If everything suddenly changed – what would that be like? German house producer Qnete aka Marvin Uhde has been quite active in the past couple of years, with numerous EPs released on Drowned Records, ZCKR and Lobster Theremin. He's at it again with "If Everything Suddenly Changed", his new delivery on Wake Up! Records. According to the press release, all tracks were recorded "within a short period of time" and "straight to tape, raw and improvised", which is something you can definitely hear throughout the EP. The title track featured here is a good example of it, with its warm analog sound, organic synths, and crisp electronic percussion. House music at its best, need!

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.

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!

G-Edits #6

PREMIERE: G. Markus - Red E

With mind-bending hypnotism tools for the floor, this is some top notch deep techno. Coming from Chicago-based producer Brian Labycz, who has been a long-standing regular in the Chi-town smartbar crew. Having been a go-to man for final track mixes of many producers across the city and the midwest, Labycz makes his debut release with pure heat.

PREMIERE: Richard Holhburn - Say Something Stupid [Tram Planet Records]

For their 2nd release, the not for profit Sinchi Music will be donating all proceeds to their Sinchi Foundation which supports indigenous peoples’ rights and the preservation of their culture and knowledge. Here they feature a trio of duos, with an original single from newcomers BarumBarum and remixes from acclaimed artists Khidja and SHMLSS. Andreja Salpe and Filip Polski hail from Macedonia and have worked together as BarumBarum since 2017. They create music which is heavily influenced by different cultures and formed with synths, guitars, bass guitar, tamboura, harmonica and more to create their unique sound. Their brilliantly original single ‘Ritual’ is a broody bit of rumbling dark disco with eerie guitar licks ringing out through the rumbling drums. It’s filled with analogue textures and is the sort of rugged cut to really standout in a set. Romanian duo Khidja have released on a host of major international labels including DFA, Hivern and Especial amongst others. They bring plenty of warped bass and heavy, chugging drums to their remix, which is spacious and absorbing throughout. Finally, long time Sinchi friends SHMLSS who run the Amsterdam XXX label, expertly rework the original with mechanical grooves that are stomping and stark, with metallic hits and gothic vocals, permeating through this most industrial disco groover. Sinchi Music continues to make a real mark with this latest excellent EP.

"There is no better way to celebrate our third year since the first Maleza party than presenting this hard-hitting EP by our big friend Gabriel Ferreira. When the synthesizer sounds the portal is turned on and the trip takes us from several decades ago until you know your imagination. The only requirements are to leave the footwear aside and turn up the volume. 'Retro Mind' includes three original stomping tracks ready for weird dancefloors and one old-school breakbeat gem"

SOLIDE kicks off their new Various Artists series with a bang. 

The first Volume of their Solid(e) State series will be out May 24th, 2019. 

Things on Solide have gradually been broadening and progressing. The release catalogue of the core members has been shaping up. At the same time, bonds have been made, synergies with other artists have been coming to life. The circle is opening up and increasing. So it's no surprise that the newest addition to the label's catalogue is a Various Artists EP, submitted by close fellows of the imprint. 

For starters, we have 'Munich's finest' Rhode & Brown. Known through their own Slam City Jams and several releases on Toy Tronics and Public Possession, the duo once again showscases why we love them so much. Without sounding cheesy for just a single second "Sendling Sidewalks", accomplishes to play through the whole spectrum of emotiveness with its thick bassline and it's tender strings. 

Next up in the tracklist is Running Back's own Shan with "Sequence". In contrary to the other two songs of this release, his contribution goes harder, faster, stronger. 80ies electro vibes and tension building arpeggio arrangements. This jam might come as a surprise after his last releases, but a surprise of the most positive sort, that is. 

Rounding things off are Cosmo & Kramer from Konstanz. Getting their moniker from "Seinfeld" already speaks for them as trustworthy people, but their understanding of emotive Housemusic should no less be opening ears and hearts in all respects. "Last Government" comes as a sun warmed tune, arranged with an obvious appreciation for things deep and soulful, starring an arpeggio ride that finds his way through various filter journeys.

James Shinra's whirlwind year is rounded off with some final words via Craigie Knowes. Shinra's 'Darkroom EP' features his signature style of Techno and Electro across 4 varied cuts with a bit of a darker twist. Aphex-style chords, choppy breaks, emotional rises, gritty kicks and acid flowing throughout - it's got it all. A final chapter of a busy year for both artist and label, with a fairly sinister, wintery, feel.
