2019 repress - more than a year after the release of their debut album mandar is back with an absolute stellar ep! two full sided loud cuts of pure club madness! string theory has summer vibes written all over it with strings reminiscent of pepe bradocks classic sunset anthem deep burnt. the flipside poisoned words is a sexy groover with a woman whispering poisonous words. mandar is raising the bar with this ep and shows that it s all about quality over quantity. must buy!

argot records was born in 2006 in riccione (italy) from the stable relationship and friendship of the two musicians and djs pepe and giaga. they created it to make their music more freely, without impositions, with an own identity, fascinated on every kind of test.

recorded in novalima s home studio in lima, their album “karimba” (hot iron used to mark the cattle, as well as the slaves) takes novalima music into new levels, introducing both new sounds and traditional rhythms like the panalivio, zamacueca, ingá and tondero, while maintaining their distinctive afro and dub sound. their reputation at home allowed them to work with two of the top traditional musicians in the city in what would be their last recorded performance: vocalists pepe vasquez, rosita guzman, and sofia buitron as well as guitarists roberto arguedas and felix casaverde (former guitarist of chabuca granda), in addition to members of the live band.

portuguese multi-instrumentalist sair and american vocalist and boogie producer adam chini are known for their respected releases on the most go-to boogie labels of the moment, like omega supreme, star creature universal and hobo camp. they ve now teamed up to deliver 2 stunning slices of modern synthy soul on boogie café s neon sister label. with adam s dope vocals on the a and the sairs jazzy instrumental on the flip… this is already getting early support from headz worldwide. dj support: liquid pegasus, razor n tape, danny spence / austin boogie crew (abc records), andrew morgan (ppu recordings / ear cave), boogie80, marcia carr (mi-soul radio), dennis probert (ghetto disco/ liverpool disco festival), natasha kitty katt probert (suncenbeat/ghetto disco/ liverpool disco festival), e.live (elivity), pepe hausius (born to shine), paul conroy (soul train radio), mike vitti (mi-soul radio), deli gee (the touch), vex kiddy (royale athlete, germany), yam who (ism/midnight riot), gwizski (omega supreme records), dave jarvis (love vinyl), teddy mike (neon finger), feel the real soundsystem.

after establishing himself with rough but emotive house as rimbaudian and jungle as birds of sweden, he unveiled his dj seinfeld alias to the world, first with underground hit single u, then with his time spent away from u album on lobster fury in november 2017. it was a post break-up love letter to the dance floor with heart-on-sleeve emotions colouring the dusty and analogue house grooves. acclaim came in from far and wide, with everyone from rolling stone to pitchfork fawning over its heart swelling nostalgia and melancholic immediacy. jakobsson approached his dj-kicks with the intention of representing all the things that made him fall in love with dance music more than a decade ago, as well as showing some of the progression that has occurred in that time and reflecting the simultaneous fear of leaving something safe behind as well as the excitement of venturing into unknown territories, musically and emotionally.

10 tracks crafted by london based duo metropolitan soul museum (including 2 remixes from pepe and mood j). the artists debut album ‘’misunderstood collection’’ embraces the strange and lifts you into a curious and honest journey into the unknown. with sounds resonating beyond the dance floor, metropolitan soul museum explores the realms of their musical boundaries. the album preserves a much needed natural feel, supplying the listener with a collage of mental imagery.

headphoniq drops an amazing album from the creator of the warp remix! ilo fuses together a raw mix of deep house, jazz dub, disco & detroit techno! imagine derrick may, maw, bjork, kraftwerk, carl craig, pepe bradock & roy ayers make music together & you come close to what the sound of this is.

in this oversharing era, uncommon is for an artist to choose to remain in total anonymity. even for the easytiiger teamwork, the real persona behind the model nice act is still a complete mistery – actually not a problem when the sound speaks for itself. the debut ep -nice to meet you- arrives with four raw dance burner gems, including a futuristic arp killer remix from the lemon-fanta guy, pépe, for the song -cravo amargo-. besides the rough-shaped aspect of the sound, this ep reveals a very sharp and sophisticated production, with complex element layer works that could perfectly fit as the soundtrack for a blade runner microcosm built inside of a night club. -nice to meet you- invites you to this journey through a particular soothing world, surrounded by a complex & confessional mood without saying... well, a single word.

first album of the talented eva geist, a journey into the deepness of her enchanting music, a world full of fantasy. this is probably one of the most singular, surprising and brilliant electronic project in the genre at the moment. and amazing artwork by the genius maria torres

the uks best kept secret chocky returns to dessous recordings after the success of his first outing, the well received self knowledge ep. here we see the talented dj / producer drop four tracks via the playtime ep - yet more sublime house music for steve bugs imprint. ‘double dip is a chunky, stripped down vibe, reduced the vitals that will slay dancefloors - firing percussion over a shuffling groove and a cut-up vocal reminiscent of pepe bradock. ‘organism is a deep affair - spacy pads provide the counterbalance to the tough drum track, softening the edges but keeping the vibe high. ‘soul alive taps into chockys clear appreciation for the 90s, with a strong vocal, atmospheric strings and a loose yet crispy beat. ‘playtime (dub) brings the whole ep home with yet another stormer - beginning as a driving basement jam but then introducing an unexpected piano riff that flips the script and takes things in a welcome jazzy direction.

