My 2019 Playback

г๏ςкє¥.4○B-1□

There is a lot of fun to be found in this release. First comes the cover art, a cartoon banana. If that doesn't say fun then we don't know what does? Then there is the name of the label, Banoffee Pies Records: we have a sweet tooth here at Ransom Note so that is just fine by us. 

PREMIERE: Wendel Sield - History of Black People

Here's the WOLF Music release to coincide with Record Store day. It's that man Medlar delivering the goods. The A side, Body Action has been causing quite a stir since it was included in Medlar's excellent Solid Steel mix last year. With it's recognisable vocal hook and piano line, it stood out amongst the high calibre of records included.

On the flip Aya Chan is a brand new cut but channels Medlar's love for classic 80's labels such as West End & Prelude.

Hand stamped vinyl only release with promo feedback form included.

Put it on the wants list!

Young Leipzig talent Kolja Gerstenberg makes his debut on Monologues with three raw cuts following releases on Quintessentials, SUOL and Smile For A While (including a remix by Move D), plus a remix for Cassius. 'Erdball' is a chugging, stomping slice of woozy house, 'Muffsound' sees his background as a drummer shine through in its choice of breakbeats with an array of sampled textures creating the vibe, while 'Herber 660' flips between the deepest house and slo-mo trap-tinged beats. G. Markus reworks 'Muffsound' in chunkier, acid/rave-tinged style on his G-Mix.

Release Date: Vinyl - Feb 23 / Digital - March 9

London-based Quintessentials continues to chug along. After their 10 year anniversary and impressive 60th release, they've already gone on to release two more EPs with the third one on the way now. Stepping up to the plate this time is NY*AK. The Newcastle-based hardware guru already has an impressive resume of releases under his belt on labels such as Local Talk, Phonica's Karakul and Ninja Tune's Techinicolour imprints. The Vice EP on Quintessentials is another strong outing, featuring everything from sultry vocals on the A1 'After the Sun' to deep and raw Detroit grooves on the title track 'Vice'.

PREMIERE: NY*AK - Onions Ft. Mark Hand

Azali (remastered) [Vive La Musique]

For his debut on Taste Rec. Jack Bags delivers a huge collection of tracks, exploring different genres by playing only hardware synths and drum machines. 

The title "Get together" reflects his approach to music and the need of contact in music but also in life and the importance of being connected with different people.

Golden hour is a Fisco Funk gem which represents his love for black music, followed by the more House-oriented Raw Cuts. The melodic shift of Yard's lights is clearly inspired by the UK sonorities that reflect his love for Warp/Relfex's records.

Finally the mighty SofaTalk completes the imaginary painted by the artist, with a mad Acid Jazz version of Golden Hour.

PREMIERE : Jack Bags - Golden Hour

Cottam shot to notoriety in 2009 with three limited edition 12”s that blew up the underground deep house and nu-disco scenes with no advertising and no info – combining neo-soul, afrobeat and hip hop with slo-mo house grooves all three sold out in double quick time and ended up in many ‘best of 2009’ charts. 
Since then, Cottam has concentrated on developing his own style of sub-aquatic acid house – remixes for Luv Jam on Phonica’s label, Pattern Select on Delusions of Grandeur and Morning Factory on 20:20 Vision offshoot Fina have complemented original tracks on Quintessentials, Wolf Music, German undercover label Story and the summer anthem ‘Sunrise Sunset’. The journey continues with his most accomplished tracks yet on the Deep Deep Down EP for Aus Music and a remix for Geoff Leopard on Endless Flight due out early 2012. He hasn’t completely given up the re-works either with Cottam 4 seeing Plantlife get the treatment and there is even a Cliff Richard remix doing the rounds! Cottam is biding his time with much more music to come next year (when his toddler starts nursery) and he can devote more time to production.
A burgeoning career behind the decks has seen Cottam DJ around the world from London & Ibiza super clubs to the dirtiest basements of Berlin and Manchester. A studio mix recording can never match the off the cuff ideas and crowd interaction of a live set, that can take in anything from Balearic disco edits to rough techno slowed down to a sexy shuffling tempo, classic house to euphoric disco all mixed with a skill, grace and swagger, topped off with a trademark cap.
