Cowabunga warm up set @ Parkas, 2021.07.10

The walls were painted a myriad of beautiful colours, each shone and shimmered beneath the light which poured through the windows up above. The basilica was radiant and glowing in the light of the morning sun as the worshippers began to gather before the mighty old altar. A soft hum from the organ reverberated between the tall columns as whispers floated beneath the spires up above. This was a peaceful place, a heavenly temple of the great beyond. 

Chubby are set to release a killer compilation of house music destined to work wonders on sun kissed dancefloors and in dark, hazy rooms. This is house music as it should be, Ewan Jansen delights as per.

Vol.4

PREMIERE: Ewan Jansen - Basilica [Chubby]

Attraktors are a power trio, currently residing in Nottingham. Bass player John Thompson is a veteran of the 2-Tone ska revival, having done stints with both Bad Manners and The Selector. He also spent time in Davy Henderson’s wonderful avant / art pop outfit, The Nectarine No. 9. James Flower was a founding member of post-rockers, Six By Seven, where he supplied saxophone and keys. Antony Hodgkinson previously beat the skins for Derby “alternatives”, Bivouac, and collaborated with Julian Cope. Their debut, self-titled LP was released to some acclaim in the press, on Ali Renault`s Vivod label, last summer. The set referencing influences such as Depeche Mode, Eno, Harmonia, Human League, and Kraftwerk. Ron Basejam, from live-wire festival favourites, Crazy P, has now remixed two choice cuts for Brighton`s Higher Love. 

Heavy Water rushes in on a siren-like synthetic fanfare, while dramatic, rattling percussion promises some kind of imminent lift-off. Mr. Basejam doesn’t disappoint, delivering a dynamite, deep, bottom-heavy chug, tested by depth-charge sonar blips. A menacing LFO arpeggio propelling the piece out onto the peak-time dancefloor. Its snarl softened slightly as Ron launches that fanfare once more. Moody, magnificent, body-moving, it drops down to a conga break, and then hits you with some real horns, before bringing that bolshy bastard of a beat back. 

Maximum Minimum initially subdues, suckers, listeners with a more serene start - one of cinematic synths, and kosmische squiggles. Counterpointing this gurgling gear with theremin sighs and epic keyboard arcs. Suddenly this is all then set running, racing, to a riot of rumbling motorik funk. Chunkily bass-ed, its punk edges are eventually buffed by pretty prog harmonies, as the track evolves into an opulent, vocoder-ed, expanse. A piano rolling and rolling, as that robotic voice readies you for ignition on this righteous cosmic rocket. 

This 10" single comes with a free digital download of the Attraktors debut album. Just tag in the label @higherloverec into a picture or video of your purchased copy on instagram, facebook or twitter for a download code.

Cocktail D'Amore know a thing or two about party starting wild cards, and thus far Lion's Drums has proven to be adept in that department with drops on Hivern Discs and his own self-titled label. He comes to the Cocktail party with two edits of Manos Tsangaris' powerful drum sermons - visceral percussive flurries from a man with enough rhythm to partake in the lauded Drums Off Chaos project. You should have a good idea from that what these two tracks are about - heavy, physical tracks for maximum dance induction, moments of pure abandon and the odd firework or two.

For this episode D.J. City leaves his natural habitat and ends up in the jungle. Only what difference does it make? Temptations change, yet stay the same. Making his way through a sea of infinite attractions, senses sharpened seeking sensuality. The constant chirping louder than the occasional roar.
Aroused by abundance. what pleasure is he picking next?

Gates Of Light - Walk On (DUB 4 - ZU Mix)

Our Starry Universe is an independent, quality record label from Brooklyn. The obvious progression of three veteran New York DJs, producers and record collectors as an outlet for their musical projects. The label is about music for inspiration and relaxation whether you are on the beach or riding off into the sunset. Their next release ‘Need Somebody’ is the debut single and debut release on Our Starry Universe for Hazy James.

 

It’s a project by James Armstrong, one half of Birds of Pandæmonium and a Scottish born musician/producer based in Brooklyn, New York.  Hazy James creates psychedelic explorations intended to soundtrack the journey of seekers. The music stretches airy melodies that glide over feathery textures of warm layered synthetic and organic instruments, all held down by an emotional weight and anchored by hypnotic beats.

 

The title cut ‘Need Somebody’ is lush and melancholic, the haunting vocal chant “need somebody” with shades of Spacek. This is slo-mo house that may move the soul more than it moves the body. The B side welcomes deep house evangelist Sean Johnston under his Hardway Bros  moniker, who highlights the brighter moments adding colourful arpeggiated melodies over a bouncy beat, creating a euphoric dance floor future classic.  Sean has been a fan of the label citing its output as one of the highlights of 2020.  When offered the pick of the release schedule he chose ‘Need Somebody’ without hesitation, transforming the introspective chugger into a piece of beautiful Balearic bliss.

Explorando as raízes e vertentes da House e Disco Music, Agrabah faz da versatilidade entre esses gêneros a inspiração para sua assinatura. Dj e pesquisadora curiosa,Ágatha Prado, o nome por trás do projeto, procura brincar com as sonoridades oldschool dos anos 80 e 90, ora fluindo pelas batidas em 4x4, ora mergulhando nos grooves de Break Beat, trazendo um pouco de atmosferas não convencionais de diferentes partes do mundo para as pistas de dança. 

Como produtora, Agrabah também desenvolve suas influências dentro das vertentes House, Disco e Protohouse, focando atmosferas às vezes mais suaves, outras vezes mais explosivas. Com lançamentos de gravadoras como Filth Inc , Coyribe, Clipp.Art, Gop Tun, Ginga, Bongosynth, Trip to Deep e Gatopardo, Agrabah já recebeu suporte de artistas como The Blessed Madonna, Quincy Jointz, Nick Warren e Moskalus.
