Robsoul hits the triple century and marks the occasion with Phil Weeks diving deep into the archives to unearth, dust off and polish up some previously unreleased projects, all sitting pretty alongside a brand new jam from the Robsoul boss.  
A king of the cut up and master of the sample, Weeks has established Robsoul Recordings as a one-stop-shop for House music lovers. Deep jazzy grooves, filtered disco delights or nasty warehouse joints, all dipped in the magical dancefloor dust of Chicago, New York and Paris… The French label has become a treasure trove for the discerning DJ since its launch in 2000. Uncomplicated, supremely effective tools for the dancefloor. 
Release #300 opens with excellent ’Thuggish Ruggish’, the brand new track from Phil. Bumping, filtered and laced with a super smooth vocal sample, this hits with intention. 

Up next a brace of newbies in collaboration with fellow Frenchman and Robsoul regular, Joss Moog. The downy bass and filtered vocal of  2012’s ‘One Step Ahead’ has been tightened and remastered for release, sitting pretty alongside the aptly names ’Sure Shot’, with its spritely Rhodes melody and big bulbous bassline. 
Digging back further still, all the way to 2011, we’re graced with a perfect double from Weeks and one third of Apollonia, Mr Dan Ghenacia. The pair go all in on ’Source Sure’ and ‘Push’. Two tracks that work perfectly in the mix, Source Sure lights the French touch paper whilst Push delivers some 80’s Chicago flavour, topped with an electrifying vocal surprise. 

A fitting selection for a milestone release… Time to get down!

Emerging in 2012, Leftwing & Kody have become regular fixtures in Beatport’s Top 10, releasing on the likes of Knee Deep In Sound, Hot Creations and MadTech when not on their own Lost Records imprint. Receiving regular support from the likes of Jamie Jones, Nic Fanciulli, Carl Cox, Maya Jane Coles and Hot Since 82, the pair’s studio abilities are irrefutable, making them likely artists for the next release on Steve Lawler’s VIVa, whilst also getting signed to VIVa’s management roster to boot.

First up, ‘Pursuit’ delivers sinister samples, whirring atmospherics and a viscous bassline signature to the Leftwing & Kody sound before ‘What You Do To Me’ employs rattling percussion and offbeat stabs until a lengthy drumroll ignites into an infectious groove. Tying it all together, ‘Keep On’ is a bass focused number complete with a looped vox, echoing effects and a compelling rhythm.

Josh Wink joins Ellum Audio for a stellar new single backed with a remix from DJ Seinfeld.

Josh Wink needs little introduction to fans, or even occasional listeners to dance music. The American DJ and producer has been one of the most enduring figures in the scene with a catalogue of music on labels like R&S, Strictly Rhythm, Nervous, Pokerflat, M- Nus and of course his own long standing Ovum Recordings imprint. As a DJ, he has travelled the globe since the mid-nineties, headlining festivals and clubs wherever he goes. What he has never done in his almost 30-year career is ever lose touch with the roots of underground dance music, something he demonstrates once again here with a standout new single.

‘Feel’ is classic Josh Wink, near eight minutes of pacey, hypnotic dancefloor wonderment fuelled by syncopated percussion and arpeggiated bass which builds the tension before a spacious drop and meditative, spoken word vocal take the reins. Timeless and heartfelt this is a gem from the Philadelphia legend.

Remix duties fall to Sweden’s DJ Seinfeld, the lo-fi house pioneer and Young Ethics label boss who chops things up with a warped bassline, wonky FX and dancing synth lines to bring a brilliant alternative to the table.
