Out Now On Cha Cha Project Recordings:

1.  Stuck in the Middle
2. Stuck in the Middle (Jovonn Main Mix)
3. Stuck in the Middle (Jovonn Instru Dub)
4. Stuck in the Middle (Jovonn Stripdown Mix)

.
Once again, Los Angeles house music don Juan Hoerni joins forces with singer Terry Dexter for another uplifting slice of dancefloor bliss. "Stuck in the Middle," released on Juan's Cha Cha Project Recordings imprint, features immaculate performances from both the players — including Scott Wozniak on keys — and Terry Dexter. The accumulation of soulful expertise helps to welcome the warm summer air as things heat up on the floor. A disco-accented rhythm section drives electric piano chords and swirling organ riffs, laying down the perfect musical bed for Terry Dexter's emotive, memorable vocal performance. Top-notch all around.

The legendary Jovann, an undisputed pioneer of the '90s' NYC/New Jersey house music sound, is on hand for a trio of prime-time remixes. Jovann's Main Mix toughens the rhythm and accompanies it with a staccato synth bass line. The vocal is solidly at the fore, with the organ and key melodies providing support. Jovann also supplies a Dub version of this mix, as well as a Stripdown Mix. The latter really shows off Terry Dexter's incredible vocal, pushing it further up in the mix while downplaying most of the keyboard elements. Superb all around.

Stuck In The Middle

Juan Hoerni feat. Terry Dexter - Stuck In The Middle (Cha Cha Project Recordings)

Out Now On Uniting Souls Music:

1.  Passion
2. Source of Love

.
Seattle's newly appointed Party Citizen is Tony H (Space Yacht, Late Night Munchies), and he's ready to launch forth with a new double A-side single on Uniting Souls Music. The label's on a tear with twelve consecutive Beatport top 10 chartbusters, with this release deservedly rounding out the even dozen. "Passion" drives with potent house music electricity, complete with chunky drums, a low rolling bassline, and a rhythmically spoken vocal. This one thumps, and it's sure to be a late-night staple. Flip the virtual wax for "Source of Love," which takes things down into mood

.
Brandon Bass (Hub City Music Group) – “Absolutely the best thing to grace my inbox in a long time. Great deep and dark drummy tracks. Reminds me of SF gigs back in the day. Love it!”  
Tokita (Large Music) – “Both tracks are FIRE! Nice work Tony.”  
Wilbour Craddock (Groovewest) – “This double A side is a true double A side, with two fantastic tracks of pure house for the late night crowd.”  
Mason Rothert (Below Zero Radio Show) – “Passion is the jam!”  
DJ P-REZ (The Session Worldwide) – “Both of these tracks are dope!”  
Snooba (Radio Panik) – “100% dynamite. Infectious!”

Tony H - Passion / Source of Love (Uniting Souls Music)

Out Now On Insect Queen Music:

1.  Movin' 2 The Sound
2. Movin' 2 The Sound (Acid Jerks Refix)
3. Movin' 2 The Sound (Fort Knox 5 Remix)
4. Movin' 2 The Sound (DJ Absolutely Shit Remix)

.
Ursula 1000 is the alter ego of Alex Gimeno, a producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist based in Brooklyn, New York. He has released eight albums and mix sessions that take listeners on a retro-futuristic journey of exotic grooves and electronic disco funk. He has performed in over 30 countries, collaborated with notable artists such as Fred Schneider of The B52s, Lady Bunny, and Puddles Pity Party, and has had his music featured in various TV shows, ads, and even the Olympics.

Now Ursula 1000 pulls out his dusty smiley face shirt from the closet and goes full-on 303 acid house squelch and jacking 808 grooves for this new single. "Movin' 2 The Sound" showcases Ursula 1000's signature exotic dreaminess, with elements of acid house, throbbing sequencers, and pumping hip-house action. The Berlin-based duo Acid Jerks provided the first remix, taking the acid house business to peak-time bliss. Meanwhile, Fort Knox Five, a leading force in the international funk and breaks scene, focused on electro vibes and b-boy action. Finally, Red Laser Records duo Il Bosco & Metrodome, also known as DJ Absolutely Shit, cranked up the bass, bleeps, and breaks to 11, bringing rave-ready, time-stretching, day-glo dancefloor destruction. This whole single's a trip!

