quantec presents their new moments ep

rhythm is life and life is rhythm. not only is it our mantra here at neighbour recordings, it s also inspired the title of our debut release from brand-new production partnership and label owners base pilot aka quantec and birke tm. featuring four original tracks, the life is rhythm ep is a full thirty minutes of dope, low-slung house that perfectly unites the duo s many years of shared passion for deep electronic music. identify is the ideal introduction, swirling synths and deceptively hypnotic, it s a proper crafty cut, whilst ghosts leans towards a more emotive and subtle groove. title track life is rhythm is a warm and inviting ten-minute epic of chunky beats, quirky distortion and vocoded vocal snatches, whereas closing number on the early is seriously heads-down and deep. repeat after us, rhythm is life and life is rhythm.

mick harris arrives on lies via his fret moniker. a man who needs no introduction via his exploits in napalm death and scorn among a slew of other projects, harris returns after his lp last year, bringing fret back to life once again. four tracks of absolutely crushing broken techno, dense blasting and unstoppable chaos that lays waste to all in sight. trancers and candy ravers step aside. an unmissable record from a true originator.

(handmade sleeve / with download code) his debut vinyl is a recording of the longrunning piece stanzas or the law of the good neighbour. on each side, a pair of his friends reads simultaneously from a list of words. the list is an unfinished result of a word game andersen has been playing for several years. stanzas… seems to be a precise text-sound composition, a liquid and elegant piece of concrete poetry that reveals the individual qualities of the voices and their interpersonal relation.

the stunningly prolific manchester-based beat-monger my neighbour is has returned to the cold busted label for his eighth album of head nodding delights. elegantly titled moons reflection on a quiet lake, this set of funky dance floor nuggets showcases the producers acumen for punchy, rolling rhythms, smooth melodic textures,and cleverly woven sample tapestries. moons reflection on a quiet lake is perhaps the most accomplished effort yet from my neighbour is, evidencing an innovative producer on the rise. dont miss it.

fine beatz goes round 10 ... glückwunsch

the music on this ep was conceived in china, between 1989 and 1993. the original tracks were mixed to dat in real time, in a small neighbour-proof studio inside my apartment in macau, a 19th floor with a view to the hurricanes. there’s a small, unexpected or improbable story behind each track, some little magic fused with the local atmosphere, certainly guaranteeing their lasting authenticity 25 years later.

in 1973, emi records nigeria released the 45 rpm disc fuel for love b/w soundway, credited to a mysterious band called wrinkar experience. the record was a finely-crafted gem of pop-rock and funky soul as had never before been heard coming out of the countryÆs nascent rock scene, and it ended up being the biggest selling nigerian single up until that point. the success of wrinkar experience effectively demonstrated that was a market for homegrown pop and rock, and sent record labels scrambling to sign similar bands, kicking off the nigerian rock revolution that is still being celebrated and discovered by new generations today. but while wrinkar experience launched the movement, the group itself would be short-lived: after another hit single in 1973, the bands frontman danie ian split for a solo career. the remaining principal players in the group cameroonian musicians ginger forcha and edjoo jacques racine tried to keep the wrinkar name going before giving it up and rebranding themselves as rock town express. rock town expresss debut lp funky makossa was recorded in 1974 for arc records, the cutting-edge studio and label established in lagos by english drum legend ginger baker. the album showcased in long format the qualities that had only been hinted at on the wrinkar experience singles: bright, confident pop melodies, articulate lyrics, and darkly potent funk-rock. comb & razor sound is proud to present a new, fully-authorized reissue of funky makossa, featuring the seven tracks from the original release, plus i am a natural man and i dont want to know, from wrinkar experiences seldom-heard third and final single.

time for a little neck bulging, slimy skin hip-slinking summer fun as a true craftsman steps from the studio shadows: jay shepheard, who’s back with a track that’s so infectious if you licked its back you’d trip for weeks. prepare yourselves for ‘bullfrogging’: wry funk, warmth and humanised technoid soul. taking a vocal texture then processing, harmonising and splicing the spawn out of it, jay’s precision balance of electronic hustle and anthromorphised action has all the hallmarks for a summer anthem. ‘early doors’ follows suit and there’s a massive clue in the title… soft-focused, warm, rolling and laced with textured chimes, it’s definitely tailored for those key transitions between warm-up and second gear. deep, trippy but coded with a hookiness that grabs rather than soothes, once again it’s classic shepheard but with a revitalised 2017 twist. hey, he didn’t lock himself away in the studio for twelve months for nothing, right? neither did jay’s long-time friend and neighbour mark henning, a man who hasn’t taken on a remix since the early 2010s. his return to the remix game is as poignant and powerful as jay’s return to releases as he removes around 70 percent of the frog and maximises the bullishness of the elements, creating a relentless tribal slammer of a version that still retains the warmth and soul of jay’s original. two returns to action, three killer tracks, one label you can always count on as your friend and no frogs harmed during the whole process. we’re pulling out some serious stops here.

