KETAMA is a creative collaboration between Nicola Loporchio and Michele Lamacchia. Today we premiere the second track from their debut EP titled Voyage which is to be released on Italian based label Cosmic Rhythm. Cosmic Rhythm state the four-track record was created, " [...] while breathing a tropical breeze in Italy."

"Dreamscapes" is the title of the track we have the pleasure of sharing. The track is Balearic house at its finest. It is a soundscape, which illustrates a warm hazy tropical scene. Warm synths and dreamy high-pitched tones ring away and emanate bird song, the bass line plucks away and percussion drives throughout and lays the groove, so much groove.

As is common in Balearic house music a stringed guitar plays melodies which further the romance and chilled out feel of the track.

This is track would not sound out of place on a dance floor thanks to the energy of the drums and the build-up of space and delay between sections. However, it may be best placed on a long scenic drive in the summer, or perhaps whilst lying on a beach. Wherever you choose to listen it will bring a glimpse of sun and sea and perhaps a memory of a happier and warmer time.

The record is set to be released on 29 January 2019.

PREMIERE: KETAMA - Dreamscape

Hidden under the veil of anonymity for years, Grant - now known to be Anthony Collins, half of Brooklyn’s revered Frank & Tony and co-founder of Scissor & Thread - has been a game changer in the lo-fi house scene. Pairing classic sounds from Detroit & Chicago house with complex textures and deep soundscapes, he’s created a powerful signature sound of his own. Having put out 6 impressive records under the wing of the Lobster Theremin family and his self-titled Grant offshoot, his partnership with head lobster Jimmy Asquith continues as he marks the second release on Asquith’s new label SITU Records.

Today’s premiere is the A2 off this new venture, titled “Dash”. Things heat up as a moody bassline and 909 beat strut along in good Chicago fashion. As the track breaks down, pads ebb and flow, shimmering, plucky synths breeze in, distant strings echo, and a stuttering vocal emerges. The combination of elements prove effective as they all combine to make the perfect slow-burning groover, perfect for eyes-closed dancing in the morning hours.

Across the Long Game EP, Grant offers up 4 cuts of moody oldschool house, taking us on a journey through the deeper end of things. Though never straying too far from his roots, Grant manages to sound fresh as ever, always bringing new energy to the table. Another buy on sight release from a masterful producer.

Today’s premiere is from the galactic journeyman and cosmic healer E Davd. Davd has been honing his distinctly blissful and euphoric brand of house over the past couple years, most notably with releases on renowned labels Natural Sciences and X Kalay. Stepping up for Blaq Numbers this time around, E Davd has delivered yet another beautiful galactic excursion through the cosmos on his track “Solstice.”

Solstice begins with icy synth arpeggios that shimmer the reflecting winter sunlight. As the meditative synth line progresses, dubby splashes of filtered pads begin to lift the track into orbit. The cozy and contemplative intro gives way to a rollicking bassline that gives the track some thump. The funky bass chugs along in the mix driving the tune, while beautifully crafted synths flutter and glisten along the top end of the mix. It is a track to get lost in. One where you can feel your feet planted and your mind floating. The future is exciting for the young producer, and we look forward to what else is in store from him. Solstice is a strong addition from an ever compelling catalog from Blaq Numbers.

WHYTENUMBERS006 is out February 8 and can be pre-ordered here.

We are excited for today's premiere, coming from Crackazat, the British producer who is based in Sweden. He enchants us with his magical jazzy house sound on his new release 'Magic Touch'. The album includes eight reworked tracks from the Swedish house label 'Local Talk'.

Real name Ben Jacobs, Crackazat is known for a groovy jazz-house fusion sound. Through his early influences of jazz, he developed his sensual feelings for rhythm and swing. This impact quickly gave him the motivation to pick up a guitar and bass to start producing all kinds of music on his own, whether it be in the style of hip hop, jazz or funk. His debut, the release of the synth-funk and downtempo "Explanation" EP in 2012 and then shortly after, the release of a dive into club music named "Tunnel" EP, attracted the attention of DJs all over the world and were global breakthroughs. His relocation in the same year to the Swedish city of Uppsala allowed him to connect with the Swedish house label 'Local Talk' on which he is now releasing the 'Magic Touch' album.

The album includes soulful reworks of names like 'HNNY', 'Terrence Parker', and 'DJ Spinna's' track 'Tie It Up' which is also our Bolting Bits premiere today. A flicking snare on an easy beat with equal light claps, followed by a groovy synth-chord combine to form a super light and joyful mood. This full-time groover is the second track on the oh so soulful and jazzy 'Local Talk' rework album and it awoke a high interest in us to continue listening to the whole album, which is incidentally a very nice piece of music.

