Sudi Wachspress returns to Tartelet Records with Dance Planet, a third LP of emotionally-charged house music to welcome us back to the dancefloor.

The spirit of true house runs deep in the sound of Space Ghost. Oakland native Sudi Wachspress is intuitively plugged into the romantic, mystical energy of 4/4 club music as a unifying force of empowerment and liberation, carrying the torch from vital forebears like Larry Heard, Alton Miller, and Blaze. 

His new album, Dance Planet, carries a greater responsibility to spread spiritual affirmations. As the global dancefloor community emerges from a mentally-taxing recess and confronts their social self like it’s the first day of school, Space Ghost’s message couldn’t be more supportive. 

“Don’t be afraid to be yourself, don’t be afraid to let go,” he intones on “Be Yourself.” More than just a beat and a hook, his music is pointedly created to heal and energize. 

“I’m a big fan of old-school house vocals that have a positive message,” says Space Ghost, “tracks that can perhaps enhance your mood or strengthen your confidence in yourself.”

Wachspress has always represented a beacon of musical uplift, both on his previous Endless Light and Aquarium Nightclub LPs for Tartelet and on his swathes of self-released music and last year’s Free 2 B on Apron. Compared to most house-oriented artists, he places emphasis on the long-player format to create an encircling experience for the listener, smoothing out psychic wrinkles and massaging areas of tension for a fully holistic hit.  

“On this record, I had a lot of different ideas forming and melding into one, from house, downtempo, and hip hop to old video game soundtracks,” he says. “During the pandemic, I began discovering the music of both Soichi Terada and Toyin Agbetu. I really wanted to make an uplifting record with all sorts of sounds, some clear dance tracks and some a bit slower and more trippy.”

On Dance Planet, there’s certainly space for illustrious reflection in the more ambient corners – in the lush, swooping vistas of “Afterglow,” the trippy chill-out breaks of “Dream Weaver,” or even the low-slung 90s RnB funk of “UFO.” But these changes of pace feel utterly natural alongside the more forthright cuts like “Back To The Source” and “Soul Shower.” Such is the sweet, soporific mood of the album.

“Emotional Healer,” a fulsome, bass-y track with sun-baked piano chords and Wachspress’ whispered vocal intonations will precede the LP’s release alongside “Be Yourself (Motivational Mix),” which shows off the artist’s slow and seductive side. Riding low and smooth with sumptuous Moog-esque low end, it features plush FM keys and more of that lyrical affirmation Space Ghost does so well. 

In addition, a limited-edition bundle with a bonus 7’ features “Deep” and “Tuff World.” It’s a natural, perfectly formed continuation of everything Wachspress has been doing up to now. Yet never has Space Ghost felt so timely, so essential, as we work out how to heal ourselves and move.

The LP comes in three versions:
Classic Edition
140g black vinyl 

Limited Colour

Jamie 3:26 & Danou P - Rug Burn

Brussels-based producer, multi-instrumentalist and DJ Kuna Maze announces his debut album ‘Night Shift’ - a concept record built around the journey into the night - with new track “I Told U”; featuring legend in the scene and creative polymath Steve Spacek, who adds his ghostly vocals to the lead single. 

“I Told U” is a deep, dark and dreamy track that uses syncopated drums, heavy bass lines and floating vocals accentuated via dub FX. London-born but now based in Sydney, Australia, Steve White is a pioneer of electronic soul music; from his earliest incarnations in Stex in the early 90s to the present day as Steve Spacek, he has pushed boundaries with aesthetics and technology. He has released music with the most forward-thinking labels across the musical spectrum – SPA, Eglo, Ninja Tune, Warp, K7, Island Universal, Black Focus and Exit Records. “He’s a real legend and a massive influence for me and my work; it’s a real honour to have him on the LP”, Kuna Maze adds.

Label boss @Nachtbraker is finally making his solo debut on Quartet Series after a successful EP last year on Heist Recordings. Widely known for exploring different sounds and angles with his productions, this record is the most club-orientated to date. Intricate ghetto house with a slight French touch to straight up 4x4 with a pinch of jacking flavour would be an accurate description of this release. The use of 90’s hip hop samples within this auditory concoction successfully highlights Nachtbraker’s excellent ear for detail and penchant for exciting, eclectic and downright weird changeovers.

The main hitter taking over the full A side is the title track “Small Towel People”. An uplifting bass line accompanied by heated 909 percussion and a hypnotic thriving arp to seal the deal. On the flipside, you’ll find “Kippendijen” on the B1. A heavyweight in the house category, some glimpses of early days jacking house and a little French touch on the filter. Throw in a breakdown even Houdini wouldn’t be able to handle and you’ll find yourself putting this track on repeat. Then when the needle hits the B2 groove, “Zomaar” kicks off with an energetic mpc style breakbeat before morphing into a deep jam of lush chords and a thrusting 4x4 beat. The track closes after switching back to the first part of the record and ends in a sublimely deep and dubby breakbeat.
Nachtbraker will be keeping you comfortably awake with this spicy record. Enjoy!
