Greece’s funk maestro is back with an incredible new album, Soul Shower. Dimitris Tentinis is Mister T., a mainstay of the Cold Busted label having released seven previous albums through the respected imprint. His varied discography touches on hip hop, soul, dub, and electronic music – but funk is the consistent thread tying together all of Mister T.’s productions. His cuts have become staples in the DJ sets and playlists of underground tastemakers, and there’s also recognition from the mainstream — Mister T.’s music has appeared in brand campaigns from the likes of Capital One, Walmart, Nike, and Hennessy. The funk maestro is on the rise, and Soul Shower is his latest milestone.

Soul Shower opens gently with “Nostalgia for Bent,” featuring a lithe boom-bap beat, tinkling piano, pulsing bass, and a magical female vocal. Things get more layered on “Chain Reaction” as the beats are bolder, the music denser, and the vocal snippets strategically deployed. Other highlights include the heavy horn section funk of the title track; “Groove Analyser” and its retro junkyard vibes; and the aftrobeat/hip-hop mind-meld of “Felabration.” Once the album ends with the dub benediction of “Life In Lockdown,” the listener will have experienced a whole world of inventive grooves. Join Mister T. for a Soul Shower — a shower of dope vibes for the soul.

Mister T. - Soul Shower (Cold Busted)

Out Now On Cold Busted&#13;
------------------
1. Sweet Memories (feat. Awon &amp; DJ Damented)&#13;
2. Sweet Memories (Instrumental)&#13;
&#13;
Cold Busted returns to familiar label artist Poldoore, born Tom Schillebeeckx, to release his new single “Sweet Memories,” featuring distinguished emcee Awon and DMC 2012 Team World Champion turntablist DJ Damented (of The Mixfitz). Based out of Belgium, Poldoore started producing at an early age and eventually his potential was realized by Cold Busted’s offer to release the debut L.A.X. EP. The pairing only grew stronger from there through many projects and compilation appearances that garnered much praise. Poldoore’s sound is about good vibes, creating warm atmospheres that blend funk, soul, lounge, and reggae with punchy drum breaks. Those are the building blocks for “Sweet Memories,” an effective standalone instrumental with lazy horns floating atop airy guitars and fluttering keys combining to create a laid-back atmosphere while fat bass and snappy drums work the neck out. The reminiscing rhymes of Awon, a figure in the new emerging ‘jazz hop’ scene, flow rhythmically while DJ Damented’s scratch skills add a next level vocal chop to the beat. Deciding to include this one in the crate should be easy, much like the cut’s vibe. &#13;
&#13;
All Good Funk Alliance - “Nice!” DJ BobaFatt (Rough Trade / Soundcrash) - “Yeah, this is nice. Look forward to hearing more.” Quincy Jointz (Timewarp) - “Beautiful and groovy. I love it much.” Mojo Rising (Cold Busted / F.A.M.I.L.Y.) - “A feel good hip hop track … great groove, smooth flow.” Robin Parris (Parris &amp; Vanucci / Dancefloor Outlaws) - “Great stuff! Can’t wait to lay down these blissful laid back beats at the next beachside session.” Irregular Disco Workers - “Love this!” Double-D (Funky Fresh Radio Show) - “Oh … some real hip hop in here. Word!” mister T (Cube Radio / Cold Busted) - “The instrumental is a hip hop classic … great!” MadameFLY (mmRadio / BeatConcious) - “I’ve been loving Poldoore this year, but this duo provides a different vibe from the smokey soul based tracks I love. It’s all about the uplift, from the sweet melody to the positive emcee work of Awon. Refreshing stuff!” Jamie Topham (CD Pool) - “Old school cool …” DJ Pelau (Is The Spice Of Life) - “Solid. Groove tight, flow decent, and the atmosphere is ideal. Keep it going.” Andy Wilson (ibiza Sonica FM / Balearia) - “Sweet memories and a sweet groove. Love this … proper BBQ beats.” Renegades of Jazz (Wass Records / Mojo Club) - “That’s some real nice hip hop.” Clairvo (Tilos Radio FM90.3, Hungary) - “Yeah, this is a musical meadow in the big city noise!” Joan Ribas (Ibiza Soulstice Music / Cafe del Mar) - “Wow … love it!” Deadbeat Disco Radio Show - “Digging the instrumental vibe here. It’s like an aural covering of sunshine and warmth in an otherwise very chilly Yorkshire … very nice indeed!” DJ Nova (Rodon FM) - “Really cool, reminiscing of good times and vibes. Sweet keys, warm horns, old school beats, chilly guitars, and summer breeze. Poldoore doesn’t know it but this is made to be played next summer, 2014, on Las Salinas, La Isla Blanca’s beach.” &#13;

Cold Busted returns to familiar label artist Poldoore (born Tom Schillebeeckx) to release his new album, The Day Off. It features some talented guests, including the mysterious Maverick, emcee duo The 49ers, American blues singer Bodhilynn, and trumpeter Will Magid. Based out of Belgium, Poldoore started producing at an early age and eventually his potential was realized by Cold Busted&rsquo;s offer to release his debut L.A.X. EP . From there the pairing has only grown stronger. Poldoore&rsquo;s sound is about good vibes, creating warm atmospheres that blend funk, soul, lounge, and reggae with punchy drum breaks. Among the album&rsquo;s many highlights is &ldquo;Morning Glory,&rdquo; featuring a rocksteady beat with bright arpeggiated synths at select moments, with the bulk of the track carried by wailing guitars and chopped up blues vocals. &ldquo;Ahhh Yeah&rdquo; enters like a walk in the park with bright keys, lovely strings, and funky rhythms, the results of rearranging an original sample into suitable bits and pieces with a little help from Maverick. &ldquo;Heard It All Before&rdquo; has Bodhilynn&rsquo;s soulful vocal hook accompanied by The 49ers&rsquo; rhymes and a key-based beat with soaring highs. &ldquo;Natural High&rdquo; elicits psychedelic vibes with plenty of effects, a sporadic, low electric shock, and interwoven, layered guitar play. &ldquo;Unconditional&rdquo; uses a Motown-like backing track beefed up by a strong kick and slow, sizzling hats, cymbals, and snares. Midway through &ldquo;Unconditional&rdquo; Poldoore is joined by Will Magid&rsquo;s saucy, bayou-evoking horn solo. &ldquo;Call It A Day&rdquo; is a dreamy funk affair full of shimmery, echoing melodies, teetering guitars, forward-staggering key stabs, and a stand out bass line. The Day Off is full of sonic sunshine, exactly the kind of sonic weather fit for enjoying what little time there is for leisure and much appreciated in today&rsquo;s musical climate.

