4x dope on golden plastic.

slam city jams are back with their first compilation. a 4-tracker packed up with five amazing artists from all over the globe. and lets face it: its a breaky affair! starting off with our munich homeboys from coeo. known for their funked up house tunes on toy tonics, they start into complete new realms this time. ‚never going home‘ is the perfect example of a dope broken beat electro tune, that with its weird synth line & smooth breakdown never failed on a gig in the last months. on a2 the man doppelate from london (lets go swimming rec.) exactly hits the spot with mezmerizing synths, tight drum programming and a crunchy acid bassline on ‚four feet up the stairs‘. the flip side starts off with label head honchos rhode & brown, who teamed up with their buddy leo woelfel from austria, both known for releases on toy tonics, public possession or lets play house. here the name ‚more drama (less hysteria) says it all: pure drama on this breaky acid tune! to round up this great package weve got marco lazovic from moscow on b2. he digs deep ‚in the jungle with rolling 707 drums, dreamy synths and this tropical atmosphere we cant get enough of.

two floor-smashing highlights from the gnarliest corner of the spectral sound library get a welcome reissue on the first limited addendum 12” to the dope jams nyc volume 1: 2005-2012 compilation. first up is futuristic acid banger “poison dart” by 2 am/fm, the double-headed beast of ann arbor’s d’marc cantu and james t. cotton. beginning with an eerie synth coiling endlessly around a shuffling, anxious beat, the track unexpectedly blasts off with one of the nastiest acid basslines since “washing machine.” commanding, otherworldly, and freaky to the core. on the flip, cotton flies solo and tosses listeners headfirst into his chaotic and terrifying “bizarre carnival.” pounding kicks, blown-out bass and frenzied synths relentlessly collide with one another, creating an endless nightmare of a world on the verge of machine-induced annihilation.

esperanzas 25th release comes from labels boss kasper. been this his third solo release on the label and the second of his dope beats series, on the a side we have the art of rebellion, a deep burner with some disco infused sounds all over the place. the track builds up around a heavy bass sample filtered in and out from start to beginning. b side, the dreamer, is just yet another example of kaspers love for the classic sounds. this time teaming up with vitorias best kept secrets, mario castillo, also known as kastil for his releases on soul notes, outernational and seven music, they deliver a true tribute to chicagos house sound from the 80s. 707, juno and what more!

haunting, post-house deconstruction from russian outsider neotnas. >that day< is vocal dance music for lost souls, disparaging practical compromise and sunny chord progressions for a bones-bare, ruthlessly sincere interrogation of hopelessness, apathy and ultimate transcendence. suppressed waves of orchestral melancholia pass through entrancing heroin-paced percussive mechanics, unveiling the cavernous sprawl of neotnas masterful production. casting an icy shadow of depth and despair that is not easily shaken, four by fog lends his unexpectedly beautiful vocals to the project, proving the axiom >if you dont have the key, just break the lock<.

nice price deal !!! resurfacing a few years major his explorations >at the end of the world<, dan quin throws from left field and scores a hit with his unorthodox take on vocal house music. >everybody knows< is a party-rocker with heart and integrity, remaining loyal to the tenants of dark, exploratory house and techno while superseding the problematic attachment to the past that has retarded the development of song-based dance music. the result is a sprawling, ominous and moving piece of internally conflicted electronica, caught in the ford between a reverence for the work of electronic-pop visionaries like fever ray, and the loyalties of the vast, red-lit expanses of nyc rooted club music. featuring the fresh new talents of brooklyn native tammy k., >everybody knows< is the latest release on dope jams very own in-house record label, a new manifestation of soulful house for a new generation of dance music devotees thirsty for the universal sensibilities of the vocal without the tired cliches of yesteryear.
