N.OY. is back with another hypnotic and sinister remix. Bravo!

For his first solo EP, Tushen Raï designed a record in the form of a colorful patchwork of sounds, a meticulous collage of samples, surrounding noises and synthesizers. Here, Maori percussion dug on field recording discs from the late 60s and 70s meet Indonesian chants recorded on phones and posted anonymously online. A nostalgic yet deeply contemporary testimony to an imagination weakened resulting from the cultural globalization. 

With "Drums Circles", Tushen Raï wants to reconnect with the adventure novels, from Jules Vernes to Barjavel, which nourished his childhood. Thought out as an ode to the diversity of our cultures, our practices and our beliefs, "Drums Circles" is a cry in favor of open-mindedness and curiosity. It is an invitation to discovery rather than to conquest. 

A humble invitation to embark on a journey and to collective trance. 

With creating Hard Fist, Tushen Raï has found a way to bring together his two passions: collecting records and travelling. From Turkish psychedelism to Romanian cold wave or tribal african techno, his undeniable dancing sets are fed with powerful soul voices, weirdo beats and unknown instruments.

@solselectas

Sol Selectas run by Sabo welcomes back Unders who has been a prominent feature in the label's back catalogue. Unders has also contributed to other imprints including Kindisch, Under Your Skin, Sincopat and Katermukke along with his own Happy Camper Records.

Unders, is a producer from Holland, who had a break through song called “Syria” on Sol Selectas three years ago, and is a huge fan of the band Morphine, so he created this dance floor remix of their track “The Other Side” for his DJ sets.

With the intention of keeping the original Morphine legacy alive along with the spirit of deceased lead singer Mark Sandman, the original members of the band have agreed to officially release this incredible remix, as every time Unders played it the reaction was incredible.

Already rated by Mixmag as one of the hottest tracks of the Summer in 2017, even though it had never even been released, this special remix of an American classic will surely take its listeners on a journey to “The Other Side”, where “life is better”.

Morphine was an Alternative Rock group from Boston which formed in 1989. Morphine’s unique sound combined blues and jazz elements with more traditional rock arrangements, and the lead singer Mark Sandman had a distinctively deep and laid-back tone. After five successful albums in the early '90s they disbanded after Mark Sandman tragically died on stage of a heart attack. The founding members reformed into the band Vapors of Morphine, maintaining much of the original style and sound.

With a slow, smouldering sound consisting of saxophones, soft percussion, two finger bass and beatnik-style poetry lyrics, the bands bluesy sound has been captured fully in Unders stunning rework.

The lyrics of the track talk of “crossing over to the other side” and this version pays homage to the original and celebrates the living achievements of Mark Sandman before he sadly passed away.

Created by Helia Jamali, the Artwork was influenced by the song lyrics, and is intended to be a visually stimulating journey to an unknown but familiar place “with the preacher's wife”.

Italy's Samosa Records come correct once again with another clutch of tasty edits of 'Funk Purpose Vol. 1', and this purple-flavoured rework from Shit Hot Soundsystem is particularly useful. The English producer is a fast-rising name on the edits scene, and with cuts like this you can easily see why.

Sol Selectas is a label famed for its unique sound fusing ambient textures with melodic grooves and rhythmic melodies inspired by ancient folk law.

The label's new release welcomes Turkish artist Ali Kuru who recently featured as part of Sol Selectas recent Summer Sol III compilation, but now returns for a solo EP also featuring a stunning remix from the iconic Satori.

Ali Kuru has also featured on labels such as Exotic Refreshment, Underyourskin, 8Bit and Leng Records, building up a global reputation for being an ambassador of the Turkish electronic music scene, whose innovative approach has helped inspire the country's growing club culture.

Satori needs little introduction within the world of low slung melodic music as within the genre he has helped define the style that so many others draw influence from. Known especially for his remix skills, he has reworked people ranging from Acid Pauli to Damian Lazarus, and this is another fine example of his exceptional talents.

"Mazlum" opens the EP with an expertly produced sound combining Middle Eastern instruments with synthetic sounds and a skilful blend that’s neither too raw or overly polished. Keeping the earthy sound of the instruments, the sequenced percussion adds DJ friendly rhythms perfect for a packed nightclub dance floor.

Satori provides the second track with his remix of “Mazlum” which is set to rival the success of his previous Sol Selectas remix which is widely considered a classic of the genre. Focusing on the Middle Eastern elements, he reinforces the kick drum making for an imaginative rework that paints sonic pictures of Arabic landscapes.

Third of the tracks is “Donuk” with a chugging groove, vibrant percussion and long cello notes amidst an array of bending synths and vocal textures. An epic journey of spiritual transformation, this exquisite track takes on many forms with its enlightening aura of discovery.

The artwork by Helia Jamali takes us deep into a mystical valley of cosmic delights, eclipsed totalities, and outer-dimensional dualities, where your primal emotions rise up to the surface, and guide your path.

