Continuing the slew of releases on Roy Davis Jr.’s Undaground Therapy Muzik imprint, Italian artist Nico Lahs is set to release his Holy Day EP on the label this May. Following on from Men From The Nile and Turquoise Colored French Tourists, Lahs has created a classy four tracker EP to move your body and soul.
 

"Holy Day represents for me the celebration of life. It's a journey through the good moments of life that I decided to stop and frame in this EP. I wanted something that was both enjoyable on the floor and for simple listening, even at home, and could elevate the spirit”. Nico Lahs

Bringing emotion to the forefront of each track, the EP seamlessly blends balearic vibes with soulful Chicago house. Crunchy percussion and rhythmic jazz filled grooves open the EP in the form of Bossa Rhythm. Title track Holy Day is a hypnotic, dreamy offering catapulting the listener to a sun-drenched landscape. Moonlight and Sunday Morning continue with the dopamine hit as loose and funky grooves weave throughout.

Nico Lahs aka Nicola Loporchio is a sound engineer, DJ and producer and has been creating emotive deep house since 2009. A consistent and impressive musical output has resulted in Lahs releasing on labels including; Ovum Recordings, Adeen Records, Delusions of Grandeur, Metamorphic Recordings, Dailysession Records and Moods and Grooves among others. Lahs can also be found gracing the club scene at a number of prestigious clubs including; Cable, Club der Visionaere, Djoon, KaterHolzig, Rex Club, Sankeys, and Tresor. As an artist that is continually experimenting and pushing his musical boundaries, Lahs can also be found under the Cosmic Garden and NLXLB aliases.

Still on and about after years of the most intense crate digging, gem mining, desperate head-scratching and avid schooling, thirsty as ever for the next musical thrill to wrap our ears and brains around, here comes the fruit of our life-long love story with Japanese electronics, Denshi Ongaku No Bigaku Vol. 1 and Vol.2. From the soul-fulfilling first crush felt upon hearing the iconic soundtrack of ‘Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence’ by Ryuichi Sakamoto onto our release of Inner Science ‘Cosmo Tracks’, through the life-affirming sets of Laurent Garnier at Dijon’s seminal club, l’An-fer, which have at all times nurtured and expanded our taste for Easternmost delicacies, the influence of Japanese music on our vision and endeavours was paramount to the development of our catalogue, whether directly or indirectly. 

On this second volume, focus is laid on the boogier side of Japanese sonics, nimbly moving the cursor from jazz to Afro-house, via deep technoid wares and spaced-out funky business. Setting the tone without further ado, Seiji Ono’s sun-streaked chugger ‘Celebrate Your Life’ is the very epitome of a time-proof party anthem; a buoyant and catchy ode to Larry Levan’s Paradise Garage that keeps on giving even after the thousandth listen. A dynamic ride down memory lane, Uyama Hiroto’s Afro-Bossa number ‘Compass’ delivers a suspended moment in time, halfway the soothing ethereality of Brazilian folk and syncopated patterns of African music. Up with the very much sub-Saharan-influenced ‘Pray’, J.A.K.A.M. takes us on a luminous ride across endless dunes of sand and lush oases of melodic abundance and polyrhythmic flair.

Yuu Udagawa turns in the jacking ‘We Float’, a proper NYC-style piece of abstract hip-hop and Chicagoan house laced into one lithe dance-floor churner, whereas Jazztronik summons ancient woodlands spirits on the kalimba-heavy ’Neon Forest’, ushering us into a world of pure soulfulness where ghostly silhouettes float in a haze of shakuhachi flutes and vaporous pads. We all know a classic slab of piano house done the right way is hard to resist, but when Brisa opts for this tried-and-tested route on ’State of Mind’, he nevertheless injects it with the kind of refinement and oomph you simply have to bow down before. The Backwoods remix of Ryoma Takemasa ‘Deepn’’ opens a spacious window that looks out onto a dreamy skyscape where the stripped-back rhythmic grammar of atmospheric techno rubs shoulders with that of electronica’s deep focus.

