4 big ol’ chunks of heavy house music are the order of the day from New York producer Ralph Session’s hot new EP for Black Jukebox. Combining his skills as a musician and seasoned DJ along with the technical know-how from his work as an audio engineer, the result is a collection of beautifully crafted, hard-hitting house cutz.
‘That Raw’ features a breathy spoken-word vocal from DJ Amir—one half of the legendary duo Kon & Amir—that laces the soulful, deep production with a hypnotic atmosphere. Thick bass bubbles beneath soaring strings and meandering synth arpeggios to give the track a set-building, big-room feel. ‘Do It’ rocks jaunty snatches of piano and sax over its peppy, skippy beat, with a little New Jersey feel in its incessant, phat-bottomed grove. ‘If You Want’ takes us into a deeper direction with its hazy pad work and dubby touches, with a slinky, rubbery bass groove that throbs hard beneath it all. Turn it up loud and feel it envelop you with its wide-open atmospherics. ‘Raw Sax’ rounds off with a dusty, skipping drum track shuffling around dreamy filtering synths, dubbed-out stab patterns and of course a sultry sax line.

We have been big fans of @ralphsession over here at Le Visiteur over the last few years. He makes quality house music with a classic NYC flavour. Having road tested many of his productions I can also vouch for the fact that they absolutely smash it on the dancefloor. Not surprising as Ralph is also a very talented DJ.

His latest release see's him line up for Shir Khan's Black Jukebox 35 on the excellent @Exploited label. Featuring four slamming house cuts this might just be Ralph's finest EP to date and that's up against some stiff competition.

Our premier today is That Raw featuring legendary producer DJ Amir who has worked with everyone from Dilla to Madlib, Common and Mandrill.

The Raw is proper house music, a huge thumping bassline chugger with it's energy soaked looped up synth, seriously cool vocal stabs and a*s shakin' percussion. For me it's one of the tightest house cuts of 2023 so far.

Check it out here and then jump over to LV for more on the release via: https://levisiteuronline.com/music/ralph-session-dj-amir-that-raw/

A Glitterbox collaboration from legends Shakedown & Bootsy Collins, ‘Funky And You Know It’, receives a remix from French multi-faceted artist Myd. Originally released in September 2023, the Swiss electronic project Shakedown joined forces with American record producer, vocalist and funk legend Bootsy Collins for an instant classic that has soundtracked the label’s extravagant parties ever since. Now the producer, DJ and member of esteemed electronic band Club Cheval Myd steps up on remix duties, adding his eclectic flair to the funk-laden record. The Ed Banger signed artist’s remix of ‘Funky And You Know It’ takes the rolling feel of the original and ups the tempo, injecting a dose of nu disco into the already uplifting track and ensuring the distinctive vocals of Bootsy Collins are heard on global dancefloors for years to come.

The Munich based duo Coeo are the stars of our fourteenth release. Florian Vietz and Andreas Hopfl have presented us with three original tracks with nice and special character. Closer EP is definitely a landmark release for us at Lagaffe Tales which challenges us to follow up with this new standard in the following future. The title track Closer is the star of the release. What stands out if the great percussion work and hauntingly beautiful vocal sample, whispering into our ears. As if the original track was not enough, we were lucky to get one of our biggest influences; Lay-Far to remix the track. The remix takes the percussion work to the next level and still staying true to the original mix. Lay-Far does not disappoint and makes sure that we connect memories we hold dear to the track. Mind Games is a beautiful piece with a tight baseline and enchanting piano atmosphere.  The duo bring to the table another beautiful piano sampling piece in the third track Timid Dancer. The whole EP has encouraged us to work harder and to grow in the right direction as a label.

