KOKO - 1985 Edits A. Peru

Artist: Various Artists
Title:  Freerange 200 PartB
Release Date:  23rd March (Vinyl) 30th March (Digital)
Format: Vinyl/Digital
Cat No: FR200B & FRD200B

It’s with great pride (and a certain sense of defiance!) that Tom and I present
you with the 200th Freerange release. Despite the best efforts of three bankrupt
distributors, an arsonist (who set the Sony warehouse ablaze back in 2012) and a
volatile market, we retained the fire in our bellies, a stiff upper lip, and most
importantly an unrelenting passion for electronic music, we soldiered on and here
we are at Freerange 200!
To mark the occasion we wanted to put together a compilation of exclusive new
tracks from both long-standing Freerange regulars as well as some fresh artists
to the label whose music we’ve been loving.  Being committed to vinyl we figured
the best way would be to do a two part release with four-tracks on each part.

Turning to Part B we open with a brilliant track with almost as good a title;
Hamburglar from Luv Jam.  This guy has been responsible for killer cuts on
esteemed labels such as We Play House, Tsuba and Phonica White so we wanted in on
the action and thankfully he indulged us.  We absolutely love the raw simplicity
of this track which bumps along just perfectly with not much more than a kick,
clap and single note bass line to keep you grooving. Apart from the repeating
piano stab hooking you in and sending people nuts when everything drops out in
the break that is.
Esa & Mervin Granger come next with the sublime deepness of Goema Heat.  Esa’s
proudly wearing his Cape Town roots on his sleeves on this one and as the title
suggests, has come up with the perfect track to warm up any party worth it’s
salts. We’re talking heavy on the percussion and tantalizing synth FX and a
lovely tension which builds subtly before taking things up a gear after the
breakdown when the bouncing bassline comes to the fore.
It’s fare to say a Freerange release such as this wouldn’t be complete without a
Manuel Tur contribution, so while we’ve been busy putting together his
forthcoming Remix Retrospective LP we’re happy to say Manuel found the time to
put together this gem entitled Laguenesie.
And last but not least we have Kito Jempere with his track This Is Why We Do This
featuring Detroit luminary Jerry The Cat.  St. Petersburg native Kito drops
serious heat on this raw and dubby club jam which we feel is probably as close to
an ‘archetypal’ Freerange track as it’s possible to get so sums up this special
release perfectly.

Chris Lake - Ease My Mind (Falquiat Remix)

Futureboogie roll into Spring with a heavyweight release from dastardly duo, Ron & Neil, AKA Ron Basejam, and Neil Diablo, who between them bring years of musical chops and (most importantly) ‘the funk ‘to the table, and don’t disappoint here.

In its Original Mix, ‘Pedre Son Éclat’ is a breezy yet sturdy slice of atmospheric synth dance, resplendent with swirling riffs and stammering bass.  A thunderous Roland CR-78 drum pattern keeps everything in check, and its sultry vocals flitter between spoken word and harmonious refrains, lacing the track with a superb ‘new wave’ feel. 

A remix comes courtesy of Man Power, the musical enigma that traded on his anonymity for a couple of years before coming clean as the English DJ/producer Geoff Kirkwood.  Having released on labels like Hivern, Throne Of Blood and Correspondant, Man Power takes ‘Pedre Son Éclat’ into even deeper territories, crafting a moody and spacious version that respectfully stays close to the original mix.

‘You Feel It’ ramps up the funk; the tribal rhythms, horn blasts and other micro samples keep the arrangement lively, all the while that bassline really gelling the track together.  

Rounding off the release is ‘Tears’; tension building strings and beats straight out of the school of Prelude/Salsoul lay the foundation for some grandiose analog arps, soulful vox and funky guitar licks, a super slick offering from the duo.

Tokyo Disko Part 1

Berlin's @siggatunez is a new name to us, but I gotta say, this track has kinda blown us away. Its been on repeat since the lovely @ourselves-label sent it over. 
Its like Nicholas Jaar & David August jammed out in the studio to create a summer festival hit. The sample chops teamed up with those huge mono bass stabs and Rhodes licks are addictive & satisfying to the ears & feet. But its the switch up later in the arrangement where the heads go down and serotonin levels go way up that certifies this track into a serious dancefloor heater.
This is some clever and original music!

SB PREMIERE: Siggatunez - Paranoia [Ourselves]

For WS23 we head to Leeds, where Clandestino crew member Joe Morris has been involved in the underground music scene for over 15 years, with a sound that takes in influences from the glory days of Acid House, the melodic elements of Balearica and the drama of Disco. Here, Joe vibes us out with a stunning Balearic house tune, Cloud Nine. On remix duties we are thrilled to feature a master of the Balearic house scene, Max Essa.

Wonder Stories is a vinyl and digital label for left-field house, disco, and techno. While their sound is eclectic, many similarities can be heard in the ethos of the music. It’s earnest, forward-thinking, and danceable.

A1. Baguette Magique
A2. Baguette Magique (Roman Rauch Remix)
B1. House Rules
B2. Jungle Breeze

Luv Shack Records‘ 28th release marks the return of Vienna based artist and label regular LeSale. The Baguette Magique EP packs three punchy original tracks plus a remix by deep disco don and Vienna resident Roman Rauch.

First off, there’s the original version of “Baguette Magique”, an uplifting dance opus carried by a tantalising disco sample, a plethora of bleeps and synthetic patterns, evolving into a cosmic, almost-techno piece in the second half.

Roman Rauch’s remix takes out the tempo and the quirkiness of “Baguette Magique”, instead opting for a laid back 80s tropical groove, turning the original theme into an insanely deep and obscure chord sequence.

On the flip, LeSale takes things to disco territory with percussive drums, a cheeky filtered sample and a hyperactive synth bass sequence on “House Rules”.

“Jungle Breeze” wraps up the release, offering a hazy mix of deep pads, tribal drums and oddball flute samples.

Out on vinyl and digital. Distributed by Prime Direct & Label Worx.
