The Berlin-based duo Africaine 808 – comprised of Nomad and Dirk Leyers (half of the Closer Musik project) – have been challenging the norm with their distinctive flavour of West African bass, rhythms and samples mixed into moreish disco and house tracks. It can quite simply be summarised by their "Africaine 808" name.

In early 2016, they bring their feature length debut, Basar, to New York-based imprint and partymaker, Golf Channel – home to Mark E, Juju & Jordash and DJ Nature. Basar's twelve tracks demonstrate how well Africaine 808 have perfected this intercontinental blend, with "Balla Balla" being a standout hands down. No more than a few seconds in, and we're already way, with something tribal lying at the root of its funk. An uplifting, instant crowd-pleaser for any sweaty dancefloor.

Basar is out on 15th January 2016 via Golf Channel Recordings. You can pre-order it here.

Africaine 808 "Balla Balla" - Boiler Room Debuts

Dutch producer / percussionist extraordinaire – Feiertag, releases his second EP – The Rituals the 20th of May on Boogie Angst. 

It’s a fine collection of electronica with flashes of house, nu disco, soul and pop in a thoroughly pleasing aural concoction. With guest vocals from the supremely talented Tessa Rose Jackson and Colin Lee over Feiertag’s crisp productions, it’s a polished, melodic body of work continuing to build on his signature sound he started to establish with ‘High Expectations’. 

Another great record coming out of the Boogie Angst camp that’s nicely chilled but no less danceable. Exactly what you’d expect when Kraak & Smaak are covering A&R duties. 

Opener Sunday Mornings is a relaxed track at ease with the world. Ethereal side chained synths and soulful vocal lines play over a steady analogue groove - it’s the musical equivalent of a weekend stroll through a field in summer. Beautiful. 

Tessa Rose Jackson provides beautifully melodic vocals on The Parachute – an indie electronica tune with pop and soul leanings. Laden with glistening synths and almost sound design like guitar lines. It’s a gorgeous piece that will leave listeners uplifted 

Featuring the soulful vocal talents of Colin Lee, Down To You is a tasteful track combining house and electronica with a less-is-more attitude. Carefully accented with echoed percussive fills - it’s a laid back affair with reverb drenched synth pads subtly evolving around the drum peaks and troughs. 

Body & Soul closes the collection flitting between broken beats and nu disco showcasing the versatility of Feiertag’s drum chops as well as his production skills. It’s a head nodding tune that builds up to an ending of hypnotic layers of tuned percussion lines that leave you wanting more.

Sunday Mornings

Felipe Gordon’s Mosaico Andino is a sound testimony that both challenges and reinvigorates the burgeoning Colombian House Music movement. His statement is built on resonances inspired by other decades, the cold streets of Bogotá and a messy youth. It's not surprising when we hear pianos and classic acid house lines paired with jazz samples and funky basslines. His ability to mix these complex sounds seamlessly into his own club music has made him a renowned and prolific producer.

Felipe Gordon - Mosaico Andino

The city was a beautiful metropolis packed with colour and bright lights. Hotel Jama was at the forefront of cultural society and had become a place in which many came to socialise and watch the world upon a luxurious Friday evening. Drinks flowed and pretty people marched importantly past the glass windows. Inside it was warm and comfortable as she sipped her drink from a long straw... The ceiling was a bubblegum pink and the walls were painted blue, much like the nature of her soul. 

Ichisan is set to release a new assortment of reworks on the prolific Bordello A Parigi record label. A colourful affair with exciting musicality, twists and turns. Oh, and a harpsichord.

Alex Barck releases ‘Re-set’, the first in a series of 12” vinyl only singles leading to his debut solo album ‘Reunion’. As well as heralding Barck’s first solo work, it also features the future album’s first featured guest in Bristol vocalist Pete Josef.

Three more 12" singles will be released throughout the year before ‘Reunion’ drops later in 2013.

Barck and family left Germany last summer for a new home on the idyllic La Reunion Indian Ocean island, which gifts the album its ambiguous title as well as a theme of new beginnings and fusion. It is here where he has been progressively guiding ‘Reunion’ through to completion for the past year.

Alex Barck is a founding member of the renowned DJ and producer collective Jazzanova, one half of the Prommer & Barck project and A&R manager for record label Sonar Kollektiv.
