Can't You Remember (feat. Hate Inc.)

'Jimpster’s last release Burning Up showed a slightly different string to his bow, delivering a driving electronic jam which married a speaker wobbling analogue bassline with jacking, disco-tinged beats.  While we wait for the remix package which includes stunning interpretations from Bawrut, Charles Webster and Telfort he has been busy cooking up three original tracks which make up the Curve EP.

The title track keeps things sweet and smooth with floating synth lines and punctuating stabs riding a trademark Jimpster bassline.  As it develops he introduces a classic chord riff lifting the energy and cranking up the feel-good factor making for a unique and musical mood-setter which will get well and truly under your skin. 

Next up we have The Sweetness Of That Song which keeps things on a jazz tip with Rhodes chords, Juno pads and a funked-up bassline working the their magic.  Jimpster has a knack for making things appear deceptively simple whilst introducing subtle elements and more complex lines and textures to keep the interest but without cluttering the raw, house groove.

Finally, things get ultra blissed-out on Simmering Down where dense layers of stuttering pads build upon each other forming a beautiful wall of sound, snatches of voice drifting into focus for a fleeting moment before disappearing into the ether.  A dream-like mood but with a powerful low end and precision groove ensuring this one will hold it’s own on discerning dance-floors out there.'

Anathema welcomes the Spanish rising DJs and producers EKDK to the label, with their remixed version of 'Medium', curated by organic elements and additional tasteful melodies merged with drum beats that instills energy to the pack with a sense of coming back for more.

EP closer remix of 'Paper Boy' is in charge of UK based producer, Jonny Strinati, A.K.A. Strinner, who fashions his unique style and signature with a forceful bassline canvas, while keeping the same melodic synth foundations, delivering a classy version.'

Freddy Be & Savi Leon return to the label this time with vocalist DNCN on the 'Habitual EP' , A superb follow up to last years 'Benevolence EP'

Opening track 'Habitual' is a deep & moody affair with incandescent flair and the legacy of DNCN's vocal's . Percussive rhythms and a mystical groove wrap themselves around the vocal with hypnotic effect , A sure fire attention grabber.

Gorge takes the original and put's it firmly on the knowledgeable tech house floors , fully retaining the main vocal Pit brings the levels up and delivers an underground tech house gem that while keeping the flow of the original adds a more tougher edge to the track proving why he is at the top of the game when delivering those special moments to a floor.

Next up and fresh from his Beatport top 10 hit on the label is George Smeddles and in true Smeddles fashion the groove is utilized to major effect with a more faster paced tribal percussion feel and a super cool burning bass line that will shine on big systems and big rooms.

Face You (feat. Ri)

Tryst, aka Abe Levine, has been curating his musical ethos over the past decade. Named after “a private romantic rendezvous between lovers” Tryst’s sets blend realms of Dark/Melodic Techno, Progressive House, and Deep House. With recent explorations into Downtempo, World-influenced House, and Chill-Hop, he continues to enrich his musical expression by following the vibe beyond genre boundaries. Tryst strives to tell a story with his sets, seeing them as a way to connect intimately with others in a shared love of electronic music.

The funk never left.
People just forgot.