not safe for wax slides into its first release with head honcho miagma’s “her palms” ep, which delivers four cuts of emotive, warehouse ready tunes, thawed out and prepped for these winter months!
the title track sets us off, combining rattling hats, blurry pads and one tough cookie of a kick to make a banger beato would be proud of. on remix duties is everyone’s favorite uk based spaniard pépe, bringing us back to those early days of ibiza with his soaring balearic vibes.
the b side flips the script on genres entirely, rumbling through with “untitled #3” a breakbeat-to-broken foot of a floor stomper. finishing out our journey is “anguish lagoon”, a proper tribute to junglists and jungles alike!

dutch dj, producer and dekmantel family member young marco kicks things off with a beautiful, melodic, waterfall of a track. it’s a record you’ll want to play out on a yacht, while sipping on a rosé under the warm, afternoon sun. 2017 has been nothing short of an epic year for marco, having already compiled the second in the selectors compilation series for dekmantel, in addition to having released the second lp as gaussian curve, alongside gigi masin, and johnny nash. marco is in good company, as dutch-based artist suzanne kraft crafts a delightful, ambient-meets-house, summer groove, that lives at the most relaxed of paces, sitting side-by-side on the a-side. flip the record over and dekmantel favourite, and dutch house institute tom trago finds himself in a moment of blissful summer haze, with soft, sonic-pallets and waving melodies. concluding the record is long serving dekmantel mainstay, and rednose distrikt main-man awanto 3 with an analogue, and feel-good, electro-beat rhythm.

22a017 has arrived and it sees two of london’s most celebrated underground producers enter into album territory.
comprised of ten cuts ‘brick city’ takes the listener on a journey through afro-house, funk, rare groove, boogie and broken beat to name a few. tunes like ‘brick city (4am)’ and ‘butterfly’ groove effortlessly whilst synth leads interject over tasty chords, all the while being supported by solid bass lines – these two will undoubtedly set a strong pace on the dancefloor.

fouk are finally back on heist after their great ‘kill frenzy’ ep in 2014 and have taken mount liberation unlimited along for a remix. we’ve been waiting patiently for new material, challenging the guys to take the signature ‘fouk’ sound to the next level. fouk’s brilliance has been obvious on recent work for their own label outplay and razor ‘n tape, as well as their respective solo projects. we’ve kept a close connection, teaming up whenever possible for heist showcases, with highlights in amsterdam’s “claire” and paris’ “concrete-. seeing their work and enthusiasm made it abundantly clear that it would only be a matter of time before they’d show us what the next step would look -or better yet- sound like. anticipation ran high but boy, do fouk deliver. the excellent ‘with lasers’ ep still very much portrays their own style of loose, live percussion and many layers of funk, but they’ve expanded their vision and even toughened up a bit. their new taste for grit and an interest in the heavier side of funk is probably most evident on the opener ‘f3000&#8242,,,,,, where a thunderous arpeggio is supported by distorted drums and lush cosmic synth stabs. title track ‘with lasers’ is more of a classic fouk track, combining a lovely walking disco bassline and their signature drum programming with… erm… lasers. lots of them. the b side ‘see you on the other side’ sets a different pace, carefully blending guitar licks, rhodesy chords and vocal chops into a lovely groove that feels just as carefree and improvised as it feels exciting. swedish synth nerds “mount liberation unlimited” ran with it and transformed it into a dreamy -pepe bradock goes balearic- track where airy echoed guitars take turns with some equally dreamy and evocative pads.

releasing timeless music has always been one of the main aims of hivern. sometimes, this purpose asserts itself in curious manners. take margot s moderno , a track made in 2003, several years before the label was born. actually, when pepe and giaga produced the piece for a punk oriented art installation, margot didn t even exist as a project. 14 years later, moderno sounds as fresh and contemporary as it can be. it s one of those cuts that chases a very specific idea with a very unconstrained scheme, that knows exactly where it wants to go, but is not sure about how to get there.

the first release from new vinyl only label cherub records. the ‘figure of state’ ep features four tracks: two original cuts from london upstart william earl in analogue work out mode. doppelate’s remix of the ‘figure of state’ on the a-side is an down-tempo, atmospheric trip whilst pépe’s remix of ‘stokey waltz’ takes us into blissfully uplifting, arpeggiated territory.

here we are again. highlights, the second release from panea is ready. first stop, an amazing journey over the frequencies by the hand of primary perception. second stop, a deep beauty from aleexe and pepe. on the other side, the master s. moreira delights us with one of his gems, no more words need to be said. last but not least, the much talented guys from formas with a very personal groove.

