SOUNDS OF 180G - JUIN 2019 by Oï Tomkin & Brice Mitchell

Jazzanova - Another New Day (Stereolab Remix)

Fertile Ground - Take Me Higher (Waiwan Remix)

Broken beat’s legacy is one that’s easy to miss if not given ample TLC. Just a quick bat of the eyelids, and one of the capital’s most exciting movements can flash by. A movement that inadvertently nudged soul and boogie through the early 2000s in its own way. A movement that fed on the best parts of jazz, soul and electronica and left a lot of goodness in its wake.

The producers behind 2000black are some of its main powerhouses. Established in 1998 by Dego, the likes of multi-instrumentalist Kaidi Tatham and musical director Akwasi are key ambassadors of the sound.

After a 2014 that spawned beauties like Darkest Pumpkin‘s “Let It Be/That Feeling” and March’s Lordamercy they’re back. They resurface with three new tracks – each of which are strong nominees for Debuts. “Make It Hard” was the office shoo-in. The type of track to instantly make heads knock back and forth like nodding Churchill dog playthings. Jovial polyrhythms galore, the allure of soothing rhodes and all bundled on top of a slick bass underbelly.

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!

Al Zanders' latest offering on his own A-Z imprint comes in the form of a four-track track split release entitled 'Love Sensations', which he shares with up and coming British producer JVXTA. Our pick for the premiere is the string-heavy disco-house smasher ‘Strings II’.

It’s time for some Dirt Crew action. This time the Berlin label showcase French artist S3A who is no stranger to Bolting Bits or to the world of electronic music production. With experience comes expertise, S3A has been producing for over 15 years and has released on the likes of Quartet Series, Lazare Hoche records, Concrete Music and Local Talk. He cut his teeth with a residence at Rex Club, Paris’s oldest and longest running club, before jumping ship to a regular slot at the three tier riverside club Concrete.

Today we have the pleasure of premiering the third track from the release titled Greed. The eleven track special is due out very soon in all good record stores. Greed is a smooth soulful number, coloured with vibey keys, loose but snappy drum breaks, shuffling hi-hats and to top it off some funk bass. It is very easy to get lost when making sample based music. You can choose a sample from any piece of audio that has ever been recorded and printed to wax or made available online. Samples can be taken from any era and from whichever corner of the plant you desire. The key aspect of sample based music is maintaining a unique sound. This is a key driver in S3As music and you can hear individuality all of this record.

It’s always special to be part of a record label’s birth, so we’re stoked to welcome London label Dance Regular to our catalogue of premieres with the B1 – For You Around Me by Trev – from their first record. 
James Rudie and EVM128 have started the label, which they say will orbit around styles like House, Bruk, Soul, Jazz, Boogie, Half Time, Jungle, Ragga, and more. Multiple records are already set for release in 2019, but the first, which includes our premiere track, will be up for grabs from 7th June. 

Body Music Vol 1 is its name – a six-track, various artist EP. From the dark wobbly bass of the opening track by Xtra Brux, to the light and playful melodies on the B2 by Szajna, the musical diversity here is striking. 

For You Around Me is an intelligent, jazz-house fusion whose intensity undulates in parallel with ethereal strings. It features a 50/50 mix of 4x4 and more breakbeat, syncopated drums. Layered keys, including a quintessential jazz sound in a Rhodes keyboard, lull us into the onset of strings and drums, each escalating until the bass kicks in shortly after the minute-mark and the track takes off. 

Overall, it’s six-minutes of intriguing rhythms soaked, in a measured way, with melodies that move back and forth between flowing moodiness in House form and lighter, more glitchy jazz.

We don't know what's going on this year, but there seems to be an increase in the number of label bosses releasing their first LPs on their record labels. Having covered German producer Kapote's debut on Toy Tonics last week, his fellow countrymen M.ono is now gearing up for his own. For those who do not know, M.ono runs the label Rose Records out of Leipzig alongside his partner Luvless. Having spent the past decade putting out music that has earned the support of big names like Move-D, Moomin, Wolf Music, and DJ Koze, M.ono has decided to put together an anthology if you will - a collection of twelve tunes he's produced since 2008 titled "Spritti Moments."

One of the tunes from the release that we're sharing with you today is called "Bye Bye Butterfly." Fans of M.ono's recent work will be pleasantly surprised by this original since it doesn't necessarily resemble the disco or funk that he's come out with the past few years. Instead, this song is quite somber in mood and features a collection of breakbeats and looped samples that give off more of a future garage vibe than the house music he's generally known for. This variety in sound speaks to the many genres that inspired M.ono in his early musical career, and this LP illustrates that journey step by step. 

If you're interested in following M.ono this trek down memory lane, pre-order your copy of "Spritti Moments." It comes out May 24th.

This is ostensibly a post in promotion of a hot new release. The record in question is from Berlin-via-Australia house veteran Jad & The (formerly of the problematic moniker Jad & The Ladyboy). It comes via reliable London wax purveyor SlothBoogie, and is, from top-to-bottom, a well-crafted collection of moody deep house fit for early summer sessions on the Spree. 

But the track in question here, in particular, is the release’s A2 remix, courtesy of Istanbul’s Aleksandir. And if you don’t remember that name, now would be a good time to take note.

Operating within the somewhat niche, online-oriented sector of club music that we follow, Aleksandir has been releasing music for a few years, but really hit new heights in 2018 on the strength of his track “Yamaha”. Simply put: the thing was a straightaway hit. The Youtube page accrued 4 million hits, and, like Pepe Braddock’s “Deep Burnt” before it, the video is now integrated into your “Up Next” stream pretty much any time you click on any video related to modern dance music. 

That success has landed Aleksandir plays on BBC, and accrued him an online following that includes over 60,000 monthly listeners on Spotify. 

Because you are probably friends with him on Facebook and have possibly talked with him a bit, you might be inclined to seeing his success as quaint or as just the well-deserved applause that can accompany a well-timed release (a fluke, really, you might tell yourself). 

True, there is certainly a measure of fortune involved with achieving status in an industry as online-oriented as this one; in an industry where algorithms and playlist supervisors can lucrative booking schedules; in an industry where trends happen in a nanosecond, whereafter they are summarily critiqued, admonished, and meme’d. 

But we should make no mistake: out of all the young producers cranking away on their laptops at 3am every night, from Tbilsi to Tokyo and back, Aleksandir might in time rise above the lot of them. He might just achieve a rare and indelible status in the world of so-called underground music: that of being remembered.

A 20+ year veteran of Chicago’s thriving house scene, Vick Lavender needs no introduction. His music has been heard by many and played on dancefloors across the world, either under his real name or one of his other aliases. One of the most notable perhaps is a group he’s a part of that you may have heard of called Strictly Jaz Unit. Releasing on a number of labels throughout the years, perhaps most notably on his own Sophisticado Recordings, he’s a master of deep, soulful and emotional house music. Today we are extremely excited to present Vick’s newest release forthcoming on ANMA Records entitled The Nature EP. 

Our premiere today is the A1 “Negro Es Hermano”. It’s a 14 minute long, hypnotizing piece that fuses jazz, funk, soul and of course house music. Organs, rhythm guitars and keys are more present in the first half of the track. It continually evolves though and we see the second half explode into a more modern jazzy medley of synth work with bigger pads, strings and muted, filtered moogy lines. We won’t dive much deeper than that and let you explore this journey all on your own.
