finally a fresh mcde is announced! new one from long time deep house/broken producer, pablo valentino... . its been four years since label co-founder pablo valentino became a daddy, and almost as old is the idea of him releasing a record on our imprint. so what makes more sense than to dedicate this record to hugo-joão, his son? on -my son s smile- we can hear a recording of hugo-joão s laughter over a mellow, summery house track that has been a big favorite of danilo over the years. with a little help from lyon producer patchworks, who played bass on the track, valentino pulls off one of his most sophisticated productions yet.

coming straight from the innermost creative vision and craftsmanship of airdrops cherished andres zacco is this delectable record, designed with dexterous techniques and impeccable taste. this is already andrés second record on airdrop, after his >seated hopping ep<, released in april 2009, that had received outstanding reviews in the european trendsetting press including de:bug (ger), trax (fr) and groove (ger).

seth troxler & the martinez brothers’ tuskegee music welcomes chicago legend k- alexi shelby for a new ep that features some essential solo cuts as well as two great collaborations with tony lovlesss. k-alexi is a genuine chicago great. he’s been at the core of the scene since the eighties and releasing his raw grooves on dj international, trax and transmat, as well as his own k klassik label. he has recently remixed for seth troxler’s other label, say it play it, but is now back serving up the sort of engaging originals that have made him such an enduring star.

smile&stayhigh is label based in bologna and founded by dj cream. pure house music for da blazers

the brother s leeb are releasing their first limited, vinyl only e.p. on smile for a while. now, who are those guys? one of the bros - dj eb-clectic - helped building germany s hip hop scene during the late 1980s and 1990s in frankfurt / main, but also did some chicago house tunes with deskee and gene farris on force inc. in the 1990s, as well. this brother is a real keeper! the other bro - leander janik - is in his mid 20s and quite an avid home composer on his little roland synthie. he s a long term member of the s4aw crew, and has shared a studio with all the other guys. needless to say the brothers are hell of a dj duo, too...

after a short hiatus to axe on wax and his return to tieffrequent records monosoul is coming back to s4aw, too... monosoul s signature sound is still there and yet has changed a bit. more bouncing basslines, more deepness and more synth textures... on remix credits we ve got atlanta s very own byron the aquarius. 2016 was an exceptionally good year for him in the biz with releases on wild oats, sound signature, etc. in 2017 he will totally go big with his unique, deep - no frills jazzy impro style. so we re more than happy with his own chord jams making up a top notch remix. what s left to be said well like michael brody put it: nothing is more important than friendship. not money, not fame, not death. crew love is true love!

smile for a while has recently moved to berlin and calls for jana falcon, a local, emerging house music producer . -falling (again boy)- is an intricate fusion of garage and house textures, it s a sultry, catchy tune with stunning spoken-word vocals and a bed of fuzzy beats that give it a really contemporary gloss. things then go off in another direction with the brilliantly named, -contemplation of inadequacy-. this one is crafted on another hypnotic tip, drawing the listener in with another bevy of atmospheric vocals and a bassline that s pure fire. in -petrias house- jana goes for a more upfront house sound. simmering piano keys lend this one a sun-soaked flourish, precisely the tonic for the fast-approaching summer. the release closes with a thoroughly banging remix by we play house man, dynamodyse. a tune that s thoroughly engaging and is sure to get your head in

-christos mavridis is a many of many guises. he s done an ep on - house is ok , some tech house on noir music, kindisch or get physical and right now he s preparing a tier-1 techno career...for s4aw he delivers a dancefloor-heavy house music ep showing of

ltd to 225 copies , the smile for a while crew turn to italian producer andrew soul for their latest transmission, resulting in a loud and proud record of house music histrionics tapping into an old-skool sensibility. soul enlists hard ton for vocal duties on the a side tracks, which range from the emotionally charged deep house depth charge -sweet love- to the grinding dirtiness of -take me higher-. on the b side, nico lahs gets to work on -sweet love- and turns it into an irresistibly funky shuffler with plenty of new jersey garage flavour rubbed into its bones. -your breath- then rounds the ep off with a freaky cut perfect for the after party

sebastian maschat a.k.a. stoneage kid has been around in the house music scene for about 15 years now: cult stoner house with extra produktionen , drummer in erlend oye s whitest boy alive and numerous other projects. stoneage kid is an hardware / mpc based act, with own vocals and a very distinctive electro pop aesthetique. his first ep on smile for a while creally sounds like captain comatose meeting isolee in some purple haze panic room. you ll find melancholic drum machine jams, some serious synths, lotsa vocoder and a lot of bassline-bumping. phillip lauer delivers a refreshingly cheesy remix with god singing solo and the holy ghost on drums just as expected. hang on to a dream is quite a special tune, written and sung by german indie veteran otto von bismarck. this remix version is really something for intimate connoiseurs of both pop and house music.

