More dancefloor heat from Shir Khan’s Exploited Records arrives in the form of the twelfth edition of his ‘Secret Gold’ series.

A loose disco cut, Mingo’s ‘You Can’t Rave In A Buffalo Herd’ follows from the Hamburg resident’s ‘Sunscreen’ bomb on ‘Black Jukebox Disco House Jam Vol. 2’ last year. A filtered disco groove rises from the depths with snappy beats in support and slow phasers drenching it in waves of psych goodness. It suddenly explodes into a funked-up, soulful frenzy that is guaranteed to get fists pumping on the dancefloor. Is it summer already?
The second cut on this hot release comes from another German city: Kassel. Manolo Bronson & Zoka connect here for another slinky groove in the form of ‘Velvet Coat’. Zoka is well known on the local scene for his work booking DJs for local hotspots A.R.M. and Club Unten over the years, and he is an increasingly impressive force in the studio. Together they cook up another feel-good cut based around sweet guitar licks and vibrant live bass, with gentle Latin percussion and melancholy electric piano motifs winding their way around the meat of the track. A triumphant disco string assemblage tops the track off for a rousing finale.

Studio 45 - Thunderclap

Lemmon is back on their own home base, Cosmic Society, with an EP
including Remixes by DJ Counselling and Tigerskin. Whereas the title
track VESPRO comes with the typical driving and melodic Lemmon Sound, the second track TUINBOUW evolves Housey synth keys, smooth melodies and tuneful beats.

DJ COUNSELLING gives you the chance to lose yourself in a dreamy
journey of thick, smooth, and velvety beats on the ‚Tuinbouw‘ remix.
The melodies take a back seat with the Berlin producer TIGERSKIN, but
sparks a discobass with a soft otherworldly jungle panorama.

A true son of Berlin, Nico Stojan has synthesized the city’s hedonistic, tripped out soul into a sound that is instantly recognized as his own. Just as likely to be found playing epic sunrise sets at Burning Man or producing mesmerising tracks over a cup of green tea in his Berlin studio, the co-head dog of Ouïe (along with Acid Pauli) always provides a wide screen take on underground dance music.  

With the Cardano EP, Stojan contines on the path of mind expanding house grooves - the title track is a nine minute exploration that uses a few sounds in a subtle and intricate way to create a psychedelic dance floor burner that seems perfect for those sunrise moments. 

The digital release also features a beatless version of Inhale, offering another take on the track alongside a stripped down version of Cardano.

Small Great Things EP

Premiere: Luca Olivotto - Swipe Out [Small Great Things]

After their recent success with industry-leading releases on labels like Lee Burridge’s All Day I Dream, and their very own Bantwana’s Kollektiv imprint, South African artists, Bantwana’s are back again with a vocal rich two-track EP entitled, ‘Gus & Lib’ that once again pins them at the forefront of the ever-growing Organic Afro House movement.


The African electronic band, Bantwana’s latest EP delivers nothing short of a mesmerizing foray into their sound while fusing African elements with edgy electronic production.


Setting the bar high for the EP to come, the title track, ‘Gus & Lib’ starts things off with a soulful rhythmic guitar lead that perpetuates throughout the whole track, while emotively harmonic vocals provide the backdrop to this energetic masterpiece. Atmosphere and danceability are at the forefront of this track, encompassing the listener with the nuance of Bantwana’s production prowess and leading gracefully into the second track of the EP.

Closing things off on a high note, ‘Ingelengele’ begins with an addictive percussive rhythm and an enigmatic lead that fuels the subtle undertones of this beautifully written track. Moog-esque basslines and stunning vocals by DRC’s proud Danny Ndaye clearly define the focus, while backing vocal hooks push the listener forward and keep you hooked until the very last beat, yet again proving why Bantwana’s have been able to rise up through the ranks in such a short time.

Speaking about the EP, Bantwanas lead band member and co-producer, Blanka Mazimela commented:

“The title of the EP is taken from the names of my great grandfathers Gustyekeketye and Libalele. The track channels them through the lyrics ‘siyalubona uthango luphelile’ which means ‘we can see the kraal is falling apart’. The bigger meaning is assuring the ancestors that we will continue to rebuild what they’ve left for us. Excited we finally got to translate this piece of art into music”.

 
Bantwana’s ‘Gus & LIb’ will be available everywhere on September 18th 2020 via Bantwanas Kollektiv.
