Montreal duo @TheBlack80s are house legend @hollispmonroe and vocalist @overnitemusic.  They make sultry, sleazy house/electronica for dancefloors and home stereos, a little in the vein of Art Department and AZARI & III. @sonar-kollektiv recently release their debut album 'Heart To Art', and this hypnotic chugger of a remix from @jad-lee is a pearler.

Make Believe Disco is the newest vinyl-only imprint from Guy and Kris, the Dutch and Danish/Canadian duo behind @SleazyBeats. Originally starting as a blog back in early to mid-2009, Sleazy Beats then quickly transitioned into a record label later that same year, with their first release coming from Eddie C. Fast forward eight years and they've gone through two series of ten releases each. The original catalogue was a little bit on the slo-mo/edit tip while the follow-up series and arguably their hottest, the Black Ops series, was geared more toward the dance floor. Their no digital, no repress policy enacted in 2010 has caught them some flack over the years as many fans have struggled to pick up copies. But they've stuck to it, ensuring that limited stays limited while unfortunately fetching some ridiculous prices on the second-hand market.

Guy and Kris' impressive A&R skills paired with some impeccable timing have helped both their label and certain artists blossom. One of those artists is @JunktionMusic aka Hans Peeman, one half of @JustSayFouk and co-founder of @Outplay. A widely popular follow-up to his "Monologues" EP, "The Great Unknown", which was released on the Black Ops imprint, sold out in a matter of a couple of days (if not less than that) and this happened around the time that the hype around both Junktion and Sleazy Beats was conceivably at an all-time high. With this surefire recipe for success, why not repeat the process?

Today we're extremely excited to bring you Peeman's latest and the second release on newly minted Make Believe Disco with the premiere of the A1 and title track "In Blue Forests". Hans manages to evoke his signature sound while breathing some fresh air into this project. The crisp drums we've come to expect are certainly present here with catchy bass guitar licks making regular appearances. However, the aptly titled track brings forth visions of rain forests and tropical climates utilizing afro-latin percussion rhythms and arpeggiated marimba-like instruments, a step away from the funky and more soulful samples we're accustomed to hearing from the Dutchman. Exemplary synth work rounds out this euphonious cocktail, creating tension in all the right moments and taking a back seat to the groove when needed.

Needless to say, this EP will sell like hotcakes so you better get your pre-orders in as soon as possible or risk being disappointed!

The third artist album on Omena is here, “For The Dreamers” by Saine.     For The Dreamers is an effortless blend of crisp beatwork and delicate textures, the album feels equally suited for playing out loud or for those hazy summer night headphone marathons.  In short – a lush and musically rich album.

With 2017 coming to a close, and absolute heat like Fewnolder and Aquecoucou burning up floors and headphones across Europe, rising Parisian producer and label owner Pierre Moritz has a few tricks up his sleeve on the latest release on Copie Blanche; a two-sider featuring local favorites Rochenoire and Armless Kid. Today's feature is the B2 by Armless Kid, Peter Tosh.

An accomplished selector with mixes under his belt for RinseFM and Defected, Armless Kid takes a very effective stab at low swung disco, replete with diva coos, sultry basslines, and a percussive gallop that really locks. The main energy of the track is laid down early by some extended samples of the song's namesake; a member of Bob Marley's original Wailers, Peter Tosh was an accomplished reggae artist and activist. Armless Kid makes clean work of Tosh's gravely tone and jamaican cadence to add real weight to the overall track, helping to showcase and outline some pleasant contrasts between the sentiments expressed vocally and the musical feel by which it is accompanied. Peter Tosh may have spent his years making music at a significantly lower tempo; that being said, with the help of Armless Kid's flawless editing and taste, he might've had a promising career in house.

Most of our readers have probably heard of the anonymous collective known as Apparel Wax. If you can’t recall their name, I know for a fact that you've heard the lead track from the label's phenomenal 2017 debut “001A1” that rose to the top of Juno’s deep house best sellers.

Although the title doesn’t quite roll off the tongue, the song’s opening seconds are one of the most memorable and satisfying moments of dance music we’ve been lucky enough to experience last year. We loved it so much we asked the label’s curator Giuseppe D’Alessandro to do an interview and mix for us a few months back. I suggest you read it to get a better understanding of their history and why the label’s contributors are anonymous. Hint: IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MUSIC!

