quintessentials 54: mat chiavaroli - no stranger to madness
2x12" and digi out 2.6.2017

Following a number of exciting tunes released on the renowned Quintessentials, here comes Mat Chiavaroli’s first long-player “No Stranger To Madness”. Warm Fostex tape hisses and MPC swings, the guy from the Pescara hills delivers 10 tracks for both your dancing and listening pleasure.
The A- and B-side tracks are drenched in dusty funk samples, gritty chords and syncopated rhythms. In “Aroma De Mi Vida” Mat chops obscure Rhodes riffs and layering them with more elements, just like in “Whoja Vu”, a heavy-sampled disco juggler very close to his previous Quintessentials releases. On the flip we find some deep chords melting with powerful gospel vocals, giving life to a track that annihilates boring dancefloors. There’s a similar vibe in “Jeep Ridaz” that reminisces about seminal Atavisme classics with broken detuned bits and agitated cut and pastes give a sense of randomness. The second part of this album shows Mat Chiavaroli's deeper side. “Double Pain” is a tune that progressively brings you to many aspects of what Mat loves: saturated female vocals stick out while gloomy chords gently develop. “Storia Losca” has a slightly different attitude with a  huge synth presence, live percussion and dreamy pianos. The D side opens with “The Quiet Bobobo”, a distorted floor delight and ends with something closer to Mat's early music, disclosing a fresh collaboration with the young studio fellow P.Lok. 
“No Stranger To Madness” fits many bills and is an impressive proof of what Mat’s musical ability is.

quintessentials 56: 4004 - sense of departure ep
12"/digital out early october

Some more Mexican music on Quintessentials! This time from long time buddy 4004, another driving force in Mexico and already an established producer with releases on labels like Freerange, Faces, Vicario Ltd or Quintessentials. Mostly doing stuff on his own, Quintessentials 56 features a great collab track with Stuttgart’s Stylus Heat (currently working as Blunted Monks on Philpot). I’m not sure if we find 4004 reasons to like you Gerardo, but there are definitely two: you’re a cool fella and we love your music - simple as that!

quintessentials 58: felipe gordon - mi casa su casa
12"/digital out early/late February 2018

Based in Colombia’s capital, Bogotá, Felipe Gordon’s sound is testimony that both challenges and reinvigorates the burgeoning colombian house movement. His statement is built of resonances inspired by other decades, Bogotá, cold, streets and messy youth. It's not surprising when we hear pianos and classic acid house lines paired with jazz samples and funky bass lines. His ability to mix this complex sounds into club music has made Gordon into a renowned and prolific producer (Nomada, Toy Tonics, W&O Street Tracks, Sampling As An Art). One to watch. Nuff said. Welcome to Quintessentials!

quintessentials 60: various artists - 10 years quintessentials
2x12"/Digital out late august/early september

'Time flies' as the saying goes and indeed it has as Quintessentials celebrates its 10 year anniversary. For a decade this mighty label has been getting some true love and support from all quarters. Listening to the back catalogue now, most of the tunes still sound fresh and keep the label's famous “deep, raw and real” motto alive. 

Quintessentials has always been a platform for new talents as well as established artists, and with he likes of Anton Zap, Vakula, Baaz, The Zohar, MCDE, Nicolas, Ugly Drums, Toby Tobias, Borrowed Identity, Mat Chiavaroli, 4004, Soul of Hex, S3A, Loz Goddard, Felipe Gordon, Javonntte……to name but a few, it’s an enviable back catalogue. 

