I'm in love all my time & the space listening this one...

let's go

PREMIERE: Laurence Guy - Les Mur

The Munich based duo Coeo are the stars of our fourteenth release. Florian Vietz and Andreas Hopfl have presented us with three original tracks with nice and special character. Closer EP is definitely a landmark release for us at Lagaffe Tales which challenges us to follow up with this new standard in the following future. The title track Closer is the star of the release. What stands out if the great percussion work and hauntingly beautiful vocal sample, whispering into our ears. As if the original track was not enough, we were lucky to get one of our biggest influences; Lay-Far to remix the track. The remix takes the percussion work to the next level and still staying true to the original mix. Lay-Far does not disappoint and makes sure that we connect memories we hold dear to the track. Mind Games is a beautiful piece with a tight baseline and enchanting piano atmosphere.  The duo bring to the table another beautiful piano sampling piece in the third track Timid Dancer. The whole EP has encouraged us to work harder and to grow in the right direction as a label.

Round Trip

We're big fans of the Cold Tonic crew and they blew the roof off last time they joined us in the shop for an in-store session with label heads Krystal Klear and Maurice Alexander playing alongside Gerd Janson and Philip Laurer. Since their first release we've been strong supporters of their imprint and but their newest release really caught our attention since it features a brand new signing on the flip. "Nothing But A Freak" marks Sandboards musical debut and we can't get enough of it! The emotional House cut combines rattling drums and melancholic chords to comfortably sit underneath a spoken word monologue about the one thing that keeps us moving... We're very excited to see what this the New Zealand duo comes up with next! Keep an eye on these two, we have the feeling they'll be coming up quick! in the meantime, reserve a copy of of their new split release with Krystal Klear ahead of the official release at the end of the month.

Phonica Premieres: Sandboards - Nothing But A Freak [COLD TONIC]

Chaos In The CBD's Ben & Louis Helliker-Hales team up with long-time friend and collaborator Jon Sable to present their new imprint ‘In Dust We Trust.’

In Dust We Trust is an ode to a collection of friends who share a certain understanding, who live by a love and respect for the people around them. That friend who saves that last puff for you, that friend who will share their drink with you when you can't afford your own, that friend who will learn how to drive a car on the spot because you're too drunk to make it home.

Kicking things off with a release from Chaos In The CBD, ‘Accidental Meetings’ is a record that celebrates this way of living. The four cuts effortlessly move you through a journey of delicate textures and atmospheres. It begins with the late night basement sounds of the title track, then sends you through the spacious and meditative ‘North Pole Cafe.’ The wild rhythms of ‘United Identities’ hypnotise you, until you find yourself spat out by the energetic grooves of ‘Distorted Fields.’

Play it in the club, play it in the hotbox, or play it for your mum, this record is filled with soulful, rhythmically complex, melancholic music that is unmistakably dusty.

Shoreline is a groovy dance-track inspired by jazz and funk. Quite satisfied with the flow and feel. It features one of my favourite sounds, the rhodes piano, accompanied with a funky bass line and some field recordings from a nearby beach. Hope you like it!

With 2017 coming to a close, and absolute heat like Fewnolder and Aquecoucou burning up floors and headphones across Europe, rising Parisian producer and label owner Pierre Moritz has a few tricks up his sleeve on the latest release on Copie Blanche; a two-sider featuring local favorites Rochenoire and Armless Kid. Today's feature is the B2 by Armless Kid, Peter Tosh.

An accomplished selector with mixes under his belt for RinseFM and Defected, Armless Kid takes a very effective stab at low swung disco, replete with diva coos, sultry basslines, and a percussive gallop that really locks. The main energy of the track is laid down early by some extended samples of the song's namesake; a member of Bob Marley's original Wailers, Peter Tosh was an accomplished reggae artist and activist. Armless Kid makes clean work of Tosh's gravely tone and jamaican cadence to add real weight to the overall track, helping to showcase and outline some pleasant contrasts between the sentiments expressed vocally and the musical feel by which it is accompanied. Peter Tosh may have spent his years making music at a significantly lower tempo; that being said, with the help of Armless Kid's flawless editing and taste, he might've had a promising career in house.

Most of our readers have probably heard of the anonymous collective known as Apparel Wax. If you can’t recall their name, I know for a fact that you've heard the lead track from the label's phenomenal 2017 debut “001A1” that rose to the top of Juno’s deep house best sellers.

Although the title doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, the song’s opening seconds are one of the most memorable and satisfying moments of dance music we’ve been lucky enough to experience last year. We loved it so much we asked the label’s curator Giuseppe D’Alessandro to do an interview and mix for us a few months back. I suggest you read it to get a better understanding of their history and why the label’s contributors are anonymous. Hint: IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC!

In their follow-up record, Apparel Wax have once again employed the work of ghost producers to come up with a record simply titled “002.” Similar to the first, this release contains a mixture of four-tracks that fall on different spectrums of the disco-jazz-funk plane - a real taste-tester you can say. We were lucky enough to get our hands on the A1 of the release, and it’s quite the thumper.

Featuring moody vocals and an assortment of looped guitar licks, “002A1” relies heavily on a throbbing bassline to carry the listener and their feet throughout its entirety. However, I would say the real gem of the tune lies within the horns that come in around the 3 minute-mark. Once those bad boys come to the forefront, “002A1” begins to exude a vibe that’s more romantic and care-free than what the yearning vocals signify at its start. Day-time disco enthusiasts and DJs alike are sure to love this track for it’s funky, yet soothing aesthetic.

Francis Harris is a founding member of the Scissor & Thread label - a Brooklyn-based imprint established 2011. Previously releasing under the alias Adultnapper, Harris established Scissor & Thread as an outlet for deeper, more personal sounds, as well as music from a range of associated artists including Black Light Smoke, Bob Moses and Aris Kindt. Harris’ own output has gone from tightly wound tech house bombs as Adultnapper to intricate and expressive musical journeys, and has seen him branch out with a new label - Kingdoms - a home for adventurous music from across the board.

More We Cannot Do is a perfect example of Harri’s feel for depth and dynamics - the track is seeming submerged warm amniotic fluid - cocooned in compression that the listener can get instantly lost in. A think, subby bass provides much of the groove, with skittering percussion on top and luscious fragments of melody. Minor Forms, the EP’s title track is cut from similar cloth - emerging form a subtly distant place to inhabit a melancholic, beautifully evocative space - somewhere between ambient, jazz and the dancefloor. Valentino Mora offers up two exquisite reworks of Minor Forms to complete the EP. Mora, the Berlin based Uruguayan producer, brings his own layer of depth to Harris’s originals - the Underwater Rephrase version adds a propulsive kick and manages to shimmer and shake in subtle, beautiful ways. The Cosmic Trans Rephrase is somehow even deeper - a bubbling bass pulse anchors the track while pads drift in and out, adding to the blissful, meditative whole.
