Acclaimed Brooklyn-based artist North Satellite returns to Darshan Jasrani’s Startree label with the bewitching four track ‘Core Discord’ EP released on 2 July. 
Following last year’s celebrated ‘A Rising Sign', with ‘Core Discord’, North Satellite, AKA Eugene Tambourine, draws inspiration from The I Ching - the Taoist book of philosophy which he has studied for 24 years - and the belief that all conflict stems from within us. Each of the four tracks were created under the central theme of Inner Conflict - something which plagues the individual and then society. 
With the opening track, ‘Evil’, North Satellite takes Earth, Wind & Fire’s 1973 social-commentary song and produces a laid-back, sensuous synth odyssey which admitted his own bad attitudes and misanthropy as well as that which he sees in other people.
‘Transcendentalmental’ is the balanced instrumental version of ‘Evil’, showcasing the cascading beats, chilled percussion, and shimmering synths. 
The elegantly balanced Balearic and Latin infused 'Fighting / Luchando’, presents tension and release in the instrumentation and soulful vocal refrains of “it’s my life I’m fighting for". In North Satellite’s words: "We’re all trying to maintain our mental, physical and spiritual health in these times. Bringing music to life in the studio is one of the few things which gives me a brief sense of direction and accomplishment right now.

Closing the EP is the title track, ‘Core Discord’, complete with distorted vocals, robotic and glitchy sounds which combine with the disjointed beats to produce a mesmerising and hypnotic finale which rounds off the EP perfectly.

PREMIERE : North Satellite - Evil

With the success of The Vendetta Suite’s critically acclaimed debut album ‘The Kempe Stone Portal’ -  Hell Yeah Recordings proudly present the remixes, featuring long-time friends and collaborators David Holmes and Timmy Stewart. 

The 90s in Belfast spawned friendships and connections made across the barricades; a time credited with some of the most important and significant cultural moments in the history of the city. Club-nights including the Art college, regularly played by David Holmes and Iain McCready helped to spawn a new generation of musicians and DJs looking to make their mark; Including both Gary Irwin (The Vendetta Suite) & Timmy Stewart. 

Drawn to the future-facing sounds played by David Holmes; Irwin recalls handing tapes to him every few months, before he was asked to come on board as the studio engineer at Holmes’ ‘Exploding Plastic Inevitable Studio’. Timmy Stewart, a long standing DJ, producer and luminary in Belfast first met the wide-eyed engineer through his connection with Holmes and created his first musical experiments alongside Glenn McCartney with Irwin at the controls. It only feels fitting that the trio would collaborate again after their individual success and as Gary’s mesmerizing debut album dropped in June 2021.

Cinematic, captivating and flirtatious; David Holmes catapults listeners into a feeling of pure euphoria with his take on ‘Purple Haze, Yellow Sunrise’. It’s a journey through a plethora of sounds and moods encapsulating the voyage both David and Gary have made throughout almost three decades of friendship. The track begins with ambient tones and psychedelic electronics, before impeccable drum programming and shimmering synth work combine to create an otherworldly listening experience. 

Up next is Timmy Stewart’s rendition of ‘Warehouse Rock’ paying homage to the Italian house era of 1990/91- resulting in an unhurried trek through space-lounge sleaze and funk that has one eye on the past and another on the future. The kick is then quietly removed on the ambient flip, thus breathing fresh air into a sequence of tranquil stillness. 

It’s a legendary local link-up. The patience, creativity and passion of Gary Irwin, David Holmes and Timmy Stewart paved the path for many of Belfast’s contemporary dance music enthusiasts to find their way in a city that had lost its own for a period of time. Never dull, and always with the element of surprise, this is the Belfast old guard showing why the originals are always the best.

Warehouse Rock (Timmy Stewart's Six Minutes To Sunrise Mix)

This album has felt like a long time coming, as the first single ‘The Standard’ dropped back in September. But what a way this was to open an album!
This full-length collection entitled ‘Whateverism’ is the marker of twenty years in the music business for Turbojazz, and it is a celebration of his journey into the sonics and genres that have shaped his tastes and formed the trademark sound that he is known for about the globe. It’s a kaleidoscopic journey that glides from one track to the next in a highly impression fashion through shades of House, Nu Jazz, Hip House, Soul, and the most modern electronic drifts of Deep. Full to the brim with collaborations, you can find the much acclaimed, LA based MC Dave Giles II, who recently featured on the Honey Dijon track Work and on Beyoncé’s Cozy. You will also come across Detroit’s very own - and Moodymann’s most featured vocalist on the hallowed Mahogani Music - deep house diva Nikki O, who gets together with UK House master Sean McCabe on the ridiculously good ‘In Love Again’, plus Japan’s Brisa from the Bastard Jazz family too. 
All of this is packaged with some of the most promising talents from Italy, the motherland from which Turbojazz was born and bred. There’s Neapolitan & Srilankese vocalist Sara Vanderwert, who features on ‘You Are Worth It’, and the Arya who sings the stunning lyrics on ‘We Lost A Night’ in a duet with Losangelino rapper, Demetrius Rhymes. Not forgetting to mention Tommy’s long-time close collaborator from their trio Jaxx Madicine, Veezo, who is in charge of the brilliant key work and scintillating synths on most of the album.
Enjoy this highly impressive and unpredictable journey into the illusive world of Turbojazz. If the world did not know his name before, it will be standing up and knowing his name now.

DC Promo Tracks: Session Victim "Dromedary Twist"

The concept of AZZURRO was like a week-long vacation in Italy. It starts with jazzy, slower sessions and progresses to an italo-jazzy-house gem, Summer Voyage. Passionate vocals with smooth Rhodes solo and licks on this track. Following some clubby tunes Electromarea and Dolphin Dance as a nightlife hangout, and a remix by the label founder Francesco FIsotti with cool vocals follows. Finally, with the last tune, you can feel the bitter sweet emotions when you are on your way to the airport to leave this magical country, but you have some souvenirs on your skin that they call “Ambraskin” (tanned skin) and the visual memories of the crystal clear sea they often call Mare Azzurro.

DC Promo Tracks #1230: "Summer's got to end" by Colinet is part of the release "Summer s got to end" 

"Summer's got to end" welcomes you to a landscape of analogue synths and airy vocals, blinking to the chill wave scene of  2009 as well as the hifi world of Daft Punk. I feel like my very specific skills within engineering, coming from a more analog background, really gives my productions a unique sound.