Out Now On Proceed Records

1. Paradise (Dream Mix) (feat. Silvio Gigante)
2. If You Love Somebody Set Them Free (Deep Mix) (feat. Sergi’o)
3. Finally (Different Mix)
4. Zodiac (Deep Mix) (feat. Silvio Gigante)

Founded by renowned DJ / producer Haldo, Italian house music label Proceed Records is proud to present the Back to the Past #1 EP, the first in a series of familiar songs covered in a deep house style. No stranger to producing deep and soulful house music, Haldo has released with labels such as Transport Recordings, Conya, Adaptation Music, and labels of his own with remix work for house heavyweights like Tony Humphries and Victor Simonelli. For this first installment he adds his finesse to &rsquo;70s disco, &rsquo;80s new wave pop, and &rsquo;90s house and soul with the help of vocalists Sergi&rsquo;o and Silvio Gigante (also known as London producer Stereo-Junkie). Silvio Gigante contributes vocals to two of the EP&rsquo;s cuts; with his help, Haldo turns gospel-singer-turned-disco-songstress Roberta Kelly&rsquo;s &ldquo;Zodiac&rdquo; into a driving cosmic trip. Next, Silvio and Haldo transform the ever-lovely Sade&rsquo;s &ldquo;Paradise&rdquo; into a speedier wave of synth pleasure with a sense of an easy-going groove, much like the source. Enter Sergi&rsquo;o from stage left, singing on &ldquo;If You Love Somebody Set Them Free,&rdquo; Sting&rsquo;s aphorism-inspired original. In Haldo&rsquo;s Deep Mix a jazz tinge is kept, but to spacious effect. After stumbling across a DJ tool acapella for &ldquo;Finally,&rdquo; Haldo decided a more sophisticated and smooth song was waiting to be built around CeCe Peniston&rsquo;s classic. His Different Mix does just this, all while maintaining the fun of the original. Combined, this release is a chance to take a trip down memory lane, entertaining new ones along the way.

1. Rumble (Breach Extended Mix)
2. Rumble (Breach Extended Dub)

Ninja Tune is pleased to present "Rumble," Kelis' latest single ahead of her sixth studio album Food. The Grammy nominated, qualified cordon blue chef has been wowing live audiences with both food and song as of late. Indeed her new single with remixes from Breach is another tasty treat. The more house-based alias of Ben Westbeech, Breach has seen a momentum building year in 2013 while growing his Naked Naked label, delivering smashing singles, and touring - all culminating in a DJ-Kicks compilation release. For his "Rumble" remix, Breach works out Kelis' vocals over title-emulating bass, adding low end to the organ riff that drives the song. The Extended Mix and Dub use the extra room to drop a distorted, grime-like mutation of the bass line and add euphoria-inducing keys. Breach's work effortlessly transform's Kelis' single into a modern UK garage and house hybrid with plenty of sheen.

The Cold Busted label returns with German producer Krystian Shek for the new album&nbsp;Destroy &amp; Rebuild V2. Krystian appeared on the scene in 2003 with his first of three artist albums on the late Pete Namlook&rsquo;s FAX +49&ndash;69/450464 label. Impressively prolific, other albums appeared on labels such as the Indonesian imprint UTC Wired and Diventa Recordings while singles have found their way onto Berettamusic and previous Cold Busted releases. Destroy &amp; Rebuild V2 takes on world influences matched with sharply percussive downtempo beats. Highlights include the sweet sounds found sifting through the South East Asia-inspired "Soi Honey," the funky breaks, spaced-out Middle East synth melodies, and grinding bass line that make up "Muammar Al Gaddafi," and the glitchy acid-tinged "Sunshine." The latter wouldn't feel out of place as the theme to a dramatic special agent movie scene shot in some exotic location (music licensors for action films take note). A solid collection.

Quincy Jointz (Timewarp Music) - &#8220;Fresh beats and fat production with a taste of the golden age of downbeats. Good one.&#8221; 
Stereo 77 (Plimsoll Records) - &#8220;There are some really cool things happening here … another Cold Busted classic!&#8221;

DJ Nartak (Nightflight / Klassik Lounge) - &#8220;Diverse in style and sound … downtempo as it should be.&#8221; 
Sam Hopkins (AccuRadio, Chicago) - &#8220;The variety here is refreshing. The melodic tracks are beautiful, and the more beat-heavy tracks are bangers!&#8221; 
Aja Allsop (Ketch A Vibe Radio Show) - &#8220;Eclectic beats and sounds to astound the senses.&#8221; 
Marc Lacasse (sHIFT Radio / Jackhouse) - &#8220;There are a lot of happy sounds revolving around each track. It&#8217;s springtime and these jams will get people in the mood.&#8221; 
Clairvo (Tilos Radio, Hungary) - &#8220;I&#8217;m enjoying the fresh sounds and the far east elements.&#8221; 
DJ Morpheus (Lysergic Factory / Radio Campus) - &#8220;Superb tracks in here … totally up my alley. They are lovely and zany and exotic at times.&#8221;

+ six more songs on the full album

Athens, Greece DJ and producer mister T. has readied another ace album for the Cold Busted label -- the appropriately titled Funk Around the Sun LP -- and this one is sure to be in heavy rotation. mister T. is a master of instrumental, soulful, and upbeat dance floor funk, and this album further solidifies this fact. Retro party sounds get the beat-down with a playful attitude in twelve funk-tastic tracks, just in time for summer. It's hard to pick highlights, but here's a few: "Mo Style" has powerful vocals from the '60s era that some may find familiar, but reimagined over funky breaks with rhythmic guitar licks, brassy horns, and soul organs. The horn section comes further front-and-center over the drum spatter of "Dig This," with the addition of humor through a sparingly used vocal sample. Then, in the style of swing, "The Usual" is set to have people twirling about the dance floor in dramatic arms flailing, feet kicking fashion. Delicious stuff, primed and ready for the dancehall.