The Bolting Bits team can highly recommend getting a copy of the 'Magic Touch' album and we're proud to present Crackazat's new release. We are also glad to support him on his way and are going to be excited to listen to more of Jakob's inspiring jazz fusion sound in the future. In the meantime, be sure to grab your record or digital release.

Ben Gomori, label head of Monologues Records and Stern Edits, might be one of the busiest men in the industry today. When he's not providing us with the freshest dance music through his two labels, Ben can be seen spending his "leisurely" time hosting podcasts, radio shows, and video series like Turned On, Monologues and RecordReplay. If that wasn't enough, Ben puts on club night fundraisers for Help Refugees and the highly esteemed album listening sessions Pitchblack Playback. We honestly do not know where the man finds the time, but he does.

Given his absurd work rate, we were not surprised to learn back in July that Ben Gomori also produces under the previously anonymous moniker G. Markus. Mr. Gomori's reasoning for starting the project was "[...] to make deeper, freakier, trackier stuff than I was known for under my own name. It was a breath of fresh air starting from a blank canvas and sending music to labels anonymously with no preconceptions, having no social media and so on."

Whether he's releasing music under his own name or G. Markus, one can argue that Ben has a knack for making edits that rivals any of his contemporaries today. And this unique skill is on full display throughout his latest track titled "Red E," in which he takes on an 80's classic. Using the infectious vocal sample as a centerpiece, Ben chooses to pair it with an equally catchy assortment of lively piano house melodies and cheeky synths that are reminiscent of greats like Kerri Chandler.

A surefire way to start any party, DJs and producers alike would be negligent by not adding this chune to their collection. "Red E" along with "Cum Thru" are out today! Get your copy now!

A7 Edits is back with its second installment from JD Twitch. Following in the fashion of the first record by Stefano Ritteri, Volume 2 offers two edits alongside their sought after original counterparts from Africa Seven favourites' M'Bamina and Tala AM. "Arabica" was the lead track on Tala Andre Marie's 1978 album on Fiesta records. This was the Cameroonian's 5th studio album in a number of years and was already well on his way to cementing himself as part of the Cameroonian hot shots of his time. Proper foot stomping Afro Disco at it's finest really. 

Artist: Tala AM

Justin Jay and crew are sailing around the world and back for the debut of Fantastic Wax, a new vinyl-only offshoot of Fantastic Voyage. For the inaugural release, they've tapped international man of music Romain FX.

Following up his Tasty Edits EP on Fantastic Voyage last December, the Hong Kong-based DJ, party promoter, and radio host has reworked four hard-to-find African cuts in hopes of giving them a second life. Informed by over a decade of experience playing DJ sets across the globe, all four tracks have been edited and remixed to fit nicely into your rotation.

On deck for our premiere is Gambian Neptune, a track that sails strongly from the onset with a moody melody, spaced out drums and an epic vocal. Arranged (or perhaps rearranged) for maximum effect, RFX navigates us past the intro into a variety of catchy riffs and breakdowns while regularly returning to the vocal hook that ties the song together.

True to the label's founding principles of friendship, fun, and freedom, Fantastic Wax 001 is an exciting dive into music unknown that's set to make waves in the crowded sea of vinyl edits. Check out all four tracks when the record ships August 26th.

Bobby Analog has become one of the most pivotal figures in Belfast’s thriving electronic music scene in recent years. A prolific DJ, producer, promoter and Body Fusion label founder, has gone from strength to strength since relocating to the Northern Irish capital at the age of 18, becoming known for his sets of radiant, percussive house music and slick productions.

He is back today with another 4 track EP full of the kinda house music you have come to expect from him. Proto Chicago house and Italian house meets a more ambiant poly synth sound on these tracks.

British producer Aroop Roy (@aroop-roy) has arranged an official remaster and reissue of prolific Congolese talent Sammy Massamba's two tracks 'Azali' and 'Birika' on his own Vive La Musique imprint.

Ahead of the EP's release on August 19, Aroop Roy has handed over his edit of the lead single 'Azali' to Mixmag for a premiere. Taking the sweltering afrobeat epic and giving it a modern-club touch, Roy's extended rework of this feel-good West African staple is as infectious as they come.

