greco-romance. it has often been said that the early underground parties thrown by the greco-roman artist collective, party and record label were romantic affairs. maybe it was the punch, maybe it was the music, but love was certainly in the air. and so the third solo ep from hot chips joe goddard picks up where last summers ep *taking over*s love affair with club basements left off.
unfinished business is the latest step for luke solomon, a mix album for his kaleidoscopic talents that gives him the chance to highlight what is still the bedrock of his extraordinary career: being behind the turntables and digging out those records you really should be listening to but might have missed in the avalanche of background noise. this handpicked four track sampler highlights some of the exclusive vinyl only releases from the forthcoming compilation.
over the course of his twenty-plus-year-long career, luke solomon has made one hell of a name for himself: he has released dozens of singles and eps on labels like crosstown rebels, rekids, cajual, and playhouse, to name a few, founded his own imprint, classic, with longtime friend and co-conspirator, derrick carter, dropped four albums, and had a hand in well over 100 remixes. as one might expect, it is a tremendous honor to now welcome the veteran dj and producer to lph, where we think he fits in perfectly, despite being the artist in our ranks with the most impressive tenure.
KING SOLOMONS MINES (SOFT ROCKS / BRENNAN GREEN RMXS)
12 Inch 28.08.14
after a best-selling debut record, low budget family - an independent moscow-based record label run by the crew behind the legendary shop&bar denis simachev formation return, and how! king solomons mines from simple symmetry is quite a classic in the making - a deceptively simple workout that reminds of mid 80s boyd jarvis jams, but shot through with 21st century twists and turns, that amplify those tough drum machines, anthemic afro elements, chants and marimba riffing. add a truly dynamic arrangement and you have a dancefloor dynamite! it is disco royalty on the remix tip as soft rocks & brennan green step up. as expected, given the incredible ingredients, the two of them shine. soft rocks set up a classic euro flavoured afro-trance workout, utilising the parts against a far more electronic and unrelenting backdrop, building to a sweaty, strobe-lit finale. brennan green may be less than prolific these days, but he is dependable as ever here. working up a synth-soaked, prelude style dub, whose classic elements will work the floor from here to zanzibar…
confidently striding into his third musical decade, luke solomons influence stretches far and wide across a scene that has been embedded in his dna since the early 90s. now harnessing that wealth of experience and unmatched passion for music, solomon presents his next undertaking, positioning himself as the dj/shop assistant/curator you always dreamt about
KEEPIN IT REAL (NICONE & PHILIP BADER RMX / COLOURED VINYL ONLY)
12 Inch Coloured 12.03.14
vinyl only! first edition in special black & white split-colour design! dapayk solo hits hard on the head with >keepin it real<. nicone & philip bader use up the full length of the flip for their remix. every inch of this side is filled with an evolving deephouse version of dapayks original.
when luke solomon got in touch and said he wanted to work with local talk we felt both honoured and happy, especially since we have been fans for a long time and mats actually booked him to his raw fusion club in the late 90s. he has been around long enough to be considered a legend within the scene. we couldnt agree more. lost channels, a 130 bpm piano driven and punk-dubby new york inspired house track comes in two versions. the raw & stripped version is exactly what the name says, sharp snares & hi-hats, piano chords, a driving rhythm with lukes trademark percussion sprinkled on top. the live piano version is actually the original version and is peppered with more of everything. bubbly fx, more of that staccato piano and of course that muscular bassline. for remix duties it is the return of an old local talk friend, wil maddams. it seems like wil has spent some time in detroit since last time. this remix sounds like something that would come straight out of the d, his clever drum programming holds this track together with its deep pads and bubbling bassline. it is a retro (but fresh) techno jam for 2014.
after the last singles, fenou presents 20 as a split ep again. the a-side cut is flled with strings and boxers by dapayk solo. built on a gentle but quite hypnotic analog beat, epic strings and harp sounds unfold next to stylistically confdent electronica instruments, which mutually offer space to be returned in the next part.
mile end records is pleased to present their latest release, slide, which is a collaboration between two undisputed legends of house music: roy davis jr. and robert owens