Kid Loco - &#8220;Simple + Groovy + Tasty = Great.&#8221; 
DJ Moneyshot (Solid Steel Radio / NinjaTune) - &#8220;Solid, son. I pity the fool that can&#8217;t get down to a mister T. beat.&#8221;

1. Brothers & Sisters This Sound Run Town
2. Mamma Used To Tell Me
3. In My Soul
4. Feel This Song
5. Roll On You
6. Something To Funk On

Cold Busted is pleased to present the Gonna Give Ya Something To Funk On EP from Vladimir Sivc and his Funky Destination project. As it says on the package - with both the artist and title featuring the four letter word - this one tips the 'funk' scale. Crossing his native country of Croatia from east to west, Svic first took up singing and playing rhythm guitar before discovering turntables and DJ'ing on the move. He now travels through various styles while producing fresh music based around the use of live instruments. With an inclination towards the wild and groovy, Svic turns back the dial to rest on a retro feel for his new EP. "Brothers &amp; Sisters This Sound Run Town" starts the release with the revving of a motorbike engine and boastful reggae vocals over rock guitars &hellip; almost too much cool for one song, but indicative of things to come. Other highlights include the energetic squeal of prominent sax, horns, and equally ernest vocals on "Mamma Used To Tell Me" and the unapologetic dance floor focused "In My Soul" with its sliding guitar licks and swoon worthy singing. 

Mark Farina - &#8220;Good tunes!&#8221; 
Kid Loco - &#8220;More funky stuff … top class!&#8221; 
Ursula 1000 - &#8220;Dope.&#8221;

Funky Destination - Gonna Give Ya Something To Funk On (Cold Busted)

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.

(+ 8 more tracks on the full album)

The Cold Busted label is pleased to present another installment of their funky and soulful downtempo beat series Street Bangerz, designating Volume 9 to fourteen tracks by Sixfingerz, a Belgian producer from Antwerp. While he prides himself on a library of ethnic, worldly instruments and a collection of old records from which to draw from, the influences of his early years of music listening are also strong, coming in phases of IDM or hip hop. All of these weigh in to give his tracks an old school feel when it comes to sounds, but a foundational freedom for dealing in atypical beat patterns and arrangements. Indeed, much of the sounds used in Sixfingerz' edition of Street Bangerz have an almost instant, timeless familiarity, even if strictly on a subconscious level for some. The guitars stylistically pull from different eras, the musings of instruments from far away lands excite, the rhythm section's samples and pitch manipulated vocal chops are complex, and the lo-fi effects bond together his other unique, knick-knack filled sound pallets. This is not trip hop or downtempo as some may know it, but a hyperactive and boundary-less take on the formats.

Leo Zero - "It's right up my street for those funkier sets." 
Renegades Of Jazz (Agogo Records / Mojo Club) - "Fresh rhythms … I like them all a lot! Funk and soul re-imagined for the 21st century with proper production techniques."

Sixfingerz - Street Bangerz Volume 9 (Cold Busted)

Out Now On Coastline Recordings:

1.   Paradise Heat (Main Mix)
2.  Paradise Heat (Dub Mix)

Prepare to be transported to a sun-drenched dancefloor with Kenny Knight's latest single, "Paradise Heat." Released on his own Coastline Recordings label, this two-track offering showcases Knight's signature blend of vintage and modern house elements, creating a sound that's both nostalgic and fresh.

The Main Mix of "Paradise Heat" is a masterclass in building a vibe. Knight weaves together spoken word samples and soulful vocal drops, creating a vocal tapestry that's ear-catching. Underneath, a tough four-on-the-floor beat and insistent bassline provide the perfect foundation for the track's other elements to shine. Vintage chord stabs and lush '70s-style strings create a rich, textured soundscape, while spacey effects add an otherworldly touch. But the real star of the show is the main Moog synth riff, which takes control and leads the way, guiding the listener on a journey through Knight's sonic paradise.

For those who prefer their house music a bit more stripped-down, the Dub Mix of "Paradise Heat" delivers. Here, Knight puts the focus squarely on the track's classic-style synth lead, allowing it to take center stage. Extra percussion elements, exclusive to this mix, surround the analog layers, creating a sound that's both punchy and groovy.

With "Paradise Heat," Kenny Knight and Coastline Recordings have delivered a timeless and timely house cut that's sure to be on repeat at pool parties and late-night gatherings alike. Don't sleep on this one – "Paradise Heat" is the real deal.

Out Now On No Way Back:

1.  Be-All
2. Be-All (Allen Craig Remix)
3. End-all

Be-All / End-All, a new three-track offering from Brad Eller's No Way Back imprint, showcases Brad's project Always Friends and his prowess in crafting deep, soulful soundscapes that are as intellectually stimulating as they are danceable.

"Be-All" sets the stage with a tight kick and bass combo, layered with liquidy synth pads that create a dubbed-out dance-scape. It's a journey through late-night sparkles and deep house shakes that leave listeners craving more.

Enter Allen Craig, whose remix of "Be-All" injects a classic deep techno feel into the mix. With filtered pads and snappy percussive hits, Craig's interpretation is a mesmerizing spin around the dancefloor cul-de-sac.

