8DPromo: Past Releases + Promotions (2021)

Out Now On Hype & Soul:

1.  I'll Do Anything For You (One Night In Paris Mix)
2. I'll Do Anything For You (Breakin Beatz Redub)
3. I'll Do Anything For You (Andrew Macari's Toka Love Remix)
4. I'll Do Anything For You (Andrew Macari's Toka Love Dub)

.
Hype & Soul Recordings returns with DJ Sulli’s mesmerizing new single “I’ll Do Anything For You.” The west coast house music virtuoso delivers two evocative versions of the original, and then brings on the renowned Andrew Macari (Toka Project) to add more magic to the release. First up is Sulli’s One Night In Paris Mix, combining subdued e-piano chords, swirling sound design, effected female vocals, and punchy rhythms for some serious late night action. This is followed by Sulli’s Breakin Beats Rerub, going even deeper with a touch a tech-house added to this tripped-out mix. A growling bass, ethereal pads, and intertwined vocal parts are all driven by a handclap rhythm. Midway through the breakbeats come in, taking things to another level.

Andrew Macari confirms his acclaim as a top house music producer with his Toka Love Remix. A swinging 4-on-the-floor beat and deep sub-bass lay the foundation for snatches of the vocal and a pulsating chord motif. Andrew’s accompanying Toka Love Dub further explores the rhythm, giving the DJs out there a cool tool for long mixing adventures. Another superb pack from Hype & Soul.
 
.
DJ P-REZ (Not So Fast Records) – “Yes! I've always dug DJ Sulli's work. Hell, I still play Saucy Posse out. This track is just as great. Throw in an Andrew Macari remix, and you've got yourself a winning release.”  
FineCutBodies (Chi Recordings) – “This is a nice, groovy single.”  
Vanilla Ace (Toolroom) – “Some cool vibes here.”  
Simon Kirk (Stag Beetle radio show) – “Quality House Music. Love the One Night In Paris Mix.”  
Michael Fossati (Spirit Of House Zine) – “This is a sexy dance floor jam.”  
Jon Barnes (Pandora) – “Andrew Macari’s remix is thumping.”  
DJ Osric (Black and Blue Show) – “Man, this is so gorgeous.”

I'll Do Anything For You

Dj Sulli - I'll Do Anything For You (Hype & Soul)

Coming Soon From Harmonious Discord:

1. Swangert (Bluetech Remix)
2. Western Wolf (Deez Puppy Chow Mix)
3. Western Wolf (Deez Puppy Chow Acid Free Mix)
4. Circling The Crown (Noah Pred's Acid Reign Remix)

.
Last summer Harmonious Discord released a rare vinyl feature highlighting two long-time label creators, KiloWatts and PointBender. The EP featured deep, cerebral journeys like “Circling the Crown”, pulsating nighttime anthems like “Western Wolf’, and low-swung cross-over classics like "Swangert." For this release, the two producers enlisted the brainpower of close friends, returning artists, and consistent innovators to help celebrate 20 years of the label.

Included in this set is the return of house music legend Demarkus Lewis. Demarkus remixed Morgan Page on Harmonious Discord in 2004 and his applied skills to this project produced two fantastic flavors of "Western Wolf," ripe with bumping movement. Behind The Sky boss and genre-bending force, Bluetech applies his deep knowledge and context to deliver a beautifully evolving masterpiece. Berlin’s Noah Pred explores innovative angles of bio-mechanical feedback with a beautifully growing, often organic feeling re-imagining.

The project starts off with a musically elevated remix of “Swangert”. Bluetech sets free the dithered musical undertones with modulated synth patterns that dance romantically by and through each other. The vocal treatment enters cosmic terrain while the subtle bass jamming keeps a funk focus flowing. Next up is the Deez Puppy Chow Mix of "Western Wolf" which tames the elements of the original into a body-moving selection prime for rocking big-sound speakers. The remix reaches peak-time tension with the introduction of expertly crafted acid lines. The following Deez Acid Free Remix delivers the same energy without the frontal acid line, but more emphasis on rising effects patterns that maintain the level of insanity. Our final guide into the deep crevices of a-cult warehouse worship is the Acid Reign Remix by Noah Pred. Pred doesn’t hesitate to get into melodically complex corners from the start and leaves plenty of room for sonic expansion as his synthesizer elements embody a mind of their own. A true embodiment of Harmonious Discord's 20-year celebration is perfectly captured in this high-powered collection.

Out Now On Insect Queen Music:

1.  Gimme A Sign feat. Emma Noble

.
New York's Ursula 1000, the wizard of the retro/futuro sound, is back with his Single of the Month Club series! Ursula was riding high off the fumes from his chart-topping 2019 album Esoterique, but with the world on pause last year, Ursula got cracking, working his unique continental pop sound for a new batch of goodies. Now every first Monday of the month brings a new offering from Ursula's music laboratory. Next up from the Single Of The Month Club is the funky mid-tempo groover "Gimme A Sign" featuring London's very own Emma Noble. With a soul-inspired vocal, Emma delivers a modern, uplifting, party shaker — a fantastic funk stomper with a glorious pastiche of sonic elements inspired by dance music of the 70s, 80s, 90s, and beyond. Emma's signed with Cosmos Music and has worked with Acid Jazz Records, Lack of Afro, and spins records all over the UK and Europe as one half of the dynamic DJ duo Noble & Heath. These grooves are fierce!

