Early Jacker - Promessas EP

Percebes is releasing its third record since its inception in February, well before its first birthday. Bent on showcasing Portugal’s most talented “under the radar” producers and musicians, the new record is authored by one of the countries most well kept secrets: Early Jacker.
Early Jacker is famed music producer Hugo Vinagre, a master of disguise, who is also known as Miguel Torga or Turista. Vinagre has a detailed yet minimalistic approach to production As Early Jacker he explores pure underground House Music, inspired by a dubby take on the New York House school.
Hugo has performed everywhere in Portugal, from major festivals (Boom, Waking Life, Lisboa Electrónica) to all the top clubs (Lux-Frágil, Indústria, etc). But his music has only recently begun to get discovered by the outside world.
For Percebes, Vinagre has developed a full EP titled “Promessas”, with three originals and a remix. The first track, “The Promises You Break”, is a relentless chord groove caressed with sexy vocals, woven into a huge sounding sharp drum kit. There is clear pop sensitivity at work as the track is a real ear worm and works incredibly well in very different scenarios, from early night intro selections, to a full on dance floor banger option. Next comes “Dont Dub”, where Early Jacker skanks his way into the truest dub vibes, with a clear “Kingston meets Berlin” approach… hints of Vinagre’s taste for all things Rhythm & Sound are clear, both the perfect production and the smart sound palette reveal the track’s irresistible club appeal.
Flip side for “Set You Free”, a soulful hypnotic banger in true old school Deep Dish and Murk fashion, sounding like 2018 is a footstep away from 1994. It’s a real trip down memory lane for everyone who enjoyed releases from early WARP, Tribal, Pagan or Toko… like a crazy Red Zone Dub reworked by a top of his game Danny Tenaglia and mixed by Carl Craig as Paperclip People. The remix of the original is left to Lisbon’s own Hélder Russo (cult producer with brilliant releases on Groovement and Tomorrow Is Now, Kid! under his belt) who spins it on it’s head for a broken beat deep funk number that sounds like Prince, Dego and Kenny Larkin are having fun in the studio.
With four diverse cuts that are fun and addictive, and a laid back moody remix, Early Jacker’s “Promessas EP” is a must have for anyone who is serious about their true school deep house, mastered to perfection by label head Ka§par to work wonders on any dance floor, guaranteed.

Momentum Mix Oktober 2022

A mix of Metrohm and Laurent Garnier tracks... this of course combines very nicely.. :)

When Metrohm meets sir Garnier

Lisbon based producer and D], Joaquim Gonçalves is Ninguem, and he's been releasing music on credible outlets for years, particularly in some of the more deeply influenced, afro flavoured winning teams (Djeff Afrozilla's Kazukuta label or Oscar P's Open Bar Music to name a couple).

With Percebes, Ninguem has released two tracks - one for each volume of our compilations Produto Interno Bruto ( "Recpresent", a rap track featuring old school portuguese hip hop artist Bambino on vox as well as top rap DJ Kronic on cutting duties, and "Não Vou Af" - funk sleaze with a portuguese sounding composition twist, now reworked with a new mixdown and arrangement for this EP), and now "Passarinho" is his first full EP on his own for the label.

With four unique tracks, the EP is rich, diverse, and expertly translates a sense of identity and authenticity. It's a deep, rootsy, electronic yet extremely orchestral work. Straight dance floor material infused with dramatic and emotional compositions... Coherent and extremely ambitious.

- "Quatrovinte" opens as a relentless piece of afro-sounding mid tempo house deepness, a beatdown track with a smart time signature and rich composition, seriously sober production that...  more

Sabura Na Gaita Feat.Bdjoy & Gatupreto

@kerouaclive has been making tunes for 23 years now. Started off on a hardware setup and playing live performances. Had remixes out respected techno labels Hypercolour and Treibstoff. In 2016 he started a duo Kerouac & smile and their very 1st gig was Fabric room 1! This being the 1st time Kerouac had ever DJed! In 2019 he formed KRS Two, another duo. Which picked up loads of dj support on their tracks across the scene. 
Kerouac decided to go solo again at the end of 2021, resulting in an Ep for E-Numbers, a Bodymovement VA, and a track on Gene On Earth's Nug-net vinyl VA series.

Renva & Robbiee open a new chapter, welcoming Retrolog and Tim B for their debut on the label. Together, they deliver a 4-track EP honed to perfection.

