Louf - Times Were Simpler EP (Silver Bear Recordings)

I am extremely happy to announce the release of my very first album, "Leaving", on June 27! This album is the result of many months of hard work, passion and collaboration with talented musicians. “Leaving” is a deep exploration of afro house, blending captivating rhythms and vibrant melodies that reflect my influences and musical journey.

Each track on this album has been carefully crafted to give you a unique and immersive sound experience. Additionally, I am particularly proud of the extraordinary collaborations that brought this musical vision to life. "Leaving" is more than just an album, it is a sonic journey that will transport you into a universe rich in emotions and sensations.

Leaving (Club Edit)

Kornél Kovács - The Bells (Studio Barnhus)

2x 12'' vinyl / CD / digital / Release: 26.08.2016

A1. Szikra Intro – A2. BB – A3. Dollar Club – B1. Gex – B2. Josey's Tune – B3. Dance... While The Record Spins – C1. Szív Utca – C2. The Bells – D1. Pop – D2. Urszusz

For the past seven years Kornél Kovács has been busy rocking dancefloors and boomboxes worldwide as one third of Stockholm’s Studio Barnhus alongside Axel Boman and Petter Nordkvist. The label and DJ trio is spearheading a new era of fearless Swedish off-centre dance music, straddling the line between the cute and the menacing.

Anticipation for Kovács' debut album has been rocketing following stand out releases like 2014's wistful Szikra, last year’s mad party anthem Pantalón on Glasgow's Numbers imprint and the late night groove of Space Jam on Smallville Records.

On The Bells, Kovács pops open his trunk full of sounds nicked from the lost and found bins of nightclubs all over the world. From the distorted organ chords of BB to the stripped down trancehall beats of Josey’s Tune and Szív Utca and the title track's cinematic romanticism, it's all of the bells and all of the whistles - further positioning Kovács as one of the most characteristic producers of modern house music.

The record was completed in an intense two-week session with Kovács' great friend and studio engineer Matt Karmil in the winter of 2016. Another close friend, artist Malin Gabriella Nordin, has created the album artwork together with her brother Jonas.

Prompted directly by Kovács to give his report on the record, Studio Barnhus label boss Axel Boman had the following to say:

Kornél's bells will echo far beyond the nervous and trend sensitive ”dance" genre that our label sometimes is associated with, and into pop history. It’s one of our best, most innovative and creative releases to date, and the fact that one of my best friends has managed to do this on the label we share together makes me so proud that I want to cry. ”The Bells” is the reason I dreamed of starting a label in the first place.

Rhythm Section look to Poland once more for two of the most uplifting tracks of the year. Earth Trax (known for his productions as The Phantom & one half of Ptaki) and newcomer Newborn Junior pull two absolute classics out of the bag here that do what they say on the tin. Both Sax Track and Flute Track centre around ecstatic MIDI melodies on (you guessed it) Saxophone and Flute! Falling somewhere between the late night deep house excursions of Ron Trent (circa Morning Factory era) and more recent retro-leaning breakbeat driven output from the Pender Street Steppers et al, the Sax & Flute EP is a masterclass in sustain-release. Euphoria Guaranteed - or your money back!

Jesse Futerman - See Me Ride

We’ve mused before on the Valby sound, one which as their release schedule grows, remains reassuringly new, and stays assuredly close to our hearts. This is the first time https://soundcloud.com/tomvalbyrotary and https://soundcloud.com/louisfitton have passed over the reigns to a new face, welcome https://soundcloud.com/jeigomusic.

A suitably named track this one- iridescent keys catch your eye and beckon you over, rich and inviting; natural pearls can do that though. The track builds and smoulders over a two step rhythm, pushing it, and you forward. Follow the siren vocals and be guided by the shifting bass, such a composition can sometimes be hard to resist.

PREMIERE: Jeigo - Pearl Leaf [Valby Rotary]

After a few smatterings and teasing’s of his ability and musical nous via his own Valby Rotary, Thirty Year, Rodeo and a cameo on Seb Wildblood’s, All My Thoughts; @LouisFitton is back. This time on Radio One DJ, Rob da Bank's independent dance imprint, @Silver-Bear-Recordings with his stunning 5 cut record, 'Times Were Simpler'.

With the tracks title harking back to simpler times that have gone by, Louf aptly achieves fusing textures of nostalgia on to the characteristically steely twists and joints of his percussion. As the melody prevails, the metallic snares and accompanying nuances swing and envelop, ensuring the dance provides the engine beneath the full 8.02 minutes. Emblematic of Louf and his Valby compatriots style, the wistful mood of the track is at the centre of the tracks aura, emanating melancholic atmosphere that yet remains optimistic. If only times were simpler, eh.

PREMIERE: Louf - Times Were Simpler [Silver Bear]

Impressive, young producer Louf AKA Louis Fitton joins Silver Bear Recordings for the label’s inaugural 12” with his ‘Times Were Simpler EP’. ‘Polycarb’ is a track that just keeps building; every breakdown is more satisfying than the last, until it reaches its ultimate destination. Grooving snares set against counteracting, stabbing synth patterns, the track is driving from the word go and relentless in its mission.

EP Title: Good Afternoon Mr Magpie
Release Date: October 19th, 2018
Support it: https://waywardmusic.bandcamp.com/album/green-lanes-ep

London producer-duo, Wayward, are back after blowing us away with their marvelous "Good Afternoon Mr Magpie" EP. Wayward have a knack for bridging the gap between the dancefloor and the more soulful side of electronic music, with support across the radio airwaves from the likes of Giles Peterson on BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, KCRW, Beats In Space and Rinse FM. 

Wayward's most recent release, the "Green Lanes" EP is another milestone for the rising duo. The EP opener “Planets” (co-written with London producer Books) is a dance floor ready tune with a hypnotic bassline and the perfect amount of cowbell. “Maxi Love” brings the disco heat with an edit of a timeless classic, reinterpreted for late night escapades. On the B side, “Time and Again” is a breezy house banger and the closing track “Silver” is reminiscent of Wayward’s signature sound, blending samples in seamlessly with warm percussive elements.
