Funk Remixes #3

otoño 2024

With release nr. 11, Luv Shack Records are once again eager to exalt the diversity of their releases, while keeping up the quality.

LUV011 is the split EP of the two up and coming electronic music duos "Manhooker" and "Space Echo". Whilst both projects are still relatively new to the scene, they have equally made a stir with their first releases.

Manhooker consists of the two Berliners by choice Tomasz “Guiddo” Switala and Sebastian “Mavin” Magassouba. Their first release appeared on Ostgut Ton´s sublabel 'Unterton' and their second EP was recently released on german heavy hitters 'Sonar Kollektiv' - a collab with ex New Yorker Snax, featuring a remix by Justus Köhncke.

With 'Pushin & Shovin', Manhooker are once again evoking the spirit of classic soulful house hymns. It's an uplifting mix of 90s organs, filtered arpeggios and thick drums all held together by an acid bassline and Mavin´s shimmering vocals. And not to forget the trumpet solo!

The remix of 'Pushin & Shovin' comes from Brazilian wunderkind ROTCIV (who has already remixed Manhooker on their Unterton release). He strips off the smoothness of the original in favor of a more raw and analogue vibe. Its groove seems like a merger of modern electro and classic house, and although ROTCIV´s trademark stabs and pads are used quite ecstatically on this remix, the song structure remains just as strong as in the original.

On The flipside we have Space Echo, the duo of Viennese producer caTekk and (Luv Shack`s very own) Lee Stevens. Their first ever production as a duo was a remix for none other than Austra on Domino Records.

They're offering two equally powerful cuts on the B-side; 'Soul Power' is nothing short of a club burner. A mighty and continuously building ride of funk organs and disco drums, all with a delightfully modern touch. When the vocal kicks in for the first time, ringing in the break, the audience will surely fall into a frenzy when exposed to it! The disco guitars are just the icing on the cake.

'Soul People' takes a slightly more sensual path. Expect dreamy rhodes, dubbed out percussive organs, an almost reggae worthy bassline, a painfully sweet vocal hook and a sharp rhythm that make this track a perfect choice for every warmup, after-hours and daytime set!

With all its ingredients, LUV011 will provide something for everyone who loves electronic music with soul!

Best bassline in the game?? 🛟

What a dinger - I have a grinning smile listening to this one. Every single time. Plus knowing that Jocelyn Brown is one of the 5 background singer elevates this celestial track to an interstellar level.

With a completely new intro & outro. All tight so it sticks like glue for our groovy sets.

Anthony & The Camp - What I Like (Cap' You Can Do It Edit)

Lux Experience – Disco Church EP

Norway’s Lux Experience throws the chapel doors wide open for the Hot Digits congregation to enter and marvel at the miracle of his Disco Church EP. 

Launching this ecumenical four tracker is the Heatwave-flavoured ‘My Disco Church’ - a groovy, four-to-the floor box cutter of a tune that grabs you by the boogie bone and doesn’t let go until you succumb to its charms. A solid, punchy 121bpm beat combines with slappy disco bass, furious bongo soaring harmonies announcing we are here to get on down. And that’s what we’re definitely here for. 

Track 2 is the pleasure inducing, brass tickling and tambourine tappin’ party starter – the simply titled ‘Muuvin’. Coming in at a deceptive 121bpm, Muuvin’ is one of those tracks that has you air drumming along to the beat whilst harmonising with the familiar vocals. A magnificent experiment in Brooklyn inspired funk, tight rhythms and dynamic soul. 

Track number 3 is the happy, clappy and seriously sexy ‘It Happens’. This one has a bassline so filthy you want to wipe it (and yourself down) with an antibacterial cloth. All shoulders and attitude, ‘It Happens’ is an up-tempo dance floor beast. It rolls, it bites and it growls. It bares its teeth to reveal a saxophone smile, leaving you trapped inside a Prince and Bootsie Collins combined fever dream from which you might never wake up. Outstandingly good from Mr Lux. 

Finally, we arrive at the slow-motion laser show of ‘Up Is The Way’.  The tempo is scaled right back for this final sermon from the Reverend Lux Experience. The almost sleepy and louche bass drum transfixes you from the off whilst slick guitar riffs and raunchy clav stabs do the heavy lifting for the incoming sassy, rolling vocal. Spellbindingly good stuff! 

The Disco Church EP oozes class from start to finish with four tracks that showcase the huge talents of one of Norway’s finest.  Lux Experience’s Disco Church is the broadest of churches and you’re all very welcome to join.
