Who would've thought one of the first female skateboarders and a psych rock singer would spawn a house music prodigy? If you've seen RA's Real Scenes LA docko, then you might've noticed Sage casually rolling some 'herbs' while being interviewed, so maybe it's not hard to fathom after all... These tracks are not one bit spaced out though, they're all sharp, layered, banging house tracks. Like his previous EPs on Spring Theory and Huxley's No Idea's Original, Sage somehow manages to keep things exciting while using very traditional house structures. I guess it's all in the detail.

"I’ve met Griffin aka Francis Inferno out and about quite a few times now and have to say he’s fully good vibes all the way. The other week Lexx sent me a track by him that I’d never checked before on Superconscious that is pretty flipping great and here’s another new one by him. The main mix of Oasis sounds like an old Italian vibe, one of those ones with a breakbeat running underneath, though with the break pushed to the front which works perfectly for these times. Also great is the Erotikk mix of ‘Oasis’ which comes on like a late 80s / early 90s B side secret weapon and ‘Mating Rituals’ which rounds the record off goes all tribal and chant-y before dropping into a messed up little break and out again. It all sounds like he’s having loads of fun but the throw it in the pot attitude works perfectly." - Testpressing

Sister label to to the mighty @shallnotfade, Lost Palms is coming into its 15th release with the Cressida EP by @ray-kandinski. 
We've been following Ray for some time now, always charmed by his productions and aesthetic. We think this is one of his best ep's to date and the track  'Holdin' On' is our choice of dance floor goodness.
Featuring Ray's classic drum machine sound, THAT Juno house bass sound filters in and you'd be forgiven to think you've heard this kinda track many times before. But its Ray's spacey pads and vocal snippet that sets this above and beyond. Perfectly refined and all the amounts of fun required. On repeat!

-------

Philip Budny’s trajectory has been hallmarked by entrancing, danceable lullabies on discerning labels such as Coastal Haze, Lionoil Industries and most recently, Let’s Play House. ‘Shades of Blue’ feels like the natural evolution of an artist who has been meticulously carving out his own distinctive mellow sound. By showcasing a progression into more astral, melancholy textures, Budny delivers his most accomplished and personal record to date.

Sheer musicality and blissed out brilliance is evident from the get go with ‘5459’, which hisses and swings with the sort of expansive drum programming and breathy pads with which Budny has become synonymous. ‘Belfast’ sounds like HNNY at his most masterful. With its ethereal live instrumentation, it provides the perfect palette for a truly reflective and introspective piece of house music that builds into a marvelously layered crescendo.

The warm, fuzzy ‘Moritzplatz, 2013’ feels like a reassuring lullaby, and closer to a Mac DeMarco track than what you’d expect from a typical house release. ‘Shades of Blue’ is a more dancefloor ready track, invigorating and perhaps subtly inspired by some of the textures of one of Philp’s longtime friends, Telfort. ‘Still Beating’ shifts the pace once more, settling calmly into a soothing 2 step rhythm. The deeply personal ‘Take Care’ is a luscious experimental track that would fit perfectly in a vintage Aphex Twin set. ‘Too Late To Turn Back Now’ - a goosebump-inducing, soothing number - feels on par with the very best Smallville releases from the early 2010s.

We’ve all heard of Business Techno taking over the interwebs, but it could be argued that Workplace Spotify Deep House is an even more banal beast. ‘Shades of Blue’ is a beacon of hope. This ambitious, assonant record from the Berlin-based maestro will undoubtedly spur on his contemporaries and admirers to level up in the best way possible.

On this record, Budny gives us all hope in uncertain times with a slice of the best kind of house music possible - melodic and timeless. It is laced with an afterglow that sticks with you long after the record stops spinning.
