bushwick17 is a project by costanza francavilla and alex infascelli. it is a 17 minutes improvisation session, recorded in bushwick on a summer afternoon - with no additional edits, mixing or efx. the idea is based on both artists s obsession with the number 17: the concept was to freely capture 17 minutes of their day together, without any thought before the act or any extra sound manipulation after the act. costanza placed 2 mics on the floor in the middle of the room - facing the wall - and played synthesizers while merging herself with dreamlike vocals into ambient floating textures. alex turned on a fan that was abandoned in the studio, placed the electric guitar in front of it, creating ethereal drones, and moving from guitars atmospheres to abruptly exploding yet sultry drums patterns. the result is an hypnotic sonic journey into an indefinite condition of space and time.

hommage this is already the third release for our little baby s p i e l and as we are on a constant search for the more leftfield and not so deep house esque dance music it was a very happy surprise to find an amazing demo in our mail box by the swiss indie dance/ electronic duo mercury. the bern based act already made a name for themselves by releasing on the great gomma label and by doing remix work and collaborations with people like robert owens, byron stingily, tom trago,munk and two door cinema club. these three new tracks are a well crafted mix of electro, disco, house and deep techno.

kiwanuka, a 25 year-old uk native of ugandan heritage, was raised in north london where he split his time between session work and local gigs. along the way, having found footing as a solo artist, he was signed to communion records, then polydor, and has since performed throughout europe and north america too touring in direct support of adele. he made his way through nashville this past summer with just enough pause and aplomb to commit these morsels to tape. the a-side *you ve got nothing to lose* is an original composition, featuring the buzzards dominic davis on upright bass and cory younts on piano, joined also by fellow balladeer lillie mae rische on fiddle. their contributions transform his work into a stone-cold groove with almost orchestral underpinnings, making it a fitting extension of their previous blue series. the single also features a chilling rendition of townes van zandts infamous *waitin round to die* on the b-side, the perfect compliment to the timbre and mood of the a-side.

the a1, named after the release title, is a summer techno drive, or a ride through a hot landscape in central america, as the notes of marimba suggest. the subtle but crackling low toms reverb dictates the driving tempo, while the chasing hats warn of a night which is likely to be dirty and sweaty. ready 2 glow opens with an enlightening synth note softly spreading through the air. its the after-hour call, the quietness before a new storm, which is about to boost and bring to surface the spastic contradictions of the drug-based soul liberating after-hour scene. corners goes funk, the quirky and rugged bass line lays at the core of the groove. above, we hear a multitude of spooky sounds and samples ranging from flying saucer sonic surges to playful stabs and bongo madness. the obsessive vocal echo, manipulated according to the abuse of ifferent drugs, is a clear indication of that. alza pure quanto vuoi is almost taken as it was firstly conceived during a jamming session. its twisted, swinging, it breaks the scheme of groove flowing as the tempo suddenly escapes to a faster pitch, jacked out

clear soul forces is next to carry the burning flame for the city of detroit. discovered, championed, and mentored by royce da 5’9”, the four-man group rhymes like genetically enhanced street poets from the 70s who are here to remind us what album rap sounds like. the vision of e-fav, l.a.z., noveliss, and producer/emcee ilajide combines golden era, 21st century, backpack and sub-woofer hip-hop but never sounds dated, derivative, or awkwardly avant garde.

chasing kurt, das sind pascal blanché, wojtek kutschke und lukas poloczek: zwei langjährige deep-house-fans und ein einzelgängerischer funk n soul-typ, den sie unterwegs aufgabelten. alles begann in einer schicksalhaften nacht in gießen, wo die jungs zu hause sind. wie die meisten zufälligen rendezvous unserer zeit geschah es in einer bar: dj legt bis tief in die nacht auf und barkeeper mixt, was das zeug hält. als für beide das ende ihrer schicht naht, wagt barkeeper ein paar gesangseinlagen. das fällt dj auf. er lädt barkeeper zu einer jam-session ein, im bescheidenen studio eines dritten. barkeeper ist hocherfreut. house ist eigentlich nicht so sein ding, aber er tritt seit jahren auf und jammt, und so sagt er sofort zu. das ergebnis ist daydream , eine sanfte und doch satte, glutvolle kleine ballade – die dabei so gut ist, dass für ihre veröffentlichung ein brandneues label gegründet wird. es folgten verschiedene weitere releases, die den fokus auf chasing kurt lenkten. so ist der track money von maya jane coles für ihre dj-kicks-mix-compilation ausgewählt worden. innerhalb kürzester zeit hat das trio mit riesenschritten sein ganz eigenes dance-podest erklommen. from the inside , das debütalbum von chasing kurt, begeistert mit schleppenden beats und verschleierten dancefloor-rhythmen, wunderbar gepaart mit verführerischen legenden von verlorenen lieben und gewonnenen schlachten. eine runde, sorglos dance-platte und ein alles umhüllendes hörerlebnis.
