Your 2019 Playback

With release nr. 11, Luv Shack Records are once again eager to exalt the diversity of their releases, while keeping up the quality.

LUV011 is the split EP of the two up and coming electronic music duos "Manhooker" and "Space Echo". Whilst both projects are still relatively new to the scene, they have equally made a stir with their first releases.

Manhooker consists of the two Berliners by choice Tomasz “Guiddo” Switala and Sebastian “Mavin” Magassouba. Their first release appeared on Ostgut Ton´s sublabel 'Unterton' and their second EP was recently released on german heavy hitters 'Sonar Kollektiv' - a collab with ex New Yorker Snax, featuring a remix by Justus Köhncke.

With 'Pushin & Shovin', Manhooker are once again evoking the spirit of classic soulful house hymns. It's an uplifting mix of 90s organs, filtered arpeggios and thick drums all held together by an acid bassline and Mavin´s shimmering vocals. And not to forget the trumpet solo!

The remix of 'Pushin & Shovin' comes from Brazilian wunderkind ROTCIV (who has already remixed Manhooker on their Unterton release). He strips off the smoothness of the original in favor of a more raw and analogue vibe. Its groove seems like a merger of modern electro and classic house, and although ROTCIV´s trademark stabs and pads are used quite ecstatically on this remix, the song structure remains just as strong as in the original.

On The flipside we have Space Echo, the duo of Viennese producer caTekk and (Luv Shack`s very own) Lee Stevens. Their first ever production as a duo was a remix for none other than Austra on Domino Records.

They're offering two equally powerful cuts on the B-side; 'Soul Power' is nothing short of a club burner. A mighty and continuously building ride of funk organs and disco drums, all with a delightfully modern touch. When the vocal kicks in for the first time, ringing in the break, the audience will surely fall into a frenzy when exposed to it! The disco guitars are just the icing on the cake.

'Soul People' takes a slightly more sensual path. Expect dreamy rhodes, dubbed out percussive organs, an almost reggae worthy bassline, a painfully sweet vocal hook and a sharp rhythm that make this track a perfect choice for every warmup, after-hours and daytime set!

With all its ingredients, LUV011 will provide something for everyone who loves electronic music with soul!

Soul Clap’s mixes have become the stuff of legend amongst house heads in the know over the past few years - hence our excitement at them being revealed as the latest act to step up to deliver a Watergate mix - but their releases are equally coveted by discerning fans. For their latest party trick, the boys have come up trumps once again, readying the third instalment of their Dancing On The Charles compilation series.

Having originally arrived as a limited run of cassette tapes, 'D.O.T.C. Vol 3’ now lands digitally and features some of Boston’s most celebrated producers, with a mix of returning veterans and emerging artists contributing fresh cuts to represent their city.

Comprised of 10 tracks from friends both new and old, D.O.T.C. Vol 3 offers up names such as DT favourites John Barera and Jack Novin, Lee Wilson and  naturally label bosses Soul Clap themselves.

Our Debut Transmission today however comes from Boston's "Queen of the Underground" D-Lux. A long term fixture within the city's vibrant electronic music scene, 'Is It You' may be her finest work yet, channelling the sounds of the past for a funk laden slice of retrofitted disco with songstress Saucy Lady on vocals and D.O.T.C. alumni / FSQ member Chas Bronz on bass.

Stream 'Is It You' below and grab 'D.O.T.C. Vol 3' from November 20th.

Press text: 
After a busy summer, Bart&Baker are back with a solid package of tracks, remixed by the rising German producer Timo Jahns, who caused quite a buzz this year with his official release on Get Physical's sub-label Poesie Musik of an official rework of Sade's classic "Pearls". Timo has lent his magic fingers on two Bart&Baker tracks, featuring former Joe T Vanelli vocalist Pheel Balliana.

"Invincible" is a dark and sexy tune, while "Windows Of The World" is a more sophisticated entry in Bart&Baker catalogue.

Both tunes have been already selected by DJ Ravin from Buddha Bar for his forthcoming compilation.

Format: Download | Releasedate: 15.04.2016

The successor to Stee Downes' 2008 debut „All In A Day“ has been in the making for quite some time now. The anticipation couldn't be bigger therefore on the second album “The Bigger Picture”, which will finally see the light of day in July. To fuel these expectations even further Sonar Kollektiv releases a preliminary EP featuring three tracks to be found on “The Bigger Picture”.

Already with “Big Mistake” you can sense why it took Downes so long to bear his sophomore full-length set. The man doesn't want to tie himself down to just one single style of expression, but aims for a greater goal, to make the world a better place with songs so powerful and life-affirming nobody can't escape their magic. There's funk in it, lots of soul of course but also this kind of infectious pop appeal which leads – under normal circumstances – to the big, worldwide breakthrough. “Always On My Mind” orientates itself by the productions and collaborations Downes' fame and reputation has been built on over the last few years. You can call it soulful house music for grown-ups, if you need a label to it. And the third song off this optimism spreading EP, “All Over The World”, is another jaw-dropper, a true anthem of life, love and of course music. If the other songs from “The Bigger Picture” are only roughly as good as these three teasers, one can look forward to one the best albums of 2016.