flori s life signs marks the eighth release for voyage and the uk artist s debut for the label. an ode to the unexplored landscapes of mars, flori uses a refined aesthetic, not dissimilar to the original star gazers of detroit, to imagine and encapsulate the reality of being alone on point lake. two driving explorations, accompanied by a pensive ambient excursion, life signs takes flori and voyage into the areocentric orbit of our closest terrestrial neighbour

born out of a love for disco records and odd electronics, casino times is the project of producers joseph spencer and nicholas church - a musical partnership that is rooted in house and techno but often treads into the weird and wonderful. since first starting the project in 2010 spencer and church have steadily been crafting a back catalog that reflects their varied tastes and unique approach to electronic music. this has seen them release on a wealth of respected labels such as wolf music, futureboogie recordings & permanent vacation, just to name a few. the debut on omena, decoded ep , consists of four tracks highlighting a distinct development of their musical style. no need to dissect each and every track here to explain how it sounds, just play it and enjoy. everyone from your grandparents to your neighbour and best friend will ask for track ids.

whilst its neighbour has always taken the plaudits on the party front the steely city of sheffield has its own house history, with much of it residing in the warm buzzing darkness of the studio. its here that we find our latest robsoul rookie. a fresh name for the label, but a producer who is far from new to the game. tommy vicari jnr’s first release was pressed to the black gold and released back in 2004. since then there have been sporadic outings, but the last two years have seen a reinvigorated tommy roll out over ten new releases and play a huge part in putting sheffield s house music firmly back on the map. threshold of eternity sees tommy drop the northern grit to replace it with shimmering warmth and sunshine vibes across all four tracks. fidgeting rhythms, chopped samples and groove-heavy beats and bass are spliced together to create an essential feel-good release.

love potion is very pleased to introduce this killer 12inch by viktor birgiss. after creating some serious buzz with his live set at the impeccable sónar festival in reykjavik last year, this 12inch is further proof that the dude is full fledged. tomorrow is a gorgeous deep and twisted melodic cut, topped with a soothing vocal. on the flip you find shine and my neighbour.shine is a warm and bouncy cut, perfect for the summer terraces.my neighbour is more direct and raw, drifting on a rhythmic swell of percussions and a hypnotizing vocal loop, it really sums up this ep and what viktor birgiss is capable of

sometimes it is best to let the music do the talking, this is one of those occasions. local talks 46th release comes from exciting debutant sameed. little did we know about sameed before we got the four tracks for this 12 inch, for all we know it could be your neighbour. quick-firing the release is spend, functional as a set highlight with its dubby chords, vocal snippets and a wonky bassline. included on the b-side is a dub that will work perfect as a dj tool for those who want to go a little bit deeper. showcasing sameeds sense for keeping things stripped down and sweaty, still is a dirty exercise in acid witchcraft while getyoself can best be described as a delicately raw rhythm with dark textures.

josia played his colourful,excessive sound all over berlin at well-known venues as sisyphos or weekend, but also in numerous german cities and in neighbour countries like poland, luxembourg, lithuania or austria. as producer and remixer josia combines dirty electro bass lines with deep psychedelic soundscapes and effects on a base of minimal techno beats

wer schon das vergnügen hatte the brew uk auf der bühne zu erleben, weiß weshalb der ruf nach einem livealbum immer lauter wurde. die atemberaubende und energiegeladene show der drei britrocker aus grimsby sorgt nicht nur bei der band selbst, sondern auch bei ihren konzertbesuchern für schweißtreibende ekstase. live treten the brew uk von anfang das gaspedal bis zum anschlag durch und halten dieses bis zur letzten sekunde gedrückt. zu dieser emotionsgeladenen dynamik gesellt sich die charismatische bühnenpräsenz der drei briten, die mit viel herzblut und authentizität dargeboten wird.
nun kommt das album >live in europe< des englischen rock-trios endlich auf den markt. das 180 gramm doppel-vinyl transportiert die unbändige live-energie eines the brew uk konzertes in die heimischen vier wände.

the summer is bad as always in munich, but that is no reason to not have fun and spreading out the fire cuts. the 12 inch starts off with anisa, dedicated to marcos lady in mind and partner in wine. the eastern influences from his hood arent easy to ignore, and if u listen very carefully u can feel and smell the shisha dust inside the landwehr street.
in a city like munich its hard to rent an extra room for a studio due the extremely high prices, so we all have bedroom studios with the advantage that we can do music whenever we feel to. however our stressin turkish neighbour behaves like the pain in the ass of the whole neighbourhood. but we all have a vision and the night gives us the support we need to create our own space and our own time within our own spirit on 180 g vinyl from now on with a vinyl only cut on every 12 inch. twenty-three foreva!

phonokemi are one of the most exciting electronic musical exports that denmark has to offer. and that means really a lot, if we think that since many years now a very innovative and exellent techno music scene is growing up in our neighbour country. it is also no wonder that the duo regularly provides berlin label highgrade records with some of our most exciting new releases. the pair has repeatedly demonstrated that the combination of an experienced producer (jacob phono thiessen) and a first rate dj (kim kemi) is a winning combination that ensures the production of intelligent tracks that always make more than their share of revolutions on the worlds turntables. this latest ep is no an exception.