.
Tyler Stadius (Deepen) – “Yeah, love this! Never get tired of good acid.”  
Frank Peisker (Bureau45 Agency) – “Killer! The dancefloor will be on fire with this retro electro smasher with a modern twist.”  
Psycho-Jones (Kater Blau) – “This is Ursula 2023. Love it very much.”  
Shan Frenzie (2SER FM) – “Love the funk edge on the acid grooves.”  
BMD (XLNT) – “As expected, Fort Knox 5 have nailed it. Great remix.”  
Steve ‘Griffo’ Griffiths (Subspace Radio Show) – “As a big fan of Acid Jerks, I was stoked to receive this. Muscular acid house vibes that transport me back to 86.”

Call My Name

Luis Machuca & Casomado - Call My Name (Friskybeat Records)

Out Now On Random Records:

1.  Fault Lines
2. Percolate
3. Crush Of Time
4. Sense Of Rapture

Unconscious Honey is the synth-pop project spearheaded by Björn Trenker, who hails from Berlin. His debut album, Being a Stranger, took inspiration from his background in psychiatry and was highly appreciated by the queer Berlin city magazines Siegessäule and BLU, as well as KALTBLUT Magazine, who deemed it one of the best dance music albums in 2020.

During the pandemic, Björn collaborated with his regular co-producer and husband, Paul "Snax" Bonomo, and decided to remix and reinterpret the songs from the album, with help from other LGBTQ artists and friends such as Electrosexual, Mavin, and Snecker. He also began composing the four tracks on his new EP soon after the release of his second album. Although his debut live performance was canceled due to Covid-19's second wave, Björn continued to work on new material during the lockdown.

Unconscious Honey's latest EP, Fault Lines, consists of four new and exciting songs from this period. The first song, "Fault Lines," is a synth-pop number about finding moments of joy in difficult times. "Percolate" is an upbeat song about the insecurities of being in a romantic entanglement. "Crush Of Time" is inspired by Twin Peaks, describing the feeling of getting lost in the night and experiencing a religious-like trance. Finally, "Sense Of Rapture" is about the ups and downs of queer cruising, including loneliness and disappointment, but also the feeling of absolution in a secret community.

Unconscious Honey's Fault Lines will be available on Random Records starting December 15th, 2023.

.
Luis Machuca (Friskybeat Records) – “Production is on point. Enjoying the Kraftwerk sound.”  
Psycho-Jones (Kater Blau) – “Goosebumps. Thanks.”  
Electrosexual (Electrosexual) – “Great electropop, great production.”  
DJ Firefly (WRCT Pittsburgh) – “Delightful!”  
Jon Fugler (XLNT radio show) – “Lovely selection. Capturing some evocative feelings.”  
DJ Clairvo (Tilos Radio Budapest) – “I always dig downbeat / lounge music with a certain disco touch and vocal treatment. Nice work - supporting!”

Fault Lines

Unconscious Honey - Fault Lines (Random Records)

Out Now On Viva Recordings:

1.  I Want You feat. Becka
2. I Want You feat. Becka (Dub Mix)
3. I Want You feat. Becka (Choppin Broccoli Remix)
4. I Want You feat. Becka (Instrumental)

.
Points on the map converge as Minneapolis' Dan Laino (Phunk Junk, Bubble n Twist), Fresno's Jason Merle (4E&A Records, Viva), and acclaimed Leeds, UK-based vocalist Becka Ward (S&S Chicago, Let There Be House) converge for the fantastic new Viva Recordings single, "I Want You." The original flows like a deep house dream as floaty pads, an old-school bass line ride, and subdued house beats support Becka's emotive vocals and lyrics. Drawing upon the tradition of soulful house and R&B and blending it with lush production flourishes yields one serious late-night gift. The dancefloor is the ecstatic recipient. The trio also provides an Instrumental as well as a Dub version using the sparsest of vocals from the original. There's also the Choppin Broccoli Remix, which increases the tempo and heat just a tad, throwing in fresh new layers of instrumentation that bring Becka's vocal into another brilliant light. It's time to get down.

.
Mr. V (Sole Channel Music) – “A super dope release.”  
Soulfuledge (Quantize) – “Love it. Deep, dreamy goodness.”  
Vinny Villbass (Badabing Diskos) – “Great production. Perfect for those hotel pool sunsets.”  
Dean Serafini (Frisky Rhythms) – “All mixes work nicely. The synth strings are captivating.”  
Michael Fossati (Spirit of House web zine) – “A glorious slice of late night bliss.”  
Aaron J Liguori (Beach Radio UK) – “Hard to choose a favorite, all top productions. Brillian release!”
