🇬🇧 DJ Latinchat announces debut EP for french label Le Ciel Records

After a series of mysterious ambient dembow releases on Bandcamp and Soundcloud, Peruvian producer DJ Latinchat joins the roster of Le Ciel Records for its label debut. The EP features three original tracks that explore different characteristics of Latin American dance music, fusing it with elements of ambient, techno and dub.
The EP also features Ecuadorian producer Entrañas, who has been making waves in the last two years and now debuts for Le Ciel Records with a remix of the title track, and label boss Sevenbeatz, who puts a dancehall spin to the second track 'Budian'.

The EP will be available on all digital platforms from 9 June.

Catch My Drift

If "Trax From The Back Of The Sofa" was intended to be an unleashing of the sounds of a Strange Riddims party, Vol II is a parable of the 24 hours from the doors opening, dismantling the dancefloor, and a convoy of taxis to some unfortunate volunteer's house. 

Hewn from the quarry of dubs, edits, bootlegs and originals behind the Strange doors, TFTBOTSVOL2 erratically flits between bombastic club material and candid artefacts of the after-hours sessions over the past 4 years. The compilation expands on its prequel not only in volume and breadth of sound, but also in its pervasion of the personality and atmosphere of the Strange Riddims extended family. 

Special thanks as always to all Strange ravers, the straight thru crew, and anybody outside of Manchester who has shown love, bought a track or two or turned somebody on to what we're doing. Don't be a stranger. 

With Love, 
SR X

Featuring 8 different artists from Mexico to Lithuania, Peru, Portugal, Florida, UK and Belgium, ‘Maloca Vol. 1’ outlines the worldly focus of Le Motel’s new label. 

Launching Maloca Records earlier this year, the label’s ethos is to build bridges interlinking disparate yet like-minded musicians dedicated to blending organic electronic and acoustic elements. The global network of makers highlighted on Maloca Vol.1, the label’s first compilation, confabs a terrestrial and borderless percussive sound that has been bubbling in clubs and Le Motel’s orbit. 

Opening the compilation is esteemed Peruvian duo Dengue Dengue Dengue followed by Lithuania's DJ JM who has previously released on the likes of Nervous Horizon and Goon Club Allstars, Miami artist and NAAFI affiliate Nick León and Lisbon’s DJ N.K. On the second half of the compilation, there are contributions from the label founder himself, Mexico’s Omaar, UK’s Coen and mysterious artist Tsongo. 

Maloca Records has put out three vinyl releases to date from Oakland’s Farsight, Beijing’s Howie Lee and Le Motel. The label is quickly building a reputation for releasing brilliant forward-thinking club records whilst capturing specific international sounds.

Hailing from Paris, duo Amor Satyr & Siu Mata make their debut on NHS with two mutated dance hall inspired cuts laden with manic energy and seriously hard drum work. Following up their debut collaboration on Hiedrah Club de Baile comprised of two tracks focused on the 150bpm range, the pair slow down things to around the 100bpm mark. This has no effect on the frantic energy however, as both releases maintain a level of madness through the double time percussion programming and warped melodic aesthetics; an offering of truly innovative club tracks from these two fine producers.

Rituals, Flore's second album, is now remixed by women at the forefront of the electronic music scene. With this release, Flore continues to weave musical links between the U.K. (the global H.Q. of Bass Music), France, and North Africa. Putting her work in the hands of LCY, Deena Abdelwahed, and Azu Tiwaline results in a warm, organic, rich, intense, and ultimately remarkable E.P., inviting the listener to travel in both space and time.

In her remix of "A Thousand Years" Deena Abdelwahed creates a symbiotic relationship between Darbukas, Amen Breaks, and bass sounds coming straight from the golden era of Drum'n'Bass. The melodic thread spanning the entire track reminds the listener of their core values in an age of never-ending hyper adaptation to change.

CLUB CHAI is a record label, event series and curatorial project founded by 8ULENTINA and Lara Sarkissian (fka FOOZOOL) in Oakland, California. CLUB CHAI centers diasporic artists with the intention of carving out sounds and spaces that consider the ways we build narratives as a reflection of our current and future selves. We believe in the transformative abilities of storytelling through sound and honoring its creation of genres and movements for marginalized people throughout the history of electronic music. Through our label releases and projects we hope to contribute to this archive and history.
CLUB CHAI hosted regular events in Oakland and San Francisco while participating in an international network of artists and collaborators. CLUB CHAI held showcases in New York City and London, and have also presented at Unsound Festival Krakow (2019), Mexico City, Milan, and a UK tour in collaboration with TT label.
