The town of Sligo might not mean a whole lot to you, but after this release, you’ll know that it has brought forth 2 of the funkiest Irish guys you’ve ever seen. Their release on Heist comes after their chart topping release on their own label “Splendor & Squalor”, it’s is filled with jazzy chords, lovely loose percussion and well found soul samples.

Brame & Hamo – Parish rumors (Preview) - Heist Recordings

Now an integral member of Josh Wink’s Ovum family, the ‘In Walks Bourbon’ EP marks MANIK’s fifth offering on the label and maintains the high quality we’ve come to expect from an artist who never fails to impress.

This new trio of raw, chunky, house tracks see M A N I K diving back in to the underground sounds of his New York roots, with a splash of Chicago thrown in for good measure. Wink KD lures the listener with its catchy groove and hypnotic vocal sample. The breakdown signals a change as Chris introduces an infectious acid bassline. An ode to the Wink maybe? 

On the flip we find the title track and Chris smoothing things out with a nodding groove. But don't be fooled, as the track builds with a rolling bass that takes the track into overdrive. 

The EP closes with the jacking House Cut 2, and Chris keeps the energy high with catchy synth stabs and vocal samples. The snappy percussion drives the track, leading to a frenetic build.

Following Futureboogie’s triumphant start to 2015 with releases by Lonely Boy and PBR Streetgang & X-Press 2, their next installment comes courtesy of Ian Blevins and Al Gobi. 

Ian Blevins is best known as one of Ibiza’s most respected resident DJs, holding down regular slots for the island’s heavyweights such as We Love… and Carl Cox’s Future Disco. Following his previous release on Keep It Zen Records, Blevins makes his Futureboogie debut with four killer cuts both as a solo artist and with Phil Moody as ‘Al Gobi’. 

‘Flapjack’ opens the record with a finely crafted of synth lead, which slowly develops to become the melodic focal point of the track. The catchy bassline provides the solid backbone needed for the songs other melodic elements to flourish, with deep chords and stabs setting the tone and influencing the tracks melancholic feel. 

‘Tribu 2’ sees more of Blevins’ signature synth work, with the crunchy lead taking center stage in the mix down and driving the track forward. With more dancefloor dancefloor urgency than ‘Flapjack’, the string stabs build the tension during the breakdown, before returning to the infectious lead melody of Blevins’ synth work.

‘Cold Spring’ is the result of Blevins’ collaboration with Phil Moody, and takes the release in a slightly different sonic direction. Again, utilising melodic synths, and with the addition of an arpeggiator swirling in and out of focus, this piece is complimented by single note string loops and off-beat, dubbed-out claps, creating a dream-like sound, yet, still suited to the dancefloor. 

The use of melody is again apparent on ‘35K’ with retro chords and leads synths, complimented by classic drum machine snare rolls and hi hats, all contributing to the tracks vintage feel and a nod to a by-gone era.

Cesare vs Disorder - Vortex to Unreason will be released on April 27th on vinyl and digital.

It's not a simple thing to write about your own tunes. Your concept is innate, the music itself is in your mind and comes out as a natural flow, talking about it is a different thing.

This time I wanted to come up with something different for my new EP on Vakant. Something unexpected for the ones who know Cesare vs Disorder's sound. I wanted to make a few tunes that reminded me about those lost feelings of the 90s, when electronic music was made not only for the clubs but also for the soul and the mind, not directly for a purpose but as a natural answer to time and space. After the classic "orientation" battle with head-honcho Alex we finally agreed on these tunes "Vortex" and "Unreason", one I would say more spaced out and heavy-orientated, the other almost resembling those Electronica times when I really enjoyed flying with my brain and my emotions.

We finally also agreed to add a couple of remixes of Vortex by Romanian rising star Cristi Cons and Italian talent Fango. They both delivered unique stellar interpretations and I am happy to present the project to the world.
