Numbers 10
NYC – November 29 
London – December 7
Glasgow – December 13 

Portland was produced by our good friend Dave Clark aka Sparky and was the first record we released in 2002, about a year before the first ever Numbers party took place.

Originally recorded live to tape using an MMT8, a Microwave II, and an ESi32 in the summer of 1998, it was released on an old label of ours named Stuffrecords and formed part of a somewhat rambling compilation called STUFF001. We hastily stuck this record out without any proper distribution, because at the time we didn’t know any better. Despite this, the record did pretty well, selling 500 copies to a few select stores who had faith in what we were doing.

Fast forward a year or so to when Numbers kicked off and the track became one of the first bonafide anthems in the club. It was our tune and it would tear the roof off at any of our parties.

A couple of years later, we booked DJ Pete, aka 'Substance' to play. We’re talking about the record in the pub when he suddenly informs us that Ricardo Villalobos is crazy about it and even charted it. This was a deep, almost Drexciyan electro track and here was the king of crazy experimental minimal house music caning it in his DJ sets.

Not long after that night, the Numbers label was up and running and the idea to re-release Portland with a remix from Mr Villalobos was brought up almost as a kind of pipe-dream. Now in 2013, with a little help from Gerd Janson, it has finally happened. Recorded live in one take and clocking in at over 30 minutes long, it’s cited as an "experiment" by Ricardo. Designed to play at two speeds, at 33rpm it's almost like an early 90s Black Dog track stretched out to infinity, whilst at 45rpm, it’s a club-ready groover with an almost Dopplereffekt rhythm to it – the sort you could imagine sneaking into a DJ Assault or Godfather Ghettotech mix. Somehow, it also manages to be classic Villalobos.

To finish off the record Dave gave us two unheard tracks from those original Portland sessions in 1998. The malevolent electro of ‘Jigsaw’ would instantly have become another Numbers anthem if only Dave had let us hear it ten years ago, and closer track ‘Wilson St’ heads down an ambient route.

About Sparky
Dave’s a bit of a legend. In the early 90s he was a member of Glasgow Techno band State Of Flux who released on JD Twitch’s old label T&B Vinyl. Their first live show was supporting The Black Dog in 1992 at an old Glasgow venue called Industria, and they were also the support at the first ever Jeff Mills show in Glasgow. Later on Dave would release records under the name Truffle Club and regularly collaborated with JD Twitch on remixes under the Optimo (Espacio) banner. Dave and his brother Craig also released an ep under the name ‘Music At Nite’ for former Numbers label Wireblock. Most recently, he’s been working under the name LUMA for Optimo Trax.

Since Richie Hawtin played this track in his Boiler Room Set on Ibiza, many people have been asking about this Joyce Muniz collab. The track features fresh vocals by Bam (formerly known as MC Baby Bam) from the legendary 90ies hip-hop group The Jungle Bothers (Native Tongues/Zulu Nation). The beat is based around a sample from Kraftwerk's 'It's More Fun To Compute,' and for this version we've actually got full approval from Kraftwerk (yes - guess what). So we're happy to release it now. Hope you dig it too.

Joyce Muniz Feat. Bam - Back In The Days ! 128kps

"Spanning just over eight minutes, the production is essentially broken up in two separate parts—the first focusing on a deep percussion pattern and sequences of light melodies, while the tune's latter half expands into more heavenly territory, where glistening pads and high-pitched vocals are anchored by massive bass and a heavy-handed four-on-the-floor. An ambitious composition, "You" is an impressively enticing first taste of what Gidge may be capable of on the debut LP the pair is expected to drop later this year."  - Glenn Jackson, XLR8R

--------

Kleerup had spent the early part of 2014 experimenting on new ideas and technology, and had begun to sketch out some basic ideas. But then tragedy stuck with the death of his mentor Christian Falk. “He really was like family, friend and mentor – he was everything,” sighs Kleerup. A year prior, Kleerup had hit upon the sort of bouncing, insistent bass groove that Falk himself had mastered so well. Perhaps as a subliminal way of addressing his loss, Kleerup revisited the idea and soon had something strong enough to share with kindred spirit Susanne Sundfør (Björk, Röyksopp, M83) who added the mesmeric topline. And so the upcoming single “Let Me” In was born – a song which captures the adventurous spirit of Kleerup’s earlier work while pushing the Eighties influence to a new level.

