HSMD112  DJ Ibanez - Sway [House Salad Music]

Gone" wraps you in a velvety haze of smooth synth arpeggios, warm basslines, and ethereal vocal textures, creating a soundscape that feels like sinking into a plush couch after a long day. The track’s unhurried tempo and shimmering melodies evoke the golden glow of a coastal sunset, where time slows and stress dissolves. It’s equal parts nostalgic and forward-thinking—a modern chill-house gem designed for infinite replays.

#HSMPREMIERE
Artist: Stogov 
Track: Wonder Story 
Release name: Aroma
Label: Esquimau
Release date: 14-Feb-25
Buy: https://esquimaumusique.bandcamp.com/album/aroma

Stogov makes his return to the Esquimau imprint after last year's collaborative release with Alexey Zhurba, this time offering a solo EP titled 'Aroma'. Building on a similar sonic foundation, this release brings a fresh, late-night radio session energy, where velvety Rhodes and jazzy piano licks solid sonic soundscape. On remix duty is French producer Sable Blanc, who has built a reputation for his smooth, creamy, and buttery sound. His rework of 'Aroma' takes the track in a new direction, infusing it with an atmospheric jungle twist. Sable Blanc revives the nostalgic sound of 90s intelligent broken beats, adding a layer of complexity and groove while still preserving the original track's ethereal charm. The second track, 'Wonder Story' shifts gears with a more club-ready vibe. This garage house anthem features signature elements like shuffling syncopated drums, deep, soulful organ chords, and stabs that give the track its dynamic energy.

PREMIERE: Stogov - Wonder Story [Esquimau]

After the groovy success of their debut single "Hold It Down," Canadian funk house duo TheClaw returns to Solardish Records — this time with two electrifying remixes that breathe new life into their signature track. Hailing from Quebec City, TheClaw — comprised of childhood friends and former jazz bandmates Nicolas and Xavier — has carved out a fresh, soulful lane in the house scene with their unique blend of funk, blues, and jazz-rooted groove. “Hold It Down,” their first full-length production, tells a story of friendship, reconnection, and creative evolution. Originally conceived during pandemic-era jam sessions, the track became a defining moment for the duo and a powerful foundation for their growing sound. Now, Solardish Records celebrates Hold It Down with two bold reinterpretations: Stevie Williams Remix – UK-based house maestro Stevie Williams takes the original to new heights with a deep, rhythmic drive and shimmering synth textures. Infused with classic house energy and deep inflections, this remix is pure late-night gold. Canadian artist Stevie Williams has spent over a decade refining his sound as both a producer and a 12-year DJ veteran. Known for his infectious grooves and ability to light up dancefloors worldwide, Stevie is not just an artist but a connector — using the universal language of music to bring people together. Having played countless festivals and clubs, his deep understanding of sound and unwavering commitment to his craft have earned him a solid reputation. Balancing the roles of artist, student, and mentor, Stevie continues to push boundaries and inspire the next generation of electronic music lovers. Zweiklang Disco Mix – German duo Zweiklang deliver a glitzy, retro-tinged version that transforms “Hold It Down” into a full-on dancefloor celebration. Think analog basslines, cosmic pads, and a groove so smooth it feels like velvet on wax. Zweiklang are twin brothers, music producers and DJs based between Germany and Switzerland. Their musical journey began early, shaped by experiences at legendary Ibiza clubs like Pacha, Space, and DC10. That early exposure lit a lifelong fire for underground house music, evolving from DJing into a full-fledged production obsession. Their sound blends deep house, afro house and soulful house. Their tracks have reached #1 on the DJ Tunes Deep House Charts, and they’ve graced stages across the globe—from Café del Mar Ibiza to Nikki Beach Miami. Driven by a future-forward philosophy, Zweiklang founded their own record label continuing their mission to spotlight quality underground sounds. With the two standout reinterpretations, this remix package is built for both dancefloors and deep listeners alike. Get ready to groove, reflect, and move—this one’s got soul!

Kevin McKay might be best known for his cover versions and remixes. He has taken on some big songs (”Work”, “Gimme Gimme”) and delivered bona fide dancefloor weapons to the hands of thousands of DJs and millions of music fans. Nostalgia is so big these days that these huge songs often overshadow his original work. Over the last couple of years, he has been returning to his roots as an original, deep house artist, bringing the creativity and energy that made his 90s releases as Muzique Tropique, Sixteen Souls, or Studio Blue so beloved back in the day. To celebrate this, we are releasing a collection of his favourites, titled, quite simply, “Some Originals (Volume One)”. To add a unique flavour, he has delivered a brand-new single, “Deep Trouble,” and an update on his collaboration with Mallin and Nyla. Much like his production on Mylo’s classic “Destroy Rock’n’Roll”, we think this provides the perfect combination of dancefloor-ready sounds and poolside listening. Enjoy.

Story of "Bicycle Day": 

On April 19, 1943, Hofmann performed a self-experiment to determine the true effects of LSD, intentionally ingesting 0.25 milligrams of the substance, an amount he predicted to be a threshold dose. Less than an hour later, on his way biking home Hofmann experienced sudden and intense changes in perception. His condition rapidly deteriorated as he struggled with feelings of anxiety, alternating in his beliefs that the LSD had poisoned him that he was going insane. However,  soon his terror began to give way to a sense of good fortune and enjoyment, as he later wrote...
"... Little by little I could begin to enjoy the unprecedented colors and plays of shapes that persisted behind my closed eyes. Kaleidoscopic, fantastic images surged in on me, alternating, variegated, opening and then closing themselves in circles and spirals, exploding in colored fountains, rearranging and hybridizing themselves in constant flux ..."
It was not just for Albert Hofmann that his bicycle trip would become a special event. His “trip” was legendary. Bicycle Day is increasingly observed in psychedelic communities as a day to celebrate the discovery of LSD.

Glasgow Underground was set up in 1997 by Kevin McKay. He began the label releasing his own music and collaborations with friends and other Glasgow-based artists (Omid 16b, Studio Blue, DJ Q, Harri). Through his DJing and work for various music magazines (Muzik, Jockey Slut, Mixmag Update) he met some of his favourite producers of the time (Romanthony, Mateo & Matos, Idjut Boys...) and convinced some of them to join him releasing on GU. In the early 2000s, Kevin met Mylo and set up the Breastfed record label. The global success of "Destroy Rock & Roll" meant Glasgow Underground was put on hold. After leaving the Breastfed label in 2011, Kevin re-started Glasgow Underground and since then the label has gone on to re-invigorate Romanthony's catalogue with remixes from the likes of Dixon, MCDE, Gerd, Andres, Oliver Dollar, Ejeca, Audiojack, Claptone, Christian Nielsen, Supernova, Jimmy Edgar and Waifs & Strays. The label has also introduced producers like Daniel Trim, Brett Gould, Mia Dora and Illyus & Barrientos as well has releasing established & rising stars such as Metodi Hristov, Stefano Ritteri and Sabb.
