Feels like some UK 88 Acid crossed-over with some Xtravangaza NYC House and it's a compliment / I love the video by the way (aside of Lepore appearance which is becoming quiet cliché as possible peek at NYC's clubbing life, even from another side of the pond, the rest of the cast & spontaneous dancers are topnotch), it alos made me think of Man Ray!

General Midi - Daft Funk

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF CVNT, a world where voguing dominates, and house in all its forms, past and present, ballroom to retro, is the musical language.

After a sterling debut in 2012, which included support from Hannah Holland (Batty Bass), JD Twitch (Optimo), Bok Bok (Night Slugs), Rushmore (House Of Trax), Severino (Horse Meat Disco) and voguing/ballroom legend Vjuan Allure, CVNT (aka Niall Connolly) is back with a brand new four track EP on Body Work, 'STATEMENT'.

"There comes a point in the life of all ballroom children where, if they want to become legendary, they must make their "statement". To make the progression from being a star, or a face at vogue balls, to being someone who is recognised for their talent. To build a reputation, to stake a claim on becoming an icon, every child must make their statement, and this is mine.

I don't walk balls, I make music for other people to walk balls to. So my statement is not a look, it is not face, or body or femme or a dance or a dip or couture: my category is music. My statement is right here in these tracks.

I'm not looking to simply ape the sounds of the New York legends - to be a true statement I have to stay true to who I am and where I come from. That's why I seek to fuse elements of British grime and garage to the New York ballroom template. In the end they are all forms of the genre we call House, and House music is what unites all the children, no matter what their category. With my statement I hope I am showing respect for the original legends while pushing things forward."

As well as being a talented producer and a popular DJ, Niall is also a highly respected writer and blogger, who has written articles on vogue/ballroom culture for Boing Boing, Red Bull Music Academy, Dalston Superstore and The Skinny, and is a regular contributor to the American alt-culture blog Dangerous Minds.

CVNT - Haunted Ballroom

Out now: https://orcd.co/REKIDS237 

"In a world full of copycats, 'Nightdubbing' is my attempt to look deeper within for inspiration. It's a dive into the influence that Dub, House, and Techno has had on me as an artist." - Monty Luke 

Succeeding part two of Monty Luke’s ‘Nightdubbing’ series on Rekids, the US-via-Berlin artist unveils an album of the same name on Radio Slave’s lauded Rekids imprint. ‘Nightdubbing’ encompasses the first two instalments and adds five more tracks of intricate sonic material, completing this gorgeous work of art already supported by Fred P, nd_baumecker, Louise Chen, and Laurent Garnier. 

Luke’s ‘Nightdubbing’ album starts in the club, with the rave-primed ‘40 Acres And A Terabyte’ utilising the rich melodies of deep house alongside the crushing weight of subs. It is followed by the title track, with ‘Nightdubbing’ taking a more traditional house route, its soothing sounds enveloping the listener while honing in on that reverb sweet spot. 

Black Catalogue boss and former Planet-E label manager Monty Luke’s timeless ‘Nightdubbing’ effortlessly traverses deep house and techno rife with bass-rattling low-end and experimental rhythms. It is no surprise, then, that the album is heavily inspired by ‘70s and mid-80s dub reggae, seeing Luke incorporate and modernise the genre’s iconic rhythms, spoken word poetry, and spacious bursts of harmony across the LP, particularly in tracks like ‘Cop Outside’ and ‘Travelling ‘Round The Sun’.

‘Bob Molly’ picks up pace with nods to Caribbean dem bow-like rhythms of old, Monty Luke filling the space between its infectious beat with tumbling percussion and echoing plucks. Tracks like ‘Supernova’, ‘New World / Old Future’ and ‘Starstorms’ return to the modern-day traditions of club music while ‘Gamma Raze’, ‘Future Mystic’, and ‘Roots’ again find room in between the dancefloor and sound system listening sessions. The ambient ‘Theme From Nightdubbing’ is another stand-out on the album, successfully leaving an opening to escape the world through music and making the mind wander via swirling melody and sparse drums.

MikeQ - The Master Blaster [128kbps Preview]

Bristol producer Boulderhead combines his affinity to minimalism with a range of influences across the club spectrum on Super Portal.

The minimal, breakbeat flaked Metamaterial opens before the stripped-out acid of the aptly named Wanna Go To A Party that evokes its title. On the flip, Super Portal combines broken bristol techno rhythms with a hypnotic driving synth while skeletal stepper Humons combines muted chords with skippy drums. Closing proceedings is Grooverider, a rumbling roller that succeeds in making a lot out of few elements.

‘Super Portal’ drops on Friday 30th April, via Running Out Of Steam.
