from the tropics comes whiskey disco, a sneaky re-edit label bent on dredging the decanter for diffident dancefloor genius from latent disco perpetrators. it is loosely connected to sleazy mcqueen and his assorted cohorts. whiskey disco #21 is brought to you by your future lovers, tomas malo, atnarko, andrew clarke and space coast. these folks have futurified some heavy love affairs ranging from disco to rnb. this machine has soul, baby!

i first met leon vynehall in berlin before a gig at the amazing about_blank. we had a fun conversation and he played a really good set that night. much later i realized i had been playing one of his tracks (total s) for ages! we stayed in touch and i asked if i could hear some of his new music. he sent me five tracks and i signed four, that is a pretty good score if you ask me! smart and conscious about his music and his output, i think this ep is really only the beginning for leon vynehall. i am glad i am able to give it a platform and share these amazing tracks with you. also special props to d&m for doing a great mastering job on these. - martyn

the last 12 inch in the invisible sunrise remix series and to say they have saved the best until last would be unfair on all the other amazing remixes but this really is a doozy. quiet village do what they do best - an exceedingly epic 13 minute tropical jungle chugger that transcends time and space to take you on a trip you are never going to forget. without a doubt one of the best things we have heard from qv in quite some time. on the flip the advisory circle provide what is perhaps the most beautiful remix - melodic, inventive and deeply lush. an anthemic come down for those moments when you need a big audio hug. simply gorgeous. lastly seahawks leave us with an unreleased mix of crystal beach which sounds like george benson tripping his nuts off on a beach in hawaii at 5am….languid jazz guitar, slo mo beats, the sound of the waves and some deep electronics ... what more could you want? seahawks at their finest and one more reason this is an essential purchase. swim on forever.

derrick may: >these guys are from tel aviv but they have such an appreciation of the music of detroit - theyre working hard to do some serious stuff!<

having produced some stellar jams for labels like somethink sounds, and giles petersons brownswood, eliphino aka tom wrankmore, debuts for hypercolour this autumn, opening up the labels new term with this solid two track release. i dont care opens the account, all chopped up rnb vox and rolling beats, wrapped up in a super smooth melody. already road tested by the hypercolour firm over the last few months, this deep garage vibe hits the sweet spot for sure. on the flip, understand further plunders eliphinos love of rugged garage beats and an ear for a catchy hook. a feverish interplay of vocal chops, keys and organ stabs keeps up the ante, with some decidedly trancey synth parts ramping up the 90s house influences here, and once again a cut that most definitely brings the heat to the dancefloor.

dj w!lds history in music dates back to the tail end of the 80s where his young and fascinated mind embraced the explosion of graffiti culture, disco, funk and hip-hop in his hometown of dijon. later as the infectious sounds of detroit techno and chicago house filtered through to europe, and laurent garnier exposed them to paris, w lds interest was peaked and a move to the capital was made. hes now at the forefront of electronic music culture, djing at some of the worlds leading nightclubs and boasting releases on off, robsoul and adult only, as well as running his own catwash and the w label imprints.

fast-rising rebel queen francesca lombardo is back on crosstown with her seductive new single ‘what to do featuring remixes from infinity ink, matrixxman and a luca cazal dub. showcasing francescas undeniable raw talent and pure, fluid vocal flair, what to do is another example of the producers sublime song composition in an electronic framework. the sultry mood evoked by francescas voice wraps around the infectious melody as spooky ethereal tones rise and fall with the subtly driving groove. infinity ink strip down the elements with mechanical precision, injecting some darker bass and a more solid kick. matrixxman revels in the twilight zone and delivers an alternative trippy tapestry of jagged synth stabs and melodic bleeps with only waves of the vocal. luca cazals dub is a perfect late night builder with added sonic textures

the production renaissance of rhythm plate continues apace with the third release on their pressed for time label which revisits one of the peak district duos earliest releases. originally issued on the crucial uk house imprint diy discs back in the halcyon days of the late nineties, the masters at wirksworth ep helped establish the rhythm plate sound. clever programming and a deep stomping vibe permeated all four tracks and this is still the case some fourteen years on. as the cunningly re-titled ep suggests, the two original tracks have been newly remastered and are accompanied by two brand spanking new mixes by matt rhythm and ant plate ... so theres now no reason to pay l106 on discogs for the original ep!

napolicenco artist tuccillo return to the electronic sheepfold in order to pronounce with authority in house music area. take the classic house of chicago, turn into contemporary, provide it of balearic freshness and make it a powerfull club sound. all this is the greatest passion of the italian music producer tuccillo who feel like at home in ibiza between sheperds. the first surprise is resolution which begin 4x4 beat. suddenly it turn in unusual percussion which provide playfull spirit to the track. the tracks deep house progress, with some ad-hoc vocals and submerged melodies wich rise the track in a common and delicious place. the track sounds like broke by these brittle rhythm, constant and rebel which provide it an special and different sound.

