In the distance the sound of sirens roared through the night. The city was tossing and turning under the weight of he heat and the sky glowed a strange fruity shade of deep pink. Palm trees blew back and forth by the beach, they were taking in the last of the summer sun for soon it would be cold and dark. On the sand people gathered to watch the waves roll slowly in against the bay. Boats bobbed upon their great depth as the shouting began. 

Zen In Space is set to release a new EP on Moonshoe Records, his debut appearance on the up and coming record label. An imaginative and sun kissed deep groove.

PREMIERE: Zen In Space - Fourth&bak [Moonshoe]

Far Out Recordings presents a huge peak time space-funk excursion from Italian duo Ad Bourke & ROTLA (Raiders of the Lost Arp), with a remix from Chicago deep-house architect Ron Trent adding extra intensity to the aptly titled ‘RAW’.

Having confirmed themselves as Rome’s premiere polymaths for all things electronic and funky (with releases on Space Dimension Controller’s Basic Rhythm, Five Fold, Cinite, Tusk Wax and Really Swing) AD Bourke & Rotla’s musicality and altogether physical approach to sequencers, samplers, drum machines and synths, has seen plaudits from the likes of Dam Funk, Gilles Peterson, Benji B, Laurent Garnier, Jimmy Edgar, Martyn and Anthony ‘Shake’ Shakir.

Taken from their forthcoming album for Far Out, RAW gives you huge live drums, seriously deft rhodes noodling, and a galactic ocean of synth layers, making for a hyperkinetic yet altogether refreshingly organic, outer-national future-disco belter. 

Taking a similar approach to that of his recent remix of Azymuth’s Fênix (also on Far Out), Ron Trent takes RAW into harder territory, giving it an extra coat of slick, stripping back and tightening the original before adding his own layers of kaleidoscopic synth-lines and pad progressions.

DC Promo Tracks #321: "New Life" by Ed Longo & Applied Arts Ensemble is part of the release "The Other Fantasy" on Early Sounds Recordings @earlysoundsrecordings @edlongo

Buy Now: http://www.earlysoundsrecordings.com/?product=ed-longo-the-applied-arts-ensemble-the-other-fantasy 

Conceived with a strong jazz-funk, fusion and boogie sound it has been conceptualized around the idea that the schizophrenia of the internet-age, the visions of Otherness (the undiscovered lands, the primitive happiness, the impossible love) permeate the collective consciousness and the idealized “Other” loses any correspondence with the physical world.

The Breakfast Band - Tokyo Shuffle (MG TV THEME VERSION)

Jesse Futerman makes his Pacific Rhythm debut with a life-affirming slice of music lovingly crafted in Canada’s French quarter in the summer of 2019. On "Luckey," the Montreal producer reunites with his good friend Beverly Glenn-Copeland — a Canadian music legend whose keyboard-inflected outsider folk has been making waves across the world recently — and a cast of guest musicians for a song full of vibrant emotion and plush instrumentation, as Futerman works with an ensemble incorporating cello, saxophone, bass, and vintage hardware to great effect. 

There's a melancholy tinge to the swooning synths, but the infectious vocals and pitter-patter drums are uplifting and reassuring. "Luckey" is the kind of track that just radiates contentment, joy and gratitude — Futerman himself says he teared up laying down Justin Wright's cello, which gives you an idea of the vibes contained herein. 

The release also comes with a beautiful reimagining from Peaking Lights, who puts a dubbed-out spin on the track, like '80s post-disco via '90s Afro-cosmic Ibiza tracks, rounding off an EP whose classic touch and classy arrangements will surely elevate any individual who is Luckey enough to cross paths with it.