The electro is tense and precise. Funk lurks beneath, almost disco, in bursts of bass and shimmering synths. An EP designed for the night. Elegant, precise, irresistible.

Marc Spence – Things Change EP [DDR002]
The second release on Dirty Dungeon Records pushes the label’s ethos forward: no rules, just groove. DDR002 brings four cuts that move between deep rollers, reflective moments, and raw experimentation — all designed for the floor.
From the upfront drive of Brand New, to the hypnotic depth of Decisions, the shifting textures of Things Change, and the left-turn chaos of Pantomime on the Double D Side, this EP shows the range of Dirty Dungeon without losing its centre of gravity.
Dirty Dungeon isn’t about following trends. It’s about groove. Stop expecting.

Things Change EP

Brand New

A1. Brand New (Original Mix)

“BE SOMEBODY” blends the bounce of Chris Lake, the attitude of Green Velvet, and the offbeat flavor of Walker & Royce. It’s a reminder that being yourself is the flex.

BE SOMEBODY (FREE DOWNLOAD)

This musical experience somehow naturally occurred during my travels all over the planet in 2012 while feeling the call to "stretch" and extent already existing songs, improvising with the intensity of sound as well as "letting the strings tell stories...“ 

During enormous amounts of sessions, which range from 1 hour to 5 hours I've seen and felt an incredible magic … it didn't matter where this experience took place. It has always been like a miracle. 

A transformation of thought into eternal smiling silence - at meditation festivals, yoga retreats, street festivals, concerts, mental institutes, elderly houses, small house gatherings and huge parties. 

I’m doing my best to stay with "this energy" no matter what surroundings are there, holding the space for those around to achieve a "flying experience" - at times it is very challenging yet always beneficial. 

I still have no idea what I do during these sessions, as it seems indeed, just holding a guitar, as it becomes much more than music - and its not about the music - and surely its not about me - but all that is involved in the process - either visible or invisible. 
Within this recording I tried to keep the original energy. 
Though surely it is never the same as it could be experienced Live! 
With all love ♥

Internal Flight (Remastered)

Eddie Merced is one of those artists whose sound speaks on a universal level. The Connecticut DJ and producer has honed a strain of techno and house that matches driving rhythms with richly melodic machine soul. As legendary French techno pioneer Laurent Garnier testified, “Eddie is one of the (too) rare producers these days that are keeping deep, soulful techno music alive.”

The key to the authenticity in Merced’s whole approach lies in the roots of the sound, tracking everything back to its source to understand where house and techno have come from in order to better take it forward. Merced’s life has been immersed in music since soaking up his dad’s love of freestyle and early 80s electro and heading off on his own voyage of exploration. From an affinity for soul, funk and disco through to the full spectrum of electronic music new and old, Merced’s appetite for sincere expression has been fuel for his own sharply-focused music. 

He established R4808n as a platform for his creative vision, framing the epic scope of his synth-rich production with the alluring intrigue of clandestine mysteries both of this earth and beyond. Elsewhere, Merced’s productions have been recognised and carried by scene-leading labels like Upon.You Records and Marco Bailey’s MB Elektronics, Yousef’s Circus Recordings and Brothers’ Vibe’s iconic New Jersey house imprint Mixx Records. His breakthrough release From Within, which also gives his Bloop London radio show its name, was carried by Gabcat back in 2016. 

As a DJ, Merced has played across the US, in the UK and mainland Europe, bringing a hi-octane energy to dancefloor settings, while his radio shows and studio mixes make space for slower, more introspective sounds that round out his musical identity. At all times, he keeps a handle on that vital deep techno, Detroit-inspired soul element that marks out his music. It’s a cohesive approach which has rightly drawn support from such respect luminaries as Colin Dale, Karotte, Ken Ishii and Claude Young Jr, while Carl Cox famously worked stems from Merced’s track ‘Tri-State Hustle’ during a hybrid live set at Ultra Music Festival 2022. 

True to techno’s origins as a fusion of technology and soul, Eddie Merced’s mission lies in the depth of his expression and the places he can take you - his is deeply rooted music heading into the future, reaching skywards as it hits you deep within.

Testimonials:

"Eddie is one of the (too) rare producers these days that are keeping deep soulful melodic Techno music alive. Been a big fan of his productions since day one!" - Laurent Garnier

“Eddie is a super talented DJ - producer who I noticed works really hard at his craft and at the moment is on an upward trajectory with some amazing production and captivating DJ sets under his belt. Definitely one to watch!” - Colin Dale
