November 2017

Having already earned his Balearic stripes some time ago, as one of the resident DJs at We Love…. At Space in Ibiza, Ian Blevins has since relocated to Berlin, and has been immersing himself in the esoteric vibes of the city.  On the strength of his latest EP on Futureboogie, this is clearly a good thing, as the ‘Round Trip’ EP is laden with the deep magical vibes that have also shaped his recent releases on labels like Banoffe Pies, Not An Animal Records, Blind Jacks Journey and ESP Institute. 

On ‘Round Trip’, an abundance of driving, arpeggiated synthesizers weave around sparse yet sturdy drumbeats, as thick pads rise and fall in dramatic fashion.  Panthera Krause (Permanent Vacation/Riotvan/Lobster Theremin) is on board for the remix of ‘Round Trip’, re-shaping the original into a merry, space organ led, tribal dance; with a splash of garage house vibes that soon become immersed in its own synth heaven, it’s a cracking remix from the Leipzig based producer.

On ‘Roland’s Rat’, Blevins keeps things tight with soaring strings, organ stabs a strolling bassline for a quality jam, whilst ‘Can You Count My Dream?’ is a dense, and cinematic slab of transcendental dance, an almost claustrophobic atmosphere only intensifies the drama and delivers the heat that seals this superb EP from Blevins.

Snippets of "Soul Adventure EP" by Hans Thalau
Release Date: 19.06.2017

Cat-No : cnss020-6
© 2017 Supérieur / LC 14550

Supérieur goes for round two after its relaunch in autumn last year. Some of you might be surprised that we're breaking up with the single release concept of having one original and one remix, but we believe the time has come to do so.

Supérieur will be more independent in the future, with an own artist roaster and also with a different sound than the one deliver with Connaisseur.

This release is by the highly respected South German producer and Dj Hans Thalau, partisan of the techno soul approach, which was celebrated for years by Russ Gabriel and his Ferox Recordings crew. It comes as no suprise that Hans and Russ are friends.

Hans' “Soul Adventure EP” is a timeless affair. Three tracks full of emotional deepness and classiness, and probably Thal Communications mastermind best works so far. We're rather proud to be able to release these tunes, as they do strike our chord exactly.

In the A1 groove of ST002 comes our premiere, and Leipzig-based Luvless' contribution to the release, "Vary In Colour". It's a trademark Luvless track in the best sense; a thick drum machine and synth bass combo serving as the foundation for ethereal grand piano riffs. The flow of the track is executed perfectly; building tension with strings and clever filtering, while percussion and hats layer in to really get the track moving. It's--in short--an anthemic track--rising nicely to a brief refrain before unleashing the full energy of the progression in the final third of the arrangement. "Vary In Colour" is purely bittersweet; at once beautifully uplifting and full of sad nostalgia. An ode to the joyous, fleeting moments in life and dance.

PREMIERE: Luvless - Vary In Colour

Almost wizardly Billy Caso (@billy-caso) arranges etheral melodies, carressing texture and intangible percussion to a true master piece.

SAY WUT (JKRIV REWORK)

"Ferns and Stuff" is Wild & Free's debut single on Discotexas. It's part of the much anticipated debut album from this LA based duo to be released November the 17th. Titled "Shapes on Shapes" the album sees Drew Kramer and George Cochrane deliver on the promise of their early releases with 11 tracks of languorous Poolside Disco, Tropical Pop and Balearic House. This first advance single stands as a perfect example of the exotic album's vibe. 

Both multi-instrumentalists, singers and producers in their own right, the pair came together in 2015 and have spent the past 2 years crafting a series of acclaimed EPs and remixes (for the likes of Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), Panama, Gigamesh, RAC and Ben Browning of Cut/Copy) that saw them tipped by the likes of Spin, XLR8R, Indie Shuffle and many more and take their live show on the road playing alongside the likes of Brooklyn’s Body Language.

B2 on Closed Paradise's upcoming Secrets EP

Closed Paradise - Chief

Fouk might have been curating Outplay since 2013, but their ‘Butterfunk EP’ is in fact the duo’s first proper EP on their own imprint. It’s not that they’ve been resting on their laurels: they’ve dripfed a handful of EPs on the likes of Heist and House of Disco over the past few years, and released solo efforts on Kolour Ltd and Razor ’n Tape that stormed the charts. It’s been fascinating to see the Dutch pair slowly break the mould, moving from heavy sampling in favour to an emphasis on original instrumentation and production.
The Butterfunk EP is fine showcase of their prowess in the studio, loaded to the hilt with contemporary dance floor funk. Things kick off with the rolling drums, off-beat percussion and seriously infectious Hammond lines of Organ Freeman. Title track Butterfunk is aimed squarely at the hips with its smooth keys and perfectly placed vocal, while some acid lines give the track a little edge. Flip over for the bumping ‘Wong Way’, a chunky workout with a rubber bassline. The finale of the EP is ‘Winter’, a fantastic slice of 80’s inspired downtempo mushroom jazz.
