Duktus has made quite a few appearances on the label, but now it's about time to welcome him with his upcoming longplayer called "Funky Reflections Vol. 2" - an excursion into the world of Boogie and Modern Funk which means nuthing but dusty synths, talkboxin' & pop lockin'!
Rounded off by collabos with Helmuth, High Park Funk, Grasime & Mr. VTage, this tape is made for hoodwalks & joyrides.

PREMIERE : Duktus - Make You Feel Good

For our ninth offering we are delighted to welcome Lisbon based artist Larry Quest to the label. Larry is an astute producer adaptable to varying styles, strong in musicality and a particular flair for soulful, jazzy touches and classy deep house music. For the ‘Mystery Herd’ release we are treated to an EP richly inspired by the natural world and the colors within. Venus Girdle enjoys ethereal pads, a strong but distant kick and swelling percussion. Asian butterfly Alpine Black Swallowtail informs the next track, with its mountainous field-recording, gentle arpeggios and harmony of pads. Haliotis reverb swelling pads represent the waves, the synths and percussion, the spume and the bass groove embodying the sea. Nicobarica is a cool organic track with beautifully played keys, live guitar licks and a breezy rhythm section complete with rolling percussion all combining making for an infectious groove. Completing the EP is a spaced out, ambient take of Venus Girdle by Joe Morris!

Club Paradiso - The Black Cat (Vibe Impact Vox Free Edit)

Classic Me has been producing off the radar for over a decade, and it’s with pride that LAN gives the German artist a spotlight for the first time.


‘Cycles’ is an eleven track exploration into the ways classical, house music and its adjacent genres play off one another. Unsurprisingly for an artist with experience playing the violin, the album leads both in tracklist and concept with cinematic strings, which then soar into groovy basslines and slouchy kicks.


Classic Me’s confidence in production is levelled by spontaneity in the recording process (sometimes casually recording from a tablet on the go). Mastered in Paris by engineer Marine Benabou, the result is an interesting balance between play and perfection: though many of the tracks hint at J Dilla or Moodyman with their suggestions of tape loops and sampling, the orchestration uses hyperreal acoustics to bring echoes of Daft Punk, millennial Chemical Brothers and French touch back into the mix. 


It’s this tying together of classical influences with dance music’s more classic elements - hip-hop melodies, deep house vocals, funk basslines and the brightness of disco - which make up the unique sound of Classic Me. Each track turns a different face of the prism toward the listener, weaving an album that is cinematic and wistful without losing sight of its groove.

PREMIERE : Classic Me - Wicked

Omar Santis makes his debut on Karakul with the four track EP ‘A T.D.L.D Joint’.

Karakul is a new label focusing on deeper House cuts from around the world. First up is Chilean born Stockholm dwelling Omar Santis.

Omar first came to our attention through his records on the Woodsmen & Lady Log label, the first of which was a split 12” with Niklas Andersson which he then followed up with his own EP titled simply ‘W&LL003’ a few months later. Two fantastic records featuring his low slung, immersive House production that caught Karakul’s ears immediately.

Omar tells us ‘A T.D.L.D Joint’ is an abbreviation of ‘Ta det lugnt daa’ meaning ‘Take it easy then yeah’ and on this 12” he certainly does, in the best possible way. It’s his most soulful record to date, building upon his detailed signature sound with perfectly placed vocals on ‘Stark Champagne’, melancholic Rhodes on ‘Lulu’s Jam’, tribal percussion and pads on ‘At The Shanzai Hotel’ and finally lowering the pace altogether for the emotional ender ‘Inward’.

PREMIERE : Wardner - Renewal Part 1 (Edit)

Music reviewer John Morrison (The Wire Magazine, Bandcamp) calls FSQ's 2020 album "Reprise Tonight", "a testament to funk’s enduring vitality. A veritable treasure chest of danceable grooves and memorable songs."

The concept album, the brainchild of FSQ's Chuck Da Fonk, tells the story of a person who finds they get one last chance to have the party of a lifetime.

Therefore it only makes sense that there's a 2022 follow up release, "Reprise Reprise Tonight", a remix album, that allows the listener to revisit the theme of second and in this case, third chances.

This set builds on the original tunes which feature an all star cast of disco and funk artists like Fonda Rae, Nona Hendryx, George Clinton & members of Parliament Funkadelic, and Dolette McDonald.

It took 10 plus years for FSQ to refine the originals to the point that music critic Morrison would notice the "Reprise Tonight" for "showcasing FSQ’s gift for upbeat, easy-digestible funk."

On "Reprise Reprise Tonight" you'll hear some remixes that were made early on the process of the original album production. For instance, Soul Clap Records label mate Michael The Lion remixed "Vibe Out Now" and the album title track when he was still known as DJ Apt One, and the FSQ project was called fONKSQUISh - e.g. several years ago. We held on tight to Michael's amazing remixes until the ultimate versions of the original songs were finally set.

FSQ's Sa'd The Hourchild Ali (RIP) shared with disco remix legend Tom Moulton the early work on the album several years ahead of its release. Moulton, loving what he heard, quickly turned in his "A Tom Moulton" mix versions of "Vibe Out Now'' and "The Infinite Reprise". Moulton's mixes could have been easily presented on the original album, yet they finally get their spotlight here on "Reprise Reprise Tonight". The same is true for Dr Rubberfunk's mix of "Dancefloor Democracy'' which was set before the funk tune was reworked by FSQ as an extended tribal house jam for the album's 2020 release. Much of this early instrumental work on the first FSQ album is produced by Grammy nominated producer G Koop, before multi-instrumentalists Chas Bronz and One Era joined the group and added layers of disco sounds.

We're fortunate that we were able to get amazing dance versions by FSQ's Italian friends Birdee and DJ Rocca on "Reprise Reprise Tonight". FSQ are huge fans of Ray Mang's heavily instrumented and often Balearic leaning remix work, and are blessed to have him and Brooklyn based Jitwam turn in cosmic remixes of the title track and "Dancefloor Democracy" respectively.

Sa'd The Hourchild Ali' shared the early works with Tom Moulton who quickly turned in his ‘A Tom Moulton’ mix versions of ‘Vibe Out Now’ and ‘The Infinite Reprise’. And most recently, his brothers in arms Soul Clap Charlie and Lee Curtiss were able to contribute 2022 efforts, adding their high octane remixes of "Peel Back" and "What They Don't Know" to the set.

"Reprise Reprise Tonight" features a new twist on the original album artwork by Parliament-Funkadelic visual artist R Stozo, and including P-Funk tinged characters of the remix producers contributing to the effort.