In their follow-up record, Apparel Wax have once again employed the work of ghost producers to come up with a record simply titled “002.” Similar to the first, this release contains a mixture of four-tracks that fall on different spectrums of the disco-jazz-funk plane - a real taste-tester you can say. We were lucky enough to get our hands on the A1 of the release, and it’s quite the thumper.

Featuring moody vocals and an assortment of looped guitar licks, “002A1” relies heavily on a throbbing bassline to carry the listener and their feet throughout its entirety. However, I would say the real gem of the tune lies within the horns that come in around the 3 minute-mark. Once those bad boys come to the forefront, “002A1” begins to exude a vibe that’s more romantic and care-free than what the yearning vocals signify at its start. Day-time disco enthusiasts and DJs alike are sure to love this track for it’s funky, yet soothing aesthetic.

Francis Harris is a founding member of the Scissor & Thread label - a Brooklyn-based imprint established 2011. Previously releasing under the alias Adultnapper, Harris established Scissor & Thread as an outlet for deeper, more personal sounds, as well as music from a range of associated artists including Black Light Smoke, Bob Moses and Aris Kindt. Harris’ own output has gone from tightly wound tech house bombs as Adultnapper to intricate and expressive musical journeys, and has seen him branch out with a new label - Kingdoms - a home for adventurous music from across the board.

More We Cannot Do is a perfect example of Harri’s feel for depth and dynamics - the track is seeming submerged warm amniotic fluid - cocooned in compression that the listener can get instantly lost in. A think, subby bass provides much of the groove, with skittering percussion on top and luscious fragments of melody. Minor Forms, the EP’s title track is cut from similar cloth - emerging form a subtly distant place to inhabit a melancholic, beautifully evocative space - somewhere between ambient, jazz and the dancefloor. Valentino Mora offers up two exquisite reworks of Minor Forms to complete the EP. Mora, the Berlin based Uruguayan producer, brings his own layer of depth to Harris’s originals - the Underwater Rephrase version adds a propulsive kick and manages to shimmer and shake in subtle, beautiful ways. The Cosmic Trans Rephrase is somehow even deeper - a bubbling bass pulse anchors the track while pads drift in and out, adding to the blissful, meditative whole.

PREMIERE: D'Arabia - Bate Cros. [Red Rooster Records]

Fine are very pleased to present Tales And Reactions, the inaugural long player on the imprint by label co-owner Tilman. Alongside his partner Johannes Albert, the guys have put together an impressive string of releases so far on Fine, focussing on their own material. But this sees them moving into the extended format for the first time and with magnificent results. Tilman has a long track record of putting out deep, excellently produced house music, but on Tales And Reactions he really comes into his own. The album is all about mood and feel, and each track is set up with a rich mix of samples and loose drum grooves to create warm and hazy vibes. The focus is on deep and spacious house cuts, weaving lazy pianos and half heard vocals. There are, however, plenty of dancefloor moments on the LP, with the chunky rhythms and disco strings of “Broken Dreams” or the filtered funk of “Chasing Rainbows”. The result is an album that takes you on a journey through different shades of house music, from a superb producer.

Shite Premiere | Tilman - Prologue In Pictures

'We’re really happy to be announce the debut Freerange release from French multi-instrumentalist, DJ and producer Laroye. Even though he has releases dating back to 2002 (for the excellent Faces label run by Pablo Valentino) it is fair to say Laroye has really hit his stride in the last couple of years, gracing the likes of Visions Inc, Tiff’s Joints and Magic Black with percussion-heavy house jams with warmth and soul. 

Lead cut ‘Be The Change’ is an exceptional track featuring the vocals of Carlos Mena aka Casamena of Ocha Records fame. With a doff of the cap to the grandmasters Ron Trent, Joe Clausell and Louie Vega, ‘Be The Change’ takes a soulful approach with Laroye getting deep on his analogue synths and heavy on the live percussion. The end result is a sublime slice of uplifting house which comes loaded with a positive message and stays true to the roots of the music that we love so much. In addition to the amazing full length original mix, Laroye has treated us to both an instrumental mix as well as a brilliant percapella version which strips things back to the bare bones for a tribal workout that can’t  fail to get your body spinnin’ like a whirling dervish.

Closing the EP we have another original track entitled ‘Twisted’. A no holds barred shuffling groove keeps things bumping along while Laroye gets to work on his modular machines, sculpting and shaping the tones whilst the neck snapping bounce keeps the energy bubbling perfectly. Rocking on an old school tip but with a contemporary twist, this reminds us a little of the Detroit Swindle tracks from a few years ago which is no bad thing.'
