Headman returns once again on his own Relish Recordings label with a superb new EP featuring new track ‘Turning’ and a near perfect package of remixes from Emperor Machine, Richard Fearless, Scott Fraser & Murphy Jax…

Robi Insinna has been at the heart of the early electro-disco moment for the last decade. His recordings for Gomma, Output and then his own Relish Recordings label have been hugely influential, inspiring the next generation of producers,
whilst his name has been a ‘go-to’ for quality remixes, gracing the releases of artists such as Franz Ferdinand, The Gossip, Roxy Music & The Units. Whilst his work as Headman and Manhead has been a constant for quality in this everchanging
world, his label Relish has also become a beacon for the best in electronic music. Recent singles from Headman & Daniel Avery have received critical acclaim and passionate support and the labels Relish 3 compilation last year gave a taste of what is to come.

The latest single from Headman sees Insinna offer up the wonderful ‘Turning’, an 80’s tinged machine-funk vocal outing that comes on like a modern love child of Human League, New Order and Grace Jones. Robi’s tight yet rich production
shines through on both the dub version and the original which features vocalist Tara, who previously appeared on the awesome ’It Rough’.

The originals of ‘Turning’ are complimented by two remixes, the first comes from production hero Emperor Machine AKA Andy Meecham, one half of the hugely influential Chicken Lips who back in 2003 remixed ‘It Rough’ turning it into an
underground hit. Meecham’s mix is the kind of epic, extended masterpiece that we have come to expect from a producer of his calibre, it draws you in, twists you up in it’s funk and has you shaking for the full nine minutes to it’s conclusion. The
second mix comes from Scott Fraser, a producer who shares studio space with Andrew Weatherall and has recently released on Astrolab France and World Unknown, here he delivers a pulsing, Moroder-esque reworking that is a heads down, disco delight.

Added to the package we have two remixes of ‘Be Loved’, Headman’s last single. The first comes from none other than Richard Fearless/Death in Vegas, who is very much hot property after the release of his incredible 2011 album ‘Trans-
Love Energies’, here he turns in a truly storming mix that segues from a distorted leftfield intro into an acid house classic, wonderful in every way! The second mix and the final piece in the puzzle is supplied by the ever brilliant Murphy Jax who
takes ‘Be Loved’ and works it into a warm, percussive house workout that marries pads, big piano chords and rich bass to create a simply blissful mix.

Supported by: Andrew Weatherall, Jack / Friendly Fires, Rex The Dog, Maya Jane Coles, Roman Fluegel, Trevor Jackson, Erol Alkan, Eric Duncan / Rub'n'Tug/ Still Going, Alex Metric, Ewan Pearson, Rory Phillips, Severino + Jim Stanton (Horse Meet Disco) , jd twitch / Optimo, Jori Hulkkonen, Nickolas Chacona, Claudio Coccoluto, mock & toof, InFlagranti, Villa, Dan Avery, Chris Duckenfield, Richard Norris and many more…

Headman - Turning (Emperor Machine Special Extended Version)

Aaaaah! This tune is so damn sexy, it makes me wanna lose my skirt!
I’ve had it on repeat for a while, and it only gets better and better.
I am absolutely in love with the vocals which are beautifully mixed with an acid house groove that’s gonna keep me up for nights in a row for sure.            
                    
After last year’s 'Want Some' EP and January’s ‘Femur Loveseat’ track, the https://soundcloud.com/my-favorite-robot-records bosses are back on their own label with another standout release featuring the remix I’m premiering today by https://soundcloud.com/theofficialjorihulkkonen.
                
Jori has released numerous LPs and EPs on My Favorite Robot and his synth heavy, artful style suits the original perfectly. 

Release date - 13/04/18

Track: Somethin´ Sanctified-Direct Sunlight

Something Sanctified delivers an absolute gem with Direct Sunlight on new lable Citizens of Vice. Lush pianos carry us into melodic house heaven from beginning to end. Stunning indeed.


'Citizens Of Vice' is a new label that is not trying to take itself to seriously. For it's debut release it kicks off with a sampler that bookends it's musical demographic. Disco, House and Balearic vibes with a nod to the heady days that have inspired the labels creation. 'In Flagranti' kick things off with a rugged modern Disco affair. This is followed by our very own ode to the infamous Ibizan venue `Pikes'. Somethin' Sanctified follow with a piano heavy roller that will have hands in the air a plenty. Plastic Fantastic then slow things down with some seriously mellow vibes.. This release represents what we are about as a label and showcases four acts that encompass a sound template of where we will go on future releases.

About Darryl 

Hailing from Atlanta, GA, Darryl Reeves is a saxophonist that effortlessly merges the lines between funk, soul & hip-hop, expressed from a platform rooted in jazz. Growing up in a musical family, Reeves attended the Northwestern Performing & Visual Arts Center in Miami. Moved by hip-hop samples originating from jazz, Reeves was led to being influenced by greats such as Charlie Parker and John Coltrane. Reeves studied music at Jackson State University. He subsequently completed his Masters of Music at the University of New Orleans, where he studied with Terence Blanchard and performed on the scene with Delfeayo Marsalis. In 2004, Reeves released the funky and playful Diary of a Bandstand, to ample acclaim. It featured Robert Glasper, Russell Gunn & Quamon Fowler and cemented Reeves' reputation for presenting a new outlook on the sound, style and production of jazz music. Reeves has kept a steady hand in not being limited to any specific genre. Some know him just as well for his production in hip-hop. Reeves caught Ahmir "?uestlove" Thompson's attention with his ingenious jazz-funk remixes of Jay-Z's Black Album, which was spun upon many of the drummer's dj sets. Recently in Atlanta, he has been the music director of many highly acclaimed live sets with Aishah Rashied Hyman's Spreadlove and DJ Kemit. He has performed and recorded with notable artists including Roy Ayers, The O'Jays, Frank McComb, Angie Stone, Kirk Whalum, Jill Scott, Phonte, Toku, Janelle Monae,  Young Jeezy, B.O.B. and T-Pain.

Retro/Grade - Pulsar (Herbie Hancock Rockit Bootleg)

Cat No: YMF10 
Artist: Marcin Czubala , remix: Audiojack 
Title: Immediately Above EP 
Label: Your Mama's Friend 
Release Date: 3rd April 2013 (Vinyl), 10th April 2013 (Digital)

Your Mama’s Friend continues to build itself a healthy reputation as purveyors of modern sounding house and tech that likes to do things on its own terms. Of course, it’s all down to the leadership of Marcin Czubala who here serves up an EP of his own for the label, complete with remix from Leeds lads Audiojack, which will see 250 copies released on limited red vinyl with digital following later.
‘Immediately Above’ starts with the familiar wub-wub of a reversed kick drum as a loopy, undecipherable vocal plays over the top. It’s a deeper, more emotive track than the physical second offering with ditty neon chords warming the thing through from the inside out. The second half, though, is quite different, with more reversed kicks, big bell sounds and dramatic drum fills: it’s fun and lively and gets stripped right back to a slow-ish machine workout by Audiojack.
‘Reflects’ is a classic example of both Czubala and YMF’s ability to get you dancing. The track combines plenty of bright chords with deft percussion and a pumping house kick drum, ducking and diving through spraying synths that implode and explode as snatched vocals inject an important human element.
Their distinctive drum hits slap out a militant groove as glowing pads snake through the arrangement and a clip diva wails bursts through at various points to add some hands in the air style moments. Three tracks obviously designed for the floor but done so with style and charm to spare.
