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!

Livy Lou sure does know what to do. The Vancouver stalwart and moody breaks master has consistently made this whole thing look and sound easy with releases on Total Stasis, Heart To Heart, and most recently her and Void Mirror’s stellar Ciao, Gemini Month release thru Vancouver institution Mood Hut. Lou a.k.a. Regularfantasy isn’t done just yet though. Teaming up with Dublin party and label Pear for her latest offering, Regularfantasy’s Anyways… is a concise yet effective collection of highly pleasurable, expertly emotional breakbeat house cuts that’s a joy to behold. Bolting Bits is pleased to premiere “Plushied (Plush Managements Mix);” a layered lush cut produced in collaboration with fellow Vancouver luminary D. Tiffany.

Regularfantasy tracks frequently exist within a skillful executed emotional malaise but that doesn’t mean Lou’s productions don’t fall firmly on the floor. Opener “Party Girl Theme” insists upon motion; combining a subtle jack twitch with dog bark reminiscent hand claps, cool piano chords, and a squelching synth line that rises and falls with improvisational humanity. By the time the infectiously staccato piano stabs enter the scene, “Party Girl Theme” earns its title with ease. A pleasantly uplifting bit of homemade house that manages to be energizing without being artificial.

On Anyways… Lou manages to infuse the best slivers of indie world emotional aura and dream pop sensuality into an otherwise true-to-form breakbeat production. “MSN,” produced by D. Futers, adds an extremely satisfying vibraphone-esque synth line and some off in the distance female spoken word vocals to an atmospheric take on classic format breakbeat to great effect. The D. Tiffany collaboration “Plushied (Plush Managements Mix)” feels lived in and cozy like a pillow fort. Yet another serotonin tickling stuttering synth line makes way for an extended vocal layered outro reminiscent to the best moments of bands like Mr. Twin Sister all within an undeniably house framework. Effortless and evocative, Anyways… finds Lou firmly in the pocket for all to hear.
