Currently generating some serious heat and momentum amongst dance music aficionados, Man Power rocks up with a single for Futureboogie that further cements the reputation of this rising British producer/DJ.  The two original tracks are also backed with a remix from Ruf Dug.

Alongside his own very excellent Me Me Me label, Man Power has been delivering diversely epic releases for labels like ESP Institute, Optimo Trax, and Correspondant.

In its original form, “Barranquilla Trifle” features rave-lite stabs and deliciously sweeping pads over woody percussion and an omnipresent studry bassline.  A dash of acid darkness only energizes the mood, for what must surely be one of the best ‘sunrise moments’ tracks of the year!

Ruf Dug takes “Barranquilla” further on its trajectory towards summertime vibes; the sounds of the ocean sea gently breeze over the soca beat, as the Ruf Kutz main man adds splashes of percussive hits, huge M1 pads, and melodious keys to the party.

More 303 business coats “Kaon” from its opening bars, as Man Power delivers his second original track on the release.  An urgent breakbeat and wandering mega-bass soon evolve into thunderous beats and heady synth arpeggios, an almost post-punk funk atmosphere creeps into the bustling yet succinct ambience.

Going to Sahara

Tako & Abel @ Outlaws Yacht Club, Leeds, 27/09/14

Written & recorded by Graham Smith (words & melody, vocals, guitars, harmonica)& John Bentley (chord structure, creative spark, bass, backing vocals, guitar). This describes the moment when, as a teenager, I decided to leave my home town. It has a retro swing feel that's at once laid-back and punchy. See what you think. Feedback most welcome!

We got @Cuthead on Rat Life Number 12. You probably know this guy. He is respected worldwide for his one of a kind House and Hip-Hop productions. Lately he said, he got a bit bored with all the soulful jazzy sampling, the groovy shuffles and the catchy hooklines. So, he decided to do something a little different for Rat Life Records. Well, thank you Sir! Happy to present these five variations of banging sounds!

Since his debut on Moodymann's Mahogani Music in 2014, Dan Shake's been a steady supplier of soulful and seductive dance music. He recently launched his own Shake imprint last year and has released exclusively on that label ever since. This latest offering sees him step out as part of the Lumberjack family with more of his distinct sound profile. 

The 'Shake's On A Plane' EP will be released in October.

Vin Sol is about to unleash a new EP on Honey Soundsytem, titled Moonchild. According to the label, they have rejected "killer track after killer track" from the San Francisco native. "There is no artist in the history of our label that we have given a harder time to than Vin Sol," they add. "We finally made our peace, and selected the four tracks that encompass the Moonchild EP you have here..."
Vin Sol is a long time friend of the label with previous releases on Rhythm Nation, Nonplus, and Ultramajic. The EP is said to read "like a metaphor for the two sides of the city where it was made." The two openers, "Moonchild" and "Electrical Storms," "reminisce the mystical and spiritual love affair San Francisco has had since the '60s while "Patronize" and Bondage Taped" reference "the sexually adventurous side the city indoctrinates to all its visitors."
