minimal house

Effortlessly smooth number by @Nachtbraker, whose beautifully simple Rhodes piano and live drum samples emanate real depth on what is a classic downtempo house sound.

Out on @HuddTraxx on 23rd Feb.

It’s not often that a breakthrough producer manages to cause major hype after just one release but when that artist is from the UK, putting out a brilliant EP on Moodymann’s Mahogani Music, you start to realize how it happened in Dan Shake’s case. Now it’s time for Dan to build on this incredible start and from the way things are looking it’s safe to say it’s all going in the right direction. Another rising star from the UK is Wolf Music regular Medlar who has been making serious waves the last 5 years. Remixes for the likes of Glenn Astro and Disclosure have all helped put him in the spotlight and his debut LP Sleep from 2013 delivered in spades. So when the news that these two were joining forces for a collaborative project reached us here at D.O.G we wanted in on the action.
The lead track entitled Walk has all the hallmarks of a long-lost Detroit house classic but with a UK touch that adds just the right amount of polish to the dusty MPC beats and phasing rhodes chord. Soulphiction adds a slightly deeper edge on his remix but keeps the vocals in place and pushes the beats in an altogether housier direction. Finally we have I On You completing the EP in fine style with a more soul-tinged track but keeping the groove and bassline positively roughed up ensuring things stay raw and underground.

While Berlin obviously isn't defined by dark rooms and brutalist 4/4, it's still heartening to receive a fresh package from Germany's cultural capital that falls outside of techno's cold grip. The parcel in question is new from the Splendor & Squalor lads (Brame and Hamo) – a pair originally hailing from Ireland, but now taking firm root in Berlin.

Hamo's EP 'The Cotton Club' is the label's second out the traps, after a weighty first from the duo with remix chops from Session Victim. It's music you can gladly file next to Max Graef, Glenn Astro and their crew's brand of house(-not-house). Vinyl crackle and sighing Rhodes lines abound, all beefed up with low-slung kicks and crafty sampling. Our pick of the litter is the silk-smooth title track: a wonderfully deep house jam with a hip-hop soul. Push play and glide.

Hamo "The Cotton Club" - Boiler Room Debuts

Money $ex Records is back with more plunder. Onto their fourth drop this year, the tearaway imprint helmed by Max Graef, Glenn Astro and OYE Records' Delfonic is developing into a neat family scrapbook. After special projects from themselves and friends like IMYRMIND and Hodini, MS004 introduces a new character into the fold. The dynamic debutante in focus is Alex Seidel, a 19 y/o speedball who we've been excited to showcase properly on BR since our surprise meeting with him at last month's Tartelet showcase in Copenhagen.

His five-tracker fits neatly along the grain of Graef and Glenn's world: warm and wandering house music cut together with swung kicks, clever sampling and an utter gorge of groove. "Boogie Down Sessions" might be most unique going though: a paranoid club jam cut through with ratatatat snares, twitchy bleeps and gateaux-rich chords. Snappy, rhythmic and wonderfully deep. 

Grip the whole thing on October 5th.

Believe it or not but Uncanny Valley looks back on five years of releasing records this summer. There was a bit of discussion on how to celebrate this occasion properly. Instead of just turning into the typical Greatest hits-routine the label heads Albrecht, Carl, Conrad and Philipp decided to look back and forth. So, besides a record with completely new material there will be a record that unleashes four tracks from the vaults of these five years. As you can imagine, there are lots of tracks that are good too but doesn’t fit on the record in question because of the whole record’s atmosphere or just because there’s not enough space on the vinyl. But it would be a shame if those tunes stay unreleased forever. So, here’s “Uncanny Valley: Five Years On Parole - gems from the vaults”!

Flabaire - Morning Lights (STW Premiere)

Following a pair of EPs as Lodger for Stamp Records, Sheffield's Alex Buchan has switched aliases for his next release.

The Slender EP contains three tracks under his Al Zanders persona, including the centrepiece 'I Don't Want To Judge You' – a scuffed up, dreamy and bongo-adorned house cut that recalls Leon Vynehall's fresh-yet-nostalgic vibe.

Look out for the EP in October on Phonica Records sublabel Karakul: http://www.phonicarecords.com/product/al-zanders-slender-ep-karakul/133390

Al Zanders – I Don't Want You To Judge

An early welcoming warm-up service to the dancefloor patrons just coming in from the cold outside. Female vocal sample cuts above the bouncy Rhodes melody which is held up by the lower-mid sweeps. And would it be Chaos In The CBD without a bit of trumpet?

Chaos In The CBD - Similar Stories (STW Premiere)

Pre order: www.redeyerecords.co.uk/vinyl/68938-c…f-time-travel

After a successful summer of Church White releases gathering support from Session Victim, Move D, Galcher Lustwerk and a host of others, Church returns with it’s next offering from Peckham via Auckland brothers Chaos In The CBD. 

Fresh off the back of the Juno number one seller EP 'Midnight In Peckham' on Rhythm Section, they delve into deeper territory with emotive title track ‘Constraints Of Time Travel’. The B-side is a more familiar affair with trademark swingy percussion and expert use of samples providing that deep warm house sound we’ve come to expect from the pair.

Shakarchi & Stranéus - Mogadishu (Axel Boman Dubb)

'Awaken' feels like greeting an old friend, swinging in on a dusty hi-hat and an inviting piano progression with bright synth riffs glimmering in the distance. Reminiscent of Leon Vynehall's approach to laid back house, this one is made for the dancefloor or duvet.

Kemback - Awaken (STW Premiere)

Bipolar Nature offers a trip aboard the intergalactic whirlitzer; a saturated dream of space dolphins leaping through shimmering rings of stars; a floating vision of gentle undulating eternity, waves of light and magic easing past your pineal gland, readying you for the eventual shuffle of the ceremonial beat. It's music for moon children and bright eyed dreamers and it's making this dour Wednesday afternoon seem more like an endless sunlit Sunday, for which alone , Ishi Vu, we salute you.
Bipolar Nature is the closing track from Green is the Color of Love, Ishi Vu's debut EP for the Stolkholm based Omena label - it's released on record on November 30th, and you can keep track of Omeni over here.

PREMIERE: ishi vu - Bipolar Nature - Omena Records.

‘Plant Your Feet’ sees the young Swede in in Afrocentric mode, designing a frantically shuffling beat sourced from all sorts of clicks, bells and whistles. Something that would sit comfortably in a Talabot or Romare mix.