spring is in the air and matteo pepe, aka uabos, is taking away that winter chill with four tracks of house warmth and machine funk. acid bars float on crisp claps for the uplifting -mystic force-. the italian keeps the floor stoked with the sample strewn grooves of -copacabana- before the synths take over with the lush chords of -city woods-.-karmic souls- closes, meandering notes bend and shimmer on clean percussion for an exotic climax to an ep of ambitious analogue delights.

tell (aka milan for the ones who know) is a french producer who did tracks for beat x changers, banoffee pies, house running, nachtbreaker new imprint & just caught the attention of the mighty boiler room. this is his first ep which is in fact a mini lp & it s a fucking killer ! if you like pepe bradock, moodymann & strictly rhythm (so skylax in a way ,-)), this is definitely for you. ultra classy producer on the verge of getting big. we ve been following him for years now (thx to garage shelter / signal st advise) & we won t regret, the result goes far beyond all of our hopes. futur classic. skylax records 4 ever

hot on the heels of refraction vol. 2, residual welcomes the return of long time friend john tejada. the prolific programming master serves up salacious selections that are searing to say the least. the lead track jaco is a pepe bradock influenced piece the twists and turns with breaky beat work. the numbers on the b side are firmly focused on filing the dance floor. round the outside shows tejada in top form. upfront drums and basslines perfectly paired with flittering melodies. repurposed is more minimal in form but no less effective. quirky tweeks along cascading riffs.

killer nyc house !!

spain s slow town rarely fails to deliver the goods. split, so called because it contains tracks from numerous artists, more than lives up to the label s rising reputation. it probably helps that the a-side comes from former bent man and longtime east midlands deep house stalwart nail. his -shake back- explores similar sonic territory to pepe bradock s -deep burnt-, whilst retaining the chunky, bass-heavy bottom-end recognizable from his releases for classic, shabby doll and robsoul recordings. on the flip, there s an equally assured cut from london stalwarts jonno & tommo. -wolf spirit- is an altogether more tech-tinged affair, built around a restless electronic bassline, hypnotic percussion and woozy, late night chords.

nice price deal !!! jack of all trades musician jay shah b from normandy started his career as bassist in rock bands during the 90s. his rock culture was spiced up by hip hop and breakbeat at the beginning of the new millennium. as a fine producer he started to record bands and spent his time torturing sound, sampling stuff and scratching vinyl records. after a lot of time in the studio, in 2006 he released a abstract hip hop album recorded with his mate goliath, and then made a deal with kif records (birdy nam nam, jazz liberatorz, pepe bradock) under the name buzz burglarz. after two years in brussels, he is now back in paris with a pure electro ep >discopunk is dead<. meanwhile he is setting dance floors on fire all around the world with ecstatic solo dj sets, that could well make juan mclean, sebastian and others go green…

panea records, is a concept based on sharing their lifestyles with all who share a passion for music. and aspiration to provide talented musicians, producers and djs with valuable opportunities within this label. four spanish friends came together in berlin sharing their love of music. each of them influenced by the berlin music scene.

mixing abstract hip-hop and house, blutch s style is mind-blowing and striking, with touches of groove and heat. borrowing from pépé bradock, francis inferno orchestra,cuthead, andrés, shigeto and massive attack, blutch has forged a unique musical identity all along his career, always with this strong desire to combine several universes into a single entity.
in january 2015 blutch revealed his creative genius with his first ep, equilibrium. he will soon revisit a voluptuous set mixing trip hop, the softness of electronica and a hypnotic deephouse. requilibrium unites 9 artists in one project that represents blutch’ diverse musical spectre. friends, idols, people who we loved to collaborate with, spend time with, get to know better. the r stands for the remix, the reinterpretation of blutch’ ep equilibrium. each artist gives new life to one of the tracks, spicing them up to their liking. cuthead transforms « skyview » in a straight-up house floor killer while maxime dangles takes « chocolates & hamburgers » to gloomy, cold electronic heights. between these two extremes the music gradually and cleverly evolves track by track. melodiesinfonie opens up in complete serenity with his take on « a. » which takes us straight into summer with our feet in the sand. tito wun follows up perfectly with his version of “wildstar” that is stacked with groovy samples. next up is keroué, member of the band fixpensill. he puts his rhymes on a stellar edit by ywnwa. jenovah choses to take “deep diving” on a bass-driven path while pavane sees and raises that with an orchestral version of anyoma. it’s up to the brothers ark & pit spector to close out the ep by taking « elis » into deeper territory.

frankfurt s finest joins bokhari with a nod to 90 s ltj bukem coming at you with the kinda track that would ve taken the doors off your xr2 : remixes come from a pepe braddock-eque dorylus, and a steroid-induced banger from the one and only capracara. mastered by matt colton. artwork by spencer fenton, with each sleeve featuring a uniquely ordered combination of hand applied coloured stickers.