PREMIERE: Mazlum - Ali Kuru (Satori Remix)[Sol Selectas]

Sol Selectas welcomes back Russian artist Zakir who has also compiled tracks and remixes for Exotic Refreshment, Akbal Music and Nazca.

UK based Kincaid has been a regular feature on Sol Selectas along with also working with other imprints such as Disco Halal, Anjunadeep, Chapter 24 Records and Nie Wieder Schlafen.

Zakir’s two original songs are inspired by his daughter Yasmin, who was always playing with her toys in the background, while he produced the tracks in his home studio. The playful sounds of those toys appear in both songs, giving this EP a deeply personal meaning.

Kincaid closes the release with his mind bending Twirlygig remix of "Whirligig". He slows the tempo down and concentrates on the acid-lines, building up the tension to a point of near insanity, and then brings it all back down to earth with a smooth downbeat groove.

The artwork by Helia Jamali shows the playful nature of the music, woven into the fabric of our galactic cosmos.

PREMIERE : Zakir - Whirligig (Kincaid's Twirlywig Remix) [Sol Selectas]

From the moment of its release, Iñigo Vontier’s El Hijo del Maiz has become one of the most gripping albums of the moment. With South American and Middle Eastern sounds and his conception of music as ritual, the Mexican DJ keeps electronica in check as a valid mix of influences. The EP El Hijo Del Maiz Remixes, marks the end of an episode which started, in good company, last autumn on the Lumière Noire label.
The second track of his album, Bo Ni Ke, is distinguished by its original - almost implausible - universe, with a Japanese-inflected vocal filter and oriental flutes taking the beats into a crazy trance. Leaning on the 4/4 rhythm, Simple Symmetry’s remix of the track is also very playful (Iñigo Vontier recently remixed Nar for Simple Symmetry). The Moscow duo, noted in particular for the brilliant EP Plane Goes East released on Disco Halal (the Moscoman label which makes the link between east and west), pulls the track over to another - less terrestrial more psychedelic - universe, in their well identified ethno-underground style.

@mula

Sol Selectas is a light that cuts through the darkness of winter with its new compilation Global Entry, which collects tracks from all around the globe to embrace different cultures and celebrate what makes us all individual.

Run by Sabo, many know the Sol Selectas sound for being a unique blend of sensual melody, tribal percussion and spiritual atmosphere that combine to paint audio pictures of distant lands and mystical places. This project will take us on an even deeper psychedelic journey.

Often influenced by the local folk law of the artist who feature on each Sol Selectas release, this compilation features eleven tracks from Germany, Argentina, Italy, UK, Spain, Russia, Morocco, France, and Israel.

Each of the tracks has its own personality and it includes tribal house alongside low slung afro cuts, trippy disco flavour, and deep house that’s full of enchanting melody.

PREMIERE: Dio Come ti Amo (M@kossa Edit) [Anything Goes]

Dancefloor endurance masters Duro return fresh from their fourth anniversary celebrations with the return of one of their most enigmatic artists: / AMBIANCE \

Inspired by film scores, analogue machines and the twists and turns of existence, the Nicaraguan-born, Miami-raised, LA-based artist has hit the spot twice on the Mexican label before. Now he’s taken that spot and shot it right into the heart of the sun. Make way for ‘Electronic Emergency’…

Channelling the high voltage spirit of Kraftwerk with booming 808 subs, icy Street Sounds flavoured breaks and a touch of lyrical poignancy no one can ignore, ‘Electronic Emergency’ is a nuclear electro jam for modern day escapism. It comes with some explosive remixes, too: Rigopolar switches the beats to four-four juggernauts and swathes the original’s magic in heavy cosmic layers while Kincaid continues his impeccable vein of form with a moodier perspective, loaded with far-gazing synth spirals, tidal washes and slippery icicle arpeggios.

And the shivers continue as we huddle closer for the sweaty, dancefloor gem ‘That Crisp Night’. A turbo cosmic boogie vibe loaded with sizzling synth slap bass and humanised keys, once again / AMBIANCE \ doesn’t just hit the spot; this time he smashes it to analogue pieces. Good night!

Tracklist:

1.	Ambiance - Electronic Emergency (Original Mix) 
2.	Ambiance - Electronic Emergency (Rigopolar Mix)
3.	Ambiance - Electronic Emergency (Kincaid’s 'Overseer' Remix)
4.	Ambiance - The Night Crisp (Original Mix)

Third Attempt is Torje Fagertun Spilde, a 22 years old artist and DJ originally from Asker, just outside of Oslo. Now established in Tromsø, Norway, he is one of the young forces in the rising new generation of electronic producers from the birthplace of the Northern Disco Groove.
Third Attempt has a distinct and uplifting flavour, firmly planted in the smoother areas of deep house. His influences range from jazz to ambient, trip hop to classic house. Third Attempt's first Beatservice single "Shoreline" accumulated numerous accolades and tens of thousands of plays on various streaming platforms. After three two-track EP's, and one four track EP, it is now time for a new album from Third Attempt! 
The album continues his mixture of funky, jazzy and deephouse grooves, but, while his EP's have been aimed mostly for the dancefloor, the album is on the smoother end of the scale.

