Artist: Apoena
Title:  Dark Emerald EP
Release 14th January 2022
Format: Digital
Cat No: FRD275

Freerange are very happy to introduce Apoena for his debut release on the label. The Brazilian DJ and producer, now based in Berlin is known for his deep, raw, underground house and techno tracks have appeared on cult labels such as Jus Ed’s Underground Quality, Rawax and Batti Batti with regular supporters including Delano Smith, Laurent Garnier and Agoria to name a few.

On the Dark Emerald EP we are treated to three tracks of hypnotic club grooves
which swing from the minimal, chunky bounce of lead track Must Go Deeper, through the rolling, filtered mood of Mind and winding down with the immersive, late night Detroit-inspired sounds of Dark Emerald.  Apoena’s production skills mean these tracks sound punchy and BIG on a nice system, creating just the kind of heads-down, locked-on atmosphere the deep and discerning dance floor desires.

One of Freerange’s longest standing artists Manuel Tur serves up another brilliant release in the form of Love Me Well.  Someone who needs very little by way of introduction, Manuel has been honing his craft for nigh on two decades with a discography which includes some of the most influential labels and associations in electronic music.  Running Back, Innervisions, DFA, Ovum, Objektivity, Mule, Drumpoet, Permanent Vacation, Andhim, André Hommen, Tensnake, Shit Robot, Tale Of Us, Ane Brun… you get the idea.  Manuel continues to be in demand as a producer and remixer and remains relevant thanks to his golden ears, precision engineering and Midas touch.

For his tenth Freerange release (not including his three LP’s!) he delivers a diverse three track EP which spans the house spectrum from the deep, emotive late night mood of the title track through sublime, delicate and hauntingly beautiful Paperasse and rounding off with the driving, acidic, minimal disco groove of Touch Move.

Artist: Jimpster
Title: Porchlight And Rocking Chairs Remixes Pt. 1
Release Date: 16th September (Vinyl) 23rd September (Digital) 2013 
Format: Vinyl/Digital
Cat No: FR184/FRD184

In March of this year we saw Jimpster’s Porchlight And Rocking Chairs LP fall on expectant and eager ears, winning praise from the likes of RA, DJ Mag and Groove as well as plays and support from a host of the worlds best radio and club DJ’s. With the majority of the LP being more home listening than club-focused we decided to call in some of our favorite producers to rework a track of their choice for the dance-floors and here we present you the first part of the amazing results.

KiNK needs little introduction of course, except to say that his live set as well as his hands on hardware approach in the studio has seen him become established as one of the most exciting producers of the last couple of years. When he agreed to remix Porchlight And Rocking Chairs (a track he incidentally referred to as his favorite of the year!) we couldn’t have been happier and knew that something very special would come from it. When he got in touch to say he’d done a version but explained it was done live in one take with all the parts being tweaked in real time making it very hard to change anything we were even more intrigued and excited. As expected, what he delivered is an intense, high energy reworking full of piercing high’s and rattling lows, keeping the original chords and many of the keyboard lines in place but injecting a raw drive and improvised feel which has already seen it become a highlight of Jimpster sets this summer.

Andre Lodemann provides the perfect antidote to KiNK’s frenetic version in the form of his Towards The Seer Remix, going for a tight, emotive, late night groove which develops slowly, teasing out the arrangement and keeping things sublime and understated. Subtle bass twists and dubbed out FX build to the extended break where we’re introduced to the original’s acoustic bass riff in all it’s glory. Another brilliant Andre Lodemann production.

Looking forward to hearing your feedback on this and if you’re good people and provide us with a little comment other than ‘support!’ you can expect to be hearing the Deetron and Tanner Ross remixes coming your way very soon!

Release Text:
Jimpster’s lockdown LP was made throughout 2020 and finally sees the light of day at the end of February 2022 having been delayed around 6 months due to the ongoing vinyl pressing hold ups. Birdhouse is the revered producers seventh full length LP and can be considered a full circle as he takes a step away from the dance floor to revisit his early inspirations of jazz, 70’s fusion, library music, ambient and sample-based downtempo electronica. With its soulful touches, vocal and live musician features and trademark warm Jimpster production, we also think it could be his most accomplished and accessible yet.

The first of two tracks on the LP featuring London vocalist and songwriter Cairo drops next entitled Beautiful Day. Another incredibly talented young artist introduced to Jimpster through a mutual friend, Cairo adds a deep and uplifting vibe making for a track you’ll come back to time and time again. A slow-burning nu-soul groove which will draw you in with its warm glow. Lazarusman is a Johannesburg-native poet and vocalist known for his collaborations with Stimming, Joris Voorn and Booka Shade. Here he delivers a poem called Heavy, perfectly punctuating the haunting reverb drenched horn, Detroit-esque chord stabs and filtered drums.

