Proper Heat - For The Love

In 2011 and 2012 our Lithuanian wonder crew "Proper Heat" delivered a fine collection of disco-tinged, adult-pop singles and a fine album. Roll on to 2014 and our trio are back, on Nang... all guns blazing. First up is the new single "For The Love". If you feel like a summer-days video to show the single off then head here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCbax8mQVGE)

Proper Heat are an exquisite alliance of three musicians deeply mad about jazz, house, disco and electronics. Karolis Ramoška, Martin Virgin & Saxtone. Here they are joined by drummer Stepan Bitus and guitar player Lukas Zinkevicius. "For The Love" shows off the smooth voice of Karolis, the sophisticated musicality and studio / electronic wizardry of Martin & Saxtone. A package greater than the sum of the parts, if there ever was one. Stylish adult-disco-pop for the Nang generation.

To balance things up, we keep one foot firmly on the dancefloor. We include a remix from our favourite Parisian dance-groovers Venice Beach. Floor time all the way. To round things off and give us a sly peek to the future album, the melodic "Open Up" rounds off the EP.

Proper Heat - On & On

Winter is approaching and here at Nang towers, nights are cold and it’s time to warm up proceedings. The heat is served in the guise of Proper Heat’s latest temperate single with a flaming Ilya Santana’s remix.

On 3rd of November we will drop the new EP from one of our favourite bands, Vilnius’ Proper Heat. The trio has previously released 4 singles on the label, mixing lead singer Karolis Ramoška’s incredible voice with Saxtone and Martin Vigin’s producing skills, creating their unique style which goes from Italo to Cosmic Disco, from 80’s Synth Pop to modern Deep House. On the 3rd of November they return with the double single ‘Believe/On & On’ backed up with remix from Ilya Santana, someone who has released on the likes of Permanent Vacation and Eskimo Recordings and remixed people like Human League, Dolly Parton, Lindstrom & the Phenomenal Handclap Band.

The EP opens with Proper Heat’s ‘Believe’: a cavernous chord's melody introduces the track’s dancefloor–oriented House groove before Karolis’s lyrics kick in, merged with a deep rhythmical bass-line and smooth ethereal synth-lines. Ilya Santana’s version of the original track is a proper Cosmico Disco cut. The producer takes the original chord melody and re-elaborates it, fusing it with spacey uplifting synths and and a jumpy arp/bass-line, dropping towards the tracks length the sampled and delayed vocals.

The second half of the single is composed by Proper Heat’s 2 different versions of ‘On & On’. The first version is a Pop light-headed track, carried by Ramoška’s unique voice, while the second is a down-tempo re-interpretation of the original, in which a funky bass-line and groove are mixed with bossanova percussions and sexy soulful key-melodies.

Proper Heat - Something New

Track from the album "Center Of The World

“They were born in the middle of Eastern Europe, on the chilly, nordic shores of the Baltic Sea. They hail from the city which is protected by an Iron Wolf, surrounded by forests and wetlands, hidden among the hills and rivers. A city into which many generations of Western European countries strove to find their way in and tried to disturb the tranquility of the pagan lifestyle. Here, blessed by the thunder and the rain, the Sun and the Moon, they praised their own gods and made music. Jazz, disco and electronic sounds were melting in the fire
heat, spreading the vital sounds of ancient pagan priests, which no other voodoo, wizard or guru could ever repeat. And, it goes on.”

In true Nang style Proper Heat deliver with some passionate low-slung disco house, accompanied by a club re-edit and remixes from Joe Morris and Polar Rundfunk.
Our Lithuanian buddies Martin Virgin, Saxtone and Karolis Ramoska debuted on Nang as Proper Heat just last year with the tasteful 'We Are Ready' EP, followed hastily by the acclaimed 'The Move' EP. Now, as a prelude to their forthcoming album with us, we present 'Just A Little Bit.'
The original record is a compound of 80's italo, Balearic good times and some crisp production with the 'just a little bit' vocal permeating throughout. The Club mix is exactly that, with a stacatto-synth bass drop that's been doing the deed at Nang parties of late.
The Joe Morris remix pulls things down to a reflective pace, all moody chords and smooth plucked bass. Real nice. Polar Rundafunk's mix oozes class. More staccato synth arps, but with variety of shimmering transitional elements that suck you in and out of phrases, motifs, timeframes and universes.
Lovely stuff from Proper Heat. Expect the album in Spring 2012.
