Back with a bang and brandishing four deep house cuts, London upstart label Five Fold Records welcomes the adroit Dokta Venom to the fold. Returning to his love of dirty twisted deep house, having grown up listening to Mr.Fingers, Frankie Knuckles and Moodyman, the Burnt Roses EP is drenched in the gritty soul influence of the Detroit & Chicago house movements.

Only U opens up proceedings with a straight up house cut laden with slinky soul pad sweeps atop a deep pulsating sub bass line kept correct by the upfront kick which drives this beautifully arranged sensual vocal track. 

Burnt Roses builds through catchy orchestral strings drifting along a punchy break beat inspired rhythm, deep and luscious, scattered with deftly intricate arrangements morphing throughout this big beat stomper of a track. 

Rum Vapour’s house organ infused melodies are matched by ethereal vocal samples that, set to a swinging four the floor backbone and skippy high hats, impart a garage house vibe. 

In conclusion and wearing its influences proudly on the sleeve, Space Dust pays homage to the legendary Brazilian trio Azymuth with a killer slap bass and meandering Rhodes chords set to a loose rhythm rich with shuffling congas, shakers and hand claps. 

The Dokta (aka Daniel Maunick, the son of Jean-Paul 'Bluey' Maunick of Incognito fame) first emerged from the nascent drum & bass scene of the early 90's recording his first track, a collaboration with the legendary Shy-FX, at just 15 years of age. Working extensively as part of Incognito for many years, Daniel all the while continued to develop as a studio producer & audio engineer with an extensive catalogue of releases behind him. Spanning genres and tempos with productions honed under aliases known throughout the broken beat and drum & bass scenes of the turn of the millennium, releases on labels like Talkin' Loud & Chronic Recordings underlined his studio dexterity. Now, after years DJ'ing on pirate radio and terrestrial stations like BBC 1Xtra while tending to his residency as one of Far Out Recordings main producers of Brazilian music for artists from Sabrina Malheiros to Azymuth and Marcos Valle, the Burnt Roses EP reconnects a truly talented producer with a genre that he can only describe as a labour of love.

Dokta Venom has collaborated as producer, remixer or engineer with…
Incognito, Amp Fiddler, Faithless, Shy-FX & T-Power, Maysa, Stamina MC, Marcos Valle, Azymuth, Sabrina Malheiros, Paul Weller, Terry Callier, Killa Kela, Hempolics, Brenda Russell, Omar, Jocelyn Brown, Gilles Peterson, Para:Diso & Ski Oakenful amongst many many others!

A timeless deep house track with a powerful message, Manchild (In The Promise Land) is a brand new creation from two of Chicago House music’s true architects, Ron Trent & Lono Brazil.

Getting his start as a DJ in the mid 80s while still a teenager, Ron Trent quickly turned his hand to production, studying percussion and keyboards; skills which define his distinctive, melodic compositions to this day. Founding Prescription Records with Chez Damier in ’93 and sister label Balance soon after, he helped introduce talents such as Moodymann, Pevan Everett and Luke Solomon to a global audience. Ron Trent’s career has gone from strength to strength over the last three decades, DJing all over the globe while continuing to push boundaries with his productions and remixes.

Mentored by none other than Frankie Knuckles and a close associate of the great Ron Hardy, Lono Brazil’s musical roots touch the very foundations of House Music. A true cultural ambassador, over the years Lono has produced shows with legendary artist Keith Haring, worked as an executive for Capitol/EMI and helped kick-start the recent disco revival from a small dive bar in Chicago’s North side, not to mention walking the runways of New York, Milan, London and Tokyo as a high fashion model.

Afro-centric house in its purest form, Manchild (In The Promised Land) is characterised by Lono Brazil’s golden voice and original spoken word poetry which paints a moving picture of urban deprivation and stolen childhood. Subtle synth chords shimmer behind the jazz influenced bass-line and warm percussion that seems to play ‘call and response’ with the vocal.

Fresh from appearing on Boiler Room Tokyo back in April, talented and in-demand Japanese husband and wife duo ‘Dazzle Drums’ provide a deep and tribal dub version of ‘Manchild’, steadily building up a compelling drum groove before taking flight into synth-heaven.
