Luv Shack Records is kicking off the year 2015 with release # 15 - another blissful split EP, this time featuring Hard Ton and Daso, as well as Nick Anthony Simoncino on remix duties.

German producer Daso, who has originally emerged from the german techno scene, delivers two stunningly atmospheric pieces of modern disco on the flip.

First there's "I Seek", a dense and ever evolving synth driven disco track, with strong references to 80's pop and italo, whilst easily maintaining an original and modern feel.

Luv Shack Records is kicking off the year 2015 with release # 15 - another blissful split EP, this time featuring Hard Ton and Daso, as well as Nick Anthony Simoncino on remix duties.

Italian house music lovers Mauro and Massimo aka Hard Ton started off with two releases on Dissident in 2009, and have since then become the go-to production team for authentic acid driven vocal house with a classic touch.

Their first track on the EP ,"You Made The World Go Round", is a destinctly dubby slice of vocal house, complete with sultry stabs, piano and a catchy synth bassline.

"Keep It Closer", the second Hard Ton production, is a densely intstrumented house track with an array of chord stabs, hovering strings and a powerful bassline - tied together by Massimos intimate vocals.

Nick Anthony Simoncino tackles "Keep It Closer" to a darker place, tightly embedding the sparse vocals in a carpet of analogue strings, pads and bells - all driven by a percussion heavy drum machine beat.

German producer Daso, who has originally emerged from the german techno scene, delivers two stunningly atmospheric pieces of modern disco on the flip.

First there's "I Seek", a dense and ever evolving synth driven disco track, with strong references to 80's pop and italo, whilst easily maintaining an original and modern feel.

"Your Room" takes a slightly moodier approach, but still sounds very melodic and uplifting throughout its 8 minutes of detailed synthesizer arrangements.

out on vinyl & digitally in February 2015.

Berlin based duo Hotlane's crystal clear, slow-melancholic electronic indie-pophouse has many fans. After the two singles they released over the last two years on Gomma they now come with a full EP and this new wonderful single: 'My Favourite Habit' - A slow, sweet ballad. Written in the greyness of Berlin winters - the town where the Swedish actress and singer and German DJ/ producer live, work and founded Hotlane. Both are part of the vibrant alternative party and fashion scene of Berlin. Agnes Lindström works as a model, actress, singer and DJ and Jack Tennis is one of the main DJs at Berlin underground happenings, art events and off spaces like Kingsize or the new Konzulat club. The new single comes with remixes by three of - as we think - the most interesting producers of the moment: Berlin House genius Nils Penner delivers an almost folky, very soulful, version. Pablo Nouvelle, who currently gets a lot of buzz on the internet transformed the original into a space-electro trip and Pixelated's remix is a straight forward house interpretation that might find a lot of fans.

As an artist with already a lot of very successful material to his name, Rodriguez Jr.’s debut album Bittersweet is a highly anticipated release. There are in fact many reasons why people should hold their breath for it - an impressive 11 track body of work that features some of the well renowned and loved Rodriguez Jr. sonic traits, as well as a lot of new and previously unchartered musical ground. It simultaneously presents techno, atmospheric dub, hypnotic, melancholy and hands down hedonistic music, and with a focus on exploring textures and moods, there is something here for everyone to get lost in.

Rodriguez Jr., aka Oliver Mateu, was originally introduced to music through radio in the south of France, where he closely followed a selection of 80s bands, as well as forming a strong love for synthesizers. It wasn’t long before he was inspired to start his own group with partner Giles Escoffier ‘The Youngsters’, which quickly signed to Laurent Garnier’s F-Communications, taking them to some of the biggest clubs and festivals around the world. After great success, the project was put on hold and over the last five years Mateu has been given the space to focus more on his solo work and finally the opportunity to create an album.

In spite of his French origins, both Olivier Mateu's artist name and productions lean more towards his father's Spanish roots, with a Mediterranean warmth and party atmosphere often coming to the fore. Bittersweet, however, embodies influences from all over the world. Inspired during recent trips to Japan, Canada and Europe, the voyaging Rodriguez Jr. accompanied by his laptop lay down ideas in hotel rooms after playing in clubs and absorbed the different environments around him into his work. With each country creating a new experience, his touring has played a big part in the variety of tracks that are presented here.

