Exactly a century ago, George Gershwin made history with „Rhapsody In Blue“. A work that not only united jazz and classical music but also became a symbol of American (music) culture. Inspired by the blue notes which are typical for jazz, Gershwin chose the form of the rhapsody for his work. Without a fixed structure and with plenty of room for interpretation, he filled his work with the optimism and freedom that America stood those days.
Arrived in the year 2024, Chris Wayfarer adds a further note to the masterpiece. With the focus on central themes of the original, the artist brings the track to the dance floor. And so „Rhapsody For The Floor“ is melting house music, jazz and classical music with a four- four-time. A tribute to liberty and 100 years of Americas music history.

Molly continues to cement RDV’s reputation as a refreshing outlet for contemporary house with the expertly-curated Recit De Voyage Volume 2, a generous compilation that collects a number of established and upcoming producers to deliver vital, sincere and wholly individual music.

Leading the charge is Finale Sessions founder Michael Zucker, who follows his appearance on RDV's first release (as one half of the duo Prophets of a New Generation) with ‘City Streets’; having previously appeared on recordd with the likes of Terrence Dixon, Boo Williams and Norm Talley, he delivers his own nocturnal vision, a gentle and smooth soundtrack for warm Midwestern nights. Molly’s own contribution ‘Poble New’ follows, demonstrating her well-established mastery of tight grooves, atmosphere and subtle jack.

Douala, an artist associated with cult label Blorp, brings us ‘Orbiting’, a powerful slice of liquid funk. 
Modern House Quintet, presents ‘Plaka’, his first release away from his MHQ imprint, and arguably the record’s outright deepest moment. 
The founder of Popcorn Records, Siler ups the tempo for ‘French Manicure’, a playful, fizzy house bubbler.
Discovered at New York’s Elsewhere club during only his second-ever gig, John Silas represents the Eastern seaboard on irresistibly smooth cut ‘One Time’. 
Silas’s nocturnal groove leads in nicely to the more experimental, dense forest of sound forged by Kristian Amou & The Modern Quintet Ensemble on Bokobimbo. 

Finally, Orion hits with the MPC front-and-center for the undeniable groove of ‘Just Have You’, which rolls sensually towards a soulful vocal sample, culled from the dustiest of wax.

The unique and sonically explorative journey of Dokutoku Records continues, as the imprint unveils its first digital LP. Label head Katie Drover joins a cast of 6 extraordinary talents to deliver both warmth and verve on ‘The Embrace’. A collection of intimate musical spells that as the title suggests, will surround the listener in a serene tapestry of soothing sounds. The LP features beautiful pieces from French songstress Molly, Russian beat-smith Tripmastaz and British machine man 100Hz, as well as Portuguese producer Jorge Caiado, Spanish gun Julian Perez and Dubai based creative Nasrawi, alongside two immaculate offerings from Katie Drover herself. Delicate, sometimes low slung, but always encapsulating a deep, soulful elegance, these tracks meld a variety of sonic influences ranging from hip-hop and breakbeat to dub techno and ambient. This embrace is sure to be a lasting one, with a deeply emotive echo that captures an incredibly poignant moment in time.

This pivot toward a digital approach from a previously vinyl only label is an adaptation to the myriad of changes thrust upon the industry by this global pandemic. As venues and performance spaces continue to struggle with lockdowns and restrictions, the ability of artists to generate their income has been severely hampered. The ease of digital platforms is a welcome aid during this time, allowing artists to disseminate music to their fans in more economical and timely fashion. With all this in mind 100% of the profits from this release will go directly to the artists involved.
