ambient / drone lp by vesus

futureboogie open their 2017 account with a new release from lizards, the newcastle based duo otherwise known as lee forster and james hadfield. after appearances on labels like leng records, join our club and not an animal records, lizards strut their stuff across two original tracks, whilst man of the moment lord of the isles weighs in with a superb remix. the percussion driven house of “tzatziki” kicks of the release, wrapped in warm and inviting pads and piano riffs. shades of old school chicago house meet sun-kissed balearic vibes on this early morning riser, as the heavyweight bass sounds curl around the raw drum programming and illuminating keys sprinkle over the production. on “aloof”, the tempo is taken down somewhat, as a bass line wanders over a steady kick and otherworldly ambient sounds and hushed vocal clips lazily glide over the 4/4 arrangement. as the track unfurls, more melodic and percussive elements come into play, blossoming into a something quite epic and unique. with a slew of releases for quality imprints like permanent vacation, firecracker, mule musiq and esp institute, neil mcdonald, aka lord of the isles, serves up a deliciously chugging version of aloof. gurgling bass and marching handclaps are dowsed in dramatic synth sweeps and glacial tones, as the good lord takes us on a monumental ride.

for their latest slice of saucer-eyed balearic perfection, leng records has looked to the north east of england for inspiration. lizards is a freshly minted project from newcastle-based twosome lee forster – better known as one third of balearic house combo last waltz, whose impressive releases have appeared on world unknown, futureboogie, endless flight and is it balearic? – and long-time friend james hadfield of nein records’ elizabeth collective.

lizards are lee forster (1/3 last waltz) and james hadfield (the mainstay of the elizabeth collective). taking over a full side, and clocking in at over 9 minutes, anthemic understatement is a very difficult trick to pull of, but the deepness of feel here, coupled with the restraint shown in rhythm and melody, allows the track space to ebb, flow and truly get under the skin of the listener. it s one of those rare tracks that are as equally beautiful as they are danceable international track lives up to it s name, seeing the north eastern english producers channel the japanese take on the balearic sound as heard in productions by artists such as cosmes.

green / brown splattered vinyl, 180g pressing, finest deep house lp by osunlade

was ich an diesem track mag, ist die tatsache, dass er nicht so überwältigend ist wie viele spirituelle house-songs, die diesem ähnlich sind. der sänger liefert und versucht nicht, mit der welt oder sich selbst zu konkurrieren.

new to the naar stable, in:state & giuli make their debut in stunning style.visitoz is a straight forward techno affair, as bumping as it is surprising. using a deceptively simple gated arp and horn to dazzlingly complex effect. the track is potentially the most peak time naar has gone yet, and it s an incredibly welcome addition to their canon. on remix duty lauer takes a hold of the main arpeggio and turns it monstrous in the style of liasions dangeruese, yet balances this with his trademark lightness of touch and his ear for a heart wrenching synth line, creating an instant classic that feels like it was beamed straight in from 1986. -plus 1- has been sent from a parallel dimension where the evolution of music took a turn so different that proto garage stands where proto house should be. the track has the step and swagger of the most compelling end of the 2 step movement, but balances that with the surprising naivete and earnestness found in italo, ebm and early forays from chicago. finishing things off, lizards return to the label for a welcome encore following last years success with their 1st release,tanni.

forriner is lee forster and oli worriner.
i made music together with lee for years (alongside mick rolfe) as last waltz. he also worked as lizards with james hadfield (james released solo for me me me 02), oli worriner, is a talented young northerner who’s already making a great name for his solo output, both under his own name and his traela alias, as well his label “tunnyl recordings”.
i’m really flattered that they’ve let me release their first full solo release, and i love how they’ve brought out each others deeper and more emotive sides in these 2 tracks. shit robot is a hero of mine. i basically wore out the grooves on a bunch of his dfa stuff from just over 10 years ago, and i’ve avidly bought everything he’s released since. i met him this summer for the first time when we shared the bill at a festival, and was so happy to find that he’s also lovely guy in real life. they say you should never meet your heroes, but i don’t subscribe to that as this meeting led to not one, but two fantastic remixes for me me me 08. the originals are a bright mix of melodically analogue left leaning house, while the remixes zero-in on a punchier dancefloor vibe, with an epic version goodnight, as well a more heads down disco dub.
so yeah, links within links, and keeping it northeastern again i guess.

butterflies is lord tang s second full length release. it is a warm descent into a dub fueled frenzy of color and light. it is a sound dredged from the depths of jamaican dub and spun into a new form that incorporates the many influences on lord tang s creator, dominic cramp: soundtracks, library music, vintage science fiction, broken beats, dirty electronics, modular electronic music, abstract tone clouds.

gelert takes a journey from crib y ddysgyl over to crib goch, the third highest peak of the 3000’s. 3000.3 delivers more illusiveness, the compelling story grows and the peaks remain nippy! this time luvjam invites bob, laffer, lizards, rnr and traela to join the rucksack club!

featuring charlotte le rouge on vocals this is a haunting balearic song with sparse, but tense beats. the cosmic metal mother remix adds some sax and takes the track down to lower manhattan with a lounge lizards vibe. b/w a remix by label head dennis kane that brings the party vibe.

last years universally acclaimed full-length the predicting machine found musical mastermind and producing demigod john tejada in full gearhead mode. hunched over a plethora of synth modules, the la-based sound wizard dug deep into the circuits and put together an expertly crafted album driving both lab rats and floor lizards in a glorious frenzy. now, the puppet master returns with somewhere, a double headliner 12 inch relighting the fire and putting the beats where the mouth is.

brand new release on apple pips from upcoming star brackles, one half of funk step outfit brackles & shortstuff, combining influences spanning techno and garage this is the apple pips sound and their pushing things in an interesting direction, both with their music and their stunning artwork. support from appleblim, mary anne hobbs, ramadanman, untold etc.
