Rave strikes back!

Art Department - The Sun Comes Up (Mind Against 909 Remix)

Cutie / Shimmer

Shanti Celeste - Shimmer (Central Remix)

"Runs so deep it puts your butt to sleep", to paraphrase actor/musician Ice Cube in his seminal hit It Was a Good Day. And it is a good day for lovers of high-grade house music.

Szikra is Kornél Kovács at his most wistfully nostalgic. Ultra-smooth keys offset by noisy lo-fi breakbeats and vocals urging you to git fucked up, like Metro Area caught up... in smoke!

All the trademark sounds of the Barnhus massive are present - off-kilter playfulness paired with the cocky swagger of a south Stockholm roughneck and an infectious pop sensibility that lingers in your head long after the needle hits the inner groove.

The so-called Bónusz Beat is actually a track in its own right, sacrificing most of the hook and the vocals for a dubby smackdown ripe for adventurous dancefloors.

Young Stockholm producer Abdulla Rashim closes out the set with a perfectly horizontal techno groove, using only elements from the original production.

Scenes from our Classic Future is the realization of three songs and two projects that came together as one. As young aspiring musicians since the early age of 12, Greg Paulus and John Camp practiced playing jazz standards into the wee small hours of the morning together. Eventually the two would find themselves both in New York under new and more electronic circumstances. Deeply indebted to the mastery of Herbie Hancock, Paulus and Camp would reconnect, this time with synthesizers, and continue on their musical journey together.  

On one particular day, Camp played Paulus a track titled Remo. Paulus instantly fell in love with the track but both felt it needed something more… Paulus insisted on laying down vocals and within 15 minutes had the lyrics written out and soon after added trumpet. 

Around the same time Paulus was revisiting Surf Song, a track he and Brian Derdiarian had been working on sporadically for some time. The two would record long one-take jams on trumpet, Juno 106, and guitar, feeding them all thru looping and delay pedals. From these sessions they would find a stride and in addition to Surf Song, record Fire in the Sky. Similar to Remo, Fire in the Sky would come together in a lightning bolt sort of way. When adding the final touches, Camp was around and was enlisted to add piano which would bring the whole EP together. 
  
With the three tracks complete, Paulus began to see a correlation between them all. Each, in one way or another embodied the feeling of when the beach meets the ocean. Remo was distinctly reminiscent of their times spent on Rockaway Beach: The trips out in the car or bus, drinking and smoking on the shore and slowly making their way back into the Brooklyn night to get crazy. Fire in the Sky and Surf Song had a distinct West Coast vibe, most likely due to the fact that Derdiarian, being from California, could not help but bring that West Coast swagger to the music. At the end of the day, the idea of having their good friend Tanner Ross add his signature touch to the project was a necessity. Ross would take Remo and make it his own hazy gem. With that, Paulus would end up with four songs that reminded him of that special place where the sand hits the ocean.  

As luck would have it Paulus would manage to take two pictures (found on the 12") that perfectly encapsulated his feelings for these songs. One, a beautiful day on the Rockaways and the other, a lucky ride in his buddy's Corvette Stingray up the Pacific Coast Highway to Malibu. 

Scenes from our Classic Future is a collection of songs that Paulus, Camp, and Derdiarian love and have labored over for a long time. They hope you enjoy them as much as they do. 

Much love from Greg, John, and Brian.

Space Is The Place friends!

We are happy to present “Space Consciousness”, the first album on our little imprint composed by astro traveller Adham Zahran.

Born on a day where the Sun was aligned with the Eridanus Supervoid, a ray of energy from deep space unraveled an ancient force inside baby Adham that allowed him to share the wonders of the cosmos through some seriously funky house muzak.

The 9 track joint comes to you in a binary format with a 12” continuous analog excerpt. On top of that we asked Professor Chinaski, a proofed expert of the chaos theory and meteor card collector, to invert the albums intro into a slammy dancefloor banger, which the professional disc jockey won’t be able to resist.

If you don’t believe us, ask your astrologist!