Whilst the spice of Bittersweet was captivated in far away places, the main body of the production of the album was carried out in Mateu’s hidden away studio in Belgium, filled with many loved pieces of analogue gear and synthesizers. Ranging from the Roland TR909, for a classic house drum feel, to the Korg MS10 for dirtier sounds, and a selection of Roland keyboards to choose from, “I am definitely a synth fetishist! Ahaha!” (Rodriguez Jr.). Each has contributed in Rodriguez Jr.’s quest to create an artistic project of the highest quality and creativity that he is capable of, with outstanding results. He has also drawn on the creative input of two musicians who are featured in two of the tracks – And.Id playing his trumpet and Cari Golden’s vocals.

A masterpiece that truly reflects the Rodriguez Jr. of today, it also offers us enough variety and surprise to keep us inspired by this ever-evolving artist. Reflecting on the tracks Bittersweet refers to the contradictory forces at play within the music – it may be beautiful and it may be sweet – but be careful of the party animal it can unleash both in the creator and within all of you present on the dancefloor!

Finally, you might think, and right on time for the open-air season. Now, two years after „Syvsover“, the Berlin-based Dane, Jesper Ryom, is ready with his latest release „The Two Of Us“ – providing us with the perfect soundtrack for the hot days and the warm nights. Radiating euphoria with each bassline and elegantly bridging house and pop, these four tracks will both make you break out in sweat and put a smile upon your face.
Tied together with a hypnotically energetic feel, each track is a journey into the timeless depths of Jesper Ryom’s stylistically confident sounds. And while layers of intricate atmosphere continuously is added on to each beat, Ryom doesn’t forget the floor for a single second. The waiting has finally paid off and these four tunes are sure to enrichen the summer vibe, whether spent partying or basking by a lake.

1. The Two Of Us
Title track and opener "The Two Of Us" perfectly demonstrates Jesper Ryom's penchant for layered sampling combined with modern elements, as the synth bassline and direct groove of the drums provide the backdrop for this funky yet subtly melancholic track.


2. Trivia
"Trivia" confidently ups the energy level and directly targets the floor. With reverberating brass samples, unapologetic arpeggios and dusty vocals, its simple message is one of movement and smiles.


3. Ada
Vocal-driven "Ada" is decidedly melodic and contemplative while still balancing these qualities with a consistent groove. While the lyrically enigmatic vocal sample drives the verse, the chorus is dominated by both melancholic 80s chords and an arpeggiated lead.

4. Superluminal
The funky guitar, subdued percussion and pulsating beat of "Superluminal" takes you by the hand and pulls you onto the dance floor. As the grooving piano is slowly unveiled amidst 707 claps and tambourine hits there is no doubt about the potential of this tune.

The latest @Roam-Recordings is a tribute to Nicole Mason who passed in a tragic accident. Nicole was a major part of the featured artist collaboration @2-block-radius along with Tom Cloutman and Tee Cardaci founded in 1999. 

During the late 90s early 00s San Francisco was a hotbed for dance music. Musicians from around the word moved to the city and serendipitously ended up living within 2 Blocks from each other in the Lower Haight neighborhood. A community of artists and musicians sprouted up. Roam Recordings started there and label boss JP Soul ran a popular after hours spot next to the legendary DJ bar The Top. Tweakin’ Records was on the block and Nicole lived above the store where he kept a recording studio and was always around for deep conversation and a good laugh.

To commemorate his passing Roam Recordings is releasing this EP For Nicole. The original offering by Tom Cloutman is a beautiful deep house tune that captures the essence of the days of yore and the sound of 2 Block Radius. The EP also features three remixes from San Francisco family JP Soul, PillowTalk and Galen. 

All 3 remixes are very different and we loved them all in their own original way. As we could only share one though, we are happy to feature this customary smooth journey from the crooners PillowTalk (@pillow-talk-1). 

This dedication EP For Nicole is a slice of San Francisco that brings together many long standing members of the community.
