Summer twenty twenty

Paco Osuna’s Mindshake Records kicks off 2022 with a new Tech House EP from DJ Boris that also features a remix from the shared alias Project00 of Paco Osuna and Fer BR the label’s A&R.

For over two decades in the scene now, the US-based Russian-born producer DJ Boris has a very rich catalog of music with releases on the likes of Mark Knight’s Toolroom, Terminal M, Suara, his label Transmit Recordings, Codex Recordings, Tronic, Intec just to name few. His skills behind the decks made him a New York DJ star but with the music he makes, he travelled the world playing at the Shores of Playa Del Carmen to The Magical Ibiza.

Project00 has so far been remixing the finest tracks on Mindshake records, but as solo artists Paco Osuna and Fer BR have released on influential labels ranging from Richie Hawtins Minus to Claude VonStroke's DIRTYBIRD and Adam Beyer's Truesoul.

Body Burning EP is a true presentation of DJ Boris's groovy percussions, rolling tech-house foundation is placed within a darker, danceable tension with a pounding kick and bass. A fine touch version from Project00 of Body Burning that gives the release a whole new dimension.

MadTech finish up the year with its ‘Winter Sampler 2018’ compilation including eight exclusive tracks from Josh Butler, Mia Dora, Dirty Secretz, Garry Todd and more.

After yet another successful year for the MadTech imprint following releases from the likes of Tough Love, Cera Alba, Devstar and more, they close out 2018 with their annual winter compilation through a collection of dancefloor focussed tracks from some of house music’s most exciting names.

Dirty Secretz ‘I See You’ kicks things off with garage tinged percussion, infectious vocals and pulsating low end before Javi Bora, Iban Montoro and Jazzman Wax’s ‘Da Groove’ delivers enticing bass grooves balanced with clattering kicks and highs. Origins Rcrds’ Josh Butler then offers up an energetic roller through shuffling drums and hip hop vocal samples whilst Roog’s ‘Bubble Push’ is filled with hypnotic pads, tasteful vocals and winding synth movements which then follows suit in Relativ’s ‘Lean Back’.

London’s Garry Todd’s ‘Take Me Higher (Vocal Mix)’ delivers a stripped back lo-fi beat balanced with alluring synth waves and a smooth vocal line until Clock’s ‘Magnitude’ displays wonderfully balanced hypnotic textures through meditative dubbed out flutters and a deep bassline. The Glasgow duo Mia Dora then finish things off with ‘Myth’ through minimal aesthetics, a tension building lead line and Let The Machines Do The Work’s uplifting singing.

Hot Creations get set to release an album from label favourite, Toronto based DJ and producer Nathan Barato. Stepping away from his usual sound, Barato brings with him an old-school, energetic bounce to this ten track offering, inviting some top names to join him for the ride.

The album begins with Over You. Swirling arpeggios dance around the pulsating beat, providing the perfect backdrop for the poppy, yet soulful vocals of Wayne Tennant. This leads neatly into A Sun's Dream, which is exactly that - a warm, sunny track, pure party-time house produced alongside the French composers and afro-soul singers, Djeuhdjoah & Lieutenant Nicholson. Up next is Context featuring Lost BOUL. & NB76 - the aliases of Paolo Rocco and Nathan himself. It’s a techier affair with contrasting elements that take the track through a range of twists and turns. She's A Rockstar, produced alongside fellow Canadian Room 303, picks up the pace with its infectious rhythm and playful vocal hook.

On In Ya Soul Barato utilises a booty-house style bassline, enlisting Chicago’s Kid Enigma to provide the vocals.

High Rez brings back the sunny vibes with a tantalising guitar hook and dreamy piano topline, juxtaposed against the deep, whirring bassline. The slow, yet assured drum beat of Bubbles is up next with its woozy bass and gentile percussion sending the listener on a trance-inducing journey into the cosmos. Don't Say It features the smouldering vocals of Mikey V, layered over a throbbing beat that looks set to be one of Hot Creation’s summer anthems. Penultimate track Yo Yo has a sturdy bounce and effortlessly blends cowbells and suspenseful synths.

The album closes out with Crazy - a track that’s full to the brim of high energy with a marching bassline that’s sure to cause a commotion on dance-floors across the globe.

Nathan Barato has been a key figure in dance music for some time. His diverse sets have led to residencies at some of the industry’s hottest nights including Paradise and Elrow. He’s had a slew of hits on impressive imprints such as Hottrax, REKIDS, Relief and Saved Records. As well as this, Barato also heads up the RAWthentic label alongside Carlo Lio, which has charted releases from top artists including DJ Deeon and Stacey Pullen.

Quentin Harris - Beautiful Black Women Come From Brooklyn (Zed Bias remix)

Lxury’s heady, ecstatic dance music has been championed by the likes of A-Trak, Four Tet and Caribou for good reason. His hazy take on house is perfect for headphones and festivals alike, channeling the hands-in-the-air energy of rave history without any of the retro trappings. The perfectly titled No Real Rush EP collects four new future classics from a producer who knows that time is a flat circle (that spins at 45 RPM as loud as possible).
