Devendra Banhart: Golden Girls (Hauschka Remix)

We are proud and extremely humbled to present to you our very first release, "Unveiled" by rising German starlet "Phil".

Phil is based in Mainz not to far from Frankfurt home to the legendary club Robert Johnson. An astute music connoisseur who selects every instrument he uses with care and caresses every tone as if his life depended upon it. On listening to the three original tracks served up by Phil you instantly get a feel for this young artists character and musical vision. Also a very keen vinyl enthusiast it is no surprise that Phil has landed an internship at Freebase Records.

We welcome Phil into the Steppers & Sleepers family and look forward to working with him again in the near future.

On Remix duty we have [anon.] label and Othertones Records Co-owner, Dan Farserelli who needs no introduction. The Londoner is an integral part of the cities underground scene, and one of few who can say they have played in all three rooms at fabric and we hope you enjoy his Tresor style remix of "No Surroundings".

Coming Soon

Phil - No Surroundings (Dan Farserelli Remix) [Preview]

Frits Wentink launches his new label Bobby Donny with ‘Live Fast, Dwayne Young’.  Bobby Donny has been set up to primarily feature Frits Wentink’s own tracks, but focusing on the wonkier, more lo-fi house edge of his sound.  The emphasis will be on tracks that are hardware jams on Rhodes, Juno 60 or mpc, then structured later. 

His first EP on Bobby Donny opens with ‘Dwayne Young’, which puts the fun into funky with its deep vibe, filtered vocals and creative samplings.  Slowing it down, ‘Rio’ is next, like a short but sweet interlude of off-kilter slow-mo experimentation.  Then it’s back to the grooving house beats of ‘Guacamole’ with its jazzy backbone, before the melodious ‘Q&A’ kicks in, featuring a gorgeously wobbly overtone.  ‘Aquarelle’ is a perfect ending, with distorted elements gradually coming together to find their harmonious compromise.

With ‘Live Fast, Dwayne Young’ Frits Wentink once again displays the hugely creative talents of this much sought after producer.  It’s released on vinyl and digitally 22nd June.

Devendra Banhart performs "Mi Negrita," from "Mala," his eighth studio album and his Nonesuch debut, due out March 12, 2013. The album took shape in Los Angeles, where he and longtime cohort Noah Georgeson produced the album together, playing most of the instruments themselves, using borrowed equipment and a recorder they’d found in a pawn shop.
