Tastemakers: Volume 1 - OUT NOW!

Artist: thatmanmonkz Title: Won Hunnid EP Release Date: 23rd February (Vinyl) / 2nd March 2015 (Digital) Format: 12” Vinyl / Digital Cat No: DOG39 / DOGD39

2014 was a big year for Scott Moncrieff AKA thatmanmonkz. Not only did his own label Shadeleaf become firmly established he dropped brilliantly received releases on both Kolour LTD and here on D.O.G.
Scott has managed to tread that fine line of simultaneously picking up props from all angles and wrecking dancefloors the world over whilst remaining resolutely underground and focused on the more interesting corners of dance music. RA rightly stated that ‘Despite the pivotal part his hometown has played in electronic music history, you can't shake the feeling that if this were the work of some auteur from Detroit, Thatmanmonkz would receive wider recognition from the house community.’ And that is why we love him!
Here on his follow up to last years Don’t Slip EP, he delivers 3 lo-fi, dusty, soul- tinged nuggets which have that unique yet instantly identifiable character only the most talented producers are capable of making. Opener In The Trees featuring the vocals of Kahill Anthony who adds a soulful touch to the raw, bumping groove set up by monkz. The kind of magic track that’ll get lodged in your mind and have the heads clamoring for the info when dropped on a big system. Flip over for Make It Now which treads a more familiar loopy disco path but does so in such fine style that you’ll be coming back to this one time and time again. Finally we have Sad n Blue which drops the deepness with fizzing Detroit padz and killer vox samples giving a nod to the moody one but with a throbbing bassline straight out of the nu school. thatmanmonkz is currently holed up in his studio making tracks for his debut LP which we’re happy to announce will be dropping towards the end of this year here on Delusions.

 I ain't out for nobody. Make me out to be no fool. All the mysteries of life that I've learned. They can't teach you in school...

Oh boy, that came around quick!  One day we’re faxing giant penises to magazines and the next we’ve got kids and are on our 200th single release.  It’s been 22 years since things kicked off with Salt City Orchestra’s The Book and in the intervening years we’ve hopefully carved out our little corner in the pantheon of house music.  We’ve lived by our first “hidden” message on PAP001 “Look Forward Not Back” by keeping on keeping on but this is a chance to buy ourselves a pint.

PAP200 is three tracks from friends new and old that originally came out on a limited edition 12” Record Store Day release.  Crazy P(enis) return to the fold for the first time since 2003 and it’s good to have them back.  Last Knockers has their trademark stripped back electronic funk with Danielle Moore adding the disco fizz. There’s plenty of wonk and roll as it builds over 10 glorious minutes.

When Steve Cobby was asked what Paper meant to him he said “northern musical heritage” and we’ll take that.  He has been knocking it out the park since the early 90s and this is his debut release for the label.  Boule De Suif is a trip through funk and soul that is timeless but of it’s time; it’s what Herbie would sound like if he had grown up in Hull.

Finally Flash Atkins goes down a more conventional route with his trademark layered sound.  What starts as a straight forward deep house track evolves with trippy vocals and a chorus that brings the hairs up on the back of your neck.  Mixmag liked it so much they gave it their Disco Single of the Month.

Last Knockers

Crazy P - Last Knockers [JAMMd] DIGITAL OUT NOW

Taken from 'Kon & The Gang 12" Sampler' available now from the BBE store: https://www.bbemusic.com/downloads/kon-truccy-timeless-closer/

Introducing Kon‘s forthcoming compilation album ‘Kon & The Gang‘, we are delighted to present this 12″ sampler featuring two incredible cuts taken from the LP, as well as an exclusive remix from Kon

Opening track ‘Timeless’ could hardly be more aptly named. Sublime, smokey piano touches on the intro give way to an uplifting, languid disco track, jammed full of sunshine. Catchy vocal snippets, rock solid bass and guitar licks build up the groove beautifully alongside Kon‘s trademark staccato, squelchy synth chord stabs. On the flip-side Kon presents a remix of his own track ‘Timeless’. Highlighting piano loops and synth stabs from the original version, his rework moves the track seamlessly into Deep House territory, with smoothly rolling percussion and a hypnotic arrangement.

Truccy (better known as Compost’s Rainer Trüby and Corrado Bucci) close out proceedings with ‘Closer’, another sun-drenched groove with definite Balearic touches. Jazzy chords and touching vocals (performed by the duo themselves with assistance from Nicolas “Michael Ellis” Rogoll) lend the track a distinctly ‘live’ feel.

A delicious taste of what’s to come from ‘Kon & Gang<‘, this limited 12″ is surely going to be essential listening this summer.

Label: Wavy Recordings
Artist: Nova Black
Format: Digital 
Cat Number: WAVY002
EP Title: Tastemakers: Volume 1
Release Date: March 15th, 2019

As an artist fast becoming synonymous with tight Disco edits and feel good House music, Nova Black presents the 1st release on his newly formed Wavy Recordings packed to the rafters with delicious aural treats. Formed in 2018 he hasn’t just jumped into releasing music, but instead has took his time to find a selection of artists that carry the same passion to deliver well executed House & Disco infused grooves.

The first TASTEMAKER compilation on Wavy Recs comprises of no less than 11 tracks spanning the realms of deep house & disco infused tracks from artists such as Nova Black, Swales, George Feely, Mark Laird, Ros T & More. From the off the VA shines through from tracks such as “Like Jazz” sultry brass work and Balearic feel, to George Feely’s feel good slow burning party groover “Munch n Giggles”.

Although the VA doesn’t lament around the soft and soulful as shown by Swales’ “Your Touch” which brings the feel good piano House vibes in abundance. Tying a nice bow on the whole compilation we have some serious dance work outs such as Ros T’s “Hoo! Hoo!” and Mark Lairds dubby groover “Toyko 2 Berlin”. All in all you have a well rounded VA that has something for everyone, whether it be warm up or peak time burners Wavy Recordings has got you covered.

Quote From Nova Black:
“I founded Wavy Recordings to create a stage for likeminded producer/ djs to showcase their own music and tastes. There’s a lot of labels out there that stick to one niche of house, but I believe a label should constantly aim to surprise and explore all avenues of a genre.

This is exactly what Tastemakers is about, showcasing forward thinking artists, no matter what stage they’re at in their journey. I’m very proud to present this huge lineup of artists and friends that I think are ticking all the boxes right now and confident there is something for everyone on this first VA. 

Alongside the album, we’ll be running a weekly artists spotlight series that will have a guest mix every week from each of the artists involved along with information about their past releases and future movements.

For the rest of the year, we’ll be focusing on developing the A&R side of the label and scouting new under-the-radar talent. We’ve already started confirming the first few artists for Volume 2 in which you can expect nothing other than quality house music, whether it be lo-fi, tech, acid, deep, jazzy or something else. Watch this space.”
