Basti Houseman – First Groove EP

German DJ Basti Houseman, a well-known figure in the local club scene of Hessen, Germany, is stepping into the spotlight as a producer with his long-awaited debut, the First Groove EP. After many years behind the decks, delivering energetic and powerful sets, Basti now presents three dancefloor-ready tracks that perfectly reflect his signature style.

The EP features "Tribal Groove", "Another Groove", and "Dirty Groove" – a journey 
through Tech House, Deep House, and Tribal House. Expect heavy, driving beats, deep basslines, and infectious grooves that bring pure energy and hypnotic vibes to the club.

With the First Groove EP, Basti Houseman makes a strong statement as a producer, 
proving he’s ready to make his mark far beyond the local scene. This debut is just the beginning – and it’s built for the dancefloor.

Rarely does an artist pay homage to the classics like Dimitri From Paris. The Grammy nominated producer, remixer, composer and DJ has made every one of his repertoire of reworks sound effortless; no mean feat when the original tracks are by the likes of Disco’s greatest musicians. He has a long history of remixing classic records, starting in the late 80s and culminating in this achievement of a lifetime, ‘Dimitri From Paris presents Le CHIC Remix’.

This 20-track album features three brand new remixes alongside the much-loved essentials all brilliantly remastered for 2018, tracks that have resonated with artists from Frankie Knuckles to Disclosure, Gilles Peterson to Mark Ronson. Alongside the remixes are instrumentals of each (four of which are previously unreleased), for the ultimate bumper pack. For this project Dimitri was entrusted to use the original studio masters from circa 1978 - 1980 that feature all of the individually recorded musical and vocal elements. The songs have been respectfully remastered, unveiling never-before-heard performances, turning the spotlight on the beautiful orchestrations of one the most unique and highly-revered production duos of the Disco era and beyond; Nile Rodgers & Bernard Edwards, along with their CHIC Organization of musicians.

Kicking off with the unmistakeable CHIC staple ‘Le Freak’, Dimitri’s timeless remix making the exquisite instrumental harmonies shine like only Dimitri can, the album delves next into ‘Lost In Music’ and CHIC’s classic ‘I Want Your Love’. Norma Jean Wright’s life-affirming ‘Saturday’, written by CHIC along with Robert L Cotter in 1978, has been remixed by Dimitri to cinematic proportions, the climax of many of his DJ sets. Sister Sledge’s ‘He’s The Greatest Dancer’ is given the Dimitri treatment with a new extended mix, drawing out the string motifs, showcasing unheard sections from the original master tapes, sounding better than ever. Further exclusives include ‘My Forbidden Lover’ and another Sister Sledge masterpiece, ‘Got To Love Somebody’ with cowbell and horns resplendent. More highlights include a new remaster of Sister Sledge’s evergreen ‘Thinking Of You’ and the final track, an underdog from French chanson singer turned one-time Disco act, Sheila & B. Devotion ‘Your Love Is Good’, a euphoric high to close on and another track using elements from never-heard-before recorded outtakes.

Through Disco grooves and meticulously reverent production, ‘Dimitri From Paris presents Le CHIC Remix’ gets to the heart of why CHIC’s music remains so universally relevant, underlining the enduring cultural significance of dance music in its most unabashed form. This album is a demonstration of how captivating the sound of a full orchestra of musicians can be, compared to today’s largely computer generated offerings, celebrating the eternally endearing qualities of some of CHIC’s best-selling productions, not to mention, for over 40 years, the unquestionable power of a great Disco record.

Codes continues to bring his own twist on house music. This man's DJ sets are just as funky as his tracks, both heavily influenced by jungle, hip hop, and the art of DJing. His releases on Holy Molé, Dirtybird, Night Bass, and Night Service Only are just a peek at what lies ahead for Codes. Recently taken on the role as record label owner/curator of Holy Molé Music. Feeling out each track for quality dopeness before peeling it back to feed the masses. The deliberate intention behind each drop on stage or in the studio, along with the masterful curation of his label are the perfect recipe for another record breaking year for Codes.
