as usual, deadly sins has provided us with a four-pack of hypnotic, filter-heavy disco cuts that slither their way across the dancefloor with all the sinewy charm of an eager python on heat. taken inspiration from forgotten disco gems and simmering secret soul jams, original cuts 03 bumps, grinds, struts and jigs from start to finish.

belgian producer, tim van de meutter, aka locked groove, returns to hotflush for a second ep following the success of januarys pivotal rooted release. keep it simple comprises three weighty examples of why the young producers unique fusion of big-room techno and moodier, deep-house elements has been resonating so loudly of late. central to the ep is simplicity itself, how simple structures create something larger than the sum of their parts as >keep running<, with its rattling percussion, acidic bass stabs and euphoric builds, flaunts to the full. >aller simple< adds swing to a similar palette that is as stripped-back as it is heavy-duty. force is replaced by introspection on vinyl-closer, >even< – an inebriated voice reverberates over whispered organs and an understated groove.

nicolas audren aka dj steaw is a dj / producer based in rennes (france). his productions reflect his inspiration for deep house, funk, afro and especially the raw old school elements in house music. this release takes us back to the classic house sound somewhere in between kerri chandler & mood ii swing and has been a secret weapon of ours for some time now. from the funk & organ groove in >i want< to the lush chords and big piano breakdown in >sky hunt<. house dancers and fanatics of good vibes be aware! essential is the right word for the white journey ep.

excellent trippin minimal / house longplay.... just fantastic

props can only be directed to his home base label, tiefschwarz: souvenir music and to his music crony, rampa for nourishing re.you with the swing he needs to deliver the beats fans adore. and every so often he wanders about seeking labels to harvest his funky house seeds in. so when the berlin-based producer and dj planted a mind-blowing, full on dance ep at the mobilee headquarters to kick of the 2012 summer, they were thrilled to watch the magic flourish. the a side is home to mind your head, a funky vocal piece featuring daniel wilde with just the right drops between its smooth grooves. a crazy trip through the mind after a wild night out gives this track a boisterous appeal completely eliminating any dark and heavy elements. junction is on the flip and isn’t too far off the button as it keeps the upbeat tempo grooving with the background percussions. re.you hijacks the mood and keeps the number high-spirited and actively exciting by offering a non-stop party package.

ultraltd nice price action >>> here an unexpected bonus 12 inch to the clone 56. with an exciting remix by man of the moment 2562! he delivers a mix full of heavy sub basslines that make the house shiver and completes it with fine detroit melodies. 2562 manages to craftly dart between a concentrated detroit-techno drive and a sensuous dubstep swing which is slightly going towards a 4/4 beat.... but then falls back into that seductive two-step pace. bernardi gives us another take on the original version which is on a melodic, moody and even melancholic tip... so sweet! to top things of mark august delivers his bonus beats extracted from his glossy house-flavoured techno track. as usual with the clone x series: limited supplies!

spring is here. its the time for lightly dressed easiness. its the time for big emotions. and when it comes to music, its the time for acker-sound! matching the outbreak of the open air season, it comes in the form of extra laid-back dub techno. the >ganja tune< from english producer robot needs oil moves somewhere between casual dance steps and relaxed hip swing, sunny guitar play creates a warm summer vibe. mollono.bass bangs the kick drum a little louder, arranges a bouncing groove based on catchy offbeat chords, and inserts the fluffy sound of a transverse flute. in another version, he additionally involves the latin charm of singer ava. finally the last track on this ep comes with dubby delay sounds, a jamaican-flavoured vocal sample and smoky beats: >pull up< by robot needs oil is a musical invitation for inspired mindbody relaxation

the pioneer producer of all things electro swing and balkan beats delivers his new song schlawiener: (dunkelbunt) takes the mic himself, rapping about vienna the way he sees it and his life as a traveller & jetlag junkie. this limited edition release (only 300 copies!) comes in white vinyl and includes a bonus cd. schlawiener is a cheeky play on words in german, translating roughly as a smooth operator / dodger living in vienna. someone you almost automatically turn into when moving from a hanseatic city (hamburg in this case) to the foothills of the balkans (and stay there for more than a decade).

karat is delighted with this new single by seuil. we have been watching this guy attentively in his progression and we are glad to finally find him on karat while his production skills have reached a ripe condition. we guess his rise has just begun so watch him carefully in the near future. the two tracks of the record, in different ways, are close to karats spirit, deep, funkyand abstract enough to be used as a floorfiller or at home for a precise listening.
>sub boogie drama< is a jazzy atmosphere with an elegant restraint, even if you can feel the real swing in it.
>ketalgine network< offers a true inner odyssey, deep, sensual, funky and exquisitely oppressive.

