Grahm’s Playlist - 2

A project unveiled for the first time last summer, Solid Grooves' 'Raw Grooves' series welcomed the first-ever Various Artists project on sister label Solid Grooves Raw, and in the process introduced a slick selection of grooveheavy, stripped back yet powerful cuts from some of the label's core family members and closest friends.

Now back for its second installment, early-May sees label favourites Eddy M, Blackchild (ITA), and Ramin Rezaie joined by a wealth of leading names and rising talents as they welcome UK hotshot Latmun for his label debut, South Coast duo Prok | Fitch, who step out on sister label Raw for the first time following their huge single 'Indiance', recent Solid Grooves debutant Wheats, returning Manchester-based talent Kreature, and fast-rising London pairing, Antss and Ash-R.

Ben Rau revives his INKAL label after a two-year hiatus, with a brace of new tracks on the ‘French Plan’ single.  Conceived as a label solely for his own productions and running parallel to his META imprint, (home to house aficionados Ray Mono, Darius Syrossian, The Checkup and many more), Rau cues up two irresistible house tracks for a summer that promises to be like no other.

‘French Plan’ certainly doffs its cap to the filtered ‘French touch’ sound that cemented itself into the house music fabric over the last couple of decades, and Rau keeps this basic technique sounding thoroughly modern and effective.  Looping piano and tight guitar licks keep rolling over a crisp rhythm, female vox bringing the ‘call to arms’ that seals this uplifting cut perfectly.

Rau teases some classic deep house tropes on accompanying track ‘Holding On’, as a lively bassline and some acidic tones gambol over an industrious four to the floor beat, sweeping strings and a rousing vocal maintaining the good time energies stamped all over this one.

A welcome return for the INKAL label and for Ben Rau’s resolute sounds.

The London underground scene is always a cause for happiness. This is the time of Antss, an amazing artist who has already released on Hottrax, Solid Grooves or Revival among others. He already released on the label but this is his debut EP on elrow music, so here we go!

'Shake' is about a relentless groove, vocal slices and a hypnotic trippy synth leading the track. 'Ain't He Bad!', the other track on the EP, is about a powerful vocal, huge bassline and powder for the dancefloor. Two weapons for destroying any soundsystem, don't miss it!

Breaking Through

Especial, Vol. 1, Pt. 3

Pianopop (Original Mix)

Featuring vocals and horns from long-time collaborator Polly Meyrick, Cornish production duo Kerrier Collective return to Colour and Pitch with atmospheric deep house single 'Somatic Tick', featuring a silky smooth remix from BiG AL.

With their previous output receiving support on BBC 6 Music, NTS and Jazz FM here in the UK, Kerrier Collective (DJ/producer Ben Tidy and multi-instrumentalist Alfie Gidley) have a series of stunning releases ready to unleash over the next few months, as well as a live set ready to hit the road soon.

Earning his stripes on the U.S. East Coast and Montreal, Canada in the late 80's and a fine ambassador for his native Levant region across the globe ever since, DJ and producer BiG AL turns in a typically rolling and hypnotic reworking of 'Somatic Tick', showing love for the original while adding subtle flourishes all his own.

An overcast day, a beat and a chopped up sample were the starting point for 'Somatic Tick'. It began in Ben Tidy's off grid cabin in the corner of a field in Cornwall. "It forces you to work fast when you're relying on the power of the sun in the UK" says Ben. "When you don't think about it, all of your influences can come out to play; 90s New York house, Jungle, Hardcore and later disco when adding handclaps and the Rhodes. 3 hours after starting this track there was an arrangement. Flow state had done all the work and at the end of this short session it was like someone else had written the track. Just vibin'."

Alfie Gidley, returning from a tour, soon pitched in. "I felt the vocals asked for a harmonic lift in the chorus sections so I sat down with my bass guitar to try and pull out the chord change required" he explains. "Ben's original track (which became the DJ version) has a constant pedal note which isn't the root of the key, so it sort of flies above the ground, never landing. With the studio version I experimented with grounding the track so that it could lift off for the chorus. We liked the two different effects so much that two distinct versions have made it onto the final release."

"When I listened to the track I immediately had a clear idea for the vocals" Polly Meyrick adds, "and most of the vocal ideas came out there and then in one session. I enjoyed picking percussive and satisfying words for the lyrics and writing the horns with a kind of sleazy disco feel. The track talks about a feeling of overwhelm with the pace of life and internet culture. It's an expression of frustration with smartphones and how these devices have created a new culture around dating and social interactions."

GruuvElement's debuts on Solid Grooves Raw as he delivers the label's
first release of the year, 'Rokfin'. An emerging talent known for his
percussion-driven, groove-heavy sound, London-based DJ and producer
GruuvElement's has curated a hypnotic, minimal sound which has seen him
release across a handful of leading labels across his journey to date.
Kicking off 2021 in style, he now heads to Solid Grooves Raw as he makes
his debut on the label with 'Rokfin'. A track typical of the Romanian
talent's trademark style, 'Rokfin' welcomes a paired-back, rolling cut
guided by organic drum licks, wandering bass stabs and warping vocals to
shape up a killer production destined for many an after-hours.
