DJ Laurel – Play My Music EP (HOTDIGITS115)

DJ Laurel marks his maiden voyage with Hot Digits Music with a four track, slow-motion groove-a-thon that tips a wink to the summer and happier times…

This sumptuous slow-mo ride starts with the title track ‘Play My Music’ – a soulful, 105bpm warm embrace that wraps around you and promises to never let go. The deft touches of rhythm guitar, roving bassline, brass and piano are second only to the soaring vocal which provides the heart and soul of the track. 

Track 2 is the aptly titled ‘That’s What Time It Is’, apt because you’ll know exactly what time it is when this outrageously filthy piano led stomper grabs you by the collar. Some nice and subtle gospel vibes can be detected here, but the main attraction is the irresistible urge to join this peaceful march through blues riffs, organ solos and those furiously catchy piano chords. A call to arms, some might say. 

Up next is ‘Street Tough’. DJ Laurel proves yet again that the downtempo vibe is not only alive and kicking but heaving like a crowded beach bar offering free beer. The kind of swishy, sultry groove that DJ Laurel has become almost synonymous with, this rolls perfectly along in its own ethereal vapour. You’ll never get tired of the sassy vocal. It’ll stay in your head forever, accompanied by the sax solo. If you’re not waking up every morning singing ‘Street Tough’ then we have failed. 

Lastly is the Fingerman Re-edit of ‘Play My Music’. The Hot Digits head honcho rolls back the years for this one and gets his best scalpels and synths out to lay down a seriously sexy and funky number. This solid 105bpm chugger has it all – glorious piano, bongos galore, driving bass, Rogers-esque guitar and that infectious, soul piercing vocal (with an added delightful twist).  A tune that has one eye on the summer and one toe in the pool – it’s on.

DJ Laurel’s ‘Play My Music’ EP is up there with the best downtempo goodness on Hot Digits – a carefully crafted, masterfully produced EP which is sure to be regarded as a classic in years to come.

Mos Def-Sun, Moon, Stars (LUPO remix)

For nearly two decades now Norway has been synonymous with disco music, artists such as Lindstrøm, Prins Thomas and Todd Terje redefining the genre.  Now, following in their footsteps, a new generation are breaking through and Even Hymer Gillebo, aka Cavego, has firmly established himself as one of the most exciting with acclaimed singles on labels such as Youth Control and Get Dancy and remixes for nu-disco stars like Satin Jackets and Blende.

Now signed to renowned Belgian label Eskimo Recordings, home to two seminal albums by Lindstrøm & Prins Thomas, Cavego is set to solidify his reputation with his debut EP, the sparkling and playful ‘Gudbrandsdalen’. Named after the famous Gudbrandsdalen Valley, an iconic location in Norwegian literature and culture and where Cavego’s family have long kept a cabin, the EP’s genesis began last spring when he returned to the place he spent his formative years to collect the sounds of running creeks, birdsong, the wind in the grass and create music based on his childhood experiences.

With his collection of vintage synthesizers, carefully, relocated out to the remote cabin, these field recordings would go on to become the basis for the EP.  Adopting a darker tone, ‘Vertikal Vind’ sees Cavego create a musical soundtrack for the long night drive back from his cabin. The resulting music has a hypnotic, dreamlike feel that perfectly captures the otherworldly, frozen landscape, the snowflakes whipping off the metres-high snowbanks on either side of the road illuminated in the headlights like thousands of tiny stars.