die letzte fsoj vol. 11 ist schon fünf jahre her, die erste kam 1995 raus. ich habe das gefühl die zeit dreht zurück. ein bischen erinnern mich die tracks - vor allem die langsamen stücke, wie so mancher sound - an die ersten >future sounds of jazz< compilations. ich kann sagen, ich hatte eine gewisse leerstelle von 2007 bis ende 2010, sah weder die notwendigkeit, noch hatte ich lust empfunden, eine neue fsoj zu machen. es gab seit 2007 schon den ein oder anderen tollen track, aber nicht genug, um gleich eine compilation daraus zu zimmern. zugegeben war ich, wie viele andere, mehr dem disco-, edit- und deep house-fieber verfallen. bin ich immer noch, aber die musik fusioniert wieder stärker mit den vibes, die ich für fsoj suchte.
es begann in 2010, festigte sich in 2011, ein déjà-vu ritt mich plötzlich, der viel beschworene zeitgeist wehte wieder. haufenweise gute tracks, interessante projekte, die von der Ästhetik, vom sound und feeling den frühen 90ern, oder meinem gutdünken ihre reminiszenzen aufwiesen. immerhin sind seit der vol. 1 schon zwei generationen nachgewachsen, sagt man doch, daß alle sieben jahre eine neue generation entsteht. ich denke, die jüngeren projekte (z.b.: lo tide aus australien, anchorsong und ragout delapin beides projekte aus japan, scrimshire, letherette, laszlo, sepalcure, eden) die hier vertreten sind, spiegeln das eindrücklich wieder.

striking out in june 2011 with his debut ep >in your gut like a knife< - a neat summary of his electronic excursions at that point - the beautifully artworked 12 inch acted as a portal into a world of daydreams, tumbling into shadows and embracing luminescence simultaneously. breeding surreal headphone-friendly landscapes, he struck a peculiar and delicate balance between otherworldly and familiarity, at times sneaking a sly glance towards the dancefloor but mostly conjuring a sense of longing and rye melancholy. ticking with a distinctive bounce and rhythm, it comes as no surprise that gang colours was raised on the bump and grind of uk garage. taking a step back from chopped n screwed rnb vocals and the swing of ukg, >the keychain collection< explores more sombre recesses within gang colours palette. the scattered technicolor synth melodies that characterised his ep are present, but softer, cosier even, weaving betwixt and between forthright piano chords and wills own vocals. >the keychain collection< eloquently captures gang colours first steps on a long road.

after firstly appearing on dials 2010 compilation, kassian troyer shows up with an adventure into wonderful sounddesigned technomusic. these four pieces of deeply grooving structures might r be influenced of early works by jan jelineks farben project, the swing of stl and the deep rooms of pole. that is no coincidence at all. kassian troyer who studied sound engineering and production has been responsible for the live mixing of stefan bethke aka pole and lots of other artists like andrew peckler and pantha du prince. while working on the mixing of efdemins chicago album he became related to dial records- his first demo tracks were an ingenious discovery for dials eccentric family.

f3 are three brothers from tel aviv, who sent >lonely land< in a bottle from israel that somehow found its way to us. are they triplets? we dont know. are they ancient balearic overlords, risen from their white sand graves? or are they cosmic kids, a new generation of vagabond disco trippers taking to the future by way of the past - we cant say. have they produced a sparkling slice of sunrise disco house? we would like to think so. >lonely land< is a filtering, chugging swing for the lovers, and f3s debut. the clubmod002 release includes remixes by john talabot and seahawks.

focusing on low slung house music full of swing and swagger, jordan peak has a knack for creating raw analogue charm and already encompasses a growing spectrum of sounds. currently in the midst of a speedy ascent through the production ranks, his output already includes an intriguing set of releases, for a uk act, on labels such as robsoul, raum...musik, saved and tsuba. this is quite an introduction to music making, considering that jordan only released his first record in late 2009.

please welcome: its the arps! oslos magic music maker todd terje has already gained a wunderkind like reputation for his gentle yet potent productions (we wont mention the e-word here) on labels like full pupp, permanent vacation or running back on top of being one of the best remixers money can buy (shit robot, bryan ferry, dølle jølle et cetera et cetera). what is there left for him to do? establish a label of his own! >its the arps< is the starting signal for olsen. and what a splendid one it is. created from scratch and solely on the mythical synthesizer arp 2600 (check www.letsnerd.com for help), it features four tracks (reads instant classics) that couldn’t be a better follow-up to his 2011 super hit ep >ragysh<.

after the >decade ep<, which featured four original tracks from london/berlin duo jack dixon & robin card, comes a diverse package of remixes, courtesy of brownswood recordings eliphino, label mainstay (and >new jack swing< producer) james fox, and newcomers colo.