Rounding out the release, "End-All" cranks up the BPM with a sleek tech house vibe. It's a ride down dimly lit city streets featuring shimmering chord pads that hark back to classic Detroit stylings. The track's dark bounce and intense dub elements showcase Eller's willingness to embrace chaos in his typically controlled productions.

Todd Wilson (Millhouse Music) – “The hits keep coming! End-All will go great for my rooftop sets at Neon Grotto.”  
Cuillere (No Fuss) – “Brad is on fire with this ep !! love this and really enjoying the Allen Craig remix.”  
Nick Power (Soul Kandi) – “Liking the vibes on this track. Plays coming soon.”

Dr. Best (Radio Z, Nuernberg) – “Three great deep house tunes on this release. Full support.”  
Steve ‘Griffo’ Griffiths (Subspace Radio Show) – “Excellent ep! Be-All grooves in all the right places taking the dancers down to a deep house disco whilst Allen Craig's mix dives deeper taking it down a couple of notches, a dreamy, spaced out affair. End-All moves into dark disco territory upping the tempo to have the dancers sweating profusely.”

Out Now On Neville Street Music:

1. Rose Rose - Affection

French electronic duo Rose Rose returns with "Affection," a pristine single that proves dance music can be both sophisticated and primal. The track's architecture rests on a foundation of handclaps and an inspiring kick drum, while echoed cowbells and squelchy synth pads create an atmospheric playground above. At its core, a funked-out disco bassline drives the journey forward, offering just enough groove to keep bodies moving without overwhelming the delicate sound design.

"Affection" masterfully balances club-ready energy with home-listening appeal, crafting a sonic space where strobe lights meet introspection. The duo's signature blend of house and French touch aesthetics shines through in the production details, with each element precisely placed to maximize emotional resonance and dancefloor impact. Sublime.

Coming Soon From Green Gorilla Lounge: 

1. Give Youurrself Tooo Meee

Sleight of Hands shuffles the house music deck with "Give Youurrself Tooo Meee," the latest single on Green Gorilla Lounge showcasing the San Francisco duo's knack for musical alchemy. Manny Alferez and Phil Collis combine their creative DNA to produce a track that pulses vintage warmth and contemporary edge. The production demonstrates the pair's technical finesse, drawing from Alferez's deep house roots and Collis's musical acumen. While the track's DNA carries traces of classic Chicago house, it's reimagined through a distinctly West Coast lens. The vocal hook floats above a carefully crafted foundation of analog-inspired synths and precision-tooled rhythms, creating a sound at home in intimate clubs or festival peaks. This one delivers without overplaying its hand—a rare trick indeed.

Out Now On R Side Recordings: 

1. Can't Go Back
2. Downside

DJ Samuel Lawrence returns with a double-sided single that proves his mastery of late-night dance floor dynamics. Released on his R-Side Recordings, "Can't Go Back" and "Downside" showcase the veteran producer's knack for crafting purposeful club weapons that speak to classic sensibilities.

The lead cut, "Can't Go Back," builds around a hefty kick drum foundation, layering filtered female vocals over a muscular bass pattern. Lawrence demonstrates finesse in the breakdown section, where swirling percussion elements create tension before the track's thunderous return. On the flip, "Downside" ventures into moodier territory. The track's tribal rhythmic core pulses beneath cinematic string arrangements, while a processed vocal hook adds an air of mystery. The production nods to warehouse-era aesthetics while maintaining a modern punch, particularly in its gritty low-frequency elements.

Drawing from his two decades behind the decks at events like Love Parade and Burning Man, Lawrence has distilled his understanding of the dancefloor into these two complementary cuts. The release reinforces his reputation for delivering reliable DJ ammunition that sacrifices neither creativity nor impact.

Jon Fugler (Fluke) – “Something very satisfying about both of these tracks.”  
Jason Merle (4E&A Records) – “Serious underground bizness right there.”  
Jim Stiff (Woodwork Recordings) – “Downside is my favorite. I love when the sustained pads come in and give it a light feel before the vox come in and make it extra heavy.”  
Michael Stukes (Mystic Vybes Radio Show) – “Full support for this one. 5/5.”  
Juan Moreno (Traum Schallplaten) – “Nice track, perfect for the nighttime.”  
Anthonne Shepherd (BoogieKnights) – “I'm really digging the vocal in Can't Go Back. Downside is wicked too and the punters will instantly be singing along.”

3. Moving (Nytron Remix)

From the bustling streets of Belo Horizonte, Brazil, to the heart of the global house music scene, DJ Daniel D has been spinning tracks that resonate with the soul of dance floors around the world. Daniel's music invites us on a sonic journey that bridges the gap between the nostalgic echoes of the '70s funk and disco and the pulsating rhythms of modern house, tech, acid and beyond.

His latest release on his DWorx label, "Moving", is a straight ahead house groover complete with classic samples, strings, piano and a meandering synth line that will keep heads nodding and dancefloors moving.

Benja & Berna (DJ Benjamin Ferreira and DJ Bernardo Pinheiro) step in for one of the remixes, taking the tempo and the mood up a notch with a slightly more modern take, adding acid lines and drum rolls, morphing all the original sounds into a peak hour house jam. Last up on remix duties is Nytron, a prolific artist and hot item on the Beatport charts. Nytron’s take on the track infuses some 80’s sensibilities into the track while giving it a slight disco vibes. Bouncy basslines and airy synth stabs round this one out finish off a single that is sure to please many a dancefloor. Get down!

Out Now On Green Gorilla Lounge:

1.  Stokin (Sleight of Hands Remix)
2. Stokin
3. Stokin (Radio Edit)

Animal Friend's "Stokin" takes on new dimensions in the hands of San Francisco production duo Sleight of Hands, who transform the original's indie-disco framework into something altogether more expansive. This remix package, released via Green Gorilla Lounge, showcases the source material's strength and the remixers' deft touch at reconstruction.

