A1 - Leonardo Ceviche 
A2 - One (For Mom)
B1 - Havel 
B2 - Havel (Trip Mix)

The second instalment of Nachtbraker’s new label features four new original tunes from the Nachtbraker kitchen.Expect his signature deep grooves and inventive arrangements with moody synth melodies. 

Leonardo Ceviche is built for the dance floor, a “lean back” groove with a trance vibe to it. One (For Mom) is tailored for the warm summer nights, a steady baseline and snappy snares supporting the lush and sweet synth melody. Flip the record for two versions of Havel. With the first one taking on a classic deep house guise, the Trip Mix of Havel takes us on a journey
beyond your imagination.

Mastered and lacquer cut by Simon (The Exchange) Davey.

Will Saul is a key figure in UK dance music. Approaching his twentieth anniversary as a DJ, producer and label founder, Saul has helped break the career of key artists such as Leon Vynehall, Midland and Dusky via his Aus Music label, has himself played some of the world’s finest nightclubs and contributed to !K7’s storied ‘DJ Kicks’ mix series, which he also curates.

Finally returning to the production fold himself with his first full-length album in thirteen years, ‘Open Too Close’ is a condensed trip through the influences, discovery and sense of history that have helped shape his career and drive a forward-facing, unblinking passion for new music. The record’s concept reflects Will’s enormous skill and knowledge as a DJ, and as it’s title suggests, “"represents what I play in a club if an 8 hour set was condensed into 10 tracks.”

Having held residencies and made regular appearances at some of the world’s finest clubs including The End and Fabric in London, Panorama Bar in Berlin, Trouw in Amsterdam and Robert Johnson in Offenbach, Saul is uniquely qualified but this refreshingly straightforward approach. Eschewing the lingering, almost cliched expectations for a dance artist to create an album “that sounds good at home, as well as in the club”, ‘Open Too Close’ instead draws on the timeless futurism at the heart of the music that drew Saul into electronic music culture. Simply put, futuristic, melancholic sci-fi soundscapes meets stripped back raw sample driven house music, all executed with the precision and panache of an artist who truly understands how to move a dancefloor.

'DJ Sneak delivers his ‘Movin’ Parts’ EP via Kerri Chandler’s Kaoz Theory this May, comprised of two original mixes and two dub cuts from the US House maestro.
 
 Carlos Sosa, better known to most as DJ Sneak has long been at the forefront of US house movement, breaking through via releases on Relief and Cajual in the early nineties and still releasing his twist on raw and rugged house today via the likes of Pressure Trax, Ovum and No.19 amongst others. Here though he delivers his latest EP for Kerri Chandler’s Kaoz Theory.

 The ‘Main Mix’ of title-cut ‘Movin Parts’’ leads and sees Sneak lay down crunchy drums, jazzy Rhodes licks and choppy bass across nine minutes. The ‘Dub’ follows, stripping things back to a rawer state with more focus on the rhythmic aspects of the composition. 
 ‘Judy Russell Red’ then opens the second half of the package, bringing swinging jazztinged drums into focus alongside hypnotic vocal chants and wandering sub bass notes. The ‘Dub’ take on ‘Judy Russell Red’ completes the package finally, again offering a more refined take with the bumpy drums and snaking bass at the forefront.'