oakland based damon bell curates his first vinyl release with >kush musik wax<. damons productions are always rich with mood, swing, and depth. this release plays on damons archival tendencies as a dj leaning heavily on his influences of dub, jazz, and all things deep. the release starts off with damons much heralded >ezuku< which found its way onto the playlists of rick wilhite amongst others. >idiya< displays damons flair for arrangement as he twists the vibe midway thru landing you in a completely different space than the opening. >kymestry< is an uplifting deep house trip that brought a smile to the face of ron trent while at the deepblak studios. closing things out is label head aybee with a deep mid-tempo dub of >ezuku<.

droid resident artists david flores (audio injection / truncate) and vangelis + vidal vargas (raiz) combine their production elements on the degrees of motion ep. david has been burning up the industry charts with his latest raw vibe alias truncate. the spring/summer season in europe would have been quite silent had it not been for the phrases concentrate and focus. with releases and remixes on enemy, modularz and his own truncate imprint, david has enjoyed strong support from renowned acts dettmann, klock, luke slater, chris liebing, speedy j, dvs1 and countless others. the members of raiz, vangelis and vidal vargas, have also been making waves with their work on historia y violencia, silent steps, gynoid, and droid. on this collaboration david and the vargas brothers combine the dry and groovy tool perfection of truncate with the concept and sense of depth raiz has been developing over the last year. the result is a series of 3 flawless tracks exemplifying the degrees of motion. inertia builds the ep with heavy drum programming and warm pad work. flux takes the energy up a notch with hard swing percussion, sharp analog noise and arctic synthesis. jude law leaves his seed. rhythm completes the cycle with a deeply grounded pulse, accented by an enigmatic call to consciousness and presence. degrees of motion is a solid showcase of this production teams potential.

g.h. is gary howell, longtime associate of modern love as one half of pendle coven and sometime contributor to the hate project. the ground ep features howells first material produced outside of pendle coven and takes on a much darker, more stripped down aesthetic - making use of location recordings amassed over the last decade. the title track extends over 7 minutes from a solitary bass pulse into a slow, three dimensional industrial reduction heaving with uncomfortable bass weight and a sense of nervous expectation. its like the bare, skeletal noise framework for darkest junglist hardcore stripped of its percussion - all bar a bass drum and intense shards of noise. albedo has more of a swing to it, dominated by a growling bassline and the metallic clunk of disjointed percussion at odds with the squashed funk lurking somewhere at its core. the template is extended on earth, a brilliantly discordant club variant that sounds like an r&b mastertrack exploded into 100 constituent parts and put together not entirely in the right order. it builds and collapses into itself, a stylistic oddity that at one and the same time brings to mind boards of canadas re- working of colonel abrams - trapped and the extreme frequency vortex of the raster noton lab

as the summer comes to a close, italojohnson releases its fourth release thereby urging party people to get in the dancing swing once again. on the long recorded side, you will find a progressive house track that can be hardly surpassed in any type in its directness. an unfussy arrangement, a straight oppressive subject and a low flying breakdown compose the a-stamped side. the sincerity of the first track of the flipside doesnt come short of any expectations. the concrete in-your-face-drumming, piano lessons and stabbing strings combined with the italojohnson charm becomes the (double a) aa-side. why? because italojohnson doesnt do b-sides. finally, the aa-2 track emotionally rounds up the release with italojohnsons trademark-sound in which all the brothers and sisters are invited to explore. make love!

terrence parker presents music works volume # 3 (catalog pmw003)this is a special 3 track ep personally compiled by legendary detroit producer & dj terrence parker. the a-side features a classic tp remix from his former intangible records label entitled >secret fantasy< by james sims. the b-side features a funky house swing track never release on vinyl by hot new producer dj mo reese (a former detroit resident who now lives in the us city of cincinnati). also featured on the b-side is another jazz-house fusion track entitled >love 4 sale< by dj leandre of paris, france (the man who brought you soul juice). all 3 of these tracks have been specially re-edited by terrence parker in august of 2011 for this vinyl release. for fans who like tps classic 1990s sound, these tracks are guaranteed to light up the dance floor!

rosa valle really are that unique and wide reaching a band - incredibly catchy intricate tunes that are not afraid to swing from serene to blistering. impossibly young and impossibly talented, the bare fact that this ep was recorded only a few months after the band formed, is jaw-dropping. exploratory, without ever being pretentious.

rene bourgeois loves to make music influenced by the fifties. swing and dance! mix from m.in & jonas fahz.

