EP036 - Extended Players Vol 5

Vin Sol feat Tyree Cooper - It's House

Out now: https://orcd.co/REKIDS239

DJ, producer, promoter, composer, and cultural agitator Man Power makes his debut on Radio Slave’s Rekids with ‘We Trawl The Hurts’ featuring Louisahhh on 12th April. The first fruits of a long-term friendship see Man Power (Me Me Me/Throne of Blood/Optimo) serving up a stomping, big-room cut that tips its hat to late-90s NY house and serves as a bed for the inimitable Louisahhh’s (RAAR) breathy vocal delivery of classic Prefab Sprout lyrics.

“I realised that I never set out to make a "Banger", so I started sharing daily WIPs on Twitter/X of me attempting to do so, with notes on why I'd made certain decisions or changed certain things. The results were a shock and it felt like I'd managed to do what I set out to do, but I felt it needed an additional element. I've wanted to do something with Louisahhh for forever and the idea of asking her to cover that as a vocal element just arrived in my head fully formed. It's one of the few occasions making music where I've had an idea and the execution has turned out exactly as it was in my head when I first thought of it” - Man Power

An intimate, spoken-word vocal from Louisahh weaves through a world of vibrant pads and chords. The gorgeous lyricism of their ‘We Trawl The Hurts’ is underpinned by an uplifting and emotive swirl of melody and a rock-steady beat. Man Power’s love of Murk and Tenaglia shines through.

The evergreen Deetron delivers three versions of ‘We Trawl The Hurt’s ft Louisahhh’: a remix that flips the original into a thumping deep techno cut featuring loopy synths and pixelated leads, a stripped-back and powerful dub, and his DJ tool ‘drum and bass’, built for those who like to mix.

Street Meat is the new imprint from UK producer and edit maestro Ghosts of Venice. The label's debut release comes from kings of sleaze In Flagranti.

“Radiation Level” is a looped out DJ tool that works it’s way through funk guitar licks and rolling bass lines. Followed by the sultry and sleazy “Freakin’ Time”. The flip side kicks off with the classic electro boogie sound of “Breakin’ In Space” and closes out with the roller disco vibes of “Switch”

Magic Feet's latest vinyl voyage companions are fresh-faced Lithuanian audio-visual explorers Roe Deers. Best-friends Liudas and Oskaras have been producing, DJing and performing together for some time; "Kukushka", the track showcased here, marks their debut release. It's an impressive debut, too. Built around metallic percussion hits, chugging post-punk attitude, tipsy textures and the sound of broken cuckoo clocks, 'Kukushka' is a throbbing dancefloor excursion blessed with an otherworldly atmosphere.

Premiere: Josh Butler 'Need Me'

Black Girl / White Girl present their newest dancefloor weapon, 'Dimension', set to be released June 3rd via SAFE Music. 

The Amsterdam based duo are on an absolute tear in 2016. With their 5th release of the year, Black Girl / White Girl are proving to be in top form and are continuing on their trajectory to take over the underground. 

“‘Dimension’ was a way for us to flex our high­ energy dance floor bomb muscles, we wanted to take on the darker, groovier after hours vibe of techno & house and inject some BGWG influences into it. Our music is quite diverse and we try to flip it and reverse it for every track. Keeping it real and fresh. That’s  how we do!”

20 Years Of Freerange - 5 x Vinyl Box Set LP

June 2016 sees Freerange Records celebrate 20 years at the top. The label, run by Jamie ‘Jimpster’ Odell and Tom Roberts, is marking the occasion with the summer release of a carefully curated and lovingly assembled 20 track, five vinyl box set featuring exclusive new music from associates old and new, as well as with a worldwide events series.