Birdhouse - FRLP42

PREMIERE: Jimpster feat. Cairo - Beautiful Day [Freerange Records]

Jimpster's seventh full-length, Birdhouse is set for launch this coming Friday and it's one you might find yourself laying back to as opposed to grooving along to in the club. Soul, funk, and downtempo grooves take center stage this time around and it's not very surprising considering the fact that he mainly wrote the album throughout 2020's lockdown. It's 12 tracks deep and rich with the vibes we need in tense times like these. 

All the tunes are deserving of their own individual spotlight but at Magnetic, we are premiering the album's second track which features an especially tender vocal by Oliver Night which you might find particularly introspective.

Freerange Records Radioshow No.246 - February 2022 With Matt Masters

Article: https://www.magneticmag.com/2022/03/premiere-crackazat-beacon-of-light-freerange-records/

On March 11th, Ben Jacobs, better known as Crackazat, will drop the first single from his third album due out on June 3rd. Freerange Records will be the host of said releases and it marks his first appearance on the label since his Valentine E.P. two years ago. The album will be titled, Evergreen but the centerpiece of discussion today is the spiffy premiere for the single called, "Beacon of Light." A fine production by the Swedish based producer which could easily gather deserving comparisons to the likes of TEED or even Disclosure. Comparisons aside though, the tune is 100 percent Crackazat and so much more. Not only is it completely produced by him but he's made an impressive vocal debut on the track.

Time to welcome back Argentinian producer Manuel Sahagun to Freerange for his follow up to his brilliant 2019 release Awake. Manuel has been putting out quality house music since the early 2000’s and has released tunes on Berlin’s Tooman, UK’s Drop, and Detroit’s Kolour as well as remixing legends such as Warren ‘Hanna’ Harris, Robert Owens and Patrick Chardronnet. He brings a freshness and eclecticism to his productions that fits in perfectly with the Freerange ethos of forward-thinking house music loaded with warmth, bumping grooves and a touch of soul.

The three tracks on offer here range from the acid-tinged, 707 driven ‘Body’ through shuffled, Detroit-inspired groove of ‘Move’ and closing out on the slow-mo blissed-out Balearic mood on ‘Ritmo Pandemico’. Some great new music to keep your discerning dance floors bouncing to!

Release Text:
Freerange Records are happy to present the first of two EP’s taken from Crackazat’s forthcoming long-player, ‘Evergreen’. Featuring a stunning remix from Chicago house innovator, Ron Trent, the jazz-soaked EP serves as a tantalising preview of the tour de force that will soon follow.

Blending the purest forms of deep house with authentic jazz sensibilities, EP opener 'Beacon Of Light' bursts with themes of positivity and gratitude. The virtuoso instrumentation endows the track with a distinctly live feel, while Jacobs’ inspired vocal charges the track with soul-rich sentiment. Intelligently crafted to bring the heat in all-manner of settings, its floor-focused beats and compelling arrangement combine to affect maximum impact whether played in the clubs, bars, or on the airwaves.

Next up, deep house luminary Ron Trent steps in with his awe-inspiring take on Crackazat’s modern jazz ballad, ‘Simple Things’. Trent needs little in the way of introduction, a bonafide Chicago house legend whose spiritually-infused sound is unmistakably his own and never fails to mesmerise. Lifting elements of the Robert Glasper-inspired original while spacing out the stirring falsetto vocal, Trent stretches the track into a meandering deep house epic. Voyaging through waves of Latin percussion, ethereal piano keys, and psychedelic synth sweeps, Trent takes us on a profoundly affecting dancefloor journey as only he can.

Next to arrive is Crackazat’s ‘Maritime Dub’ take on ‘Beacon Of Light’. Evolving over skippy house drums and thick bass, chords rise in to caress the looped and filtered vocal, periodically opening up into the full chorus line to add shimmer to the heads-down house bump. Aimed squarely at moving dancefloors while delicately tripped-out, this simmering groove sure to hit home with fans of the trademark Crackazat sonic.

Finally, the LP’s title track 'Evergreen’ launches with a sprightly jazz swing before dusty drums add weight to the sophisticated instrumentation. Here we find Jacobs presenting jazz and house as a single entity, with carefully orchestrated wind instruments, keys and mallets dancing over an improvised walking bass line, as the distant vocal elevates the track far into the stratosphere.