The Sleight of Hands remix maintains Kazuko Anne Kimura's haunting vocals while building new sound architectures beneath. The duo's production style shines through in the careful layering of breaks and house rhythms, creating dance floor momentum without sacrificing the original's psychedelic undertones.

What's particularly striking is how the remix honors Animal Friend's evolution from an 80s-inspired rock outfit to electronic innovators. The original mix, included in the package, provides context for this transformation and highlights how Kimura and Jasper Speicher have developed their distinctive voices in San Francisco's electronic music landscape.

Jon Wesley (Insomniac) – “I love the Slight of Hands remix. It reminds me of Plastic Dreams a bit. Love the vocal too. Great San Francisco-style house.”  
Juan Moreno (Neo Ouija) – “Nice. Perfect track for the night.”  
Luis Machuca (Friskybeat Records) – “New funky wave vibes.”  
Ket Shah (Mucho Soul) – “The Original Mix is a Strong Dancefloor tool.”

Out Now On R Side Recordings:

1. Used To Hold Me
2. Light Dark

DJ Samuel Lawrence's latest offering on R Side Recordings speaks to those twilight moments when the club becomes a sanctuary of shared consciousness. The two-track release showcases Lawrence's masterful understanding of deep house's spiritual DNA while pushing the dancefloor into fresh territory.

"Used to Hold Me" centers on a masterfully engineered kick drum that anchors floating vocal fragments and precise stereo stabs. The production achieves that elusive sweet spot where technical excellence meets pure dance floor magnetism. Lawrence then orchestrates layers of tribal percussion and crisp snare hits into the moody warehouse burner, "Light Dark." Like watching storm clouds gather through factory windows, the track's ominous breakdown creates tension before unleashing its rhythmic payload.

Both tracks demonstrate R Side Recordings' commitment to releasing house music that prioritizes sonic innovation and DJ utility. Lawrence's careful attention to the subtleties of sub-bass and atmospheric space allows these tools to work in both peak-time slots and deeper sets. Dig in.

Out Now On 294 Records: 

1. What Is House
2. What Is House (Paul et Luc Remix)
3. What Is House (Nytron Remix)

DJ Daniel D's latest single on 294 Records poses the genre's most fundamental question ... the Brazilian producer's "What Is House" arrives as a three-track exploration, each version offering its own compelling answer through sound rather than words.

The Original Mix serves as a love letter to house music's golden age, where staccato piano chords dance atop filtered disco basslines. Its buoyant synth riffs and incendiary drum programming capture the essence of those transcendent dance floor moments when time seems to stand still.

The duo Paul et Luc transform the track with their signature touch, injecting Moroder- inspired bass patterns and soaring string arrangements that build to euphoric heights. Meanwhile, Nytron, son of Brazilian music royalty Pepeu Gomes and Baby, takes the track into deeper territory. His remix growls with subsonic intensity and spatial awareness, nodding to UK garage while maintaining the original's celebratory spirit.

This release demonstrates how house music's seemingly simple formula continues to yield fresh interpretations, adding another distinct chapter in an ongoing conversation about the house music's endless possibilities.

Rory Hoy (Super Hi-Fi) – “Sho nuff funky, the Paul et Luc remix is - great stuff!”  
Tommy D Funk (Good For You Records) – “Wicked track. The Original Mix is the one.”  
Lönya (Asymmetric Recordings) – “Great single. All of the the mixes are cool.”  
Delmar Browne (The BK Basement) – “One of a kind affair.”  
Klaus Benedek (Fortunea Records) – “Paul et Luc remix is massive!”

Out Now On Green Gorilla Lounge:

1. Glorious (Anthony Mansfield Remix)
2. Glorious
3. Glorious (Radio Edit)

San Francisco's dance music veteran Anthony Mansfield brings his psychedelic touch to Animal Friend's "Glorious" in a remix that transforms the indie-electronic original into a hypnotic dancefloor expedition. The remix skillfully preserves Kazuko Anne Kimura's ethereal vocals while wrapping them in layers of rich, cosmic synthesizers and pulsating rhythms.

Mansfield, whose musical journey began with the legendary Wicked Crew's full moon parties, demonstrates his decades of experience behind the decks in this carefully crafted revision. "I wanted to create something that would work equally well at 4 AM in a sweaty warehouse or during sunset at Burning Man," Mansfield explains. His remix accomplishes exactly that, maintaining the emotional core of Animal Friend's original while expanding its horizons into deeper, more psychedelic territory. The result is a sophisticated piece of dance music that bridges the gap between indie sensibilities and club culture. Dive in!

DJ Three (Hallucienda) – “Both mixes are very well done and in the crate.”  
Jon Fugler (Fluke) – “A fine slice of late night loveliness.”  
Chris Todd (Crazy P) – “Great stuff, both the Original and Anthony’s remix.”  
Ket Shah (Mucho Soul) – “The Original and Remix are great Pieces of Electronica.”

2. Tapeworm
3. Lost Control
4. Moon Walking
5. Droppin Moms
6. Reverse Polarity
7. Merky Atmosphere
8. Selective Memory


Tobor Rellik graces us with Stationary Traveling, his first full-length excursion into softly muted insanity—the flavor-rich compilation of dance tracks and beyond leverages dissonance with mastery. Launching the compilation is a floaty-found sound reprise perfect for dialing in the tension in the atmosphere. Stripped-down serenades like "Tapeworm" and "Lost Control" hover between resonating nightmare fuel and future funk. "Walking in Circles" dials in the bass theatrics while keeping the blended sonic shimmers. "Droppin Moms" and "Reverse Polarity" dial up the disorienting percussion with breakdowns into largely chaotic meshes of silliness and uncertainty. "Merky Atmosphere" is an absolutely bonkers late-night driver. Stubbled drum fills and high-intensity bass variations propel the later episodes of the album. "Selective Memory" harkens to early Spectral releases with the same detail in the groove. Tobor Rellik has consistently contributed to the Harmonious Discord's evolution, and this album perfectly encapsulates his development into a sonic force.

