Free Free Falling

Hiding slightly out of plain sight, Australian producer Mood J has been secretly crafting lush house jams for the last half decade bubbling just under the visible surface.

With the artist and Asquith having briefly touched base at the beginning of the label's journey, it took only a chance encounter in a Ballarat bungalow in 2016 to reignite the flames of the artist-label relationship. Jimmy surprisingly bumping into Jon (Mood J), as he was Daze's housemate in Aus, whilst the Lobster crew were on tour there.

Mood J's hard drive was stashed with archive of warm, sizzling, analogue studio tracks cooked to the nines, and so here we are just over 14 months later with the full epic debut in hand.

The edits-y anthem Turn Your Love Around kicks things off in huge fashion with a stomping & heaving flip of a proper classic. Arrangement never felt so tight and this one rides heftily into the night. NY Vibration follows, smoothing things out with a lolloping New York house twist layered with rippling, resonant deep haus pads, searing top lines and an easy spoken word. 

The flip kicks off with The Arps, a skittering hat skater with an ascending, descending and cascading arp line that hisses with sea spray and hot evenings in central Victoria. 

Providing the last hurrah of the night we have Moonlight Drive. Summer heartbreak captured in a single moment and a slap bass. A melancholy Juno riding over a hint of twinkling optimism, saying that it's not over yet.

Ltd, W/Lbl is a label based out Berlin that specializes in sophisticated, Classical, Jazz and Ethnic oriented electronic music. Since 2017 they have been putting out two vinyl series - one that features re-issues from previously released tracks and another that showcases all newly released work. Today's post involves the latter and includes an original from up and coming artist Alberto De Santiago, better known as Never Dull.

Based out of Los Angeles, Never Dull has been on the scene for only about a year now but has already released work for labels such as Feedasoul, Dansu Discs, and Hopera Records. In his latest effort titled Cool Jazz Boogie, Never Dull manages to pair sultry Spanish vocals along with a groovy assortment of languid synths and gently plucked guitar strings. In that sense, the title of the song is fairly straightforward in describing the vibe it creates and will certainly play well where ever lounging and relaxation is the prerogative.

PREMIERE: Never Dull - Cool Jazz Boogie

Classic Music Company boss Luke Solomon reunites with disco cohort Amy Douglas and poetic talent Queen Rose on ‘Love Hope Happiness’. Started over two years ago with the intention of making a follow up to their first single as a trio, ‘Light You Up’, the track was put on the backburner as Luke soon found himself buried deep into production and writing on both Horse Meat Disco and Honey Dijon’s albums. “Fast forward to lockdown and the time felt appropriate, the song finally felt like it had a place, I’ve permanently tried to remain optimistic through some seriously testing times, and I want to portray that in the record.” Music can provide great relief in times of hardship and this sublime release does exactly that; a joyous, boogie-filled ride with an authentic disco funk feel, destined to uplift and enchant its listeners. “No matter how hard it gets, love and hope are the things we can try and hang onto and in turn it may eventually bring some joy and happiness in all our lives.”

Love. Hope. Happiness

Why Do You Hate Me

Following the release of their acclaimed debut album The Vision, Ben Westbeech and Kon unveil a sublimely arranged remix package of one of the standout cuts from the LP, ‘Down’ featuring Detroit soul trio Dames Brown. Opening with The Vision’s blissful original, with its warm percussion and string-drenched interludes, ‘Down’ highlights the soul and funk leaning side of The Vision’s sound. Snatch! label boss Riva Starr delivers his house roller of a mix next, taking a more dancefloor-focussed approach with filtered bass wobbles and irresistible loops, while maintaining the vitality of ‘Down’ that makes it special. Closing out the release is 45 Queen Natasha Diggs, who delivers a hazy, deeply groovy version of the record, richly instrumented with long, expressive keys and rhythmic percussion. This is yet another exquisite package from The Vision camp begging to be heard on the dancefloor.