next up in the sofrito super singles series is the highlife underground ep – celebrating the bassline heavy sound of 80s highlife.
on the a-side we have teamed up with new london producer drumtalk for a remix of ghanas mpese mpese band. initially released in 1986 the original track was an extended medley – the remix balances the swing of the original with heavy bass and chopped chords, bringing the track up to date while respecting the vibe of the original – an intense example of futuristic highlife that bridges the gap between hackney and accra.
the flip sees the sofrito crew present a killer groove courtesy of the canadoes dance band, originally released on the rogers all stars label in 1982. a minor key intro drops into bouncing drums, handclaps and a bubbling bassline that build and build into a deep and unrelenting groove…

the jivers is a production duo formed by the two french djs/producers don pascal and fred spider. having not known each other before, their paths first crossed when both of them had moved to barcelona in 2007. soon they discovered their common love for deep and soulful music ranging from jazz, funk, brazil to nu-jazz, broken beat or house. their debut single >do what< has already been featured on the jazz&milk breaks compilation and received amazing feedback and spins from djs all over the globe and was brought to an even broader audience after being included on several compilations such as >saint germain des pres cafe<. now the song is being re-released in form of the do what ep including a brand new track called >move on girl<, again featuring the unmistakable voice of anqui and remixes by dj moodz, don pascal and fred spider. the jivers music can be described as a dance-floor oriented fusion of jazz elements with modern beat productions including the colorful and melodic vocals of anqui.

panther veil is the debut release on dublin based apartment records. over the 3 tracks london producer ncw explores various avenues of house music in a stripped back, unique fashion. opening with the slowburning, detroit-tinged swing of veil, the flip serves up the bent out of shape jack of my braindead acid, while panthers relentless late night groove rounds things off in a blurry haze

deep house/us garage veterans mateo & matos have been around longer than the ark. yet they remain capable of great things, as >want u tonight< proves. its a deliciously dizzy deep house concoction that marries contemporary production (see the beefy bottom end) with the twittering synth melodies and loopy organ hooks of old new york house and garage (think nu groove meets henry street). studio54s remix is classic new york deep disco house, while trevor loveys version has more of a uk jazzy house swing. all the mixes are wonderfully slick and groovesome. swayzak & phreek plus one deep symphoniac mixes is wonderful for morning and chill gigs.

dj t.s pleasure principle album immerses itself, wholly and rapturously, into electronic musics legacy of authentic soul, helping to usher in a renaissance of groove-heavy house. following the success of the albums singles burning and sense, dj t. turns to the sultry vocal track >city life< to launch into summer anthem mode. dj t.s unconcealed dancefloor curiosity brings his body music instincts to the fore, with the classic sounding house number >city life<, shadowy quirks disarm and charm, while cari goldens uniquely programmed vocals add broad brushstrokes of texture and atmosphere. >city life< recalls the 1980s warehouse era, and finds cari crooning, siren-like >the citys in my veins…<, mixing a rough-round-the edges vocal treatment with hands-in-the-air chord stabs. the >dj t.s rework< spreads the arrangement wider, and dj t. draws even more groove from the original with his dub version. a deep bass swing drives the track, and increases its intensifying atmosphere

jem stones unique take on any genre is always compelling and highly individual. he made an impressive and memorable contribution to the early days of electro swing with the break-beat, dance-floor-filling flavors of his debut release on freshly squeezed, the electric circus ep (2010). now jem returns with a perfectly timed and unexpectedly fresh twist on a sound that has sometimes, in less skilled hands, become formulaic in its swift rise. the perpetual lotion ep raises the bar once again and opens up many new possibilities. this record will change the future direction of electro swing!
here the 1920s and 30s samples arent just backed by a house beat, but given such a distorting twist the whole has become something else entirely. the ep is slower and darker than before with brooding bass and deeper production that adds a vital contemporary edge.

new kanada wades deep into the white waters of bass for this black summerdub. >my best dress< is a tough, confident jacker with awesome, mystic vocals by rosina of lal. 808 thumps, moog whispers, and a serious cr78 swing – nicholas murray (aka murr) really massages the mixing board on this one, and the resulting production shimmers with unexpected aggression. adams remix extends the raw groove into a 12-minute journey that beats the wooden floorboards into pleasant submission. disco hats, b52 bass lines and suburban base drops – the new feel for the old style. new kanada goes blue.

and are a duo living in manchester, uk. they have released a split 12 inch with 16 bit on mindset in 2009, the second 12 inch on black sun records that came out recently and a couple of 12 inches on horizontal ground. they sent me various batches of tracks spanning a wide range of sounds, all rooted in techno to my ears but spanning different tempos, emphasis and mood. i selected three of those tracks to appear on this ep, ranging between 130 and 135 bpm. (project squared)
