We're ready for summer with this new five tracker loaded with Space glitch-house vibes from George John – a keyboard and synth aficionado making his EP debut on the label. While George works the Juno 60 to the limit, we’re sipping a Piña Colada at the poolside. Two remixes complete the package: Munich's finest Rhode & Brown have their eyes squarely set on peak time and Donald Dust’s version smells like Tom Selleck after his daily sunbathe. Coming soon on climate friendly Eco Vinyl.



ʻoiaʻiʻo (Hawaiian) – Truth

Iron is responsible for transporting oxygen in hemoglobin and only generated by type la supernovae. Every time we breath we inhale oxygen produced by natural vegetation and exhale carbon dioxide absorbed by it. The smallest molecules connect us to the biggest dimensions imaginable. And only imagination and the universe are limitless, so let’s breath, connect and create a life-worthy future together. Because One Is All Is One, OIAIO.

Here comes another genre-bending 12" knockout on our 'Cheesy Lover' sublabel: Donnie Moustaki delivers a melange of jazz-infused disco garnished with hip hop and a pinch of house on top. A combination of sampling and synths with the tender voice of Imaginary Friend on the A-side and a wired keys inferno with XCVIII on the B-side. Remixes from Bremen based Warpath & Ranko and Scissorwork from Bristol on top. Rumor has it weed and the spheres of the universe were also involved in making this EP.

The "Weimar EP" from singer/songwriter Albyrd is not only his first release under a new moniker; as his first self-produced record, it also marks one of many new beginnings. The end of the pandemic, the blossoming and withering of relationships - and of course, a tribute to his time in the city and how life's perspectives change.

In 8 songs, Albyrd shows not only the range of his magnificent voice, but also how well soul and RnB can be interwoven with electronic music. With a feature from Miles Bonny, Mr. Lumberjack Soul himself, this tape is definitely one for the shelf.

Let the synths take you away if everything gets too much. We’re going on a little journey to a remote island surrounded by colorful flourishing coral reefs. Before you get there you’ll just have to dive deep into the wavy dark ocean before you reach the coastline. At first this might seem dangerous but the beams of light get more and more visible as you finally dive up. You feel the warmth of the water and you start hearing waves rolling along the coastline. Finally, you reach the warm beaches of an island where everything is that you need. The rich and healthy vegetation and rare species are welcoming you like you lived there your whole life. And after taking your time you feel the strength in yourself rising again, being able to move forward with hope, love and compassion.

Special thanks to Daisy, Jan, Kerim, Lovro, Markus, Martin, Matthias, Thomas & mum.

A1. Spaceship In Tokyo
A2. People Make Me Wanna Scream
A3. My Kyoto Girl
B1. Spaceship In Tokyo (Donald Dust Remix)
B2. People Make Me Wanna Scream (Panthera Krause Remix)

Real Velour's debut EP on Blaq Numbers comes to us from an unknown source in the early eighties. Its playful melodies and disco drum machines could be from mainland Europe, it's strange synth textures could be Japanese whilst its sardonic vocals could be from a post-industrial town in Thatcher's Britain; we just don't know. 

What we do know is that in spite of its retro sound pallete, each track sounds fresh on any 21st century dancefloor. There is something indefinably new about these tracks; similar perhaps to the indefinable "Britishness" of 10cc in spite of their American accents and West Coast influences or the way Billy Childish somehow managed to make rock n roll sound alive again without changing it in any observable way.

Simply put: these are yesterday's sounds, tomorrow.

And who better to hold Real Velour's hand as he tries to navigate this strange retro-future than his two favourite sexy disco daddies, Donald Dust and Panthera Krause? Donald Dust's remagining of the title track on Spaceship In Tokyo puts us in New York territory, rendering it less angular, less Teutonic. There are shades of LCD Soundsystem, the Peech Boys and other artists from the Mutant Disco/No Wave scene whilst Panthera Krause's wild reinterpretation of the single, People Make Me Wanna Scream, is a fruity cocktail of freaky contradictions. Metallic and industrial rhythms blend perfectly with haunting synth pop textures. Panthera Krause finds the ghost in the machine and makes it dance!

The whole EP throbs with uninhibited glee. There is no coyness to be found here toward those genres that sometimes find themselves locked outside the fortress of "serious" dance music. While some techno bros gingerly dabble with Italo, Hi-NRG or J-Pop textures in some restrained, tasteful way as if to say "I like it... but I'm straight!", Real Velour jumps in with both feet. 

This music is elegant without being aloof, playful without being ephemeral and it never abandons its primary objective - to make you dance!

B3. It's All In Your Head
B4. Let The Funk Permeate (Brett Eclectic Remix)
B5. Keep The Funk Alive (WMP Outro)


High Park Funk’s new 'Permeate EP' on Blaq Numbers is the third instalment of tape-based funk from the Scottish funkster known locally as Tesko.

