Makèz have come a long way since they first sneaked into Amsterdam’s studio 80 at the age of 17 to hand over their demos to Dam Swindle. Those demos led to their debut EP ‘Different planets’on Heist in 2019 which gained major support from artists like Seth Troxler and Chez Damier. Quickly after, they signed two records on New York based label Let’s Play House. Fast forward two years, and here we are with their debut album.
 
‘City Of All’ shows a level of sophistication and matureness, effortlessly bridging genres across its thirteen cuts. You can feel the thought that has been put into this record, with tracks blending into each other as Makèz submerge themselves in their concept of accidental encounters, inclusiveness and what it means to live in a city like Amsterdam.  
 
On this album, Makèz bring together all the musical influences they’ve picked up in their life as music fans, clubbers, and art students. The jazz-funk of opening track ‘The Entrance’, feels breezy and casual, like freeform rhythms played in a jazz club soundcheck. Energy oozes from ‘Not So Different’, featuring the smooth vocals of LYMA. There’s a hint of the house-meets-R’n B vibe that made Anderson .Paak the star that he is now. Brilliantly funky, this song shows the talent of Makèz, who cleverly use pop & soul cues to create one of the album’s highlights. 
 
What follows is four cuts ranging from the syncopated Balearic funk of ‘Orbit’, the strings of title track ‘City Of All’, the organ-led, ‘Gonna Getya’ and the downbeat ‘Sonder’. Allysha Joy, as part of Melbourne Hip Hop collective 30/70, features on the deep and jazzy ‘Looking Up’.  If Makèz and Allysha are all looking up, it’s clear they’re seeing the same thing! These kindred spirits perfectly complement each other, the deep bass, warm harmonies and jazzy percussion prove to be a perfect foundation for Allysha’s rhymes.
 
Is it an album all about jazz and soul to listen to at home? Far from it. There are dance floor-oriented tracks, where the distorted filter funk of ‘Roselane’ featuring Fouk, proves to be a highlight along with what is arguably the heaviest cut of the album ‘Bent With Funk’.
 
In an EP context, these house tracks would surely do their work, but they really come to life in this album. No compromise has been made to storytelling and the house tracks all play their part while still standing their ground in a club. 
The expert production and smart arrangement gives this collection its casually funky feel.  On ‘City Of All’ Makèz showcase their remarkable talent for writing an album that goes to so many different places, but most of all, just really feels like home.

Founded by in 2016, Pont Neuf has established itself as one of France’s leading electronic music imprints. Now six years in, the label will commemorate a milestone sixth birthday this June with the release of Hexagonal Club Vol. 3 LP. The sixteen-track VA includes offerings from regular faces and new ones alike, including Tour-Maubourg, Oden & Fatzo, Cosmonection, Vitess, KX9000, THEOS and many more besides.

“It’s impossible not to be aware of the incandescent side of the French electronic scene today. The list of internationally renowned artists in all electronic genres is endless. And the list of new emerging artists is even longer. The idea of this compilation is to freeze this scene in a moment, to celebrate it by marking it in time and letting these artists express their stories in music.” - Thomas Prunier, Pont Neuf Founder and Label Manager.

Madhouse Records reveal their second ‘Kerri Chandler Remixed’ instalment this October, with fresh interpretations from Henrik Schwarz, D’Julz, KETTAMA and Marquis Hawkes.

Founded in 1992, Kerri Chandler’s Madhouse Records has been flying the flag within electronic music as one of the industry’s most well respected and quintessential imprints for over 25 years, delivering quality productions from leading names across the complete house sphere. Having welcomed Detroit Swindle, Peggy Gou, Josh Butler and Jimpster to remix Chandler in their first ‘Remixed’ instalment, released in early 2018, here we see the imprint revisit the label founder’s iconic discography once again as four new names rework a fresh selection of both solo and collaborative cuts, with Henrik Schwarz, D’Julz, KETTAMA and Marquis Hawkes combining to deliver Vol. 2 this October.

Up first, our premiere today, Henrik Schwarz’s take on Chandler and Jerome Sydenham’s 1999 cut ‘Powder’ builds upon the original production’s slick drum work with rich, jazz-tinged chords to reveal an elegant and stylish slice of house music, whilst D’Julz’s groove-heavy remix of ‘Peace Of Mind’ fuses dubby pads and skipping organic drums packed full of swing as the Parisian turns in yet another must-have effort. Next, KETTAMA’s bustling ‘Garage Remix’ of Kerri and Lafayette’s ‘Better Late Than Ever’ takes cues from its title as the Irish talent hones in on a snaking, driving bassline accented by classic soulful vocal hooks, before rounding out proceedings in style through Marquis Hawkes ‘Classic Club Vocal’ remix of Kerri Chandler and Jiletta Riley’s ‘The Way It Was’, unveiling a sun-soaked and infectious final cut that pays homage to Chandler’s trademark New Jersey palette in ever-impressing fashion.

Tilman steps up for the first record on Shall Not Fade’s new ‘Seasons Series’ imprint. The coloured vinyl sub-label pairs music associated with the season of release with the coloured vinyl that fits with that season. 001 due for release in summer season features laid back hazy synth patterns and groove ridden drum sequences, served up on a stunning blue marbled vinyl, just like the sky on a luscious summers day.

'This next release on Heist Recordings is a very special one. They’ve always stated how big their love for the US house sound is and they have worked as hard as they could to pay homage to the originators of that sound. In that sense, Heist 050 in many ways feels like a gift. It’s a gift to get to have music from a group of artists that have shaped the sound and scene that they hold so close to their heart. The artists we’re talking about? The legendary Detroit group Scan 7...'
