February 2018

Howdy! Can you feel it?! Spring is just around the corner! It finally got close to 80 degrees here in Austin, TX for the first time in months. We saw about 2 hours of sun and that got everyone in the city excited for the turn of the season. Apparently they remember little of the constant 100 degree plus days that make up the majority of the summer. At any rate, now that we've thawed out enough to type, we're continuing the warming trend with a litany of stellar disco and funk selections. Enjoy!

WATEVA - My Love 2 U (feat. Emily J)

You will no doubt have spotted Marcel Vogel's handiwork steering the good ship Lumberjacks In Hell, or perhaps even his choice edits under the Em Vee banner, but increasingly the Dutch artist is turning to his own name to get some fine records laid down outside the realms of pure edit territory. This second outing on Intimate Friends comes on like a mini-album of sorts, with eight tracks made up of remixes as well as originals. It's a powerful step on for Vogel, touching on a grounded variation on neo-soul with a house kick in the rhythm department. Soulful vocal spots from Mey, Milos Gersi, Gianni Tam, Khadija and Tim Jules all add to the sensation, heading away from the dancefloor as an expansive EP for all time.

Missing Channel (Robert Hood & Claude Young) - Onslaught (FJAAK Remix)

Claptone announces new album 'Fantast' and releases first album single 'In The Night: http://smarturl.it/claptone-inthenight

Claptone is a very unique proposition in modern music. Painted as a mythical character shrouded in mystery, Claptone has become one of the biggest names in electronic music whilst himself remaining in the shadows. He has however constantly saught to deepen his own distinctive world, creating a rich tapestry which tells the Claptone story.

In his second artist album ‘Fantast’, the Claptone universe is at it’s deepest and most vivid. He is the master of his domain and in his most artful offering yet, the assured 13 tracks of Fantast come together to create an album full of varied colours and atmospheric textures. 

So Claptone seeks not to create a world of secrecy, but one of great depth and intrigue. As one of the businest touring DJs and most prificfic producers around, Claptone is constantly unveiling more about the world he draws inspirstion from.  

An enigma with a tirless desire for creativity and thirst for new music, Claptone has brought together a diverse group of collaborators such as Boc Party’s Kele Okereke, Blaenavon, Tender, Jones, Zola Blood, Austra’s Katie Stelmanis, The Boxer Rebellion’s Nathan Nicholson, Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Matt Simons  

The first single In The Night features the vocals of Ben Duffy, which paired with Claptone’s insistent and upbeat production, makes for an exquistley executed electronic pop gem. It marks an engaging opening snapshot for what will be a milestone in his already glittering career. 







We caught a glimpse of his ambition to produce a body of work in Claptone’s debut artist album Charmer which has scored over 60million streams and counting, but it’s in Fantast that Claptone really delves deeper into the art of songwirting. 

2018 will see another intense year of touring with Claptone presenting his immersive Masquerade event experience at bigger venues and festivals having built momentum over the last 18 months hosting events at Tomorrowland, Melt Festival, Elrow at Amnesia Ibiza, Green Valley Brazil, Melbourne St Kilda and more.

NFC & Key Sokur - Coming From The Congo

One of the most instantly recognisable voices of the last 25 years, Kathy Brown's hits are up there in the house music hall of fame, 'Strings Of Life' with Soul Central and 'Turn Me Out' with Praxis being all-time classic tracks. Kathy has a long and prolific history with Defected, who first released 'You Give Good Love' in 2002. This jumping new mix from DnA Studios appears on the upcoming 'Glitterbox - Love Injection' album compiled by Simon Dunmore. Fulfilling Glitterbox's ethos for celebrating timeless musical moments, the compilation includes respectful nods to the golden-era voices like Kathy's, this disco standard being one of the clear highlights.

Special Request - Brainstorm (Gerd Janson & Shan House Mix)

On the latest Lumberjacks missive Marcel Vogel invites one of the strongest house vocalists of modern times, Khalil Anthony, to lend his distinctive croon to a loose-limbed slice of low-riding funk. "Dance The Blues Away" is a gutsy, full-bodied production that shows off Vogel's instrumental skills at their strongest, and Anthony's vocal rolls on in the many-layered mix perfectly. BB Boogie injects a little disco stomp to the track for the first remix on the 12", while Julien Dyne gets to turn out a remix and a dub. Both Dyne's efforts tap into a Detroit house feeling, all dusty sample loops and a laid back, smoky mood. It's a record made up of killer soul-soaked house music from start to finish.