This four-track collection is destined to turn heads, alerting the extended dance community to the sheer scope of Crackazat’s forthcoming album and offering a glimpse into the breathtaking musical universe that awaits.

Artist: Hyenah
Title: The Wish
Release Date: 24th March (Vinyl) 31st March (Digital) 2014 
Format: Vinyl/Digital
Cat No: FR190/FRD190

Is the Hyenah from Joburg or from Berlin? It could be both, or maybe
neither. We don’t know. And we don’t really care because the music has hit
us in a huge way and we’re just happy to be bringing you this serious club
pressure with the debut Hyenah release here on Freerange. On lead track
The Wish (Dub) we’re treated to a percussion fueled, bass-heavy monster of
a track which balances the dextrous, fluid grooves of the Motherland with
immaculate teutonic sonics just perfectly. Slowly moving strings create a
wonderful tension as the rhythm builds in intensity with rattling drums
taking centre stage and jumping out of the mix like firecrackers.

Next up we have King Kobra which goes straight for the jugular with a
stripped-back, bare-bones groove, a beautifully simple percussion rhythm
becoming all you need for the main hook. Dubbed out deep house minimalism
is the name of the game here, with the hypnotic beats drawing you in and
the fat Hyenah production engulfing you like a sandstorm.

Flip over for a brilliant remix from our favorite French DJ and producer
Manoo.  This man has been responsible for some of the finest soul-tinged
and afro-infused house music over the last 10 years with releases on
Deeply Rooted House, Buzzin’ Fly and Real Tone.  His remixes for everyone
from Maya Jane Coles and Louis Vega to Osunlade and Terrence Parker are
testament to the skills possessed.  Once again Manoo delivers in spades
with this remix of The Wish, keeping the overall vibe intact but adding a
rolling bassline, extra vocal hits and extending the arrangement into a
most glorious ten minute workout.

Artist: Nils Penner
Title:  I Can Be EP
Release Date: 19th January (Vinyl) 26th January (Digital) 2015
Format: Vinyl/Digital
Cat No: FR198/FRD198

It’s been a long time coming but finally we’re very pleased to welcome
back Nils Penner to the family fold.  His Munich/Berlin EP from 2 years
ago still sounds the business when dropped today and he’s clearly a
talented producer who puts quality before quantity when it comes to
releases.  As one half of Penner and Muder Nils has been responsible for
giving us such classics as Presence Of Another Man and their sublime remix
of Around Your Neck by Fiakun Team.  But he’s definitely a force to be
reckoned with when going solo too as his recent EP on Compost will attest
to.

Here on I Can Be, Nils continues where he left off creating a brilliant
electronic house track with his own unique style shining bright.  Loose,
jazzy drums keep things from getting too heavy whilst the vocal makes sure
this one keeps the classic vibes intact.

Flipping over we have Pittsburgh Track Authority delivering their remix of
I Can Be, where things get toughened up, stripped to the core and force-
fed more steroids than is strictly healthy.  Jacked up funky techno is the
end result, but this is deep and rolling techno with a bounce in it’s step
and a cheeky glint in it’s eye. Simply adorable if you ask us.

Finally, things close out with State Of Mind, a modern day torch-song for
the lonely, a hymn for the lost generation, or simply a deep and moody
tale of lost nights on the dancefloor and lost marbles the next morning.

Artist: Manuel Tur
Title:  Remixed Sampler
Release Date: 16th February (Vinyl) 23rd February (Digital) 2015
Format: Vinyl/Digital
Cat No: FR199/FRD199

Massive remix package alert!!
Whilst randomly flicking through his Itunes library Manuel Tur hit upon a
selection of remixes that have been made of his music over the years and
realized that, as well as many of them having gone criminally under the
radar, many are absolutely solid gold and all of them deserve to be put
together on one LP to showcase these beauties.  The artists involved reads
like a who’s who of underground house and techno with vintage names like
Pepe Bradock, Ian Pooley and Isolée rubbing shoulders with young upstarts
like Ugly Drums and Damiano von Erckert.  For those who are already
familiar with these remixes we wanted to make sure you had some brand new
and exclusive music to get your teeth into so added three brilliant
remixes of tracks from Manuel’s latest LP Es Cub to the package which is
exactly what you have here on this sampler release.
All three names need little by way of introduction, being Poker Flat
honcho Steve Bug, Feel and One Track founder John Daly and Innervisions
and Pets regular Aera.  All three deliver their own unique take with their
trademark quality and attention to the dancefloor all present and correct.
Steve Bug’s Remix of Ara Anam kicks off the release in classic Bug style
with clipped beats, simple stabs and that warmth of production that makes
everything he does work so nicely in the club.  John Daly is up next
ditching his more cosmic, spaced out deep house sound for a straight up
dub techno onslaught.  Not your usual Freerange fare of course but when
the music is this good who cares?  Play loud in a smokey warehouse or not
at all!  Finally, Aera gives us his spin on Agrafena, a twisted and edgy
track with crazy synths and stripped back beats taking us on a turbulent
magic carpet ride into the future. Or something like that.

