after a five year release hiatus, in 2018 yura khlop is putting out music under his se62 alias again. “jazzed ep” is the second release in the saft x series and the kiev based producer has delivered a class record.

the elusive producer nortasun hasn’t released a record since his debut one through saft back in 2016. after two years, it’s time for a follow up which is fittingly named “two”. the track titles also resume in a fashionable manner with the opening track being titled: “untitled 3”. on this track, nortasun introduces a firm rhythm that is supported by the impossibly beautiful strings that serve as the tracks key element and appear throughout. next up is the antonzap remix. antonzap doesn’t do the stereotypical remix take on the original. his version is dub laden, otherworldly, and only implements miniscule pieces from the original take. with just under 7 minutes, the remix version is a true sonic voyage.
on the b-side, nortasun takes a more dubbed out approach to modern day house music. “untitled 4” is a work of precision. the carefully crafted hats and dub elements sizzle throughout the entire track and help the track morph into a stunning piece of dance floor music around the four minute mark. nortasun cleverly introduces a thumping bass that changes up the mood for the entire work.

dâm-funk has left his la home for another dj tour across the european continent. what better way to celebrate this than to release a follow-up record to the infamous architecture release from 2016. architecture ii is an up-tempo, dreamlike journey through the sonic palette of the los angeles based producer. the 12” contains four tracks that are carefully crafted to co-exist on the same record.

saft is proud to present the official re-issue of the 1986 joan bibiloni band classic “the boogie”. the vocals by deborah carter still sound as relevant and uplifting as ever. the sought after guitar licks of bibiloni have appealed to a lot of generations ever since he started making name for himself in the early eighties. while in recent times some of the more experimental work has been re-issued and compiled through some respected labels, the dancefloor classic “the boogie” still remains the pinnacle of the guitarist more dancefloor oriented work.

exactly one year after their sold-out debut album zest, die orangen (aka dreems & kris baha) are zurück! malka tuti and die orangen have concocted a double dish, a two part remix package, saft 1 & saft 2. the first part consists of a new live version of the track yaranabe, recorded in a live session as part of the duo’s infamous analogue live act. a2 is tapan’s remix of metal man. the poem-not-poem is taking shape as a low bpm banger when tapan’s heavy signature kick meets those trippy vocals. this is tapan’s first track to be made after finishing their debut album last year on mt, and its an interesting evolution of their sound, slow dark and punchy, yet with these vocals and bassline, also a catchy post-pop track for the later hours. on the b-side lies gordon pohl’s reimagination of mersey river (aka “the platypus track”). the tracks “epic-, long slow ambient opening and evolution into rhythm resembles in many ways the psychedelic collaboration works of the late pete namlook & move d on namlooks own fax records, which was always a significant influence on the malka tuti world.

dublin based musician lerosa has built an impressive discography throughout the years. with his first efforts dating back to 2005 the producer who has a broad palette of sounds has already been around for over 10 years with releases for a vary of respected labels. for the first release on saftx, lerosa hands out a taster of the labels new series ambitions. vivrant house music is most definitely the back bone of playa de la guancha as a whole.

versatile parisian jay ka, offers a slow dripping slice of deepness to the saft following. with the help of paula king on vocals, title track only grace is a reminiscent anthem with strong vocals supported by lush chords and smokey rhode hits. as a real single should, this package also offers 3 interpretations of the original. with remixes by briton ny*ak and atlanta situated kai alce, this saft output should grab your full attention easily. where ny*aks rework maintains a more repetitive vibe with nicely timed vocal cuts, kai alces late night interpretation recalls classic vocal-house reworks from the glory days of extended 12inch mixes. as usual for a complete single like this, an instrumental version of kai alce s rework is included.

taylor freels has built quite a strong catalog over the years. his work under his urulu moniker, is widely regarded as top quality deep house and the banshee ep continues in this fashion. the title track has a dreamlike atmosphere to it. the banshee is a work that will strike a chord with lovers of the ocean-influenced sounds and hazy atmospheres. a strong presence of strings and dubby sounds, create a certain laidback mood that is perfect for sun drenched days in the park. chicagoan producer garrett david builds on the hazy atmospheres of the original, while adding some melodic elements to his remix of the banshee where he cleverly shifts between scales and different moods.
quadrant beat is a warm track that is built around warm chords and fashionable drum sounds. again, urulu makes sure to weave some outgoing dub elements into this b-side opening track. romance track is most likely one of the berlin based producer’s most melodic works to date. beautifully executed piano hits flow together seemingly easy over a sturdy rhythm that serves as the track’s backbone. the banshee ep is a work of lush deep house and an excellent addition to both urulu’s repertoire and the saft label catalog.