“Let Me In” will be impossible to evade in the coming months as it leads a global H&M campaign which is complemented by visuals directed by the legendary Jonas Åkerlund (Lady Gaga, Madonna, Beyoncé, to name but a few). Again inspired by his prior work with Falk, Kleerup is using the exposure to reintroduce himself to the world just as he did when he was a rising talent: “Let Me In” previews the release of the new mini-album entitled “As If We Never Won “(the title track of which features Maja Ivarsson from The Sounds), and a second mini-album will follow early next year ahead of a new full-length record.

The new material is the result of Kleerup’s continuing self-discovery. “My first album was about relationships that didn’t work out, the Me and My Army album was about good versus bad, and “Aniara” was all about confronting mortality,” he explains. “As an artist, a lot of stuff has happened in my life since the last album, but everything’s a bit easier now, thank God. Along the way, I’ve learned two things: 1) everything that  happens in the world is not my fault and 2) other people may have a point!”

Once more, it seems that Kleerup’s most personal songs will be the work that connects with the public on a global scale.

Let Me In

This is the official Benoit & Sergio remix of Matthew Dear's track Drop Science. This project was very unique for us to work on because he took the acoustic signatures and sounds from thousands of GE machines and worked with their Acoustics Engineer to create an entire original musical composition. We then put our own Benoit & Sergio spin on the track.

New York natives Wolf + Lamb have gone down in house music folklore thanks to their parties at the Marcy Hotel in Brooklyn while Boston duo Soul Clap are just as respected down to their ability to create and throw down fruity house jams. 

Then there's Nick Monaco, the new kid on the block who released his fun-loving debut album 'Mating Call' in September and laid down an equally playful In Session for us the same month.

B2 - Will I Make It Home Tonight 

Forty-two months can be a lifetime in the rapidly changing world of dance music, but the 3 ½ years since Maya Jane Coles’ previous Mobilee release, 2011’s “Beat Faster,” has seen the UK DJ/producer accumulate unprecedented accolades from all corners of the dance music sphere, from magazine covers and reader poll placement to premier league bookings and regular play by her esteemed house music peers 

Having seamlessly transitioned from buzz-heavy newcomer to perennial favorite, Maya returns to Mobilee with three tracks in her unmistakable style, one that has only become more potent with practice on releases by Dogmatik, Hypercolour, Jackathon Jams, 20:20 Vision and her own I/AM/ME label. “From the Dark” picks up perfectly where “Beat Faster” left off, with the addition vocalist Moggli only adding more spice to the bubble tech house stew. Proof that as fast as Maya’s star has shot, there’s still plenty of sky left to travel.

Get it here!

Our latest musings on Futureboogie Recordings. Thanks for all the support so far, more soon!

Press:

Casino Times debut on Futureboogie after a handful of stellar releases, most notably for London based Needwant Recordings, and Wolf Music. The duo of Nicolas Church and Joseph Spencer show us just why they’re steadily building a reputation for themselves with this four tracker.

Opening up with ‘Used To Be’, the smooth production and absorbing electronics deliver a classy, late night floor filler. With all the depth of, say, a classic Carl Craig joint, and deft melodic touches rippling through its duration, it’s a sound that’s prevelant throughout the rest of the EP. The jazzy overtones on ‘Turn A Blind Eye’ reveal a real musicality and sophistication, normally reserved for stallwarts of the scene like Larry Heard, yet Casino Times produce house music with plenty of head space and dubbed out moments.

Tempos are ramped up on ‘Weathered Walls’, as is the distortion, as rolling snares and urgent piano stabs pair against a raw and minimal beat, the enveloping pads bringing warmth if abundance to this warehouse gem. Wrapping up this very impressive EP is ‘Still’, a masterful arrangement of woody percussion, wandering keys and dubby FX, coming over like a long lost Nu Groove record for the next generation.

On the strength of ‘Lower Level Sounds’, we expect to hear a lot more from Casino Times over the coming year.

Vocally driven, with a little nibble of the guitars and a lonely trumpet somewhere in the distance, David Marston & Dan Izco remix of Fork In the Path by Life on Planets is a beautiful tune. Taking you from everyday life into somewhere else. Finally driving the thing home with a apex of drums, piano and some pads, this song is quite something.