Vinyl  https://detroitswindle.bandcamp.com/album/coffee-in-the-morning-ep

Dam Swindle follow up on last year’s ‘The life behind things’ with some impeccable disco-funk on steroids with ‘Coffee in the morning ft. Jitwam’.  Two originals, a dub mix and a stunning extended remix by Norwegian disco don Prins Thomas.  On this EP Detroit Swindle team up with NYC vocalist Jitwam, whose recent album ‘Honeycomb on Tartelet’ and his live collaboration with Kamaal Williams have shown the world just how talented he really is.

‘Coffee in the morning’ is a funk fueled disco bomb. The energy is set by a rolling bassline with a live touch (thanks to Xander Vrienten) and percussion courtesy of  Mauskovic Dance Band member Chris Bruining. The track bursts into action once Jitwam’s vocals come in, pushing through with full-on slapback delay, which adds nicely to the vintage vibe.  The lyrics are tongue-in-cheek and deal with life’s more pressing matters like all the things you can have alongside your coffee.  The track takes a sharp jazzy turn once the saxophone is introduced (played by UK bred, Amsterdam based jazz dude Finn Peters), moving nicely between catchy riffs and berserk jazz-isms.  Its the full on original that works but if you’re not really into the vocals, there’s a straightforward dub that steers away from the breakfast related insinuations.

 

The a-side also holds the second collaboration, which moves into NY garage territory. Shuffling 909 percussion, live shakers and snares set the vibe along with Jitwam’s vocals directing you to ‘Move out the way!’. The track is bumping, the bassline is thumping and the crowd could very well be… (yes, it rhymes). The energy pitches up a notch once the synth hits come in and it flows up and down nicely into a section where strings, Rhodes and cowbells take over into the breakdown.  On the B-side, Prins Thomas takes you on a 10 minute Scandi-disco trip with live drums and Thomas himself funkin’ on the bass. He makes perfect use of the dreamy elements of the title track, making his version an intimate and provocative dubby disco burner. If you find the energy of the original is too much, this version might just be perfect for you.

PREMIERE: Dam Swindle Feat. Jitwam - Coffee In The Morning (Prins Thomas Diskomiks)

On the Corner Records was awarded ‘Label of the Year’ at the Worldwide Awards 2018. OtC is a story of artists and scenes that goes way beyond being a record label. DJ, label owner Pete On the Corner has created a home for innovative, border-crossing, genre-pushing artists. The OtC vision is to bring music to the world that is knocking at the ‘Door To The Cosmos’. The label is an inimitable mixture of Miles Davis ‘call it what you want’ attitude, Sun Ra’s Afro Futurism and the ecstatic soul lifting influence of black music on electronic dance music.
On ‘Door To The Cosmos – Dancefloor Sampler’ Pete has curated a volume of cuts from present and future label family. This first in the series, is not just knocking at the door but giving it a kick! It’s club music referencing the source, be it Detroit, or UK bass culture combined with future sounds rising from cosmopolitan hotbeds of sonic heat. On this maxi EP Venezuela meets India via New York, the street sound of Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania pulses through UK Jungle. Undergrounds pushing the dance, breaking borders and genre alike. Rhythms from the ancestors channelled for future times.

Following the release of ‘Luciola’ - our first taste of what delights lie in wait from their forthcoming LP - the enigmatic Swiss trio step things up a notch, through the hypnotic, Deep House meets Techno stylings of ‘Alma’; a track that makes you forget, or even care, what time of day it is, how long you’ve been going for and what it was you told yourself you should be doing on that day. As in the words of the boys’ good friend - poet, Jack R. Williams - right now, "what matters is the first sign of dawn, the unmistakable warmth dissolving the darkness”…yep, what Jack said. And there’s plenty more where this all came from as Marc, Dominik and Lucas unleash debut LP - ‘Palm Trees & Thirty Degrees’ - this October...

We're super chuffed to have the legendary Sean Johnston on Gouranga for the first time!

A Mountain Of Rimowa is Sean Johnston of A Love From Outer Space and Hardway Bros. Johnston uses the AMOR alias to explore how his varied influences can be wrought into new shapes: mining the past for a path to the future. No More takes the optimism of an 80’s soul staple and reimagines it as a robotic Italo disco anthem. His Sisters and Brothers in the East takes cues from EBM and New Beat but bends them into contemporary forms. Conversely His Sisters and Brothers in the West is a reconstruction of the same material viewed through the lens of 90’s house heads such as Clivilles and Cole - a Music factory for the 21st Century. Joker takes inspiration from early 90’s ambient dub and repurposes it as an early morning work out in the cosmic hole. In line with The EP’s NYC house influence, New York heroes Justin Strauss and Max Pask are invited to remix No More, delivering a tough piano house reading which will work the floor and raise hands.