some more uncut diamonds by s4aw... robert nedelcu aka lecsicu from rural romania is only 26 but already a skillful and dedicated producer of oldschool-flavoured house music with a tek-edge. on top we ve got vocals by berinika van wyk a singer born in south africa. robert was inspired by guys like rick wade, mr. g, kerri chandler, and of course moodyman. his trademark are strong percussions, little harmonies every now and then and a “tracky” atmo to his tunes that sound very chicago-ish. all three original tunes are pure, vintage-style house music a little on the tech side. so this clearly is an ep for the dancefloor and for early morning sessions when the sun s coming up again... “route to 95” received a groundbreaking rework by detroit house music veteran gari romalis. with incredibly deep subbass sequencies he makes this tune a deep jam like you never heard one befor

janis is hell of a frankfurter. born and raised that is. his bold imprint -house is ok-,being run with two friends was started 1 year before -smile for a while-, so there was surely some kind of inspiration coming from that end.

nice price deal !!! fresh groovin acid vinyl... hypnotic 303 madness

smile for a while is going into the next round. this time with some long-time friends of ours, hailing from different parts of germany

for the second chapter in the smile for a while story, label heads daniel and david call on a veritable host of frankfurt-based producers, with the ffm vol. 2 ep one thats very much deserving of its vinyl release.

here comes strike number 3!!the new ep will be made by andrea di rocco, who is known for more massive beats, but now, as mr. smiley guy produces a more housy sound. but still the a-side tracks ohne mayo and ohne senf, which are full of drums, deep vocals and a significant baseline, have a driving feel to it.on the b- side left hand has continuing, harmonizing and warm synthie-sounds which gives it a deep-house feeling. on top of that there is a smooth dubnitzky remix, which is for more relaxed moments. all in all a perfect package to start the autumn. massive feedback by dubfire, maceo plex, maya jane coles,david squillace, shlomi aber, pig&dan and many more

in following up marcellus pittmans killer eastside story, seventh sign waste no time in bringing another red-hot act to the label. a member of the legendary underground resistance / los hermanos / galaxy 2 galaxy crew, santiago salazar has also enjoyed success as a member of the trinity (with mad mike banks and gerald mitchell) and more recently as ican, not to mention his many solo outings. his pedigree is unquestionable, a fact not lost on the many labels that have played host to his music, including submerge, planet e, motech and now seventh sign. santiagos sound is full of soul and warmth and is presented using state of the art production and a rich palette of modern sounds, as this e.p. demonstrates to devastating effect... hot!

in 2007 tom dazing established himself as one of the most up and coming artists of belgium. at just 21 years of age he can count richie hawtin, josh wink, james zabiela, marco bailey, ambivalent, gabriel ananda, seth troxler, dominik eulberg, skoozbot and many more to his supporters. toms first heimatmelodie-ep was sold out after 3 days so its about time for more insane minimalism! the ep is opened by >sweet lady luck smiles<, a deep and dark sub-bass-mover featuring one of the filthiest synths you ever heard. quite contrary is >pun intended<, a quirky and uplifting party-mover destined to cause major damage on your primetime-dancefloor. the b-side offers 2 deeper tracks, the original of >visually hungry< is a hypnotic and slowly building groove-track, while arnaud le texier delivers a truly mental and dark technointerpretation. toms trademark outstanding sound quality shines through on all the tracks and finally turns this package into a musthave. all tracks written and produced by tom van der kelen

the a side is the creepier of the two and the revamp, also done by konrad, this time under his rockit moniker (gee, this travelling wagonbury knows how to play hide & seek) comes with a dirtier, more in your face bassline. now , as we did our fair share of doing the write up its your turn to do the maximum playout folks, on & on please as this is our new definite favourite on the young label. sick!!!! richie, ricardo and ata all played it the same night (new kids on acid-berlin) àtiefschwarz, ivan smagghe opened their set with it at fabric last saturday
