experimental techno / drum & bass

jay west and christian mallloni have joined together to create a hybrid filter funk sound all of their own. the original reaks havoc on the dance floor creating serious synth sweeps and bass drops to keep this track versatile and improvisational throughout. the vocal sample quirky as it is rings in your head while the percussive rhythm and killer bassline dri this piece home. nightshift boss man hipp e steps up for the b side with a new style and brings down the house. extended peak time mix here with big synth rides, crispy rhythm and big kick. wicked breakdown riddled with bits from the original and ever expanding sonic modulation takes this cut to the limit

after featuring on the work of the cream of dancefloor jazz, broken beats and house music for 4 years or more, lyricl has two singles out, two lyricl singles. well it was about time. he wants to know is a mid tempo broken jazz produced by rms. it whacks the floor with sub bass and jacking brokenbeats, and ls rhymes are as tight as she sits on the riddim nice. a chorus reminiscent of a bb boogie ting completes a hard hitting heavyweight of a tune. knowing lyric ls straight up house music prowess (a la doot dude) phil asher turns in a restless soul mix that transforms ooh u & i into a tough but classy beat & bass driven jackin house workout. a dub completes a top package, a package which shows that loose lips are just one of lyricls many assets

red rack em is a name well known to wolf fans as he launched the first wolf white release with his deep house classic in love again. he is a master at reworking dusty grooves into peaking house bangers. that is the best way to describe this ep too. do or die is a straight up peak of the night disco jam. big sample, big bass, big track. ooh ooh ooh leans on the soulful side of his sample selections and its wonky but funky composition never fails to turn heads. the final track live at music hall is straight up deep. so, something for everyone, no messing.

trotz zahlreicher nebenprojekte wie alexis taylors about group, joe goddards the 2 bears und einem vollgepackten tour-kalender, lassen uns hot chip nach ihrem erfolgs-album in our heads vom sommer 2012 auch in diesem jahr nicht im stich: die neue single dark and stormy erscheint am via domino! der typisch leichtfüßige hot chip-sound trifft auf eingängig groovende bass-lines und den soulig-melancholischen gesang alexis taylors. dabei herausgekommen ist ein elektrisierender dance-pop-song, der spätestens mit dem aah-ooh der bridge ganz fest im ohr hängen bleibt.

nice bass/electro/techno/chicago-house crossover by the mysterious producer m.n.l.t.h. reminding of eod or dmx crew and the likes, in typical weme style.

breakbeat paradise recordings is proud to introduce yet another talented artist to the bbp crew. dj rudd is an established dj and producer from latvia, where he is leading the funky breaks/mashup scene, doing shows with names like a-skillz, featurecast, nightmare on wax to name a few. rudds oldskool type of funky breaks was a perfect match for bpp, who was quick to get rudd on board, when they first heard rudds successful funky breakout ep on bigm records. this became the beginning of a prosperous teamwork set out to design this amazing ep of 4 state-of-the-art funky bangers. track by track and sample by sample they worked their way through, in order for this ep to be as great as possible. the result is nothing less than a masterpiece of classic funky breaks - with all the right elements including well-balanced use of modern day wobble basslines.

friday night sweat is a jackin house workout, full of swirling synths & cut up samples. ooh yeah ha, is a more driving twisty little number, with retro tinged toplines & a heavy bass!

sometimes a track is so hot it just has to come back around again. about ten years ago brett johnson and dave barker (stucco homes) wrote some unbelievably catching house tunes, one of them being temptation and lies. so it just seemed right to give this track yet another life. deadbeat and mike shannon dive deep into a stripped down techno groover, removing the constant use of the vocals and creating a rolling techno dub version. some seriously deep bass in the production that works the subs in all the right places. ernesto ferreyra and guillaume coutu dumont aka chic miniature give you a playful melodic version on the flip. full use of the original chord progressions, combined with the guys signature marimba/latin percussion leaving you with a lush, warm summer hit. then brett dives into the track again giving you the oohs and ahhs mix. a ten minutes work out with bjs patented groove focused on the vocal harmonies in the original. the result is a warped, spaced out, long player that is sure to twist a few heads. mental just about sums it up. of course we had to include the original masterpiece for those who didnt find it the first time round. a favorite of everyone involved on the remix project i think youll agree that the temptation and lies cynosure mixes do the original some justice.

luaka bop presents this album from contemporary brazilian legend kassin. one of the leading producers and instrumentalists in brazilian music, alexandre kassin has produced roughly 100 records for singers, including marisa monte and bebel gilberto, recorded with sean oÕhagan (stereolab, high llamas) and made a full album based on nintendo game boy sounds. he has played bass for caetano velosoÕs live shows and conceptualized the orchestra imperial band. his new album, relax, is rooted in dreams and surrealism, yet grounded enough to reach listeners where they are. across 11 tracks, kassin flirts with latin rhythms, brazilian pop, and straight-ahead soul, using this varied stylistic array to tell imagined tales of death, drug usage, politics and fate. theres a dichotomy to relax, with kassins arrangements often feeling bright and danceable, yet with incredibly sullen themes. its a record that speaks directly to the yin and yang of everyday life, and the uncertainty that comes with simply existing.
