rock

b-stock! cover with seam split. vinyl unaffected & mint. a year after his debut outing on the label, max essa makes a welcome return to hell yeah with the han zon roc ep, which is another of his impossibly laidback offerings. essa is of course the long time uk talent who has become a part of the balearic mafia thanks to releases on labels like aficionado, music for dreams, and his own jansen jardin. this is the second coming together of artist and label and is another timeless excursion far out to sea. opener han zon roc (midori coup) is an epic 12inch minute adventure that slowly awakens your spirit with new age guitar plucks and heavenly ambience before organic drums slowly being to drift into earshot. they grow ever larger as synths start to spray about the mix, hand drums pitter patter and big chords bring the soul-shine. its like the soundtrack to an afternoon boat party all condensed into one brilliant cut. how you showed me everything then gets super chill with lazy drum tumbles, bendy guitar lines and scattered hits. withering cosmic chords colour the airwaves and its a track that will slow your heartbeat to nothing. last of all, rain birds alfalfa jam is a analogue drum work out with early 90s hip hop influences and diving basslines. it s light and airy, nimble and playful and of course filled with the sort of tropical rays that make all of essa works so brilliantly escapist.

repress 2019 - all that jelly and no toast - like when you find a bomb tune that s unavailable on 12-. the new sublabel of smile for a while is exactly about this. clubby house music by well-established producers as well as from lesser-known guys. french guy alex agore opens the ep with the lowtone remix of -what did i do- - cut-up garage house to the maxx. max chapman from london delivers another belter, a bassline-driven organ house tune with a minimalistic but very effective set-up. oleg poliakov - aka skat and one of the guys behind circus company - comes up with a sublime but powerful tech house tune, in the original sense of the genre name. -jazzve- is a tune by russian producer mutenoise. it s maybe the most original, innovative tune on this ep. full of surprises and cutting-edge elements - hard to compare to anything else around these days.

after a busy eighteen months promoting his debut album, essex-hailer max chapman brings us his la fiesta ep on hot creations. the title track features alongside remixes by the versatile luca cazal and house veteran todd terry. with latin vibes from the outset, max has encompassed the essence of the white isle. la fiesta is a migration of percussion, chanting and melodic vocals and flirtatious basslines. luca cazal has turned up the kick and brings an old school vibe with his remix. todd terry’s energetic arrangement of snares and bongos compliments the provencal vocal perfectly. since his arrival on the scene six years ago, max chapman has released on an abundance of labels including viva, toolroom and last years body jack on elrow, that achieved number one status across all genres on beatport. established in 2012, his imprint resonance records provides a platform for the freshest talent in underground tech-house. max’s album catch me if you can, released last year, received a notable 9/10 in both mixmag and dj mag. luca cazal has been steadily rising up the ranks since his debut release on crosstown rebels in 2013. constantly refining his production skills, luca transmits positive emotions with every track he releases. after three decades on the scene, grammy-nominated legend todd terry has continued to release superior productions and entertain crowds worldwide.

toolroom is delighted to welcome one of the most exciting new prospects on the uk underground house scene to our flagship label. max chapman burst onto the scene less than three years ago with a string of quality releases on highly respected imprints such as elrow, snatch, viva and lost. with a huge overall beatport #1 under his belt last year in body jack , 2017 is shaping up to be his biggest, most successful year to date - and this ep is seriously large. he locks horns with up and coming maestro george smeddles here for a 2 tracker that ticks all the boxes for a solid underground cut. the lead track, zulu , is a peak-time tech houser with ridiculous grooves, plenty of energy and that tribal vocal hook on the drop that everyone will be singing back to you upon it s release. the b-side charger slows things down a little and adds some sexy, bumpy grooves to proceedings making this a perfect, and flawlessly produced ep. support from riva starr, gorgon city, technasia, groove armada, denney, nathan barato, joe t vannelli, harry romero, doorly, solardo, latmun, uto karem, chus & ceballos, ruben mandolini, waifs & strays, kydus, s-man, tuff london, mat.joe, tcts, miguel bastida, filterheadz, david penn, adrian hour, goncalo, ben remember, secondcity, rich wakley, oscar l, paco osuna, ferreck dawn, martin ikin, vanilla ace, enzo siffredi

fresh from live performances at bonobo’s outlier festival, the quietus stage at the great escape, and supporting max cooper, london-based production virtuoso guy andrews revisits his acclaimed debut album ‘our spaces’. informed by audience reactions at these shows, he takes two of the lp’s standout tracks and reconfigures them for the dancefloor, with devastating results. meanwhile two like-minded artists tackle the album’s lead single ‘in autumn arms’. max cooper crafts a formidable collage of idm textures, with staccato beats punctuating the lilting guitar riff, whilst dj mag’s former ‘best breakthrough producer’ ben pearce takes the track into the main room, turning in an elemental 4/4 floor-burner.

anhura vinyls debut in the exclusive and acclaimed vinyl edition is, as it was expected, a complete success. max chapman & aj christou are in charge of gruds & kecks. this release starts with a moderate disco house nearly background melody at some points, and evolves into more tech grounds which plunge us directly in a deep, retro-spatial sphere. a place where this electronic and bass sounds coming from the 80s and 90s provide it with amazing timelessness whenever it is heard. it is an uncommon release diverging from the mainstream and ideal to start a completely promising series.

max ulis wrote the plug soon after acquiring a syncussion, the twisted rubbery lead makes way to a euphoric synth line, perfect vibes for a trippy late night set. dean j. grenier joins forces with max ulis for acid cove, an electro tinged track which was made after a psychedelic outing at the beach in the pacific north west. yoyaku artist varhat takes the plug and sculpts it into a minimal heater on his debut north american release. with 22 alias’ and global recognition building the yoyaku brand, this remix is a must-have for your record collection.
