Artist: Andy Ash
Title: Momentary EP
Cat.: SAFTXØØ6
Label: saft
Format: Vinyl 12’’
Release date: June 9th
Style: Deep House, House

Assured UK house producer Andy Ash takes care of the next EP on SAFTX while the equally esteemed Mark E steps up to remix.  

For well over a decade now, Andy Ash has been turning out high-quality house music on a range of labels. Last year he served up a tasteful full-length on Quintessenials, the year before that he dropped a double 12" on Still Music and he is also a regular at the likes of Delusions Of Grandeur. From deep and dusty to disco-tinged and dynamic, he has a stylish sound that is well-versed in the classics but always with his own twist. He shows that again here with four fresh tunes which cannot fail to make you feel good.  

Opener 'You:Me' features Faber and is a brilliantly warm house groove. The drums and hi-hats are perfectly designed, the vamping chords bring a playful funk and swirling pads add diffuse late-night energy. It's a timeless cut with nods to the US midwest and subtle vocal sounds. 

Remixer and Merc label boss Mark E has a rich history of edits and originals on the likes of Running Back, Delusions Of Grandeur and Studio Barnhus. On his version, he lays down hazy, heavy kicks for a beatdown workout that comes alive with gorgeous synth work akin to all the best Detroit dons.  

Ash's 'Momentary Days' is a slow and roomy, dubbed-out house swinger. Well-placed samples - vocal coos, guitar riffs, jazzy chords - all peel off the loose drums and can't fail to get you moving. 'Reach' is another humid house cut for cosy back rooms and basements. The scruffy drums have frayed edges while dreamy melodies loop up top. It's a heartfelt sound that slowly turns you to deep inward reflection. 

Last of all is 'Rico! Rico!', a downtempo jazz-funk jam with crisp broken beats, keys that take you to the Riviera and strings so lush you can almost feel the sun on your face.  

This is deep house music as it should be - raw, expressive and full of human soul.

Artist: Ise Jr., Phonk D
Title: Playground EP
Label: Footjob
Cat.Nr.: FJ024
Releasedate: 25.08.2023

Ise Jr. and @phonk-d share a long musical history. In the early 2000s they produced as a team, founded the Kollege Schnürschuh Collective and were responsible for numerous productions in the German HipHop scene.
Phonk D's past was more 4/4 beat based and Ise Jr. always had a great passion for electronic music. Over time their sound slightly changed, the label Footjob was founded and a great number of sketches were made in that musical direction.
Luckily, Phonk D rarely throws anything off his hard drives, which allowed him to fine-tune some of the old jewels like these four tracks. They’ve matured for about 10 years and now finally come to see the strobelight of the club.

We are very excited to welcome yet another new talent to Dirt Crew Recordings! J. Peacock is a Blackpool born artist, raised on Northern Soul and nurtured in the Manchester music scene. In 2015, he started making and releasing techno under the moniker Joel John. More recently, he has turned his focus closer to home, inspired by uplifting house music produced by friends, and sampling his favourite records played by his dad over the years. Last year he released a first collab track with Laurence Guy on “Shall Not Fade”.

J.Peacock's “The Praying Kind EP” marks a new musical chapter: combining nostalgia and dance floor energy. In his own words: “The goal was to just have fun, experimenting with a new way of making music to what I’ve been doing previously. Taking influence from artists I used to listen to constantly like Soundstream, Cottam, Boo Williams as well as artists close to me like Harry Wolfman and Laurence Guy. This record is about creating something that gives me flashbacks to my dad playing tunes in his flat.”

“Silk Road” starts out as a tribal groover with some great vocal sampling going on, this one is much more situated in the Bass and UK style areas of House Music. Again with a big touch of Soul and deepness all around.

All tracks mastered by Salz Mastering in Cologne.

PREMIERE : J. Peacock - Silk Road

Vince Watson is releasing the follow up to his seminal Moments In Time, entitled ‘Another Moment In Time’. Over the twenty years since the original release Vince has put out more than ten LPs of various flavours. Here he returns to the vibe and feel of those early works. ‘Another Moment in Time’ wastes no time in exploring those rich, melancholic tones with his stunning piano chords and an essence of nostalgia that is both thought provoking and deeply satisfying. This album takes Vince Watson ever further into his original sound but with a pristine quality and finesse that his early work was yet to benefit from.
 
From the opener with its rich acid deepness and subtle keys, to the energetic and deeply fulfilling ‘Flashback’ that gives a nod to Funk d’Void’s Diablo or KiNK. ‘Peace Of Mind’ features the incredible talents of the Underground Resistance ‘Timeline’ keyboard master Jon Dixon as co-writer, this combination of both musicians is an ear to behold; the piano and Rhodes playing is straight up high-tech jazz. ‘Lost In the Deep’ takes its cues from Detroit but hits different with twisting chords and grooves. ‘Whispers’ delivers the most melancholic deepness on the LP, whereas ‘Sunshine’ is pure out and out happiness with its twisting chords and a firm foundation in Detroit. Written on the first sunny day after the winter, you can hear the breath of relief within the track . ‘Rendezvous [Finale]’ is the 3rd and final version of a cut that’s had a long and satisfying journey. Originally released on Carl Craig’s Planet E in 2006, it was then formatted into Afro House for Osunlade’s Yoruba Records in 2018, and in ‘22 this new version was debuted for Carl Cox’s Birthday at DC10 in Ibiza for Vince’s live set. The reaction sealed the deal!  ‘Forever’ and ‘Make A Wish’ are straight up club cuts that featured on a single also in ‘22. The album closes out with the peacefully beautiful  ‘Sleep’ that rounds things off to sonic perfection.
 
This feels like the next evolution in Vince Watson. The finesse, the musicality, musicianship, and the production levels are of the highest level. ‘Peace of Mind’and ‘Flashback’ may well be two of the biggest tracks that Watson has released to date.

Here we go again - INEXD011 comes with 3 original quirky and juicy house cuts from  Nonduality which will carry you through delightful dance floor adventures. We are having 3 Remixes of those tracks - one by the great Baka G which puts some slices of 90ies Nostalgia and Westcoast sauce on top of the Original. The remix from bendrik dives into aquanautic areas and making dolphin like acrobatic jumps in between while Drei Farben House delivers a deep and stripped down version of Still Inside.

Mike Agent X Clark returns to Third Ear with four new tracks. His first release for the label in six years, after the River People Edits reworking of the great Weather Report track. This ep, four originals, is very much a Detroit Beatdown vibe. The quality and variety which is typical of many Detroit releases is very evident here. Is it house? Is it techno? Is it disco? These genre-defining labels don't really come into the minds of many Detroit producers when making tracks, the music they create often seamlessly blends many genres. What is recognisably Detroit is the weight and the swing of these releases; they do not mess around, and Mike Clark is a master of this.

The third release of the Italoexotica Crew will take you back in time, more precisely to the Era of Disco music and the Italian nightclubbing, where the parties began with the romantic melodies of the pianobar and then ignited the souls, the passions and flowed into eroticism.