torontos stuart li aka basic soul unit has made not one, not two but three amazing interpretations of kyodais moving. get ready for some deep & dark electronic house biz ... for the true heads!

jose cabrera and fred p split the first installment of the perception series. the determinism ep sees jc and fp giving their slant on principles of quantum level events through sound. raw and driving, this ep is a more than an adequate dj tool, it is a formula for the transportation of the subconscious. determinism is a metaphysical philosophical position stating that for everything that happens there are conditions such that, given those conditions, nothing else could happen. “there are many determinisms, depending upon what pre-conditions are considered to be determinative of an event.” deterministic theories throughout the history of philosophy have sprung from diverse motives and considerations, some of which overlap. some forms of determinism can be tested empirically with ideas stemming from physics and the philosophy of physics. the opposite of determinism is some kind of indeterminism (otherwise called nondeterminism).

the seventh instalment in lo sheas series of 10 vinyl only releases on seaghdha. you know by now how this goes - precision club workouts, which ricochet between uk flavoured jams, to clean cut techno & stripped down house. vasquez leads the charge here, less about the legendary captain of the soundfactory, and more the soundtrack to a drug deal gone bad in downtown miami. like her flails around a bowel troubling low end and crisp snare double act, piling on the pressure with an unrelenting groove and some deftly applied distortion. elsewhere 365247 is in more familiar lo shea / seaghdha territory, with some expertly manipulated, atmospheric sampling laid over a spare, shuffle-happy herbertesque workout. finally flash gives us a glimpse into sleepless basement, inhabited by addled humanoids, playing glass bottles.

lokee musik goes into round three with an ep from the man of mystery known as anonym. very little is known about the person behind the mask, except some rumours that he hails from the motor city. in true classic techno spirit he prefers to stay anonymous and let the music speak for itself.

incl. mp3 download code. exclusive selection of old chicago warehouse classics that are currently out of print. incl: aquarius warehouse anthem, jam to it again, originally out on city limits in 1990, still sounds like a jolt of adrenaline to the system.

leonid delivering some real deep house gems! amazing warm & subtle groovy tracks with a techy edge and some distant detroit echos pure bliss. maybe not peak time tracks but very well suited for building up tension, or for the early after hours, when the sun rises again. tip!

the summer might be almost over, but groovetraxxs is just getting started with an impressive vinyl debut. label boss le babar teams up with fellow belgian pat lezizmo for a delightful piece of underground house music that sets the groove and gets you going on the dance floor. deep basslines, fresh drums and a simple melody are some of the ingredients to *another love*, but it is that oh so special vocal hook that really sets the mood. on the flip, two remixes complete the already-impressive 12 inch. golf clap give the track a more laidback-vibe with their trademark classy smoothness, while scott diaz turns it into a never ending pumping beast, perfect for those peak time moments. this is a release you cant afford to miss!

phil weeks ~ crate diggin ~ project has been bubbling under for some time while the french dj/producer carefully selected 30 of the tracks which have been most influential to him over the past 15-20 years. indeed many of the tracks - from artists including dj rasoul, dj sneak, brett johnson, inland knights, rick wade, mood ii swing and lawnchair generals - still feature as heavily in phils dj sets today as they did when originally released. released over three vinyl samplers, * crate diggin* is a window into the musical dna of one of the most respected and prolific underground house artists of this century. as well as being a highly personal project to phil, it offers a rare chance to finally pick up hard-to-find and sought after gems that were only previously released on vinyl.

skylax records, the company focused on realeasing original obscure dance classic and everything that sounds fine to their ears! for this 34th release, we give you the opportunity to grab 6 fantastic trax done by nick beringer. straight from germany, this talented producer delivered some of the best deep house music around. entitled *the second floor ep* (after the 1st floor ep out on wax classic 4), it starts with *afterhour cut 1* which is one of those eminently soulful house tracks with a sparse approach to production, all the elements sounding so crisp and distinct in the mix but judged perfectly.

for those who know the story of the bridge wars, there is some irony found in the fact that scott la rock, representing the south bronx, was born in queens, though he did relocate to the south bronx at a very young age. after graduating high school la rock spent four years in vermont at castleton college where he earned varsity letters in basketball, but more importantly for the world of hip hop he became more and more enamored with music. on graduation he returned to new york and began working as a dj and as a social worker at the franklin armory mens shelter in the bronx. it was at the shelter that scott met kris parker and the duo formed boogie down productions. the rest, as they say, is history. roughly a year after the tragic shooting death of boogie down productions founder, dj and producer scott la rock b boy records and krs-one issued this special remix album, a man and his music (remixes from around the world). billed as a limited edition collectors classic the project was released in a limited run – briefly available in the 90s – and now after years of being unavailable reappears as a tribute to one of the genres early pioneers.
