Velvit 
Be So Cruel EP
Following releases from label heads Dusky and Christian Piers, 17 Steps returns with an awaited label debut from Velvit (Darren White) that offers both forward-thinking club sounds and leftfield sonics. 

Co-opting the dark, technical style that Darren has long practised as drum & bass legend dBridge, lead track 'Be So Cruel' adds a fresh perspective on house and techno forms that instantly stood out from the pack. 

Blending dark grooves and sinister mechanics with Darren's own soulful vocals, 'Be So Cruel' has been heavily anticipated ever since it featured in Dusky's Resident Advisor mix last year.

Featuring the vocals of his brother Steve Spacek, 'No Excuses' is a stripped soul roller with dense rhythms and mad jazz moments that works as both meditative headphone trip and experimental dancefloor moment. 

Completing a diverse triple header, 'South Of Your Soul' takes things down a futuristic electro vibe with dark sci-fi cinematics battling it out with body-popping beats and Darren's distinctive cyborg soul vocals. 

No Excuses

Velvit feat. Steve Spacek - No Excuses

Step into a sonic journey where the horizon meets the soul. Ancestral Ascension is a 9-track exploration of Afro House that bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern identity.

This project is more than a collection of rhythms; it’s a spiritual ritual designed for the golden hour. As the sun dips below the skyline, each track serves as a catalyst for the unfolding of the self. From the deep, hypnotic percussion of the opening tracks to the soaring, melodic crescendos of the finale, the album mirrors the flight of individuality breaking free from the mundane.

In this space, we find a unique communion. The beat doesn’t just move the body—it transports the mind to a timeless era, reconnecting us with the raw, tribal heartbeat of our ancestors.

Key Elements:

The Spiritual Sunset: Melodies crafted to match the shifting colors of the sky.

Originality & Identity: A signature sound from Argentina to the world, blending organic textures with avant-garde electronic precision.

The Collective Rhythm: A shared experience that dissolves the ego and unites the dancefloor in a singular, ancient pulse.

Close your eyes, let the percussion take the lead, and find your own frequency.

quintessentials 49: 4004 - body night lies
12"/digital out mid august/early september

Yes, here it is, the first full solo EP from our amigo 4004! Together with his mate Sebastien Vorhaus, he is one of Mexico’s top producers and has a quality output on labels like Freerange, Faces, Vicario Music and last but not least Quintessentials. Living in Berlin this summer, 4004 will get lots of inspiration and will have a busy musical journey. And hopefully some sleep! For now, his new “Body Night Lies” is another dope release for your house collection - damn deep and moody!

As the pendulum swung back and forth his mind slowly became fuzzy. He began to fall under a deep and luxurious spell in which he had no grace or control. His mind now belonged to the hypnotist and there was no way back. It was quite a skill to be able to hypnotise someone in such a fashion, to encourage their inhibitions to leave their body and fly wild with the wind. This was no magic trick or a play on words but a full blown takeover of mind and soul. 

Anma Records deliver a three track EP featuring Sofatalk and K15 on remix duties. This one is an embodiment of deep and soulful house with lush textures and graceful elegance.

PREMIERE: Sofatalk - Hypnotize (K15 Remix)[Anma]

Moody jazz and Rhodes noodling meets 2-step-infused house on the inaugural release by Belgian imprint Lemonade Records. Brussels duo Lockwood contribute 'Blue Heron', alongside efforts from Studio 58 and Codie Currie.

Lockwood - Blue Heron (STW Premiere)

Back behind the drums and swinging harder than ever, with his new titanium hip crowdfunded by the immense generosity of friends and fans, brazilian drumming legend and one third of Azymuth Ivan ‘Mamão’ Conti releases a brand new solo album next year with Far Out Recordings. It’s his first solo release in over twenty years and the first to come out on vinyl since his 1984 Milestone classic The Human Factor. As people of earth may not quite be ready for the explosive cosmic samba of Mamão’s new album just yet, we’re easing into it with a double header of heavily percussive, future-centric, jazz-minded, yet club-ready remixes. 

Following on from the IG Culture meets 22a remix EP released earlier this year, the second remix 12” ahead of Mamão’’s album release, hosts three producers united not only by a foundational appreciation for the work of Ivan Conti and Azymuth, but also in the belief that there’s much more to dance music than straight four to the floor. These are two of Germany’s most consistently on-fire producers: Money Sex Records buddies Max Graef and Glenn Astro, along with the ascendant Mancunian producer/percussionist Contours. With Mamão’s famously jovial character shining through each remix, the EP spans hip-hop, deep house, jazz-funk and afro-brasilian rhythms, giving the listener a taste of what’s to come from Mamão’s much anticipated new album in 2018.

BRSTL 002 - Through The Night EP

On his forthcoming EP for Freerange Records (@freerangerecords), Simbad (@simbad) teams up with South African vocalist Brian Temba for a soulful journey which includes three renditions. "Take My Hand" coasts easily on a late-night / early morning vibe. The lightly placed kick keeps the pulse present and allows space for Brian Temba to weave his way through the strings, creating a warm and hypnotic glow. Flips on the EP include a floor-warming remix from label-boss Jimpster (@jimpster) as well as club-ready edit / dub from Simbad himself. All in all, this one is perfect for getting a room warmed or cooling the room down, take your pick!
