Yup.. that's a nice track. I'll grab this.

We've all been without over the last year but we've not been without good music. You can take away the dance floor but the drums keep on beating, the keys keep on playing and Dennis Quin and Edwin Oosterwal will keep on making prime time, thoroughbred, true-to-the-craft house music.

Two sides, two stories - as is always the case with these two long-time sparring partners - 'Without You' takes off where 'Piano Occasion' left us in 2019. A little more sincere and poignant in its hook but just as bubbly as it rekindles a classic sound that's rooted in Italo but super-charged by NYC.

The US influences run deep on 'Apollo', too. Bold as brass; the drums hit with Vasquez or Romero muscle while the subs, subtle chords and those cascades on the fills all smack like a Van Helden or Todd Terry b-side dub from back in the day. Total, unashamed pumping. Just like we all will be when the good times roll again.

PREMIERE: Crazy P 'Cruel Mistress (Hot Toddy Retro Mix)'

One UK’s most underrated DJ’s in Bonar Bradberry has long been a respected DJ and producer in his own right on the underground scene. After lying about his age and beginning to play sets at clubs he wasn’t legally old enough to attend it wasn’t long before he began to win residencies at some of his native Birmingham’s hottest nightspots before setting off for Leeds and becoming involved with the notorious Asylum party where he shared a booth with some of the industry’s key figures like Gilles Peterson, Jamie Jones and Ricardo Villalobos.

Since then it has been onwards and upwards for Bradberry, firstly beginning work with 2020 Vision which has now become one of the scenes most respected independent labels before in 2007 starting to produce records himself both as a solo artist and with a series of collaborations with fellow ex-Play Music record store staff such as Paul Woolford and Matt Playford.

Now with a formidable back catalogue of his own including releases on 2020 Vision, Red Music, Future Classic and Under The Shade as well as producing remixes for some of the scenes coolest and most names such as Crazy P and Bernard Fevre. Bonar has quickly become an artist hard to ignore.

Bonar Bradberry - Ain't Me(Spirit Catcher Remix)

Its a swift return to his label, as an artist, for Edwin Oosterwal. Having seen his Dub mix of Daniel Dubb’s ‘Rain & Rhythm’ stand tall as a favourite for many on April’s Remix package, this time the Rejected boss takes centre stage with his new double-header ‘Vamp’ / ‘Get On’.

With Edwin personally drawn to the more minimal and repetitive side of electronic music, its no surprise to find that the title track ‘Vamp’ is not only named after a repeating musical figure, but also takes a simple, uncluttered and yet wholly effective musical form. Deep, delicate and completely hypnotic, ’Vamp’ is a fantastic dancefloor tool.

From deep and delicate to bold and bouyant. Get On, our B Side, is equally non-fussy with its bulbous bassline and repeated vocal. Primed for some playful looping, Get On is set to become the DJ’s favourite friend.

PREMIERE : Amadou & Mariam - Bofou Safou (Henrik Schwarz Remix) [Because Music]

Oosterwal is digging deep into the foundations right now. Hot on the heels of Dance Mania homage ‘Bleep’, the Rejected co-boss remains focused on the roots with two more Chicago-esque floor-heaters that nod to the seminal indelible legacy of Trax in their stark, direct ways.

‘Elasticity’ is a visceral and robust construction where the angular bass hook is constantly modulating and articulating, mirroring the drum elements. As well as tapping into the warehouse-crumbling sounds of Hardy, it could also be likened to ‘Erotic Discourse’ with its metallic oscillations. A powerfully lean piece in isolation or a show-stopping mixing tool, either way, ‘Elastic’ can stretch minds at 50 paces.

Everything you need to know about ‘Let There Be House’ is hinted in the title. The quintessential sound of the mothergroove boiled down to its core groove fundamentals. Humanised rhythm hits, sexy rim-shots, staccato claps and a rubber ball bassline that disappears and bounces back with even more funk on every section... This sings to every generation with a universal groove soul and a hook that sits so well in pretty much any mix combination you can dream up. Let there be more... Soon.

British duo Wayward continue to build momentum on the Silver Bear imprint with their new 'Good Afternoon Mr Magpie' EP, which features a dreamy and emotive title track that plays with intricate rhythms and immersive atmospherics. 

About the release, Wayward had the following to say: “'Good Afternoon Mr Magpie' sparked the start of a song-writing period that formed the sound of the EP. It was written in a barn nestled in a remote Valley in the South West of England with little contact to the outside world.  We liked how it mixed organic, live and electronic sounds and textures together. As for the EP title, there was a picture of some birds on the wall, maybe Magpies maybe not… but that’s where that came from."

The five-track 'Good Afternoon Mr Magpie' EP is out now.

The Rebirth

Oniris - The Rebirth feat Pat Brooks [Bedrock Records]

Every occasion is a piano occasion when the players know what you want…

After his spring smash ‘Take You There’, Dutch doyen Dennis Quin returns to Rejected with two more dancefloor tonics for two very different times of the night. This time he has hooked up with label co-owner Edwin Oosterwal and you can really hear and feel both players distinctly in the mix.

‘Piano Occasion’ will tickle your innermost keys with its timeless, unhurried build. A little filtered, a little Italian, a little UK; Quin and Oosterwal subvert the archetypal house blueprint with their own flow, momentum and sheer moments of bliss. 

‘Synth Seller’ is the ultimate key change. Strident, hooky, broader than broadway: its stately bounce and waspy metallic riff fuse in a neat tech hybrid that kicks to a house heartbeat. Don’t get high off your own synth supply… Get high off Dennis and Edwin’s. Time to mark the occasion.

A lifelong student at the school of Dance Mania, deft in the dialogue of machine soul: Edwin Oosterwal is driven by timeless soul-laced house and techno. Rooted in the fundamental elements, he’s been entrenched in sonic science since his residency at one of The Netherlands’ longest standing club nights: Basic Grooves.
 
A DJ first and foremost, with over 20 years of stripes to his name including residencies at iconic Amsterdam clubs Trouw and Studio 80 and past performances at key festivals such as Awakenings and Mysteryland and world class clubs from Fabric to Panorama Bar, his ability to fuse between house and techno hits with an insatiable jacking energy. He has a knack of weaving stark stripped-back troughs and dizzying physical peaks; a dark art that’s reflected in everything else he does…

As a label co-boss behind Rejected and Green (imprints he founded with friend and fellow groove craftsman Joris Voorn), the output is characterised by direct dancefloor tracks laced with longevity and strong sense of groove. Releases come courtesy of an array of respected acts ranging from Josh Butler to Steve Rachmad via Ian Pooley, Michel De Hey and of course Edwin himself who has developed a centre-stage role in the label’s output in recent years.

Initially emerging as a producer in the mid 2000s, Edwin’s taken his time to truly hone his craft and steadily build a sonic signature that flexes from deep subtlety to visceral body-shifting energy with an elasticity that resonates through house, techno and all the artful shades between and has been supported by the likes of Loco Dice, Eats Everything and Kölsch. Whether it’s his exciting dub techno project States Of Flux with Roland Klinkenberg or his solo work, his releases shimmer with an ageless aesthetic that’s coded deep into everything he does from the all-out Chicago-style tone hypnosis of ‘Bleep’ to the iced-synth mysticism of ‘Vamp’ via the stately jacks of ‘Elasticity’ and beyond.

Now adding to his roles as DJ, artist and label owner, Edwin can also be spotted broadcasting on Amsterdam radio station Radio Nachtlab with a monthly two hour session Time To Jack. Another way to express his passion for machine soul and his dexterity as a DJ, Edwin’s quest for timeless soul-laced house and techno continues…