Not just contributing the aforementioned remix, The Backwoods - alias DJ Kent, steps up with the big-room momentum of ‘Cloud Nine’ - an alt-rock-influenced piece of racing electronics bound for ecstatic after-partying and beachside boogie with your loved one at sunrise. In the hands of Hiroshi Watanabe, 909state ‘RaTaTaTam’ morphs into an entrancingly beautiful mix of slo-burning prog techno and neo-classical orchestration, just as sleek and elegant as it proves deadly in a club context. Graced with similar melodic accoutrements, Satoshi Fumi’s rework of Tomi Chair ‘Remorse’ offers a grandiose and mood-enhancing display of piano-riddled techno bravura, clearly geared up for climactic DJ use. A magmatic finale that lacks neither that stadium-sized oomph, nor Fumi’s hallmark of all-around compositional excellence.

Freaky Show

14 Nasty girl Remix

Founded in 1988, Dopewax Records has been the celebrated work of 4-time Grammy nominee, Kenny Dope. At the time it was given to him by Frank Mendez of Nu Groove Records, one of the most ground-breaking Deep House labels ever to usher in the genre as we know today, it paved the way for Kenny's musical vision to take shape.

We've appreciated him for his solo productions, including The Bucketheads breakthrough monster 1995 hit, “The Bomb (These Sounds Fall Into My Mind).” We've revered him for his success with Louie Vega on projects like NuYorican Soul and Masters At Work (MAW). At one point or another, every single club on this big blue Earth has had at least one of his countless productions, either original or highly-sought after remixes for Michael Jackson, Daft Punk, Luther Vandross, Madonna, R. Kelly, Shirley Bassey, The Jackson 5, DJ Gregory, and/or Aaliyah, booming out of their stacks. His imprints, Kay-Dee and Dopewax Records have seen hundreds of original tracks. Thousands of DJs and producers have used his drums patterns or at the very least have been inspired by them. The sets at his weekly worldwide bookings or on his resident mixshow on Rinse FM UK, are never the same twice and have reached millions of listeners, hitting
far-reaching corners of the globe.

It's no wonder Kenny Dope has been on the forefront of Dance Music for at least the past two and a half decades and was most recently named one of DJ Magazine UK's Pioneers of Dance Music, in its 2016 25th Anniversary issue.

While his sister label Kay-Dee Records incorporates a wide range of Hip Hop, Latin, Jazz, Funk & Soul, Reggae, Alternative Pop and broken beats, and other revamped classics, Dopewax Records focuses mainly on Dance-oriented productions. However, Kenny doesn't ever want Dopewax to be stuck in just one lane. In the wake of the explosion of electronic musical genres, there are a lot of colors to choose from within. From techno, to deep house, to soulful, to tech house to straight up House. If it involves a set of decks and a room full of people dancing, that's the audience he reaches.

The true essence of Dopewax is that it's always been about the quality vs. quantity of releases and never catering to a disposable trend. Over the years, the label has amassed tens of thousands of fans while remaining relevant and tapping into a whole new generation who are discovering its music for the very first time.

In 2012, Dopewax welcomed V.P. Tracy Morales, who had been Operations Manager for all things Kenny Dope and Label Manager of its sister label, Kay-Dee Records. She envisioned a more artist-driven repertoire for Dopewax, whose electronic-based catalog was surging to new heights. With releases and collabs already out by such artists as the Brand New Heavies, Julius Papp, Cassio Ware, Kim English, Terry Hunter, Byron Stingily, to which Kenny also put his spin on, Dopewax saw its first Top 10 Billboard Club hit "Be Your Freak" by Kenny Dope and Josh Milan, bringing it to its next phase. Upcoming releases by even more revered and rising singer/songwriters and producers alike, such as Benji Candelario, Robert Owens, Tommy Bones, Man Without A Clue, Ant LaROCK, Greco (NYC), Sterling Ensemble, Gomi, and many others, have been launched with the intent to break House sound barriers and give fresh new quality talent the exposure they deserve.