Taigo Onez (Bang Le’ Dex) – “Truly a righteous release. Hard to pick a favorite here. This entire body of work is really, really nice! In full support! 10/10”.

All this activity has mouths watering for the debut full length album from Emapea, and the appearance of Seeds, Roots & Fruits doesn’t disappoint one bit.

3. How Could I
4. Without Gravity (feat. Angela Muhwezi)

6. Leaving the Past Behind (feat. Laura Mace)
7. Free Fall (Of Your Soul) (feat. Natasha Agrama)

Captain Supernova has re-entered the atmosphere from out of nowhere with a fantastic new album, titled Doors Of Perception. An ‘American astronaut’ sent to interact with extraterrestrials using synthesizers, but also a multi-instrumentalist with high profile appearances at San Jose Jazz Festival, Rendezvous LA, and Loftsess under his belt, Captain Supernova has developed a unique and confident sound that draws upon equal portions of jazz, hip hop, funk, and synthy trip hop to complete his vision. After the acclaim and success of his self-released debut Visions of the Unknown – which made its way on many ‘best of 2014’ lists – Captain Supernova has adjusted his flight plan to orbit the Cold Busted label. Doors Of Perception builds on his stunning musicality and deft stylistic fusions to reveal seven tracks of smooth and uncompromisingly funky jazz-influenced music. 

The secret weapons in the Captain’s arsenal are an amazing crew of guest vocalists. Jackie Gage, who was heard on Visions of the Unknown, contributes her soulful tones to “Only One”, with the lovely music providing an ample showcase for the Bay Area singer. “Without Gravity” is a smooth, jazzy wonder that dreamily incorporates the voice of Notown Sound’s Angela Muhwezi … the result is a fine sonic approximation of ‘floating.’ Globally active Los Angeles-based vocalist Laura Mace waxes wistfully with “Leaving The Past Behind”, capturing a feeling of psychedelic balladry when mixed with Captain Supernova’s flowing music-field. Also from Los Angeles, Natasha Agrama collaborates on two very different songs: the late night waltz “Searching Forever” and the pensive but upbeat groover “Free Fall (Of Your Soul)”. Despite the variety of vocal contributors, Doors Of Perception has a cohesive, story-telling sequence, glued together by Captain Supernova’s smart and melodic arrangements. 

So, have a seat in the smoking lounge of Captain Supernova’s star cruiser, grab a glass of galactic libation, and have a deep listen to Doors Of Perception. You will be blissfully floating in no time at all.

Historically Casablanca has been known as a global melting pot; a place where cultures mingle and fuse. This quality is evident in the dazzling music of Casablanca-based beat-maker and guitarist saib., who, after EP releases on Cult Classic Records and Japan’s Introducing! label, has revealed his debut long-player, the appropriately titled Around The World album for Cold Busted. These tunes showcase saib.’s worldly vibe, tied together with his intricate guitar playing which deftly keeps up with all the styles represented on the album. Hip hop beats form the backbone as saib.’s musical palette skips from jazz flavors to lounge experiments to Asian textures … and sometimes within a single track. Highlights include the dance floor stomp of “Casablanca Funk”, “Don’t Be Lonely Tonight”’s jazzy sing-a-long groove, the kung fu beats and gentle melodies in “Shanghai Nights”, and the dreamy “In The Mountains” which highlights saib.’s exceptional guitar technique. Around The World is indeed a non-stop flight, touching down on all of saib.’s influences and predilections, creating a memorable album along the way.

Greek rhythm rustler Chop Juggler has dropped his debut album – titled More Is Less – to follow up the well-received Diggasmic EP on Cult Classic Records. Released on the prolific Cold Busted label, More Is Less collects eleven top notch beat-heavy jams from the young producer, now in his early twenties but involved in music making since the beginning of his teens. His artist name is apt, as Chop Juggler is adept at taking loops and samples and melding, twisting, and – yes – chopping them into intricate compositions. “Amethyst” provides convincing evidence; seemingly disparate sources are cut into sonic snatches, layered and bursting in and out of the mix to any beat-head’s delight. There’s also the more uptempo “Night Travel” which sounds just like that … if one is traveling by moonlight in a ’70s television crime drama. Slower, spacey moments like “Money Can’t Buy Time” and “Brave New World” showcase Chop Juggler’s depth, but with his ear for striking samples and tough hip hop beats still in full display. More Is Less follows through in its title’s statement by never overwhelming, but the album’s satisfying flow will indeed find the listener looking for more from this talented producer.

Cold Busted’s famed Street Bangerz series has reached its tenth installment, continuing to, in the words of the label, “define the street sound of today.” Indoctrinating global beatmakers into Cold Busted’s extended family, the series promises nimble sample archeology and breakbeats both funky and soulful, combining flavors from the new and old schools. The Athens, Greece, producer Moderator has been tasked with number ten, and he delivers in a champion fashion. Last year’s The World Within album for Cult Classic Records gave a tantalizing taste of what to expect from Moderator as Street Bangerz Volume 10 now rolls onto the scene. Fifteen tracks of bouncing beat-head hotness are introduced by the crucial soul-breaks of “Ain’t Nobody Change My Mind” … and it won’t take much further than “Trouble”’s Jamaican-style skank in the following track to realize the variety of sounds presented here. “Underground Dopiness” and “Keep On”, a couple of classic-themed hip hop tracks featuring Los Angeles rhyme crew Revolutionary Rhythm, and appearances by female emcee Maicee and soulful vocalist Heeni also display Moderator’s impressive sonic breadth. But the cohesive thread throughout is Moderator’s keen production acumen and solid beats, keeping this edition of Street Bangerz on track for repeated listens and dance floor plays.

Kid Loco - "Top Class. All tracks are ace. He ain't no 'moderator', this guy is the liquidator. Best beats around for a while."