Title:  Figure Of Speech Ep
Release Date: 11th May (Vinyl) 18th May (Digital) 2015
Format: Vinyl/Digital
Cat No: FR202/FRD202

The Swindlers return and not a minute too soon as far as we’re
concerned!  The hardest working duo in house music have had a
mental couple of years playing every club and festival known to
man, having babies, seemingly buying up the entire stock of vintage
studio gear off ebay and thankfully knocking out some banging tunes
on top of all that.  Well all club bangers gratefully received here
at Freerange so with open arms and ears we’re happy to be bringing
you the Figure Of Speech EP.
Just as the non-believers think they know what to expect from these two they’ve thrown a rather large curveball and headed down a different road. Figure Of Speech wears some African influences on its sleeve with a bumping party groove punctuated by some nifty
afro beat keys stabs and just a hint of acid. Victoria’s Secret
treads more familiar Detroit Swindle territory with the boys trademark shuffling beats and larger-than-life side-chained pads bringing the drama. Finally, we have suitably titled Live At The Cosmic Carnival where we’re treated to some peaktime tribal business with rolling bass, dubbed out dancehall science and some nifty conga work. All in all, some fiyah for the dancefloor from a pair of lads who know a thing or two about how to get a room jumping.

Artist: Soul Of Hex
Title:  The Muth EP
Release Date: 7th December (Vinyl) 11th December (Digital) 2015
Format: Vinyl/Digital
Cat No: FR207/FRD207

It’s a very exciting time for Soul Of Hex right now.  Not only have they hit upon a rich vein of creative inspiration and clearly loving every second of being in the studio making some brilliant music, but the young duo from Tijuana also seem to be inadvertently, or maybe purposefully, shaping a fresh new direction for the Mexican house scene. Taking influences from Detroit via Berlin, and with a knowledge of house, jazz, funk, soul and disco which goes way beyond their years Sebastien Vorhaus and 4004 are in the vanguard of this new generation of house producers and are already making their mark worldwide through releases on CVMR, MCDE, Faces and their own Vicario LTD imprint. 

With close links to, and a residency at The Wherehouse club in Tijuana, a Boiler Room set under their belt, a blistering live set currently being prepped, a remix and support from Larry Heard and further releases scheduled for Quintessentials and Faces, we’re happy to have got in quick while we have the chance and can present to you this lovely release entitled The Muth. 

Opening up we have The Third Eye, defined by a slowly modulating rhodes pad, octave bassline and a dusty drum groove to move you.  Next up is The Muth, another killer bassline (giving us a good idea that Vorhaus is in fact himself a bass player, despite this being a sample - the clue’s in the title!).  Laid back sunshine vibes all round with sporadic rhodes and tropical percussion fills. 

Flipping over we have a remix from hotly tipped Londoner Henry Wu.  Who other than the Peckham-based beatmeister and Jimpster’s favorite new producer to work his magic?  And work it he does!  Vibes for days on this one, adding his own unique sound to the existing parts.  Closing out the EP we have a third original going by the name Sly Batuque.  Once again the boys have got that sample heavy chopped up MPC groove down to a fine artform and it provides another example of why Soul Of Hex are about to cause such a stir.

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.


Lancelot - Tarantism [Freerange Records] (96Kbps)

Release Date: 14th April (Vinyl) 21st April (Digital) 2017
Format: Vinyl/Digital

Jimpster serves up the first single entitled Crave from ahead of his
forthcoming Silent Stars LP complete with remixes from Atjazz and
Flabaire.

In its original form Crave, which features the vocals from hotly-tipped
Londoner Florence Rawlings, is an emotionally charged electronic torch song guaranteed to get inside your head from the very first listen. The spacey chords and punctuating string stabs bring hints of the 80’s to mind whilst Florence’s gentle vocal floats in the air like a fresh sea breeze.

In addition to the mesmerizing original we present two brilliant and
contrasting remixes from one of the UK’s legendary producers Atjazz as well as Paris‘ rising star Flabaire whose D.KO Records has been dropping gem after gem since 2013. Atjazz spins Crave into outerspace with a fat, driving groove and twisted sonics making for an incredibly deep and forward-looking slice of aural gold. 