1.  Trying 2 Trip With Angels
2. No Love In Bubble City
3. Heart Machine

6. Blunt Life
+ 2 more tracks on the full length album

Black Sjuan is probably the most notorious ghost producer in Chicago. Whether or not dance floors realize it, they’ve already heard his sound. Black Sjuan’s Assylum Effort has evolved from a boutique production house to a full-on Chicago house label, pushing a classic sound while injecting it with something unique and new.

The Underdog Railroad is the new album from Black Sjuan, proclaiming his underground house music aesthetic over eight down n' dirty deep house cuts. Black Sjuan explains the album: "This is album represents a side of Chicago night life you never see in magazines and on Instagram. Gang parties, secret Jevohah's Witness raves, sex worker conferences, cartel crew rages, undercover cops, surgeon orgies, rooftop grows, drug fueled restaurant after-hours … I could tell you about it, but i wrote an album instead."

After the introductory track, the album jumps right into it with "Trying 2 Trip With Angels," a dark and dubby house music work-out with a grinding bass line and echoed string chops. "No Love In Bubble City" expands on this vibe with its crisp, swinging drum track and filtered melodic elements. "Heart Machine" raises the tempo and the dance floor insistence — staccato synth hits and the rapid bass groove play against each other in a rhythmic style. These are just the first few highlights — all the tracks on The Underdog Railroad are tailor-made for house heads looking to dig deeper.

.
Alvaro Hylander (DeepWit) – “Blunt Live is the one for me. Cool stuff.”  
Tyler Stadius (Deepsite) – “Cool Raw Heavies.”  
Blueshift (Nurvous Records) – “Nice grooves. I especially like Trying 2 Trip With Angels.”  
Ken Liu (Headset Hi-Fi) – “Very nice. Feeling Heart Machine and Red Love the most.”  
DJ P-REZ (Not So Fast Records) – “The entire album is amazing. Well done!”  
Pat Lezizmo (Conva Records) – “Sizzling drums and grooves – real nice!”  
DJ Firefly (Couch Dancing) – “The kind of stuff that gets played at all the best parties.”

Out Now On House Royalty Records:

1.  Night Ryder
2. Night Ryder (HRR Edit)
3. Night Ryder (Patti Kane Royalty Edit)

.
DJ Czezre is part of the latest wave of New Jersey house music and he's already become a mainstay in that storied scene. Paying his dues as a mobile DJ rocking events and block parties, Czezre quickly found himself playing a wide selection of NJ nightclubs before landing a three-year residency at Newark's Club Sensations. Czezre began releasing music in 2017 and found himself collaborating with artists from South Africa and other global house music hotspots.

"Night Ryder" is DJ Czezre's latest jam, a tight deep house stomper released by House Royalty Records. Czezre's original evokes faraway places with its bird-like calls and repeating chants. The rhythms are crisp and steady, no doubt fitting snugly in a DJ's set. The HRR Edit creates a lush, nighttime feel with ringing melodies, exotic flutes, and a more subdued backbeat. Patti Kane provides the final mix, closing out this set in a classic deep style filled with cool key riffs, shimmering percussion, and thoughtful breakdowns.

.
Nii Tei (Do Not Sit on the Furniture) – “Very nice! Love the low end on this.”  
DJ Dove (Jolly Roger) – “The Patti Kane edit is very nice.”  
DJ Renay (Blublak Musik) – “Soulful and soothing to the ears.”  
George JJ Flores (Sol Sundaze) – “Night Ryder is a cool groove.”  
Snooba (Radio Panik) – “Hot & ready to dance!”  
Robert Lochmann (The Jazzmadass Radio Show) – “Nice track, great remixes.”  
Curtiss Logan (Jersey Soul) – “Very nice track. I like the Patti Kane Royalty Edit. Full support.”

1.  Winter Love Affair
2. Deep Rumble

+ 1 more track on the full EP

.
Juan Hoerni returns with his acclaimed soulful house imprint, the Los Angeles-based Cha Cha Project Recordings, to unearth another set of top-notch house music tunes. Lost Tracks Vol II brings together three floor-primed solo tracks from Juan and three collaborations with names to those familiar with the Cha Cha family. The release begins with one of those collabs, the uplifting "Winter Love Affair" featuring the vocalist Chezere (Vega Records, Large Music). Chunky piano chords, a low-key disco beat, and exquisite live instrumentation brilliant back Chezere's emotional performance. The sweet, gospel-inflected tones of in-demand singer Maurice Smith can be heard on the lush and vibrant "Let Me Explore" as well as "Dani," remixed here with a tribal flavor by legendary New Jersey producer Jovann (Body N’ Deep). Juan's three cuts are likewise as impressive, from the strutting Tenaglia-influenced vocal house of "Got Some Time" to the Latin-fueled deepness of "Deep Rumble" to "I Am the One" and its swinging ode to old school speech house. All these cuts are sublime and sophisticated, ready and waiting for DJs and home listening alike.

.
Hector Romero (Saw Recordings) – “Great EP. I really am enjoying Winter Love Affair.”  
Groove Assassin (Pacha) – “These are slammers!”  
Booker T. (Kings Of Soul) – “Wicked vibes.”  
Lorenzo al Dino (7th District Inc.) – “Classic house, solid production.”  
Andrew Emil (Broadway & Wilson) – “Really great release from Juan!”  
Robert Lochmann (Soulsender.de) – “These are some great tracks.”  
DJ Osric (Black and Blue Show) – “Excellent release. Juan has finished the year strong!”