Poldoore’s The Day After, his brilliant second album for the Cold Busted label, garnered heaps of praise, loads of play, and a multitude of heads nodding to its crafty beats. The next step is to revisit these songs with a collection of delicious remix treatments, contained in the upcoming The Day After Remixes. For an advance taste, Cold Busted has gathered two of these cool versions for a special 7“ single.

Bravo. He gives the track a cool FM soul vibe, adding G-funk melodies, chunky guitar, and a bubbling R&B bass line that wonderfully compliments the source material.

Cold Busted has navigated the smooth seas to unearth Sailing, the new album from Moroccan guitarist and beat-flinger saib. With acclaimed releases for Cult Classic Records and Japan’s Introducing! label as well as his 2016 long-player Around The World for Cold Busted, the Casablanca-based producer has steered his sound into warmer waters. Mixing tempered hip hop beats with jazzy vibes and a lounge sensibility, saib. touches on a style that’s both chill and opulent. The album’s opener, “Archipelago,” sets the scene with gentle piano, swirling strings, and beachside sounds that would make Martin Denny proud. “Tropics” pushes the agenda further, featuring delightful vibraphone lines, stand-up bass, and boom bap beats, providing the perfect soundtrack for poolside cocktails. The sleepy crooning of “Blue Memories,” the future-retro sing-a-long of “Mermaid Dreams,” and the guitar/vibes interplay of “Pastel” provide other highlights. Sailing’s twelve songs show saib. as an artist capable of bringing a sunny climate to any listening environment. All hands on decks!

Austin hip hop beatrepreneur The Deli made serious waves with his previous Cold Busted album Vibes 3, featuring the song “Flowers.” This track shook up the Spotify world with over 14 million plays and inclusion on at least 500 playlists. Anticipation is strong for a follow-up from The Deli and, with his new album Jazz Cat, he delivers with gusto. Filled with the smoked-out, laid-back cut-and-paste rhythm-ology that The Deli is known for, Jazz Cat contains 15 enticing beat compositions. The title cut shows where he’s at, transmitting an old-is-new-again feel through scratchy snare snaps, loping piano chords, and faraway — both in time and place — city sounds. Other highlights include the dreamy lounge pressure of “Virgo Flip,” “Fractals” and its shimmering vibraphone atmospheres, the ‘hip hop party happening down the street’ vibe of “Spring,” and the crucial, jazzy beat construction of “Going Home.” Dig in … wIth Jazz Cat, The Deli trips the night fantastic.

The title track sets the tone, intro’ing with a fat (phat!) beat before a time traveling blues vocal enters the scene. Dusty strings, stabs of filtered guitar, and a pulsing low end lend a feel that’s both wistful and dance-worthy. Album opener “Easy Tiger” also shows Mister T’s imagination, meshing a steady breakbeat with an Asian melody line, hits of dramatic strings, and a somewhat spooky, effected vocal chorus. The result is mesmerizing. Mister T gracefully jumps genres but keeps everything tied to his sound — from the straight-ahead funk of “The Magician,” to the bombast of “Rock Stars,” to the dancehall touches of “Soundboy Burial,” and to the promised big band of “Big Band.” Never a dull moment … Mister T and Black Drop are delightfully all over the place, and always on point.

MadameFLY (mmRadio) – “There's a masterclass in the Wicked Funky Bottom blues at the center of Black Drop: Rhythm N Blues, Black Drop, Rock Stars are all top-line favorites, and there's no slouching among the rest of the tunes either. Impressive work from Mr. T!”

With his acclaimed debut album Seeds, Roots & Fruits, an inclusion on Mark Farina’s Mushroom Jazz 8, and notable Cold Busted compilation appearances, the Polish beat-master Emapea has been a producer to watch. Early in 2018 he unveiled Zoning Out, Volume 1, an album intended for chilling while deep in thought, or for getting into that crucial head-nod zone, like when the DJ drops the dopest beat. With listeners ready for more rhythmic brain-food, Emapea provides with the anticipated next installment: Zoning Out, Volume 2. 

Developing the theme of Volume 1, Emapea takes his jazzy sensibilities and fresh drum patterns and ups the ante, delivering 18 mandatory cuts that swerve and shimmy while exhibiting pure dopeness. Take “Last Cypher,” which is an infectious funk-hip-hop hybrid that flows with more than a few surprise embellishments. There’s also the low-rider spy-hop of “Big Small Talks”; “Tantra” with its smooth, old school ride; the sensual boom bap of “Blue Almonds”; and the infectious, latin-lounge-tinged “Rainy Day”. 

These are no-nonsense beat compositions, perfect for thinking, for grooving, for dreaming, for zoning out. Emapea and Cold Busted come correct once again. 

.

Boston beat-maker Jenova 7 returns to Cold Busted for the crucial cut collection Dusted Jazz Vol. 3. A crate-digging vinyl junkie and film school graduate, inspired by the heyday of ‘90s trip-hop — and artists like DJ Shadow, DJ Krush, and Portishead — Jenova 7 forged his own sound, eventually ending up on DJ Mark Farina’s Mushroom Jazz 8. After taking a stylistic departure with the funky sci-fi themed album A Cosmic Safari, his collaboration with Russia’s Eddie Shinn, Jenova 7 issues the long-awaited third volume of Dusted Jazz, following the first two volumes on Dusted Wax Kingdom. He is also a member of trip-hop trio Wax Triptych (with Mononome and Mr. Moods).

The cuts transmit a hazy and jazzy flow throughout, featuring chalky mid-tempo breakbeats and funky beamed-in-from-the-70s atmospheres and flavors. You can almost see a sun-drenched, scratchy super-8 film accompanying “5 Pointz Theme,” an immensely cool cut paying homage to a city’s graffiti center. “You Dig?”, which originally appeared on IWYMI Volume Nine, continues the vibe, delivering squelchy vintage synth, chunky piano, and a lovely guitar interlude. And “Static,” featuring the lovely vocals of K8 Marcos, reveals Jenova 7’s range — it’s a delicious, breezy trip hop tune that wouldn’t be out of place alongside the likes of Zero 7.