nang powerhouse sare havlicek bursts back into the synth-scape once more with the first track from his second nang album. sare is a firm favourite here in nang towers and the mercurial, slovenian dynamo has hardly stopped for breath since his last releases on nang (a well deserved new masters comp, a co-mix credit on beach disco and also as part of the transatlantic disco alliance ep). to remix vibe on you nang have called in the talents of fellow adriatic funkster ilija rudman, who places his seal-of-authority on the sonics and gets brassed up. uk based head of bear funk stevie kotey pairs up with this lightning-fingered-keyboard neighbour manestar to create a cool cross between haddaway & ten city. sare contributes an instrumental and a slowed down, pitch-bent, 115 bpm version. his slyly retiled nothing you can do version jumps forward 4 years to 1985, sounding like a long lost stock-aitken and waterman extended 12 dance cut. stay tuned for sare album number 2 later in the year. weve heard it.. its a goodie.

supported by sasse , wolf& lamb, djulz, trickski, chris duckenfield, willie graff, vera, huxley, afrilounge, lee jones, kris wadsworth, yakine, hauke freer, james teej (rekids),.. yes, its the man again, iron curtis! he has been climbing up for the last few months with various top releases (like on mule electronique, hudd traxx, undertones or his dirt crew recordings remix) and this is another proof why iron curtis is a man to watch. its all there: fat basslines, well crafted beats and great synths. real neighbour baaz (no joke, they live door to door) is adding a smooth remix to finish this well balanced pack. go and get 70!

since dial was established in 2000 there always has been the musical influence of isolee. from his first 12inches and his debut album >rest< on playhouse, rajko mueller was one main source of inspiration of all early dial artists- pantha du prince, efdemin, lawrence, carsten jost. more than that he became a lovely neighbour living close to the riverside of hamburg, a good friend whose pasta sauce would take a whole day to cook, and still a musician who would spend an extra long time to create his extraordinary pieces, drifting from version to version.

tres gueros are three white brooklynites led by the amorphous producer sleazy mcqueen. this collaboration as a whole has been a few years in the making with two vocalists, two guitar players and if that wasnt enough, he brought in beef wellington for some additional synthesizing work.
this is a feel good indie-dance track that you will keep any crowd dancing. we have got some great remixers on board from nu-disco gurus anthony mansfield who runs hector works with partner and crime nick chacona. neighbour and his signature disco-house sound, along with newcomer dave allison who runs kinjo music. for good measure sleazy mcqueen has added a big room dub!

while everyone is still getting down to the naughty neighbour ep, you lucky people have the follow up audiomontage nugget entitled the fun kit ep. theres no stopping the jimpster man at the moment and here we find him in finest form yet with an absolutely devastating piece of minimal, deep, jackin house...

7th single in fort knox fives radio free dc remixed series. a disco funk floorburner! side a gives us the neighbor remix of spirit of 75, featuring mustafa akbar. side b gives us the torpedo boyz remix of how to start a band featuring ian svenonius, ex make up and nation of ulysses

canadas #1 discofunk label returns with a vengeance. their first international signing, funktransplant, is one of the top live electronic funk bands in the netherlands - and this ep demonstrates why. luc superdeluxxx and mo. tea throw out the template for modern dancefloor house and inject loads of live instrumentation and real disco feel.

its 4 years that paul hadnt released any tracks (except remixes) on his own label but on and on is here to demonstrate that he hasnt lost his unique sense of vintage sound. a deep and melodic club tune! on the b side, we are very proud to offer 2killer remixes by a neighbour and a friend: julian jeweil. the strong bass line of the first vision makes it even more efficient than the original one. a must have for sure on this remix, julian jeweil added some crisp percussive elements with the mainmelodic theme behind that raise slowly but surely. this vision 2 will cause damage on the dancefloor.

prime direct are delighted to welcome kolour recordings to the roster, a us label with a fine pedigree. dallas, an area now renowned for its burgeoning house scene thanks to jt donaldson, who once again delivers a house masterclass. along with giom & lucas leizer, we have four tracks of outstanding quality, you may find it hard to pick your favourite.

continuing the international flavour to the jalapeno roster, the latest j-funk signing comes from long time compadres in the funk-breaking field of dreams – all good funk alliance. fast establishing themselves as the key players in the us scene alongside fort knox five, on this occasion frank & rusty are joined by neighbour and wax romeo from canada s homebreakin label who collaborate with agfa on the lead track sbc and provide another solo track on the ep. the ep has the trademark rolling basslines and crisp funk breaks that typify all good funk alliance’s records but tracks like >get the pieces< add jazz doublebass in the mix to provide a widescreen picture of what these boys can offer. neighbour introduces crisp electro basslines to his end of the productions to induce a head nodding, body popping fervour. tight like a pair of shoreditch jeans

ark makes us happy again with his punkfunk. weird stutterhouse patterns with hip hop grooves and funky vocals. for the latter he has invited two guests: on sucubz xavier vindard sounds even dirtier than james brown. this album should be listened to with your sneakers on because you wont stop moving your feet till your neighbour rings the bell