Sol Power Sound adds to a string of hot 2019 releases with the Special Features EP by the Sol Power All-Stars, featuring remixes by DJ Spinna and LA's Caserta.
The lead track, Don't You Let Go, features the project's centerpiece, DC-based vocalist Kenny Wesley. His agile tenor swoops and dances over a soulful, multi-layered, dubby excursion. An accomplished songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist, Wesley's career has significant milestones in the jazz, pop, and progressive soul worlds. We're excited for him to step into the dance music lane with us.
We asked DJ Spinna (one of our musical heroes… but isn't he everyone's?) for a Galactic Soul treatment and he delivered inna signature Spinna style, that’ll make you b-line to the dancefloor.  
Caserta took it classic NYC (with a lil UKG) on his Caserta's At Work flip. Let the record work through the build, the gospel-esque break down, and then open up into a piano and vibes solo. Patience is a virtue, especially with a peak time slapper like this.
If there is such a thing as a keyboard battle track, Number One Station is it. It features New Orleans-based synth wizard Daniel Meinecke over a broken afrobeat-inspired track, letting all his axes get busy. Trust us, you don't want to step to him (that's also Daniel you hear on Don't You Let Go).

PREMIERE: CONGA FM - SELVA DE LOS SUENOS

After a much-needed break, we're back with an EP from one of the most under-appreciated producers in the scene! Hailing from Spain and currently residing in Barcelona, Dactilar has released a wealth of productions that really get the dance floor going; including a remix he did for us last year.

This EP really shows off the talents of multi-faceted Spanish producer. Filled with warm, lush and balanced sounds, with sparkly melodies and deep basslines, it will surely conquer even the most discriminating listener! A remix by fellow Barcelonian Pablo Bolivar takes an interesting, head-bobbing twist, while the Russian duo Gorje Hewek & Izhevski churn out a fairy-tale like atmosphere-laden tune, showing off the magic that has earned them huge support by everyone from Luciano to Guy J, Oxia and Gorge!

Embarking on a new direction, this is the first in a series of releases that explore the subtler side of dance music. Not content with run of the mill material that seems to be all the rage these days, we seek out the rare and the magical, resulting in our sporadic release schedule. Look for more genre-defying music from us later in the year!

Tracklisting:

01. Dactilar - Day One (Original Mix)
02. Dactilar - Aerophohic (Original Mix)
03. Dactilar - Digitial Cortex (Original Mix)
04. Dactilar - Digital Cortex (Pablo Bolivar Recut)
05. Dactilar - Aerophonic (Gorje Hewek & Izhevski Remix)

Dactilar - Aerophonic (Gorje Hewek & Izhevski Remix)

Multi-faceted Canadian artist James Teej drops his second LP, ‘Eight Bit Ocean’, late-April on Sasha’s Last Night On Earth imprint.

Releasing his first James Teej singles in 2008, Teej has since become a firm fixture on the electronic music circuit with releases for We Play House, Rebirth, Supernature and No.19 Music as well as a debut LP on Radio Slave’s Rekids in 2010 entitled ‘Evening Harvest’. Since then, Teej has joined old friends Jared Simms and Voytek Korab to become one third of My Favorite Robot, an act which is steadily becoming another of Toronto’s break-outs via tracks and remixes for Visionquest and Crosstown Rebels as well as their own highly regarded My Favorite Robot Records.

Vocalist, producer, DJ, live act, A&R and collaborator - Teej is a genuine electronic music polymath and, as such, his material is imbued with a real sense of craftsmanship where every detail has its true place and meaning. It’s this meticulous DIY attitude to every aspect of his art that bleeds through ‘Eight Bit Ocean’ – nine tracks which see Teej focused on delivering a wide range of moods, tones and textures that while all centered around dancefloor rhythms, deliver much more than ‘tracky’ club tunes.

From the brooding opener, ‘A Civil Duty’, dense shifting melodies are one of the reoccurring themes of ‘Eight Bit Ocean’. Never intent on staying with one mood within one track or throughout the whole LP, Teej lets tones fall and rise throughout with melancholic aspects giving way to rousing keys (‘The Last Request’) and fluttering leads offsetting ponderous basslines (‘Liking Your Disorder’).

Sometimes it’s what is left out that really hits home on ‘Eight Bit Ocean’ – tracks like ‘Right At Home’ and ‘Stand’ use just enough vocals to humanise them without taking away the instrumental punch while the arp-driven, robust electro of ‘Reunion’ employs only as much kick as it needs. This less is more attitude is only applied to arrangements and sound choices as musically Teej runs riot, walking the line between old and new perfectly by imbibing each track with genuine subtle, emotive transitions and contrasts.

Like many classic house albums, ‘Eight Bit Ocean’ is the sound of an artist, a handful of synths, drum machines and a mic exploring musical possibilities and, as a result, makes for an enthralling listen as well as a hefty cache of dancefloor material. Timeless sounding stuff…
