for a collaborative project reached us here at d.o.g we wanted in on the action.

lee webster s soul reply ep kicks of the year for iutsan with two contrasting, yet seemingly connected tracks. on the chocho side you ll find soul replied - a low slung love song with moodymann-esque sampling and swung-out drums, dipping out occasionally as the female vocal comes in like a lullaby. in contrast on the culo side, you ll find devils avocado - an ibiza terrace style jam that builds from the cutting synth line into a crescendo that finally drops into a total dc10 weapon. an strong start to the year for barcelona based i used to sleep at night.

here at black acre, we are extremely excited about starting 2015 with a bang - a 12” from new sensation on the circuit, dan shake. he is the first artist outside of detroit to cut his teeth on moodymann’s mahogani music, winning plaudits here and across the atlantic for his catchy groove laden “3am jazz club- ep. now with much anticipation, the tony allen & fela kuti acolyte returns with two crunchy dilla-eque takes on soulful club music. * out of sight is a carefully constructed dance floor number packed with low-end theory and seductive vocal stabs. low-slung fuzzy bass swinging perfectly between ghost-horns and driving drums. traders ii, a collaboration with canadian based rennie foster, see’s dan’s dna marker driving kicks smashing acid atoms against a sharp live horn section bringing the ethereal jazz cat to the dance.

rick wilhite delivers a super strong collection of tracks made by producers coming from either new york, chicago or detroit. this the second in a 2 part project.

erste singleauskopplung aus dem neuen mr. scruff album -friendly bacteria-! remixe kommen von andy -mr. scruff- carthy höchstpersönlich, dem detroiter produzenten andrés aus dem kdj/mahogany music/moodymann umfeld und royalty & ad bourke. boogie-, disco-funk- und deep house-fans kommen hier voll auf ihre kosten!

time to welcome more new, undiscovered talent to the fold, this time we give you sheffield producer thatmanmonkz with an amazing ep entitled please dont slip, trip or fall off. thatmanmonkz came to our attention last year when his track that would be alright appeared on tone control music. the low slung, bluesy inflections combined with moodymann-esqe vocals and deep pads had us instantly hooked so when he presented us with three brand new tracks for delusions of grandeur we literally bit his hand off.

from the two individually revered artists seuil and le loup, comes the debut lp under their collaborative dj/producing alias hold youth. a collection of dance-orientated tracks, designed to make the body move, de la club explores the origins of hold youth’s fundamental influences to their modern day stance.a lp in two parts, the first vinyl is almost a retrospective of primarily state-side club sounds, but also of the pair’s early musical staples. paying homage to old skool production, the inspiration drawn from the detroit greats like moodymann and andres is clear on the funked-out, jazzy vibes of street my baby or the smooth flowing les enfants du soleil. hold youths love affair with head-bobbing hip hop also makes an appearance on the intro and outro, sampling the one and only j dilla, perfectly combined with their own personal beat-boxing. not forgetting their french 90s roots, kool & the boug oozes that warmth defined so well by pepe bradock and trankilou… a club track which has the power of subtlety to submerge the dancefloor that one level deeper. part two looks to the example of german minimal and micro house and brings us up to date with the sounds fresh from hold youth’s record bag today. be it the weird and murky territory of dodge this, or the eerie, glitchy world of black dog, their modern vision of de la club is darker and sturdier in its stature. but it is the ability to weave seamlessly between the lps two halves, two ideals, which truly characterises the hold youth ethos and their signature djing style.

bet.e & stef eroberten mit ihrem pop meets jazz, bossa-nova und latin stylings das publikum im sturm, und auch das nicola conte dubstrumental von triste ist ganz großes kino und ein echter gewinner, der perfekte old school / nu school house-vibe. support von moodymann, gilles peterson, rainer trueby, u.v.a.! erste 10inch auf compost black label!

rising concern dan shake has achieved what no other has in over a decade: with his debut release in the music world, he has become the very first producer without a detroit heritage or residency to land a release on moodymanns prestigious record label mahogani music. based in london, the former leeds student secured the feat in a charmingly anachronistic fashion: having just watched kenny dixon jr perform alongside the 3 chairs at dimensions festival, dan simply handed over a demo cd with a collection of unreleased tracks. moodymann was hooked almost instantantly, taking the first plunge on welcoming an outsider into his tight-knit crew of detroit strong artists. citing influence from the layered percussive rhythms of afrobeat pioneers such as tony allen and fela kuti, the soul-drenched sampling of j dilla and the kind of dark, dense grooves laid out by contemporary producers such as flying lotus and motor city drum ensemble, dans situation in winding up on a label renowned for encompassing all those traits is obviously a blessing for the young producer.

heavily influenced by moodymann and andres, new home taping artist simba produces music that is full of soulful echoes, while still dripping in raw house music vibes. quality house music for the believers out there. nothing is too straight in the simba sound as fx drift around and subtle production touches come at you from all angles. vinyl hiss is as important as the kick drum and the overall atmosphere has that classic house music quality that can transport you instantly to another place. the black madonna was the one who drew attention to the rising talents of this young producer. so fittingly she delivers her own lost in chicago take on the original, which delights in the tracks edginess and the wonderful release of the main hooks

vinyl only - played already by moodymann !!!!!!!!
once again showing their appreciation for forward-thinking music and supporting think-outside-the-box sounds, the latest ep on hold youth opens up the boundaries of electronic music and offers something more. the opening track sample n 909 has been injected with pure funk and sets the scene for the rest of the release, which maintains that groove throughout. well selected vocals can be found in the soulful harmonising of those voices or the smooth-speaking that makes rainbow slices the most mellow of the package. ending the b side with no more pretty, a joint stripped down to essential kick and high hats, you can feel the full strength of the funk once again as the jazzy keys enter… s3a is a breakthrough dj/producer from paris and resident of the illustrious concrete parties.

