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!

When producer Tomasz “Guiddo” Switala and vocalist Sebastian “Mavin” Magassouba join forces in the studio or on stage, they go by the witty yet catchy name Manhooker.

They have a remarkable reputation in Europe’s music capital Berlin where they performed in the fabled Berghain and successively released on Ostgut Ton’s sublabel Unterton.

Luv Shack Records aquired one of their tracks for upcoming release LUV011 and in the wake of this collaboration we asked the duo for a contribution to the Luvcast mix series.

What we got is a wonderful ride through Manhooker`s musical cosmos: hip-house classics, disco/hip-hop jams, acid and deep house. All tracks were lovingly selected by both Mavin & Guiddo and mixed by the latter. Enjoy!

LUVCAST 010: MANHOOKER

There are only a few record labels that conquered the last sixteen years harmlessly. And even less of these still have a considerable impact across a broad front nowadays in 2013. This success is being celebrated this fall at the Sonar Kollektiv Festival '13 in Berlin. 

The festivities are now available as a hand-tight supporting document in form of a sixteen-track-strong, limited and special festival compilation, “Sonar Kollekting Vol.1”. These sixteen tracks provide an appetizing overview about what Sonar Kollektiv stands for these days and displays the wide spectrum of musical styles. There are amongst others the label's biggest hits of the last two years: FETSUM's "Letter From Damascus", The White Lamp's "Make It Good" and Alex Barck's "Re-set". 
Barck's just released debut solo album “Reunion” also spins off “Doubter” (in a Hannes Fischer remix). Another teaser is served with “White Walls” off the upcoming debut album “Lux” by  Paskal & Urban Absolutes. Of course Neve Naive can't be missed on this showcase neither. How sophisticated their album "The Inner Peace Of Cat And Bird" from earlier this year is shows the song "How I Learned To Fly" impressively. A rather surprising contribution comes from Jah Wobble & PJ Higgins with “Watch How You Walk”. But this track, as well as the according album by the London based postpunk and world music legend, will also be released on the Berlin quality imprint very soon. 

The collection would definitely not be complete without tracks by Hot Coins (“New Beat” in a Ron Basejam remix), the latest signing, Manhooker & Snax (“Cloud 9”) and the re-discovered Berlin folk jazz band from 1981 Spinning Motion (“Confidence In The Future”), soon to be reissued by Notes On A Journey.

And there's even room for specials & exclusives that haven't been released on Sonar Kollektiv yet,  like “Stuck” by Mao, Travis Lee's “Take You Away” (coming 2014) , “Blue Waters” by Rockford Inc., Stee Downes' “Caught Up” (from the upcoming album!) and “I Hope” by Beaux Sunchazah.

A compilation rich in variety at the highest musical stage and a valid evidence for Sonar Kollektiv's on-going claim to be one of the main places to go to for good music that works in clubs as well as at home. On the next sixteen years!

Piotr Bejnar, known from his eccentric live-acts, after the series of releases for Mo's Ferry Productions has opened his own label Otake Records. The label lends its name to the statement “Otake Polske walczyłem” announced by Lech Wałęsa following the fall of communism in Poland. The title track tells a true story. Piotr uses an allegory of a dog which fell in love with his neighbour living vis-a-vis. DJ MO – who collaborates with Recognition Records – is one of the performer on this piece. The record also contains three tremendous remixes from: Dapayk, Kasp (member of Pol_On) and Sroczyński (Recognition Records).

Guiddo w/ Georges Perin - One Last Bite

Remix and additional production by Tomasz Guiddo

Alphabetical - Rusted Gold (Guiddo Remix)

Format: Download | Releasedate: 17.07.2015

It was late last fall when “Walk On”, the sophomore solo album by musical allrounder Arnold Kasar came out. Now, almost a year later, five of the twelve album tracks have been reworked and remixed over the last few months by a selected armada of DJs and producers from within or with close bonds to the Sonar Kollektiv family circle. 
The selection of these reconstructors here at work couldn't have been more diverse and hence more thrilling. Starting with Polish producer Guiddo (one half of the Sonar Kollektiv act Manhooker) carving “Dawning” – in the vocal as well as in the instrumental mix – into a Balearic gem straight out the mid-eighties. 
Also closely connected to Sonar Kolletiv for quite some time now is Moscow producer and whiz kid Phil Gerus, currently based in Tokyo. Previously known for his chillwavy, glitch downbeat, this time round Gerus turns “Dance To The Mallet” into a proper house tune with the common breakdown and 808 hi-hats. The same track has also been reworked by Pitto from Utrecht, Japanese producer Kazuki Yamaguchi aka Kez YM and Venice based DJ/producer Albert Marzinotto. Contrary to Phil Gerus, Pitto hauls Lisa Bassenge's (singer of the legendary Sonar Kollektiv act Micatone) voice completely to the foreground and accompanies her with vibes and a pulsating beat. It's in the same fashion Marzinotto gets to work, but his remix is directed more openly to the dancefloor, equipping it with a Chicago House aesthetic. Kez YM's remix pushes back Bassenge's vocals again, using them primarily as an euphoriant effect in this choicest deep house track.
On the other hand the remix for “Gone” by Robot Koch has nothing to do with club music. Here it's Arnold Kasar's voice duetting with Susan Pawlak which is sprinkled very cautious into  Koch's sombre dub electronics. For “So-Called Lover” we have Paskal & Urban Absolutes, Al Lindrum and Tubbe contributing three fantastic remixes. Whereas the one by Tubbe only partly uses the original material as a template, but still succeeds to deal fairly with Kasar's lyrics and therewith conjures almost a new song up out of nothing. To close this remix package rich in variety Paul “Snax” Bonomo attaches a finale like a thunderbolt. His remix (BonomoLeMagass) for “Masquerade” (somehow connects all the loose joints of every form of house music of the last 30 years. That's why there's also the dub version included, paying tribute to Acid House furthermore. This alone is worth the purchase of this brilliant collection.
