Dj Steef and Mr Bard are back with a Spoken Word track in the pure rootsy trend, using loops and samples combined to organ hit, to lift the tune into an hypnotic endless groove. 

Craig Smith remix is a real classy deep house demonstration ! Mixing live percussions & drum machine with a basic bass line, the rhythm part is holding some Melancholic Synth chords, 
deep haunted pads and harmonizing little arpeggiator, for a perfect simple but fresh tune!

My Friend Dario is back on Hell Yeah this August with more of his low tempo, high-temperature dance floor bombs.

Dario has been carefully nurtured by label head Marco over the course of a few fresh EPs in the last year. Just before this EP lands he will release on Nu Northern Soul, and earlier in the year he served up a stunning live set at the foot of iconic volcano Etna, so is very much part of the current wave of Balearic tastemakers.

Opener 'Desertico' has already been caned by ALFOS chief Sean Johnston who recognises the power of its heavyweight chug. Over the course of nearly ten minutes and two epic breakdowns, the tune builds on supple techno pulses, with tense synth phrases keeping you in suspense before the drop brings a sense of tropical rain and thunder.

'Sunset Outro' was the last track from his live set and gets your heady amongst the clouds. The churning drums, wooden hits and lush chords are dreamy yet heavy and have an effortlessly hypnotic effect that will lock in any dance floor.

These two tunes prove My Friend Dario can do no wrong right now.

Sunset Outro

After the recent reissue of their first eponymous album, Favorite Recordings proudly presents Vegas, the second LP from Venezuelan band Esperanto. Rare and sought-after for many collectors, it was recorded in between Las Vegas and Caracas and originally released in 1981. Following bandleader Jorge Aguilar in his musical trip to the infamous American city bathing into flashing lights and vivid colors, we're invited to an excursion in Disco, Boogie and Jazz-Funk territories. Finally reissued, fully remastered, Vegas will be available as Gatefold Tip-On Vinyl LP. Out on January 31st 2022

With great care and attention to details, Esperanto managed to create a very convincing sequel to their Jazz-Funk debuts. Vegas keeps indeed a perfect balance between various influences. Through energic disco beats with intense funky solos, catchy AOR-influenced songs, where Jorge delivers convincing vocal performance, or sunny jazz-funk slow jams, the album still reveals something quite authentic. And this feeling echoes surely the one that could have been felt by Jorge Aguilar while discovering USA on a trip - where it all started for the music he loves. Like sometimes a foreigner's enriching view on some local specialty, he surely brought with the band all his authenticity and young but vibrant experience while convincing at the same time major labels for distribution.

With certain notoriety coming with the release of their first album, Jorge Aguilar and his drummer Pablo Matarazzo planned to go to Los Angeles for a few gigs. But once there, they realized their contact had to leave for Tina Turner's tour in Europe. Before that, he invited them to come along to Las Vegas and eventually meet musicians there. Luckily, the plan worked perfectly: Jorge came back to Los Angeles with a lot of contacts then moved to Boston and NYC before finally coming back to Caracas. He told: "I was so impressed with this trip that I told myself that one day I would return to Los Angeles and Las Vegas. The first tracks I did them in Los Angeles with Kenny More, James Gadson and other session musicians from that city. Later, I took the tracks to Caracas where the musicians of the band recorded overdubs. After that, I returned to Los Angeles to master with Bernie Grundman who was still working in his small studio at A & M records studios in Hollywood. As can be seen in the title of some of the songs like "Hollywood", "Vegas", "Kenny's Place", were only the translation of my experiences at the time."

B2. Max In The World - Club People (Emotional Mix)

Tropical Animals returns with a fantastic record made by NICK ANTHONY SIMONCINO. 
The Italian producer, Deejay and vinyl collector for over eleven years and boasts a collection of over 10,000 vinyl records, mainly Chicago House, Techno Detroit and Garage 80's after releases on Creme Organization, L.I.E.S., Mathematics and many others, arrives to Tropical Animals Records with a Tribal and mystery work. The ep opens with "Persia" and its oriental voices leave room for an intriguing texture and a deep and intense bass. Open the doors of the city of Persia, we arrive to "Jinbì" that with its round and precise kick, its enveloping bass and its syncopated percussion.. it prepares us for "trip to afrika" where you are catapulted into a whirlwind of sensations thanks to its magical bassline. "Survive" is the most acidic dimension of the ep, mixed with tribal sounds from distant countries, which takes us to "Tikidò", a strongly dancefloor track that makes it irresistible with a mesmerizing vocal loop.
The ep closes a remix of the latter made by head honcho Ricardo Baez, which drastically lowers the bpm, making it dark, sensual and mental. Six beautiful tracks that you will want to listen to and dance with your eyes closed.
