SlothBoogie Records welcomes Deep House maestro DJ Aakmael onto its roster this March with ‘The Hardbody Project’ EP, comprised of four original compositions from the Richmond, US-based artist.

Across the past decade and a half DJ Aakmael has unveiled an impressive back catalogue of soul-drenched, dynamic deep house via revered imprints such as Uzuri, Church, Scissor & Thread, Freerange and Second Hand Records amongst many more. Here we see his latest material perfectly interlace with SlothBoogie Records own impressive back catalogue of bumping house and raw deep cuts.

Leading the release is ‘Hardbody’, laid out across seven minutes with chopped brass samples, bright key sequences, modulating Moogesque resonant leads and shuffled drums before ‘Track 166’ shifts focus over to a deeper aesthetic via dubbed out chord swells, organic percussion and twinkling piano melodies.

The aptly named ‘Deepshyt’ opens the flip side, as the name would suggest employing an amalgamation of deep and entrancing synth work, crisp drums and spoken word vocal chants. ‘Strobe’ then rounds out the release with a more disco-tinged House feel, fusing together funk guitar licks, cinematic strings and a snaking bass groove atop Aakmael’s signature swinging rhythmic feel.

Bengoa returns to his own B2 Recordings this October with a new three-track EP, entitled ‘Idyot’ and featuring collaborations with Kristina Berger and Brothers Vibe.

B2 Recordings rolls out more of its quality-assured deep house here with label head Bengoa returning to the label once more and following recent material on the imprint from the likes of Brawther and UC Beatz amongst others.

Opening the EP is the Kristina Berger collaborative ‘Idyot’, a raw house leaning vibe fuelled by gritty acid bass stabs, ethereal textures and the hazy, hypnotic vocal stylings of Kristina Berger. Following is ‘Meet Me Halfway’ which see Bengoa join forces with the New Jersey House maestro Brothers Vibe, as one would expect from such a pairing the composition is a gritty, percussive journey through bumpy House beats, deep chords and Brothers Vibes trippy spoken word.

The solo cut from Bengoa then rounds out the release, entitled ‘Come On Now’ and taking things a different direction via disco tinged drums, tension building strings and choppy vocals, all underpinned by a squelchy 303 bass line that carries the groove throughout.

lawns

and then
the past
was gone

first one
then two
and soon

something tall
and wide
opened 
a new life
 
my sky
your earth
our lawns

no words
no time
just room

no wheres
no whens
just you

hanging on
with me
and still
we are here

i know
you know
these lawns 
—
after all
we´re through
its still
me and you
after all
we´re wandering
through these lawns
