CNP020 • 'Ulterior Guidance' EP - @bensonstreaker

Limited run of 300 x 12", mastered and cut by Curved London

OUT NOW: https://canape-records.bandcamp.com/album/ulterior-guidance

"The enigmatic Benson Streaker returns to Canapé this summer with a sweltering four-track 12”: ‘Ulterior Guidance’.

Transcending the woozy microcosm of breakbeat and electronica established on his label debut [CNP015 - ‘The Body / Something’s Not Right’], CNP020 sees Streaker push his sound into opulent technicolour.

Amid a wash of psychedelic hues, A1 (’Strange Operator’) beckons with an irresistibly saturated tech-house skip. Seatbelts are advised, as Benson’s heart-throb 4x4 propels us to a strange, yet loving, astral plane.

A2 illustrates a co-existence of sophistication and minimalism rarely found in post-millennial house music; an otherworldly vocal (courtesy of Ursula Rucker) is glued effortlessly with Streaker’s understated percussion, on the blissful 7-minute title track.

On the flip side, ‘Dimension’ (B1) thrusts us into a Balearic haze of raves-gone-by. Glimpses of early acid house and trance permeate this shimmering and uplifting club-pumper, before our cosmic journey concludes with the elegant and soulful ‘It’s Yours’ (B2). Acting as a reminder of our Earthly genesis, shades of quintessential minimal house and UK garage tastefully underpin this 00’s-inspired stomper."

Benson Streaker - Ulterior Guidance

‘No Clear Shape’ is the second release from Kassian on their new imprint Faux Poly. The release explores the concept of the VIP mix; the same core idea across 3 tracks and tailored for different environments or moments in a DJ set.

The Original Mix blends Broken Beat, UKG and UK Bass. The track builds and peaks with a prominent hook and strong melody. Next up, the Warehouse VIP strips down the idea into a no frills Breakbeat club tool, holding onto the main stabs and a stripped back vocal cuts, ideal for bigger rooms. Finally, the Club VIP is a simplified 4/4 house variation, focussing almost exclusively on the chords of the original, far more suited to regular clubs.

A new Chrissy record is about to drop on the RAWAX label off shoot CHIWAX, titled Resilience. The 14 track all killer no filler album was inspired by Chrissy’s love for early 90s rave records. The album encompasses many of the early 90s rave genres such as break-beat, acid house and jungle. 

The album is bursting with uplifting piano riffs , euphoric vocals and chugging house bass lines. 

Today we have the pleasure of premiering the first track on the album titled Like a Fantasy. After the first few rave chord stabs you are instantly thrown into a hedonistic warehouse, head rushing and smiling widely.  The vocal rings out the title of the track whilst choppy break-beat drums filter in and get you moving. The kick drum slams in and you are up and away. 

It does not take long for that famous TB303 acid bass line lick to join the mix, incredible how such a small synthesizer has the power to put a smile on the faces of party people all over the world.

The track could be summed up with a yellow smiley face, the illustration of defiance, positivity and rave. This track is contagious and will be unstoppable on a dance floor. 

Total brilliance from Chrissy on this one – a huge tip for any DJ looking to lift a set with energy, euphoria and 90s rave nostalgia.  

“Chrissy is one of the best DJs to ever walk the earth and I am just going to keep saying it until everyone agrees with me." —The Black Madonna

“An authority on genres as disparate as footwork, disco and ghetto house.” — Red Bull Music Academy

“A virtual walking encyclopedia of the last 30 years of dance music” — XLR8R

Just like sunshine, this combo pack of techy rollers and UK bass really lights up the dance floor. Rounding out the project is "God Chord" a breaks influenced bass track equipped with cheeky vocals and a stuttering acid line. Folks get down in the sunshine!

As we enter our fourth year as a label, we welcome San Francisco based Chrissy to the Dansu Discs family for DSD017. He specialises in rave-influenced sounds, Chicago house, and disco, but his 20-year career has ranged from jungle to footwork to freestyle (he literally has it all!). His strong reputation as a ‘genre bending’ producer is one that is fully deserved and he proves just that in this record. On the B side we welcome back Soundbwoy Killah and Denham Audio, both providing a killer remix to top off one of our most exciting projects yet.