This “Ten Years Quintessentials” compilation offers a wide range of styles: Detroit inspired Techno and House, a ruff Chicago stomper, some proper deep House, a discoish tool, and crafty beats and basslines all over! We hope you enjoy this compilation as much as we do. We are ready for the next decade! Are you?

quintessentials 62: KRL - third
12"/digital out early/mid december

After a remix and a compilation track for Quintessentials, it’s the third time that KRL appears on the label and also his third full EP. Following on from his previous releases on Wolf Music Recordings (yes, he can even be found on the first ever Wolf Music release!) this EP is a mixture of two older ideas started in 2014 and two completely new tracks playing on a mixture of samples and field-recorded sounds. „Third“ is multistyle. It’s got proper house with „never leave“, a track that features the beautiful voice of Janine Small. It’s got rough deepness with „rhodes to nowhere“. It’s got a bit of beat madness with „confession beat“. And it’s got sublime, fragile electronics with „glacier“. We love that!

quintessentials 65: various artists - marc bianco, effgee, wearing shoes feat. javonntte, roy vision - enjoy your cuppa (vol. 1)
12"/digital out early/mid may.

Quintessentials has a long history in putting out those nice little (or sometimes big…) compilations. It was “deep, raw and real”. Then “thank you freaks”. After that “gentlemen cuts”. Now it’s “enjoy your cuppa”! Vol. 1 starts with 4 new and refreshing faces on Quintessentials. Marc Bianco is for sure no newcomer, as he’s a part of the famous Moonrise Hill Material crew with Folamour and other top french producers. “Wet Scott” is a smooth yet freaky tune with tight beats in a best MB manner. 
For german Effgee, “feels like ding” is his first track ever released. Happy lad! And we’re sure it won’t be the last. Italian air man Wearing Shoes is quite new to the scene, but has a quite impressive list of releases already. For Quintessentials, he teams up with…well yeah, Javonntte (check his two Quintessentials releases, 59 and 61). Proper house music guaranteed! Last but not least, Roy Vision (another french artist who just released on Roots for Bloom) goes deep and dusty, with lovely Rhodes and snares! We hope you enjoy your cuppa!

Distractions out: Music On. Joss Moog shuts out the noise with a killer return to his spiritual stomping ground
Robsoul. He follows up 2018's ‘Tokyo Night’ with a brand selection of five crucial thumpers.
The title track ‘Music On’ leads from the front. Chunkier than a sumo wrestler in a bubble coat and laced with
subtle jazz motifs, it’s the stately, no-messing sound of Joss going back to the foundations he dug with Robsoul
when they introduced him to the world in 2006. It’s back by more sterling pedigree house cuts: the cheeky
sample funk on ‘More Than A Little Bit’, the dusty jazzy introspection on ‘Little Wonder’, booty-shaking electro
boogie on ‘Body Language’ and the piece de resistance ‘Walk On By’ where Joss’s hip-hop roots are just as
tangible as his soul’s connection with house music.
Turn it on, don’t ever turn off; Moog is back on Robsoul and the summer just started to sound 10 times hotter.

quintessentials 66: felipe gordon - sick ass chords ep
12"/digital out late june/early july

Señor Gordon is back on Quintessentials! Colombia’s number 1 when it comes to freaky house music delivers the goods again. Felipe Gordon has this incredible talent to mix so many different sounds and samples to create his unique style. Funky pianos (or should we say sick ass chords!), wobbling basslines, jazzy samples, disco and funk influences all combined together to make the “Felipe Gordon house sound”. Sometimes more punchy like “Sick ass chords” and “The quint garage”, sometimes more relaxed like “Girl, u don’t know…” and “For those who…”, but you just hear it’s FG from B in C!

quintessentials 67: greymatter - sans rouge EP
12/digital out late august/early September

The „Sans rouge EP“ is a return to Greymatter’s sampling roots reminiscent of his early works on WOLF Music. A record that sits half way between house and hip hop, in terms of style and tempo. „Sans Rouge“ epitomises that mood: starting out with a hip hop groove that drops into a beat-down house chugger. „Royale“ drops things down to an even slower motion with another tough beat down groove, chopped and driven key samples and a catchy vocal chop. The B-side start with a nice goodie: this is the first time that the full length/12” mix of „Move Slow“ has a proper release (the short version appears on the „7 years who cares?“ 2x7“ on WOLF Music). Greymatter’s most popular track of recent years - more heavy soul chops this time pitched more towards peak time. „Billy O“ finishes things off with a slamming, choppy club jam laiden with strings and vocals. Another mighty fine Quintessentials release that shows all the talent of Greymatter!
