In these fastmoving times, where many acts come and go in the space of a few blog posts, it's becoming harder and harder to find artists with true staying power. Anu Pillai aka Freeform Five is one of those rare artists. Following an impressive series of originals & remixes and productions for artists like Ladyhawke, Santigold, Lana Del Rey and Little Boots, he returned to the scene with ‘Weltareh’, a collaboration with Gambian griot and master musician Juldeh Camara. On ‘Leviathan’ Freeform Five teams up with the legendary Róisín Murphy for an exercise in irresistible vocal power and anthemic, feel good appeal. Tom Trago delivers an incarnation of ‘Leviathan’ that highlights the shimmering synths and melodies and puts the funk edge and drum beats centre stage. Cage & Aviary provide a slice of dirty electro tech in their remix teeming with solid claps and bleeps and FX.

One of the youngest DJs on the Belgian DJ circuit, Maxime Firket aka Compuphonic soon moved onto the international scene with a release on Tiga’s Turbo Recordings. Further releases came on other highly acclaimed labels including Get Physical, Modular, Darkroom Dubs, Systematic Recordings, 2020 Vision and Parquet Recordings. On his ‘Leviathan’ remix, Compuphonic injects a playful bounce into the soaring sonics of the original melody.

South London based Cage & Aviary provide a slice of dirty electro tech in their remix teeming with solid claps and bleeps and FX. The duo started off with releases on the much acclaimed Dissident Distribution and have since appeared on DFA, Tiny Sticks, Astro Lab and Prins Thomas' Internasjonal label. They also run their own label The Walls Have Ears. 

Tom Trago delivers two incarnations of ‘Leviathan’ firstly a dub version that highlights the shimmering synths and melodies and puts the funk edge and drum beats centre stage. His remix closing the package reintroduces Róisín’s unforgettable voice. Tom Trago is one of the Netherland’s finest producers and is the most prominent artist on Amsterdam institution Rush Hour Recordings, his third album came out on the label October last year and he also curates the offshoot label series Voyage Direct.

New German outsider house label TOY TONICS comes up with a superfat SLOW HOUSE 6 track EP from mighty producer DJ STEEF.
It's not Paris. This here comes from Marseille. A city that used to be big in Hip Hop - and now has a huge funky house scene. Many people there translated the boom of Hip Hop and Soul into fat, funky, slow house. DJ STEEF is one of the main guys. His releases on Magic Wand, Editorial, ZE, Superbreak and DiscoDat he has been played regularly by DJ's like James Murphy, Weatherall and Tim Sweeney.

Info
Sexy vocals, sexy rhythms and ideosyncratic deep house. SHOW-B & Thomas Herb ́s remix delivers a dirty drifty touch. For the women and their cool boys, too.

The Danish duo Classic VIV & Lawaetz aka Najaaraq Vestbirk and Jacob Lawaetz meet through their dj residency at the legendary Copenhagen club Dunkel Bar. Jacob, 26 years old, is a former jazz musician, now soon to be a doctor. Najaaraq, 24 years old, is currently studying at the Rhythmic Music Conservatory, working as a music journalist and founder of the electronic music and radio platform Dunkel Radio. Najaaraq released the single Body & Soul on acknowledge label Noir Music in 2011, and both her and Jacob have released remixes of fellow countrymen, but this is their debut as the duo Classic VIV & Lawaetz.

SHOW-B & Thomas Herb can surely be ranked as Munich’s finest mixing talents when it comes to Housemusic in its truest sense. SHOW-B made some serious waves last year releasing EPs on the likes of Pokerflat and Delusions Of Grandeur (as PATTERN SELECT); while Thomas Herb is in high demand as the resident DJ of the Compost Black Label Sessions club night in Munich. These talented hosts of the beloved Compost Black Label Sessions radio show recently combined their creative forces and recorded a mind- bending three tracker together (Compost Black Label #85).
The artwork is made by the well respected graphic designer Christian Zander (emperorofantarctica.com).

Classic VIV & Lawaetz | This Is For The Women

Release date: 28th of January

Early support by Tim Sweeney, Aeroplane, Âme and more..


In these fast-moving times, where many acts come and go in the space of a few blog posts, it's becoming harder and harder to find artists with true staying power. Anu Pillai aka Freeform Five is one of those rare artists.

Following an impressive series of original productions & remixes and a relentless touring schedule, Anu decided to take a break from Freeform Five a few years back to concentrate on writing, producing & remixing for the likes of Ladyhawke, Santigold, Lana Del Rey, Little Boots and Roisin Murphy amongst others.

Anu has always thought outside the box. His remix of Isolee's Beau Mot Plage redefined the art of remixing, juxtaposing the micro-synthesis of the original with intricate Afro & Latin polyrhythms, creating a bonafide house music classic. Now Anu has come full circle, collaborating with Gambian griot and master musician Juldeh Camara (a member of Robert Plant's Sensational Space Shifters band) for his latest release Weltareh on the legendary Eskimo recordings. As a multi instrumentalist, composer, DJ  and producer, Anu can skillfully meld the organic musicianship of Juldeh's Fulanese riti (a one string violin) and kologo with his own studied electronic experimentation and guitar playing – as one listen to this truly epic track will attest.

Prins Thomas joins the the stellar list of super talented artists who've been invited to remix Freeform Five tracks (following on from Tiefschwarz, Radioslave, Lindstrom, Mylo, M.A.N.D.Y, Ewan Pearson, Jackson & His Computer Band and Maurice Fulton to name a few) along with a stunning re-work from Anu himself alongside Glasgow Underground's Kevin Mckay.