with adryiano and kastil on production duties for their løskøber alias (which first emerged through soul notes in 2013) the 15th saft release has some serious sounds on it. apart from the two originals this time around the label has acquired remixes from the likes of keita sano and berlin based australian andy hart.

the forthcoming release on spanish house imprint saft is a deep and grooving true house vinyl which will definitely provide you with some inner glow. the man behind this piece of fine wax is called washerman. this 3-track release is designed for clubs and outdoor jams where people dont necessarily need a scorching energy span to enjoy the music. with beautiful rhode sounds and touching vocal cuts this record should be in anyones record collection. raw but beautiful!

for the latter half of 2016 saft is proud to announce a release by the one and only funketeer and pasadena based connoisseur of the true underground funk-music dâm-funk. the trans atlantic collaboration between the canary islands based label and dam funk resulted in “architecture”. a 3 track limited 500 copies slice of otherworldly synths, drum machines and percussive grooves that showcase the true west coast sound of modern funk.

saft welcomes nortasun to it s expanding roster of artists. with not too much info being available about the artist, the music should do the talking. nortasun comes up with a sample drenched ep that consists out of swell basslines, mind expanding chords and outlandish percussion works. untitled 1 opens up with a carefully placed disco sample that hovers over the rhythms very nicely. the percussion section and the ascending chords serve the overal ambiance while nortasun plays with the extended loop pattern that maintains of interest. untitled 2 serves as a very deep but functional voyage into tribal territory. a vary of percussion sets in and smartly exchanges tones with fx cuts. on the b side fudge fingas debuts on saft with an atmospheric beast of a remix for untitled 1 that constantly grows and cleverly uses vocal cuts that change up the original atmosphere and makes the overall a very broad work of house music. the stevie wonder like clava hit + piano solo s that come in when the remix progresses are all in courtesy of the edinburghian producer himself.

with the eleventh installment in the saft series in place, the label has already celebrated their landmark tenth release. for the new record, the label has some adventurous sampling going on by the likes of ian blevins and ny*ak.

saft10 is a boogie infused record by grodno based producer four walls. seemingly effortless the belorussian newcomer to the saft family knits up an ecstatic wash of synths, pads and modish drum patterns.

geneve based pascal viscardi bring his rich and sweltering textures to saft with his first ep for the spanish label. the swiss producers paradiso ep is already the 9th installment and by no means an odd addition to the family. strongly rooted in soulful sounds with firm aesthetics and blissful melodies, this release is exactly what saft is all about. from the moment the pad in the title track starts riding, paradiso immediately hints to a deserted paradise.
tales from the emax (a2) is a groove laden anthem that will soothe those that are into soulful but firm sounds. on the b side, we find remix work of both originals. swiss house stalwart agnes stirs things up with his thriving rework of paradiso called la charme chambertin mixx. on the b2 cut we find saft familiar jefferson belmondo with a cracking rework of the title track *paradiso* called beach mix. 4 strong, groove-laden cuts that celebrate the saft sound like never before.

the new saft ep series are continued with an excellent va featuring 3 of the freshest producers around.

gear appreciating italian giorgio luceri enters the saft dome with the machine driven liger ep. on the opening track liger giorgio cleverly paints an elusive ambiance using jumbled drums and an appealing bassline together with a continual synthline that nicely sits on top of the serene pads that give rise to an intense atmosphere.

liverpool based andy ash hits the saft imprint with two excellent analog house jams. the overall sound andy comes up with, hints to the early machine driven house sounds from the late 80s on the a1 in love whilst transitioning into the more jammy house sound andy has been purveying on his string of latest releases on his a2 jam called black stem.on the b side saft regular kastil provides andy ashs >in love< with a heavy machine rework. kastil proves he has been crafting and perfecting his production skills with some new hardware gear. this remix hold the intense feel of a 4am sweaty club session. all and all saft proudly present the 5th installment in their series of pure and all round house releases.

dieses herbert grönemeyer-live-album aus dem jahr 1995 enthält 18 songs, die auf der chaos-tour in den jahren 93 und 94 aufgenommen wurden. dementsprechend enthält die scheibe viele tracks des “chaos”-albums. ebenfalls zahlreich vertreten sind hits der platten “bochum”, “Ö” und “luxus”. die großartigen kompositionen grönemeyers kommen bei solchen live-auftritten endlich in angemessener art und weise zur geltung. vor allem die älteren stücke wie “bochum” oder “männer” klingen in ihren studio-versionen doch ziemlich saft- und kraftlos, diesen typischen 80er-sound mit viel elektronik und wenigen gitarren kann man sich heutzutage wirklich nicht mehr anhören, und so ist man froh, dass der deutschrock-poet im live-bereich ein hervorragender showman und sänger ist und stets von einer großartigen rock-band begleitet wurde und wird.
die remasterte wiederveröffentlichung erscheint auf 180 gramm doppel-vinyl im klappcover.
