For our summer season party we've rustled together something special for your ears…. Messrs Rob Fahey (aka Alphabet City) and Jeff Daniels earlier this year launched Principal Records. Forged from a love of house music with raw driven arrangement, yet with a core rooted in soul. The initial blue 12" release received much acclaim, particularly Medlar's '86 remix', an elongated acid tinged workout, with mixmag given it a hearty 8/10 and suggesting we "keep an eye on this imp...See more

Squarehead (5andSeven): 19year old Oliver Ledger has had an exceptional past couple of years, achieving more than most producers do in a lifetime, with releases on Manucci's Mistress, 5andSeven and Wolf Music… as well as forthcoming releases on Principal and Waze & Odyssey Street tracks. Even with a prolific string of releases, the quality has remained consistently high, and he's only getting started. Expect lashings of jackin' house, spanking 808 claps, warbling acid rifs, and baselines that wouldn't be out of place in 90's Chi-town.

Principal also bring further support in the the form of Scott 'thatmanmonkz' Moncrieff, one half of production duo S&M from Principals first release, to even up the numbers, and of course we'll have the full compliment of Debonair, Slothboogie, KMG & Timmy from the Tapped stables to join the dots.

Alphabet City - Colder Boogie (Original Version)

Out soon on Traveller Records! 


Live claps, cowbell, got my mate Glenn rocking the Nord and decided to stick a wildstyle sample on top too, tried to go for the 80's boogie vibe, what do you reckon? Would definitely appreciate some criticism on this one as I still might re-arrange some bits, knock the tempo down a bit etc.." (Unmastered etc)

Remix I did for International Feel, available now on limited 180 gram vinyl 12"

Having a crack at Balearic with this one, this is a rough sketch on the arrangement front mind, and I'll be returning to it tomorrow it have another go. Got my pal Ronin on the guitar...

Mtume - So You Wanna Be A Star (BlackLodge Dance Edit) (Free Download)

Something a little different for Lazy Days. Check out this Boogie Monster from Blacklodge feat. vocals by Guests of Nature and Remixes by Fred Everything.

Something a little different for Lazy Days. Following earlier label Disco Boogie releases such as Tortured Soul You Found A Way (LZD-003) and Lovebirds N2Deep (LZD-015), Fred Everything's imprint is proud to introduce you to Blacklodge, featuring Guests Of Nature, with the amazing Lay It On The Line.

Blacklodge is up and coming producer Rob Fahey's nom de plume. Hailing from Brighton, he has enjoyed quite a success and attracted interest with his re-edits on Soundcloud. This is where Lazy Days found him through good friend Aaron Dae, who was sure the San Francisco label was the best home for this unique track.

Vocalist and lyricist Eugene McDonald, aka Guests of Nature, has laid down (pun intended!) in Fred Everything's words "one of the nicest vocal tracks we have had the pleasure of hearing in a while." Also from Brighton, Eugene has had many collaborations in the past, including on the hip Jamie Jones remix of Deniz Kurtel which appeared on Crosstown Rebels.

There was no doubt that label boss Fred Everything wanted to get his hands on the remix, taking a similar approach to his recent Juno-chart-topping disco remixes of Hot Toddy's Down To Love for Om's sub-label Smoke & Mirrors. Fred ups the tempo a little but instead of going the 4/4 route, he uses a laid back, almost freestyle beat over a crisp production. This is House-not-house at its best!

Also included is the bonus track from Blacklodge called "Broken Promises" which shapes up as another late night monster.

Written and Produced by Rob Fahey for Blacklodge
Vocals and Lyrics on Lay It On The Line by Eugene McDonald for Guests Of Nature
Remixes produced by Frédéric Blais for Lazy Days

Early support from Danny Krivit, Mark Farina, Tortured Soul, Nacho Marco, Franck Roger,Lovebirds...