Shir Khan and the illusive Exploited crew reveal the first compilation of the cultishly adored Black Jukebox series. It includes the sunniest grooves you’ve heard this year. ’Shir Khan Presents Black Jukebox Disco Jam 01’ is a soundsystem-ready disco-house jam which tickles the subwoofers beautifully and seems purpose built for eyes-wide-shut Summer terrace play in big outdoor spaces. Black Jukebox is traversing the wide spectrum of ‘dancefloor’ music.  There’s much to excite: All four tracks are built for rooftop parties with the deep V crew.
From slo-mo housed up boogie-soul, to a loft-party future classic, to a feel-good, sun-blushed, druggy, late night electric jam, to main room filtered disco house and subbass-bugged R&B…it’s all there.  It’s no wonder the Black Jukebox Vinyl series became buy-on-sight and quick to disappear. Launched in late 2011 by Shir Khan, Black Jukebox was mainly focussed on Vinyl Releases. 13 Releases later, this is the first compilation which sums up some of the best moments and features 3 tracks that were digitally never available before. 
Black Jukebox Releases have put a smile on the face of various tastemakers such as Wolf&Lamb, Soul Clap, Tim Sweeney, Optimo, Axel Boman, Gerd Janson, Disclosure, Danny Krivit, Ewan Pearson, David August, Jesse Rose, Tiefschwarz, Matthew Dear, A-Trak, Huxley, Oliver $, Wareika, RubnTug, ND Baumecker, Acid Pauli, James Friedman, Mano Le Tough, Solomun, H.O.S.H., Daniel Bortz, Dyed Soundorom, Erol Alkan, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Deetron, Skream, Seth Troxler, Re.You, Keinemusik, Noir, Miss Kittin, Joakim, Munk, DJ Yoda, Hot Since 82, Pete Tong, Claptone, Karmon, Azari & III, Friendly Fires, Jazzanova, Drop Out Orchestra, El Txef, Maya Jane Coles, Till Von Sein, The Rapture, Peter Kruder, Arthur Baker, Miguel Campbell, Phil Weeks, Lee Foss, Maxxi Soundsystem, Luke Solomon, Mark Farina, Terranova, Pen Pearce, Acid Washed.

Back again on the Disco House Tip. Shir Khan presents 4 new fine cuts on Black Jukebox 16. 
A1 and A2 is being represented by Iban Montoro & Jazzman Wax (Robsoul), while B1 is in charge of Bas Roos (featured on Claptone’s upcoming Mix-CD) and B2 by G. Markus (Soul Clap Edits). 

'Shir Khan's Black Jukebox is back with its 16th edition and it's all killer no filler as we'll explain. First up the EP starts off in wicked fashion with the thumping, swing fuelled groove of Iban Montoro & Jazzman Wax's "I Believe" with its jazzy piano loops.. this one's definitely made to play! On the flip we've got the lo-slung deep groove of Dutchman Bas Roos' "Midnight People" that's just perfect for a 3 AM Chicago basement shut in or Bushwick loft party alike! Finally Soul Clap Records affiliated G Markus' "The Man From Planet Jazz" is indeed a jazzy little something, no doubt inspired by the Windy City Style.' (Review by JUNO) 

'Shir Khan sees out the Summer with one more V/A 4-tracker for the terraces. Iban Montoro & Jazzman Wax (Robsoul) take care of the B-side while Bas Roos and G. Markus (of Soul Clap Edits) take charge of the flip. "I Believe" is filtered, piano-led feel-good house music. With a riff akin to Paul Johnson's "Get Get Down" it's actually the same sample used by the Happy Clappers tune of exactly the same name. "Scorpio" opts for a more beatdown flavoured groove as more funk and disco samples are tastefully layered in that idiosyncratic style. Onto the B-side and Bas Roos' "Midnight People" is a sultry, low-slung affair again with added filter action and plenty of soulful vocal snatches. Finally, G. Markus concludes the set with "The Man From Planet Jazz". An organic house number along the lines of Rotating Assembly or Glen Underground; rich with vibrant piano work, warm bass lively congas. Another killer set from Mr. Khan's crew. Limited edition as always.' (Review by PICADILLY RECORDS)

Shir Khan started Exploited in 2007. Exploited Rec now plays host to some wide-ranging and innovative electronic talent - including Adana Twins, Claptone, Budakid, Joyce Muniz, James Curd, Shir Khan (to name a few) - and its artists have been receiving numerous supportive spins from the likes of Solomun, Pete Tong, Soul Clap, Wolf&Lamb, Azari&III, Jesse Rose, Axel Boman and A-Trak.
This is serious dance music at it's most cutting edge with all the juice to really get you going. It's totally contemporary, innovative and has a chunky dirty feel. "Exploited" take you on an invigorating roller coaster ride back to your youth when you first listened to dance music with all the thrills and spills you so enjoyed about clubbing. It's heavy, exciting and special.
'"Exploited Records" is a seamless melting pot of varied styles that simply can't fail to please even the most discerning ears. Highlights here are plentyful. Not to be missed at any cost.' (Clash)
'Musical hybrids are truly the flavour of today, but few have managed to capture the atmosphere of an unpredictable microcosm of a night out on a recordlabel - until now. Shir Khan's label "Exploited" bottles the zeitgeist's giddy thrills with plenty of style and substance. This is dance music hybridism in all its most glorious forms, and Shir Khan is an expert at making square pegs fit round holes.' (DJ-Mag)
'"Exploited Records" boss Shir Khan has been gaining a lot of acclaim recently, and deservedly so - as he has shown us the high quality, diversity and forward-thinking nature of his label. Engaging, riveting and diverse.' (Data Transmission)
