steve o sullivan s mosaic split series is back with a fresh instalment for you in 2017 as the boss continues to discover and compile music from artists new and old for the well-received series that marked his return a few years ago. focusing on three slabs of high grade deepness for release number six, the a side comes from a firm mosaic favourite dean decosta, a long-time friend and contributor to the imprint. hailing from california, his music has always held a timeless quality and subtlety that is in key with the label and steve s ethos. stripping everything back to basics, recon feels like a tribute to the last days of summer and the warm coastal breeze that inhabits the shore in decosta s native california. filling the space with warm pads and twinkling synths, the bass end neatly pulses and tweaks throughout as it elegantly moves to a spatial groove that seems to freeze the very moment in time you inhabit. complimented perfectly by within without, leeds lad bobby o donnell serves up an instant ace for the b side as he fuses a tough ended kick with dub tinged rhodes chords, pattering hats and swirling melody: evoking the kind of uplifting vibe that won t go amiss with djs and dancers alike. expect some heavy rotation and smiling faces on this. last, but not least, rising swedish producer sean dixon lays down a fusion of omar s styled synth jams to dub driven house. by taking elements of the classic and injecting a fresh angle, dixon creates a unique space in the sound that builds and builds, deserving both your time and attention. with repeated play, you can t but help admire his craft. if you haven t already checked out his catalogue don t get caught sleeping.

forty six knobs machine by unbroken dub is the first release from nikita zabelins label, resonance moscow. based in the russian capital, the label focuses on electronic music from towns and regions nationwide. unbroken dub is the stage-name of denis safiullin, well known to domestic audiences as a member of the hot wax team. that project comes from the industrial city of tyumen, sometimes called the hydrocarbon heart of russia. winter temperatures in the area can fall below 45c. denis is a long-standing aficionado of analog synths and continues to experiment with all manner of samples. those two trajectories produce a high level of originality, especially when he enlists the support of leading club figures from around the world. denis release for resonance moscow is excellent proof of this bold experimentation. all three tracks on forty six knobs machine use the rokton, an antique soviet drum synth.

all-day and all-night cultural entertainment center and athenian place-to-be, six d.o.g.s, has launched its brand new label, six d.o.g.s records. its first release under the gilda series, which will be focusing on contemporary, club-oriented electronic music, is lemos *kay&#305,,,,kç&#305,,,,*. lemos, the wonder-boy of greek underground dance scene, delivers the goods with a cover of *kaykci*, a greek (with turkish-like aroma) folk song, originally written in 1948. the song is a staple of traditional greek music, having been covered by numerous artists through the years. lemos nine minute long take features the beautiful vocals of folk-jazz singer, natasha mindrinou. in typical lemos style, the track is a dubby techno - house trip to the stars, retaining the core of the original song, basic melodies and lyrics. this leads-up to a deep, hypnotic but epic, huge cut that will surely move after hours dancefloors all-over. a remix by kreon, the greek maitre of contemporary minimal techno. he takes the original parts of kay&#305,,,,kç&#305,,,, under a low key bass carpet that extends to 12 minutes. stripped down, with emphasis on crystal clear rhythmics and in full swing, the track takes a whole new meaning. smartly placed vocals that fit in the after-hours aura and a hands-up moment towards the end, kreon brings the heat akin to the sound of ricardo villalobos and rpr.

excellent four track disco vinyl

cole williams heißt der mann, dessen stimme uns sowohl in den intensiven höhen als auch in den souligen mittelparts seiner songs ergreift. zugleich tief melancholisch, irre groovig und wenn er will, sogar ein bisschen prollig. es ist aber nicht nur wie er es sagt, sondern vor allem was er sagt: die explizit durchdachten und bedeutungsstarken lyrics erhalten gepaart mit der wow-stimme von cole williams und den belebenden beats echten tiefgang. auf diese art transformiert the child of lov den häufig recht verstaubten soul ins 21. jahrhundert.

luc who? marianni? this reclusive french composer paved the underground music history with a handful of mind-blowing lps but still managed to surprisingly fall under the radar. even the experts seem to have forgotten about him when there were clues all over the place! it is true luc marianni didnt belong to no family but his own, with his constant work-in-progress through the gathering of friends and the odd random musical chance meeting.
it is therefore with great pleasure that we offer for the first time in decades the scarce remaining stock of original copies from his first and last vinyls, hoping to turn some heads along the release of the remix ep on ddd records: ddd-lmr-t01 with remixes of jared wlison (detroit), dam mantle (glasgow) and nukubus (rotterdam).
