Back on Crosstown Rebels after the barnstorming ‘Heartbreaker’ EP at the end of last year, Bloc Party frontman Kele Okereke once again shows he’s a dancer at heart and a truly versatile beat maker. Kicking off with another killer A-side ‘Candy Flip’, Kele builds an infectious track as he works a dirty low bassline with his own deep gravelly vocals. ‘The New Feel’ follows on with dark bass stabs making way for a bouncing groove, haunting chords, and filtered vox with an anthemic feel. FCL’s remix treatment gives a classic, uplifting dimension to ‘Candy Flip’ while final original ‘Come To Me’ is a master class in raw, bass heavy grooves with a modern touch and fresh vocals from Jenny Bastet.

From the propulsive rhythm sections of Bloc Party’s Platinum-selling debut album ‘Silent Alarm’ to guest vocals for artists like The Chemical Brothers, dance music has always been the underlying influence for Kele Okereke. Having spent ten years making records in studios working with some of the greatest producers in the world, Kele is now launching his solo assault on house music and leaving a distinctive mark in the process on new home label Crosstown Rebels.

With the ‘Heartbreaker EP’ gaining critical acclaim across the board and ‘Candy Flip’ about to win over yet more dancefloors, Kele’s new sound is no flash in the pan. There are more EPs in the pipeline for Crosstown as well as DJ dates all over the world, so watch this space.

FCL is the Belgian powerhouse production duo comprised of Red D, owner of We Play House, and young DJ/producer extraordinaire San Soda. Both individually and together they have had a major impact on dance music in the last few years, notably with their ubiquitous version of E.S.P’s ‘It’s You’ - a sell-out vinyl on We Play House reaching cult status and later seeing a digital release on Defected due to popular demand.

Over the past couple of years the North East has been central to UK house music production with the likes of Richy Ahmed, Patrick Topping, Denney, Mark Jenkyns and Cristoph (@cristophmusic) all descending from the region. Following a successful spring touring the best clubs in Europe, we are very excited to welcome back the latter with his new EP on VIVa MUSiC.

Within two years Cristoph has quickly ascended through the ranks of House and Techno to become one of rising stars in the scene. Having already had tracks released on labels such as Knee Deep In Sound, DFTD (Defected), Truesoul and Noir Music, the future is bright for this talented producer.

His previous releases have flirted with Tech House, Deep House and Techno highlighting Christoph’s skill and productive diversity, and Divvina is no different. The title track infuses hard hitting Techno-style bass with subtle, yet uplifting, House melodies and has the potential of becoming a summer classic on the White Isle.

Cristoph has garnered support from all corners of the scene, including from heavyweights Jamie Jones, Seth Troxler, Hot Since 82, Adam Beyer, Pete Tong and Steve Lawler.

On September 2nd Techno mainstays Pig&Dan are set to release a special EP entitled ‘Modular Baptism (Remixes)’ via their own imprint, ELEVATE, which will soon celebrate its milestone 50th release.

This exclusive remix package features four stunning reworks of ‘Growler’ and ‘The Saint (Job San)’, the lead tracks taken from the duo’s acclaimed fourth album, ‘Modular Baptism’ which was released earlier this year. 

‘Modular Baptism’ was a record that further solidified Pig&Dan’s status as one of the most exciting Techno acts in the business, with the album claiming the #1 spot on Beatport and singles such as ‘Growler’ reaching the top spot in Beatport’s Techno chart and #2 overall.

Kicking off proceedings are two alluring reinterpretation of the duo’s aforementioned banger ‘Growler’. The first comes from Spanish DJ/producer Alberto Ruiz, who fuses the original’s deep resounding synth-riff with warped industrial sounding effects, and the second from rising London-based Brazilian-born talent Vinicius Honorio, who ventures down an even darker route with fierce distorted synths crashing against the more melodic moments of the track to great effect.

Following on are two excellent re-rubs of ‘The Saint (Job San)’. The first comes from revered NY based DJ/producer Boris, who turns the melodic masterpiece into a sharp, dark Techno roller featuring a relentless array of synth stabs. The second remix comes from French-born Geneva-based underground king Lee Van Dowski, who provides a euphoric sounding framework by bringing the original’s piano chords to the front of the mix and introducing squelching synths towards the end of the 8-minute number to further fuel the climatic finish.

‘Modular Baptism (Remixes)’ is available exclusively via Beatport on September 2nd and everywhere else two weeks later.

What's Up Desert Hearts Family,

Hailing from our hometown in Southern California, we're very proud to welcome San Diego native Sly Turner to the label. We're extremely proud to release his debut EP on the label because Sly has been sending us tracks for years, and slowly but surely we saw his productions progress into some world class house music. The Mellow High EP is deep, it's housey, and it fits perfectly on our Desert Hearts dance floor. 

For all you producers constantly grinding out there, Sly Turner is a testament to the hard work paying off. Welcome to the label buddy, you earned it. 

House, Techno, and Love.
We Are All Desert Hearts.

Les Hommes by Simone Liberali, taken from the 'Material ADE Sampler 2016'. Out via 'Material. Support & buy: http://www.traxsource.com/title/71030...

Simone Liberali - Les Hommes

A-side ‘Tone Music’ builds with a melodic structure of electronic droplets as rattling percussion does the driving. A n injection of techno wonk stabs blended with pitched down RnB sampling, ‘Tone Music’ is a sonic patchwork of futuristic beams and bleeps, synth shards, and shakers.
Moving into crackling, dubby terrain, ‘Lo To Hi’ is a spooky affair with solid claps and a nifty little bassline groove. As warped vocal snippets float into the atmosphere, the swirling pads serve to envelop the senses and build a sense of tension and drama up to the break.
In keeping with the slower vein and bathed in warm, ethereal pads, ‘Doldrums’ builds with distorted synth melodies and chopped up vox until the rise of drums, and unexpected drop of heavy bassline throb along with subtle twists of acid swerve into the mix.

The next release on LIZ EDWARDS – SWAG CLASSIC LABEL is from LEN LEWIS. Len needs no introduction as he was one of the true originators of the early Tech-House sound. Releasing many classics on labels like SWAG – POODLE and his own imprint JOMO. The two cuts featured on this release are – DARK CAVERN. Which originally came out on Poodle Records in 2002, and was recorded upstairs at SWAG records, in the SWAG studio, and was a firm favourite of DJ MATTHEW B. It was also bit of an anthem at all those early London parties and clubs, Like THE END – WIGGLE & KERFUFFLE. The next cut is BAR-B-QUES & BALLGAMES. This came out on SWAG RECORDS in 1999 and was one of Len’s first releases. Both of these tunes, together, would set you back about £60 on Discog’s for a mint copy, but here we have them both on one 12’ - both re-mastered and sounding better than ever. Only 300 pressed so don’t sleep on this.