This one has some heavy features. Two of Scotland’s jazz cats, Matt Carmichael on tenor saxophone and Ewan Hastie on slap bass.  Modern Funkateers Brett Eclectic and Duktus both on some silky remixes and a vocal feature from Bay Area rhymer Nico Fasho.

The tape welcomes us in and sends us off with one with a voice note from one of the UK’s longest serving members of the Poppin community, WMP.  With a positive message of rising up and keeping that funk alive.  The tape itself has a concept of letting funk permeate your being.  With the idea spanning from the great George Clinton and the P-Funk family, where funk is more than a genre of a music, it’s an entire philosophy.

For Tesko, the funk is about being rooted and grounded.  It’s an antithesis to the uptight, stiff upper lip society a lot of us navigate through within many cities across the UK and the wider western world.  It’s a reminder that letting loose and letting the funk not only ‘move’ but ‘re-move’, can liberate and recalibrate us right down to a molecular level - bringing right back down to that ancestral level where we all came from.  That ‘One Nation Under Groove’ type deal.

Expect vintage drum machines, synths bass lines, hard slaps, talk boxing and saxophone melodies throughout.  Tesko has pushed the envelope on his musicianship on this one and is certainly not faking the funk here. "Permeate" is a testament to the artistry, resilience, and passion that High Park Funk brings to the global modern funk scene.

With this year's fundraiser compilation, we would like to raise some money for the Bärenherz children's hospice here in Leipzig (www.baerenherz-leipzig.de).
This institution receives no state aid and is therefore dependent on donations.

Once again, many old friends and new faces - local and around the globe - have come together to bridge the gap between Neo-Soul, Hiphop, Synthiepop, Dub, Modern Funk, Breaks, Electro and House.

If you would like to support us, it would mean the world to us: be it a shoutout on your radio show, placement in your DJ charts or simply a short feedback would help us a lot.

The compilation will be released on September, 9th and can be pre-ordered via www.blaqnumbers.bandcamp

Many thanks to you all,
Matthias

Spring has finally landed and we have the perfect soundtrack for those long sunny afternoon in the park. We are glad to present Explorer of the humankind for his first release with us. Starting with 'Starz in her eyes', a gentle track where the Lyon newcomer use his voice as well as real drums for a smooth listening-experience. Following in the same vein but a touch more upbeat is 'Just a tool', a more playful funk-inspired piece. Closing the a-side, 'Share the love' takes the tempo a bit higher and and shifts toward more club-friendly territories, houses goodness.
Turn that disc and get awake for 'I know', a disco-edit piece with trace of french heritage and filter action. Lastly, 'Deep inside' takes us into a gentle profound dreamy state, moving more on the inside than with the feet.

DJ Psychiatre - Introspection EP (BLAQTAPES008)

Release: February, 26th 2020
Format: Cassette & Digital

Blaq Numbers welcomes back DJ Psychiatre for the 8th instalment in its Blaq Tapes series. The French producer’s Introspection EP boasts 5 cuts of modern and melodic Detroit-leaning House with flashes of early Trance and other psychedelia. Big hitters Goddard and Pedr (aka Pierre Moritz) contribute two remixes to the release; the former jumping on the ghostly, soulful breaks of “Sumthin About Luv” while the latter reworks “Falling Endlessly” into a grooving 110bpm roller.

Tom Banks aka Donald Dust joins us for 'Mouth Feel', the latest instalment of our Whyte Numbers 12” series.

I’m Bobby Orlando is a ‘passionate’ tribute to the king of Hi-NRG himself, later remixed by Mood Hut co- founder Local Artist. Bone Structure pairs synth chords influenced by peak 80s Vince Clarke with dry, punchy Chicago House drums and a production nod to I-f’s broken Space Invaders setup. Elsewhere, Banks morphs Lightning Bolt of Love from a stomping, fizzy downtempo House track to a psychedelic journey of discovery, complete with a stoned conversation with himself. Finishing the 12” is a sequel of sorts to 2017’s Skyway Patrol, an intergalactic anthem fit to soundtrack the most intense battle in Space.

PRE-ORDER: blaqnumbers.bandcamp.com/album/explorer-of-the-humankind-where-did-yall-go-remixes-from-byron-the-aquarius-larry-houl

Blaq Numbers welcomes Explorer Of The Humankind back to the stable with his latest work, "Where Did Y’all Go?". Combining lots of handmade drums & machines with hazy synths, he explored a new set of influences while writing and recording from 2018-2019. The four original compositions now find themselves on a brand new 12” backed by remixes from Detroit’s Byron The Aquarius and Larry Houl.

"Where Did Y’all Go?" expands on EOTH's previously established House sound and brings in elements of bedroom pop, with lyrical content exploring the modern conundrum of maintaining relationships in the age of social media. Not much is known about the Lyon native, but his music has built him a keen worldwide following since his debut productions surfaced in 2017.

The EP gets released August, 7th 2020 on digital and 12” format and a week before exclusive on Bandcamp
