nice tune! gives me that bittersweet feeling i'm dancing by the beach on a sunday afternoon in the last hours of a festival

In the house

Heron | The Wave
[SOMA402]

1. The Wave
2. Convolution

Heron returns to Soma for his 3rd solo release as he follows up the retro-esq Foolish Solina & Sorna Bay with a much more stripped back and thumping affair for his latest EP, The Wave. 

The Wave clatters in, kicking this EP of with a bang and a wildly intense kick drum sets the tone right form the outset. Piercing percussion strides along side wailing synths, guttural pad sweeps and trippy vocal cuts. Heron has really aimed for the dance floor with this jacked up techno offering and hits the bullseye easily.

Heron doesn’t mess about on the flip either and Convolution strikes just as hard as his A side counterpart. A solid drum workout kicks this track to life as slowing opening synths give this monster a deeper edge. Things really start to happen and Heron drops a signature pad line that really gives this a more Detroit sensibility.

Heron steps up his game for this release as he moves into deeper and harder territory whilst still staying true to his sound.

Part of the Living Analógica Live Showcase with Mike Grant (USA) and Lepablot (ARG). Recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina with 300 music lovers.

Full video: https://youtu.be/xLj8eNil6rc

Lepablot began his musical journey in the mid-90s, when he started listening to and collecting records from Underworld, Cassius, Daft Punk, and Motorbass. In those early releases, he discovered a wide spectrum of styles that were still rare in Buenos Aires: breaks, techno, electro, and house—often stripped of vocals, with raw beats and powerful phrases. That’s where he found the sound that would shape him: deep, emotional, raw, and spacey—music that could be both introspective and club-ready.

In 2011, he began performing as a DJ and traveling with his music, playing gigs and holding residencies across Argentina, New York, Punta del Este, Paris, and Berlin. Over time, his sound evolved into a more abstract and raw profile, deeply influenced by Detroit’s musical legacy, but always tuned in to the eclectic flavors of the French scene.

Today, he stays true to that vision: deep house sets with analog textures, rough basslines, pianos, and hypnotic grooves. Loyal to physical format, he sees vinyl digging and selection as an act of resistance against digital immediacy. From that philosophy came projects like Bla Bla Baires, Save Your Friends From Bad Music, and Living Analógica—spaces where music is the core, and vinyl is the only rule.

Mike Grant is part of the first wave of artists who shaped the sound of Detroit. He began DJing in the early 1980s under the mentorship of Blake Baxter and has since been a quiet yet pivotal force in the history of techno and house: a member of the legendary “Street Beat” crew alongside Juan Atkins and Derrick May, a key figure in Detroit’s first radio mix shows, and one of the earliest DJs to appear on WGPR’s The Scene alongside Jeff Mills and other pioneers.

He was also the first U.S. DJ to hold a residency at Berlin’s iconic Tresor club, a global temple of underground music. As a producer, he released essential records under his own name and as Black Noise, and has been remixed multiple times by Mr. G.

In 1999 he founded Moods & Grooves, a label that became a meeting point for the most authentic strains of house and techno. It has released music from Moodymann, Theo Parrish, Mr. G, Andrés, Glenn Underground, and opened the door for countless emerging voices through Mike’s distinctive curation.

The Moods & Grooves universe also includes artists like Nico Lahs, Solid Gold Playaz, Gene Hunt, Piranha Head, Brian Harden, Rick Wade, Amp Fiddler, Alton Miller, Blake Baxter, Kyle Hall, and Boo Williams — different eras and trajectories united by a common thread: deepness as a message.

Despite dedicating much of the 1980s and 1990s to military service — including a deployment in Afghanistan where he oversaw the technical operations of a gospel ministry — Mike never stepped away from music. In 2022, he received a Testimonial Resolution from the City of Detroit recognizing his cultural contributions and musical legacy.

Today, Mike Grant continues to spin records and minds with sets that are living history, a pulsing present, and a vision of the future. Electronic music with soul: deep, uncompromising, and real.

Auntie Flo aka Brian d’Souza is back with a new album 'Birds of Paradise' on his imprint A State of Flo which we've just reviewed on the site. We like Flo or Brian d’Souza as he is known to his mum. He wrote a really great article about how hard it is to be an independent artist these days and seems really honest both in his approach and his music. Which brings us nicely to this mix which pulls together all his nice afro ethno influences before zoning out into a horizontal come down... It's a lovely journey.

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.
