everybodys darling rahaan is back with three hard knocking acid tracks.

belgian producer krewcial is one of those producers who flits in and out of activity, and has done so since the mid 90s. lumberjacks in hell have called upon this slippery character to lay down some righteous grooves for their latest missive, and the results are sublime. -2u- is funky house how it should be done, all stomping drums, dreamy pads and soulful licks for the party people in the place. -heal- takes a more edited approach, holding back the bass for the ultimate dancefloor payoff. -hit me off- ramps up the jazzy keys for a detroit flavoured looped up throwdown, and then -the session- fires off one last sumptuous rip through peak time perfection

it s all going on for cervo at the moment. having just launched the banana hill label with an excellent record from majid bekkas (that he also did an edit for), the uk-based producer has now been snapped up by marcel vogels lumberjacks in hell label to drop more of his worldly edit science. on rhythm leads the charge with confidence on the a-side, using a bubbling, afro-infused disco-funk source and making it lean and mean for the floor. there s a distinctly nigerian lilt to the guitars that cluck away through dancing dream, but it s accompanied by bright chiming chords and a solid beat that will stand up to any contemporary house jam. banku is even more explicitly modern, although still layered up with gorgeous vocals and percussion from africa

ltd 2017 repress !!!amsterdam dwelling editor par excellence em vee took the solo reigns on the inaugural lumberjacks in hell - and truly excelled with a great reimagination of >miss you<. the second release on the label sees the german share duties with spanish edit demon rayko, with the rare wiri boss hogging the a side. first up is an expert rearrangement of candi statons cover of the bee gees standard >nights on broadway< which strips the track of its orchestral leanings to focus on the groove! following this is a meaty take on a classic, with barbara keiths cover of >all along the watchtower< reinforced with some bottom end bump. em vee spreads a special disco version of alma lees late 70s philly delight >gimme your love< with an extended intro that fully displays his edit talents

karizma and marcel vogel team up to worship the lord savior deapool himself. three gospel inspired housetracks, that bring spirituality back to where it belongs, the dancefloor.

marcel vogel s lumberjacks in hell label shows no signs of slowing as it ramps up a killer new salvo from debutant artist c scott. -climb on- is an uptempo workout to capture the absolute peak of the party in the funkiest of ways, while -hands free- provides an apt alternative with its slow, organ-led whimsy. disco remains the backbone of the sound here, whatever tempo the track rolls at and wherever it may head. -stuttering- demonstrates this perfectly with its heavily treated, head-spinning fx still capturing that classic good-time mood, while -at ease- finishes on a life-affirming canter of rhodes led celebration.

marcel vogel has decided to celebrate the first five years of his edit-heavy lumberjacks in hell imprint in the only way he knows how: by putting together a sumptuous double pack stuffed with fresh new material. in keeping with the way the label has developed in recent times, the eight tracks blend the boundaries between original productions, illicit remixes and straight re edits. there s a celebratory, life affirming feel throughout, from the rubbery bass, d-train synths and rolling house grooves of giovanni damicos the break down, to the bluesy deep house brilliance of borrowed identitys queens bridge. highlights are plentiful elsewhere, too, from the hustlin electrofunk meets disco of vogel s own come on, to the killer synth solos and fuzzy bits of tim jules thrilling slap beat.

repress 2015

em vee, the lumberjack of love comes out of retirement and chops up some favorite pieces. from boogie to high tech soul to proper disco. three killer cuts that cut the killer.

and here is something exciting for you. amsterdams mr mendel who had a proper 2014 already with releases on basic fingers, street edits and lumberjacks boogie debuts on lih as well. for killer reworks for the soulful dancefloor.

australian synthesizer enthusiast, boogie revivalist and occasional house producer inskwel dons his rarely used cold chillin inkswel alias for this outing on marcel vogels lumberjacks in hell outfit. while the aussie producers disco and boogie influences can be heard on lemonade city, for the most part the ep is a house-centric affair. mercury retrograde melds a midtempo, head-nodding chugger out of backwards synth melodies and analogue sounding beats, while ompai delivers his usual, soft-focus blend of vintage synths and warm, floor-friendly bottom-end. theres a chunkier feel about the heavily filtered disco bump of lemonade city, while degrees in the shade moves from metronomic house throbber to sparse p-funk jacker in the blink of an eye

eddie c is known for his work with endless flight, jiscomusic, red motorbike, 7 inch of love and and and. lumberjacks head honcho marcel vogel is happy to welcome him after wrecking many a party together. get it together already found its way into marcel s boiler room set. and what it is was rescued from a batch of neglected older tracks that eddie had made early on in his carrer but is actually a stone cold banger that s tearing apart every dancefloor.

marcel vogels lumberjacks in hell welcome the disco master al kent into the fold with the two track yes i cant 12 inch. al kent is a true original. not interested in anything but disco. dying his hair in a truly unique fashion, to match the sparkle of disco balls and having recently hired an octopus to help him chop up those records. both *yes i do* and *cant stop* highlight the glaswegians importance to keeping the true spirit of disco alive, deftly and tightly edited in a manner that would impress messrs hardy and gibbons were they alive today.

limited clear vinyl, phunked up house

continuing their forays into the world of yesteryear grooves unabated, those pesky hell-dwelling lumberjacks are at it again, this time drafting in o boogie and red greg for some disco funk finesse for the smoothest get-downs. o boogie lords it over the first side, leaning heavy on a rich piano hook that hammers lower register chords over an incessant disco tick, while evergreen track >papa was a rolling stone< gets re-versioned in such a floor-burning fashion you will need asbestos boots just to get out alive. red gregs >inner rhythm< plies familiar tropes into a sweet instrumental groove that makes all the right moves.

the excellent lumberjacks in hell imprint has served up some fine edits in its short lifespan to date, most notably from chicagos mutant beat dancer traxx and the labels latest release turns to two other windy city residents renowned for their collections and skills. rahaan needs little introduction for the disco loving community with essential drops on stillove4music, disco deviance and more, whilst mr sounds runs the excellent bring the heat website. this twelve is all about the a side >rainin bleeding boy< which puts a well loved uk ebm couple through the dub laden beatdown grinder - though djs will get plenty of mileage out of both tracks on the b side with >flip side< some supremely chopped up disco funk and >war i declare< a stomping and heavily filtered bomb.
comes on blue, marbled vinyl.

phat 70s inspired disco / edits

three more disco throbbers courtesy of em vee aka marcel vogel and the always on-point lumberjacks in hell imprint. the entirety of the a-side is given over to jam >body heat<, a phat, james brown sampling slice of shoulder thrusting funk that you may have already heard in the more discerning discotheques across europe. wisely, the two b-side cuts offer something completely different, with the loose drums and squealing brass of gospel-sampling >the shouting< a perfect counterpoint to the uptempo disco-strut of >mouzon<.

traxx - who has productions with international deejay gigolos and creme organization under his belt - is the man behind the third release from fledgling imprint lumberjacks in hell, following sterling efforts from spanish edits don rayko and the mysterious em vee. sprawled luxuriously across the a side is the epic 13 minute ode to danielle baldelli, >to the beat bizarre<, all tumbling drums, tangerine dream synths, and perfectly timed claps and keys. >an insane experiment<, influenced by ron hardy, clocks in at a meagre 09:47 and is characterised a straight up jacking rhythm, with junkyard drums, eerie synth squiggles and truly weird robotic gurgles trading blows before the track morphs into a full on acid wigout. in a word, awesome.