Over the last two decades, generations of DJs and dancers have gotten down to the Freerange sound. Initially that was a mix of sample-heavy productions incorporating live musicians, flirtations with the broken beat sound and some ground breaking fidget house cuts from Switch and Trevor Loveys. Then, and most enduringly, the label settled into a rich vein of deep house. Shur-I-Kan, Kirk Degiorgio, Milton Jackson, Trackheadz, Stimming as well as Jimpster ushered in this most recent chapter, and in turn the label has helped make household names of many more previously unknown talents from Detroit Swindle to Manuel Tur, Andre Lodemann to Tony Lionni. Wherever you look amongst the hundreds of EP and LP releases on Freerange, you will find nuance and evolution, dance floor sensibility and genuine emotional impact.

That same sense of timelessness characterises this new compilation, which is packed with great music from the likes of KiNK, Pittsburgh Track Authority, Kuniyuki, Kito Jempere, Soul of Hex, Clavis, Detroit Swindle, and of course Jimpster himself, as well as a whole host of other Freerange regulars. There are many highlights across the 20 track package including a warm and skipping house cut from Bulgarian live specialist KiNK, a typically slow burning and beautifully arcing epic from Andre Lodemann and spaced out jack tracks from classically inclined Liverpudlian Tony Lionni.

Big name stars like Detroit Swindle return in style with a robust and acid laced banger, the ever-underrated Milton Jackson builds something melodically magical and Pittsburgh Track Authority layer up majestic string stabs and rubbery bass into soul infused future music. Jimpster himself bolsters the whole package both solo and with Luv Jam as well as remixing Tim Toh, and on each occasion proves why he is one of the pivotal figures of the UK deep house scene.

Few labels make it to twenty releases let alone twenty years strong. Often doing so without making any real fuss, now is the time that Freerange Records deserves its time in the spotlight, and this compilation more than proves that.

RVRT 010 / Dos Attack - Flue (Kornel Kovacs Remix)

Respected house producer Josh Butler is back, armed with his brand new ‘Link’ EP on Edwin Oosterwal and Joris Voorn’s legendary Rejected imprint. The EP once again proves Josh’s ability to continuously deliver the kind of high quality tech-house that has entrenched him as an integral figure in the underground UK house scene.

The title track ‘Link’ stays true to Butler’s less-is-more philosophy while also showcasing his incredible sound-design and production know-how. The percussion takes centre stage as Josh brings in conga rolls, a soulful vocal refrain and lush, atmospheric pads to contribute to an inimitable groove. Two distinct mixes of the track, a melodic mix and a dub mix, are generously provided on the EP and both demonstrate the intricacies inherent in Josh’s production.

Rounding off the release is ‘Need Me’, the EP’s deeper venture that combines minimalist instrumentation centred around a grooving bassline, subtly making itself known above the driving percussion. Throughout the EP, Josh succeeds in delivering vast symphonic landscapes within the pretext of measured and characteristic instrumental restraint. Partygoers can expect to hear both sides of the EP receive serious airtime across the club circuit as the Ibiza season kicks into full swing this month.

Second release from Deeptrax Records, which is also a famous recordshop from the Netherlands, features an LYO fave ; Rudi Agius aka Jupiter Jax from Malta. A deep four tracker EP containing real Detroit vibes, pushing Carl Craig, Dan Curtin and Kenny Larkin sounds, beamed into today's world. The first track has an anthem alert tag attached, which is rare in 313 country these days...starting melancholic with lush sounds and firm beats, then slowly building into piano heaven. "Times of dependence" here premiered is a deep ethereal technoid number with lush, conscious sounds and stomping beats, which is pushing the label into deeper, broader territories. Very Limited Edition, greatly analogue mastered by Thee J Johanz of Irdial fame...

PREMIERE : Jupiter Jax - Times Of Dependence

PREMIERE > http://inverted-audio.com/premiere-leonardo-martelli-il-registro/

Menacing like JAWS' main theme at first - a sinister bass strumming in a desperately shark-less ocean, 'Il Registro' offers what certainly counts as one of Martelli's (@switch02) most compelling slabs to date, combining the immersive impact of wistful pads with the galvanic crunch of a stealth breakbeat lilt. Straight up killer.