phil weeks and robsoul recordings kick off their 15th year in house music with a new three track ep from the main man himself. live at palladium has been the standout track of phils sets over the last few months, always generating a queue of people asking what it is. you may just recognize the marvin gaye sample, which was also previously borrowed by moodymann. it comes backed with the funk-infused *you want my love* and the soaring, chugging groove of *demain a jamais*, and looks set to get another year off to a flying start for one of the finest labels in underground house music.

great jazzy house tracks much in the moodymann vein... including two remixes by rondenion!

deep & warm sounding technoid moodymann flavoured house.

*i said emotional content, not anger bitch!*
there you have it, the opening phrase from this detroit house mega classic by kenny dixon jr. aka moodymann. this terrence parker remix was originally released back in the mid 90s and since then vanished from the record store shelfs for more than 10+ years. now jd records with kind permission from intangible records & soundworks are happy to give this beautiful and timeless piece of music history new life with a re-mastered version.

arriving at a fourth midnight riot label compilation in little over a year is no mean feat from yam who?s production operation, and the key to their success lies in the diversity of sounds you can include within the overarching theme of nocturnal grooves.
yam who? call on some respected names to contribute the next midnight riot 12 inch series, including caserta and indeed the boston based producer provides perhaps the best example of a nocturnal groove with his slow burning, beat down house cut >get down<.
the scandinavians the glue turn out their second cut from volume 4 with the uplifting, hypnotic disco burner pink ink which is receiving massive dj feedback.
again from another far-flung corner of the disco globe are the macedonians mosaik who smash it again for midnight riot with 2 much heaven a deep slinky moodymann inspired filtered loop classic. the final cut we bring you australias dj raw sugar with his strongest cut to date, sunroof top again another detroit inspired stone cold cosmic groover

alessio alexsoul pagliaroli returns to whasdat music this time with the distinctive voice of none other than arnold jarvis. this piece simply titled *tonite* has already become a crowd favorite of terry hunters bang party sundays in chicago, received major play from kai alce and norm talley at movement festival in detroit, and is in the rotation of other top djs: louie vega, moodymann, rick wilhite, just to name a few.

the savannah ep concludes mr. beatnick s synthetes trilogy, a series which has signalled the london producer s migration from hip-hop into well-schooled deep house. the first two installments, at their best, married adeptly selected samples with stylish synth work in a manner reminiscent of moodymann or andrés, but not excessively beholden to detroit house.

here is the second extract of the zombie zombie new lp >rituels d un nouveau monde<. in addition of the original mix, we asked few friends to take care of the remixes. dj sotofett, the man behind the great sex tags mania label, delivers 14 mn of pleasure, in a moodymann fashion. funk break, deep chords, amazing break using the synths of the original... on the other side, the french blocks from discodeine are giving other vision of a club orientated mix. strange delays heavy beats and tropical stabs

japans rhythm of elements return with another e.p. that display their versatility and belief in the many forms that soulful music can take. >tribe #3< contains the classic rhythm of elements combination of dj uchikawas firing electronic beats alongside virtuoso piano playing by makoto kuriya, plus bass by incognitos francis hylton. the track is a tribute to the late departed detroit electronic music artist aaron carl who sadly passed away last year. continuing the detroit connection, rick wilhite has been working with the likes of theo parrish and moodymann for years, and his remix of >tribe #3< provides an audio beatdown, stripping the whole thing down to its rawest elements, and supplying the hard and the smooth in perfect balance. >blow< is another journey into a percussive horn driven groove for the dancefloor. rhythm of elements provide the remix, layering the musical elements like flavours in a delicious cake. finally, >meditation bath< (loftsoul 2012 mix) takes the pace right down for this beautifully relaxing slow burner. close your eyes and let it flow over you.

4th release by 12records, presenting the new deep88 >removing dust< ep (taken from the forthcoming >removing dust< album that will be released later on this year). main single is a2 >the vibe<, a classic 90s beat made over a real melody, where vocals parts crossover and match each others, in two differents peaks, to create a whole >vibe< flow from the start till the end of the song. a1 is a test signal experiment, where samples take a different level, a sort of meta sample, a sample into a sample… well, have a listen, its easier to understand that way. bside is 3 tracks long, not a common practice in todays ep releases. b1 >grancartridge<, a moodymann house style raw song, b2 is even more raw sampling style, meanwhile b3 is a dreamy vocal house tune more common to deep88s style. the result is a mature ep, that ntroduces the 2nd deep88 album, always on 12records, and that will bring him into that >serious< realm of making house that is seen in some elite today (funny isn’t it… at the end it is just about music and we all have ears… maybe)... btw less marketing on our head, this 12inch wont be a coloured or hand written limited release, just the good old classic black one (yes it sounds better folks) and no limited copies… when is close to finish we will repress as usual.

smoohs raisin theory, her debut for dissonant, is the first of tinis new productions and whilst the freshness of a new moment is evident in this funk driven number, her youth as a drummer and the early influences of a certain moodymann, can all be heard in the warm rhythms of the original. label boss marc antona takes the original on a trip with his outback mix. creating an ethereal atmosphere with his deep pulsing drums and bringing the vocal to the fore, marc creates a special moment for the floor. dissonants italian arm, re-up keep the funk and drive, whilst adding an array of crisp, clean percussion.
