PREMIERE:  Eric Louis -  AM Dubs [Devilish Affair / DA001]

devilish affair continues with some deeper, moodier sounds. Hazy Memory kicks off with rolling bass and evolving, bellowing dub chords, the light footed "Untitled" leans a bit more minimal, while Concrete Melody closes it out with chunky low end & a sprinkle of musicality.

Eric Louis returns to his own Devilish Affair with 4 dubbed out original cuts. Vinyl only, 180grams. 

In 2021, the New Jersey based producer & DJ launched his Devilish Affair imprint with the Adventures EP which was supported by many leading names in the industry. 

Eric’s story continues with a follow up to the label’s debut in the form of "Adventures Part 2.”

Drama’ leads the release and lays down a dynamic stab-led hook at its core while a bumpy vacillating rhythm, murky textures and low-end pulsations carry the ever-evolving groove throughout. ‘Café Dubs Part 1’ follows and dives deeper courtesy of sweeping atmospherics, expansive reverberations and airy pads running atop a minimalistic drum groove. 

‘Floating Away’ is up next and as the name would suggest offers a cosseting feel via ethereal, billowing pad lines, soft chord stabs, twinkling synth chimes and low-slung percussion. 

Closing it out, ‘School Yard’ then leans into darker realms with hazy, heavily reverberated stabs, hypnotic voices, crisp drums and choppy bass hits

Eric Louis - James Vincent - B2B Vinyl Set for Ibiza Sonica October 2023

The compilation "Get Together" enters a new round and gathers four artists to take a journey into electronic music together again. After the vinyl release with the original tracks by Maxie König, Dip, Ana Antonova and Cie, four remixers are joining the Get Together to interpret the music in a new way: Eddy Romero, Mar io, Eric Louis and Cie. Cie starts with the remix of "TenTen" and creates immediately a big groove with big basses, chords and illuminative sound waves, which leads us directly to the dancefloor. With Eddy Romero we then float into the dub techno air with the "Dezest" remix, and inventive chords and percussion sounds ensure a fantastic flight. It's like floating on clouds with the glittering strings and jazzy melodies that Mar io conjures up in his remix of "Naked Neighbour". 

The beat keeps pushing forward, where Eric Louis seamlessly picks up with his interpretation of "Haus Im Turm". The deep beat and the dubbed chords form a great conclusion to this wonderful journey that you want to embark on again and again.

Eric Louis conducts a demonstration of quantum musical projections.

Spirit Canyon Solo is more than just a performance. It's a true sonic spectacle for true fans of intergalactic dub techno. An express shuttle brings all the initiates to the delay mystery to get them illuminate the cultural and natural heritage of the planet Kepler-62e.

The best landscapes are selected to accompany this spatial audio. Benevolent authentic creations swoop around: from ubiquitous reverbs and rhythm section philosophy to extended chants and enriching overtone textures. The breath of life with its mysterious loops and neat melodic swaying inflates the uninhabited wasteland.

Cristina Lazic, Eric Louis - Wake Up [MOXY MUZIK]

Nearly anyone can produce a “pack” today but not everyone can pull one shots that came right from the actual sessions used to produce a sold-out vinyl EP which was also played by DJs such as Andrey Pushkarev, Evan Baggs, Ryan Elliott, The Pornbugs of Bondage Music, Tm Shuffle & others. 

Royalty free one shots & sounds were hand picked and exported from the Ableton project files with EQ & other processing to give you that “mix-ready” sound. Think of this as the best of what Devilish Affair label boss made plus the current sounds he’s into.

Along with one shots from the “Adventures” EP he’s added many other chords, basslines, pads and textures with the gear he’s using now consisting of Elektron boxes processed through a Mastersounds Radius 4 Rotary DJ mixer with the Mastersounds FX unit. The FX unit is has several different flavors of delay & reverb perfect for dub techno.

The audio file was a raw recording from a Pioneer DJS 1000 so the demo files were not mixed/processed in a DAW. The raw recording was run through Landr automated mastering.

Cristina Lazic - 21 Past 20 (Eric Louis Remix)

The ship smoothly passed through the protective field and docked on the landing pad. The vast complex, surrounded by a wasteland of mangled metal and scorched soil, was guarded by a multitude of faceless soldiers. The angular spires of watchtowers rose ominously and pierced the sky like the sharp teeth of an ancient leviathan. At the top was the command centre filled with rows of flickering monitors full of a staggering amount of data and records. Technicians bustled about to keep all systems and equipment running as normal.

As the cargo airlock opened, the mercenaries began moving crates and containers onto the pallet of a levitating forklift. Using holographic cloaks, the friends easily passed the guards and proceeded deep into the corridors and staircases. Around some corner, the laboratory space opened up in front of them, packed with shiny machinery and mysterious equipment. The sharp odour of ozone and rot permeated the air, and the operating tables were covered with the remains of failed experiments. A new generation prototype of a mutant soldier, a synthesis of mechanical enhancements and biomanipulation capable of conquering and exterminating entire planets, stared lifelessly from the platform in the centre of the room. Tubes and wires looped around its body, plugged into ports and connectors embedded in its flesh.

– Strange things have happened here.
– Definitely, Cat. If they complete this freak and start production, the world as we know it will end.
– We must do something to prevent that!
– Good thinking. Let's blow this damn place up!

Based in the NYC area, Eric Louis joins us for a journey of sonic memories from his time during Manhattan’s 2000’s nightlife. A frequent shopper at legendary record stores such as 8Ball and Satellite, he often came to find records he heard at Sound Factory & Danny Tenaglia’s Vinyl. This mix contains tracks from Faithless, X-Press 2, Victor Calderone & more. 

After starting to DJ himself in 2003, releases soon followed on labels such as Get Physical and Nervous. In 2021 he launched his own label Devilish Affair which focuses on dub leaning house & techno. As a new comer to vinyl, his first two EPs made it to the top of the sales charts at Decks.de and garnered support for artists like Truncate, Ryan Elliott, & Andrey Pushkarev. Eric is currently doing label showcases & gigs in Washington DC & Brooklyn.

Enjoy a near 6 hour set where we kick it off dubby to open up the room then venture into other sounds. Tracks from Devilish Affair make appearances here and there along with un-released material, rare vinyl only gems, & an occasional educating classic.

Ocean Floor

A circle is endless. There is no beginning and no defined end. And whilst there has been a beginning for Jannowitz Records, there is no foreseeable end whatsoever. That is why the Circle compilation could not fit better to the current situation of the Cologne based label. For this particular Compilation. Jannowitz main freaks BOHO selected artists and some banger tracks to celebrate the staircase to heaven that we are climbing at this very moment....

US underground DJ Eric Louis from New York contributes even two tracks (West Side Highway and Doorway To The Days) that contain exciting build ups, distorted patterns and hi-hats that give both tracks a dark and evil touch.

Doorway To The Sun

Nat Monday's Waiting - such an incredible vocal from the early 2000s which to me was the peak of progressive house - particularly the Creamer & K remix which I borrowed.  

This single found a home on many compilations like Global Underground Moscow mixed by the legendary Deep Dish.

I wanted to give this tune a second life in my collection so it was time for the un-official remix treatment.

Enjoy