In contrast, Flabaire looks back to the early 00’s for his classic soulful house rework which calls to mind the sounds of Spinna and vintage Naked Music. Closing the release we have another original track entitled Where You Are featuring Berlin based US native Khalil Anthony. Here we find Jimpster doing what he does best, creating a sublime late night club track with his deft musical touch making this one that will stand out in the crowd.

Title:  The Sun Comes Up EP
Release Date: 16th June (Vinyl) 23rd June (Digital) 2017
Format: Vinyl/Digital
Cat No: FR226/FRD226

Following hot on the heels of Jimpster’s first single Crave from his
Silent Stars LP, we hit you with a second installment loaded with the good stuff!  With the LP just about to drop, and already garnering much love from DJ’s and critics alike it’s already clear that Jimpster’s 7th LP is going to ensure he keeps his reputation as one of the most consistent
electronic artists in the UK.  As a DJ he also boasts a good ear for emerging talent and here he hands over the reigns to two hotly tipped
producers to rework his originals.

First up we have the incredible Peggy Gou who takes on The Sun Comes Up. Her speedy rise through the ranks over the past 12 months has been down to just a handful of brilliant EP’s on Rekids and Phonica and her skills as a club DJ.  The Berlin based Korean sits somewhere between Detroit, London and Berlin in sound and her DJ sets are an assured, kinetic combination of dark, pulsing house and techno, broken beats and abstract compositions. Her influences shine through on her remix which goes deep and musical whilst retaining an energetic drive for the dancefloor.

Perhaps the most mesmerizing, floor-focused track from the LP is up next; Silent Stars.  An electronic tribal dance which builds to a speaker-
wobbling sub-bass breakdown and wonderful chord section at the climax.

Next, a remix from West Coast native Urulu who came to Jimpster’s
attention through his releases on Let’s Play House, Dirt Crew and his own Amadeus label.   Trying to describe his remix of Where You Are isn’t an easy task, fusing elements of techno, broken beat and afro house, but check it out and if you can think of a suitable new sub genre to
pigeonhole it with, let us know.

Closing the release we have the slow-burning, balearic-tinged beauty known as The Sun Comes Up featuring Jinadu on vocals.  This is one to drop in the warm after-glow of a crazy night under the stars when tired legs and happy hearts crave a soulful groove to give them one last lift.

It's funny how things turn out sometimes. You set out do one thing and what comes out the other end is something altogether different. Cue Freerange Records…
 
What started life as a simple platform for one man to unleash his love of house on the unsuspecting public, has somehow transformed into one of the most revered independent dance music labels in the world. Not that he, or we, are complaining.
 
Kick-started in 1996, London based Freerange records is the brainchild of two close pals - Tom Roberts and Jamie Odell. To begin with, this shiny new sonic springboard was used solely by Jamie to indulge his two production monikers – Audiomontage and Jimpster. However, once he’d found his groove, the pair started searching for talent that shared their musical vision. Soon enough, they were joined by a selection of new artists who also had a vehement love of groove-based, soul-tinged house music that united the organic and electronic. Enter Shur-I-Kan, Andreas Saag (AKA Stateless & Swell Session), Switch, Only Freak, Palm Skin Productions and Trevor Loveys. In these guys, Jamie and Tom had not just found a tight-knit crew, but a succinct musical troupe – Freerange now had a truly identifiable sound. 
 
By the millenium their releases were popping up in the boxes of top jocks world over – Garnier, Bug, Richards, Middleton - the list goes on. Tracks like Get Ya Dub On, The Bounce, and Get on Downz suddenly became synonymous with the house music of the time and even more impressively, big records for DJs who were known for quite contrasting musical styles. Unbeknown to them they had helped kick start something of a mini revolution and suddenly found themselves at the forefront of a new  house movement.
 
Since then, the imprint just hasn't stopped turning heads. As well as welcoming yet more exciting talent into the family fold - something that the boys hold very dear - the label has excelled in drafting in poignant and on-song remixers to add spice to each and every package. Their colour series compilations – which periodically sum up their latest wares - are some of the most successful and sought after collections in modern day dance music which is definitely something to be proud of in such challenging times.
 
Alongside mainstays Jimpster, Shur-I-Kan and Manuel Tur the label now has the supremely skilled, Detroit Swindle, Pittsburgh Track Authority, Guillaume And The Coutu Dumonts and Hyenah under its wing; all of which are artists in the truest sense of the word.