Dusted Jazz Vol. 3 is a treasure from top to bottom, and Jenova 7 joins the ranks of his influences with this accomplished and multi-faceted release.

Dusted Jazz Vol. 3

Jenova 7 - Dusted Jazz Vol. 3 (Cold Busted)

Out Now On Viva Recordings:

1.    With The Jazz (Berthas Deep Grüv Remix)
2.   With The Jazz (Omotani's Original Mix)
3.   With The Jazz (Tim K's Extended Remix)

.
Long-time member of the Viva Recordings fam Todd Omotani reaches out with a top notch single for the esteemed imprint. A veteran Pacific Northwest DJ, Omotani has held residencies in Seattle, Chicago, Vancouver, and Tokyo (at his renowned monthly SOLID party). Omotani’s discography contains releases on Amenti, Mark Farina’s Great Lakes Audio, and Viva — including a recent remix of Jay Tripwire’s “Filament Burst.” Also, Omotani is a talented artist and graphic designer, responsible for iconic images and cover art for numerous Viva releases.

“With The Jazz” is a smooth deep house cut that will please the old school heads to no end. Warm Rhodes-style keys, vibe riffs, a bouncing bass line, and cool vocal drops move this to the front of the DJ’s crate. Chicago’s legendary Diz, operating under the nom de plume of Bertha, tackles the first remix. It’s a swirly, hypnotic take, featuring intricate chord interplay, a sweet trumpet, and a feet-pleasing chunky groove. San Francisco’s Tim K, who supplied keys on the original version, rejoins the release for the second remix. A disco-style bass line leads this one on to the floor, while spacier, echoed elements appear in the midsection. Other melodic solos come on board, making this a definite late night treat.

Omotani’s “With That Jazz” will be released on vinyl with full color artwork by N8W. This is Viva Recordings’ first vinyl release in over ten years, limited to 300 copies.

.
Pezzner (Freerange) – “We don't get to hear house music like this enough these days. Todd is a true creative force to be reckoned with and the original really shows. On the flip side, Tim's mix evokes horns so smooth even Herb Alpert can appreciate. Great record.”  
Kirby (Nordic Trax) – “Nice EP. Loving the Diz (Bertha) remix. The Original and Tim K mixes are really nice too.”  
Lil’ Mark (Apollo) – “Diz’s mix is my fave.”  
Tyler Stadius (Deepsite) – “Classy, nice tracks. I love the muted trumpet.”  
KJ (Integrity Recordings) – “This is seriously dope.”  
Mr. Bootsauce (Unity) – “Diggin’ the original mix. Jazz is always good.”  
Mr. V (Sole Channel Music) – “I love Bertha’s mix, thanks!”  
Rory Cochrane (Deep Site Sessions) – “Love Bertha’s Mix. Will support on the Deep Site Sessions show.”  
Salvatore Logicfusion (Deepinradio) – “Beautiful stuff.”  
Steve ‘Griffo’ Griffiths (Freak Da Funk) – “Yowzah! What a great way to start the day as I eat my cornflakes and listen to this. I’ve loved Diz's woprk since he 90's and no surprise that so far Bertha's mix stands out for me. Omotani's mix goes for the noodle and makes for perfect late night/early morning listening. Tim K's mix transports me back to the early 80's jazz funk scene. Great record.”

Omotani - With The Jazz (Viva Recordings)

Out Now On Cold Busted: 

1.   Off Topic
2.  Zoned Out
3.  Coffee Lounge
4.  Back and Forth

.
St. Louis producer Bonus Points scores high with Off Topic, an outstanding four-song EP for the Cold Busted label. With previous appearances on Chillhop Records, Sundae Sauuce, Horizon, and others, Bonus Points delivers a dazzling take on boom-bap beats and future funk. Bonus Points is a graphic designer by day and, in turn, his musical compositions reflect attention to color, form, and detail. These beats are visual.

The release’s title cut opens things with a spacey intro before delving into some serious sunshine lounge vibes. A cool breeze wafts through these melodies. “Zoned Out” follows with a distant, romantic guitar and a lonesome, pensive feeling that’s perfect for seaside pondering. Next up is the old-timey jazz bop of “Coffee Lounge,” recalling the St. Louis swing of yesteryear over some phat beats. Off Topic closes with “Back And Forth,” featuring more cool, jazzy guitar riffs and a wanderer’s groove. Solid and ready for action.

.
Rusty (AGFA) (Super Hi-Fi) – “Bonus Points is great, always love the depth and soul to the production. Top Notch as they say in the UK, or this shit is dope as we say in the USA.”  
Andrew Emil (Glenview Records) – “This whole EP is quite amazing.”

Bonus Points - Off Topic (Cold Busted)

Out Now On Cold Busted:

1.   Brazilero
2.  Jet Set
3.  Lady Jane
4.  Jazzy

.
Cold Busted has unveiled the latest offering in the vintage-style Jet Set 7” series. This time it’s from saib., the Moroccan beat-smith behind the exquisite albums Sailing and Around The World. Mixing tempered hip hop beats with jazzy vibes and a lounge sensibility, saib. touches on a style that’s both chill and opulent — fitting for the nostalgic vacation vibe of Jet Set.

The bossa nova flavors of “Brazilero” open the single as we calm our nerves with a tropical drink. The title cut then transports the listener through an airport lounge and straight into a groovy seat in first class. Dreams are another form of travel and “Lady Jane” captures that perfectly with its soft vocal, soothing guitar, and rolling beats. And “Jazzy” closes out Jet Set, signaling a cool touchdown and arrival as sax riffs serenade and crisp rhythms vibrate. Another smooth journey from saib. airlines!

.
Apostolos Argyris (The Zuzu Club) – “Sunny and refreshing. Just what we need for the summer.”  
Al Patterson (Vinyl Athletes) – “I love the feel of this record. Very smooth and heavy at the same time.”
