Fell in love with this at the first second, beautiful <3

Mangabey - Time For You & Me (Disco Edit)

The 40 Thieves turn up in Leng’s back garden for a bit of late night skullduggery. Kicking off with 'Backward Love', a deep wobble of dub guitars, weird out FX, large 80's synth lines and lovely throbbing bass, more than enough to get people freaky. 

As expected, a meaty joint of late night disco, for the murkier end of the dance-floor. We hear an album is on it's way and if it matches the quality of this release then we've got a veritable treat on it's way.

40 Thieves - Backward Love

Artist: Nebraska
Title: Rye Lane Rhythms EP
Release Date: 23rd March (Vinyl) / 30th March 2015 (Digital) Format: 12” Vinyl / Digital
Cat No: DOG43 / DOGD43

Nebraska is someone who’s tracks we’ve been loving for a good few years now and finally managed to pin him down for a release here on Delusions Of Grandeur. The UK producer is something of an enigma, and despite some amazing releases on Rush Hour still remains resolutely underground and seems to keep his releases to a minimum, focusing on keeping the quality high rather than flooding the market with average material. Once again, he brings the real deal with three drum-heavy warehouse jams to nice-up the dancefloor.
Aw-right (Mute Version) sets the tone with a raw house groove that keeps things stripped to the bare minimum. A bouncing bassline and rattling percussion break help to define the track but it’s the dusty, dubby approach to the mix which really makes the track shine.
Next up we have Warp And Weft, a similar sounding track but by dropping the BPM’s Nebraska has created a sublime low-slung, bumpy groove to really move to.
Flipping over we’re treated to the brilliant Eighty Eights which will have you nodding your head like the Churchill’s dog before you can say ‘looped up piano and bass one bar groove repeated for over eight and a half minutes shouldn’t work should it?’

Prins Emanuel - Ivys Boogie (Permanent Vacation 4)

Four. It's a powerful little number. Four chambers of the heart, four horsemen of the Apocalypse, four points of the compass, four kickdrums to the bar. And now the number of instalments in Permanent Vacation's compilation series, the latest of which features exclusive tracks from the likes of Young Marco, Man Power and Benedikt Frey.

Permanent Vacation 4 is "dedicated to the more beachy side of the dance floor", and we're premiering Alex Burkat's 'Brooklyn Bridge', one of the standout tracks. The New York-via-Philly producer - who's released on imprints such as Mister Saturday Night and 100% Silk - certainly feels right at home here with this dreamy house offering.

The curtain is drawn back to the sound of gentle harps, before the track kicks off properly with punchy drums and an effortlessly bouncy bassline. But the star is Burkat's incredible melodic touch, with a whole series of juicy synth lines competing for your attention.

It would be fair to say that Leng co-founder Paul “Mudd” Murphy is a born collaborator. Since first donning the Mudd alias at the dawn of the century, Murphy has released numerous collaborative albums and singles with regular collaborators Ben Smith (as Smith & Mudd) and Kevin Pollard (Mudd & Pollard), as well as playing a key role in “super-groups” Paqua and Bison.

“Susta”, which marks his first single on Leng since 2009, sees Murphy add some new names to his growing list of collaborators. It was made in cahoots with singer/songwriter David Harks, a regular Satin Jackets collaborator who also appeared on Jack Cutter’s superb “Serpent Strut” cut on Murphy’s Claremont 56 label.

“Susta” is a bubbly, evocative and ear-pleasing chunk of mid-tempo nu-disco pop featuring lead vocals from Jaanika Leino AKA JaneLy – a former X-Factor Finland contestant whose sultry and evocative voice simply soars above Murphy and Harks’ sparkling, life-affirming instrumentation. Rich in twinkling synth solos, rich Clavinet lines, chugging arpeggio lines and eyes-closed piano, “Susta” is a strong song that will squat inside your head and stay there for days. Our advice is to welcome it in – it’s as joyous and life-affirming a track as Leng has ever released.

It’s accompanied by a predictably strong remix by British electronic music veteran Andrew Meecham (Bizarre Inc, Chicken Lips etc.), who dons the now familiar Emperor Machine alias to deliver a dub for the ages. Combining his own analogue and modular electronics with snippets of Leino’s vocal and some of the warmest instrumentation from Murphy and Harks’ original mix (think Clavinet and Rhodes for starters), Meecham offers up an epic slice of electronic dub disco that bubbles away for ten mesmerizing minutes. It’s a superb interpretation of a high quality cut. The digital download edition features a full Vocal remix and Instrumental take on Meecham’s Dub mix that’s every bit as off-kilter and alluring.

deep, jazzy remix of erlend øye's "ghost trains" completed on 10-3-09. I've never heard the original, but this is how i felt it would sound like.

Originality and quality lie at the heart of Delusions of Grandeur’s catalogue.

Regardless of genre, label heads Tom Roberts and Jamie Odell AKA Jimpster have maintained an output of the highest calibre since their inception back in 2009.