After exceptional releases on much-respected imprints like Dixon’s Innervisions, Drumpoet Community and Mood Music, Berlin-based artist duo FRANKEY & SANDRINO brings their sophisticated, deep house sound to Kompakt with the HYDRAE EP – three new and highly versatile tracks that prove once more the perfect symbiosis of Frank Beckers’ technical know-how and Sandrino Tittel’s selector expertise from his days as resident DJ at Wuppertal’s famed Butan Club. Both the title cut HYDRAE and b-side buster IZAR feature the expressive, silky synth solos we’ve come to love from the two soundsmiths, embedded in the focussed throbbing of their precision beats. Closer MERGING BLACK sports slightly more jagged contours, thanks to some psychoactive synth sequencing and a howling trumpet –  enriched with Frankey & Sandrino’s stunning sense for dramaturgic refinement. Voluptuous and minimalist at the same time, these tracks spin a captivating floor lore that will enchant any serious fan of electronic dance music.

Nach bemerkenswerten Releases auf hochgelobten Labels wie etwa Dixons Innervisions, Drumpoet Community und Mood Music bringt das Berliner Künstlerduo FRANKEY & SANDRINO ihren ausgeklügelten, tiefen House-Sound mit der HYDRAE EP zu Kompakt - drei neue und vielseitige Tracks belegen einmal mehr die perfekte Symbiose von Frank Beckers' technischem Know-How und Sandrino Tittels Club-Expertise aus seinen Tagen als Resident-DJ im legendären Wuppertaler Butan Club. Sowohl der Titeltrack HYDRAE als auch der B-Seiten-Knaller IZAR glänzen mit den expressiven, seidigen Synthie-Solos die wir bei den beiden Klangtüftlern schätzen gelernt haben, formvollendet eingebettet im fokussierten Treiben ihrer Präzisions-Beats. Der Abschlusstrack MERGING BLACK weist etwas schartigere Züge auf, dank psychoaktiver Synthie-Sequenzen und einer aufheulenden Trompete - angereichert mit Frankey & Sandrinos verblüffendem Sinn für dramaturgische Finesse. Üppig und minimalistisch zugleich, erzählen diese Aufnahmen von einer fesselnden Tanzflursaga die jeden ernstzunehmenden Fan elektronischer Tanzmusik begeistern wird.

Man Power left his Northern home and ran south of the border. This is his first offering for the ESP Institute. On side A, he proves that he truly is 'The Tourist', delivering what we’re already toting as our Summer anthem—a relentless hurricane drum pattern full of toms, timbales and splashes that lays the rhythmic foundation for his Pacific chords and euphoric melodies–an undeniable floor-filler that invites all to dance unencumbered by the constraints of “functional” club music. With side B’s 'Oye', Man Power rolls out a similarly vibrant combination of drums and rhythm, however he toughens up the aesthetic with a massive rolling acid bassline, only briefly letting up for a spot of layered marimbas and spriteful pads before culminating in an emotional finale. After spending a couple years churning out tracks for various labels around the world, Man Power has undoubtably shifted his narrative point-of-view and updated his sense of craft upon his induction to the ESP Institute. These two songs will throw a wrench in your holiday.

Hailing from Tel Aviv, and cutting her chops on the Los Angeles underground, Mor Elian is a relatively new name on the block, but her tastes have seen her share the stage with the likes of Kerri Chandler, Mike Dunn, Seven Davis Jnr, or DJ Qu and most recently, releasing her debut vinyl release on the excellent Prime Numbers label, featuring FXHE’s OB Ignitt on remix duties. 
On ‘Drum Vortex’, Mor strikes a killer release for Hypercolour, enlisting two big remixes on the release from Joey Anderson and Markus Suckut.  Joey Anderson has proven himself as one of the most diverse house producers out there, with offerings for Dekmantel, Syncrophone, Latency and Tanstaafl Planets. Joey remodels ‘Drum Vortex’ into an old style warehouse dub; rolling congas and snares with incessant synth stabs and bending strings, making up for one serious remix from Mr. Anderson.
