Jitter Edits Vol.2

Trancid Zouk (Baerlz Edit)

PREMIERE: Baerlz - Trancid Zouk [Jitter]

For their 2nd release of the year, Mister T. records are back with 3 balearic House bombshells to light up dancefloors and festivals this summer.

@desert-island-disco aka Will, Spence and Will (again), are a British DJ/producer collective, founded in Bristol (England), and now split between London and Barcelona. They were brought together by a shared passion for timeless dance music from across borders, eras and genres. After 4 self-releases, they are stepping up production efforts, launching their first major EP on Mister T. Records.

With the Fighting For Truth EP, the boys have produced 3 summery tracks that reflect the different moods of the balearic aesthetic. Glistening is the most dancefloor-oriented track on the EP: an ethereal Dream House number that keeps the aerial atmosphere of the 90s scene through smooth pads, deep chords and a soothing sax line. Fighting for Truth maintains a similarly seductive vibe with floating keys, gentle synth stabs and a hypnotic vocal refrain. Although a slower track, it remains DJ-friendly thanks to its pulsating break beat rhythm. The EP closes with Lina; a housey track with broad afro-balearic influences, inspired by the pancontinental records they like to collect. Lina takes the listener to a remote place with floating flutes, melodic percs and lush vocals that fit neatly with the Balearic mood of the release.

Desert Island Disco - Fighting For Truth

The badabing diskos crew digs deep once more and comes up with two downtempo indie-house monsters from label regulars Vinny Villbass and Sommerfeldt.

Producer, artist, sound guru and DJ Vinny Villbass hails from Oslo with releases on Eskimo and Trunkfunk. He has also worked with experimental electronic artist Pantha Du Prince and is a versatile performer and musician. Here he works with Sommerfeldt who has previously worked under various aliases on acclaimed labels such as Paper Recordings and Full Pupp. He is an equally prominent figure of the Oslo club circuit and both of these new tracks came together while eating basement fish (fermented trout that's been cooking in a bucket of brine in a basement for two months) in a wood cabin somewhere in the Norwegian mountains during the pandemic of 2021. Opener 'Back in Time' leans backward in both rhythm and harmony and creates plenty of space for its heavy claps and hypnotic vocal cuts. This alluring and artful groove is perfect for both sunlit beaches and dark clubs alike. As always with this label, it's a track that oozes musicianship and class. The equally fresh 'Basement Fish' goes even deeper but explores harder energies as disharmonic analog synth mayhem is held together by rhythmic vocals from the ever-amazing Toshybot who was once part of late 90s supergroup Tøyen. It's a rugged groove with tripped-out synth effects designed to bring all new vibes to the dance floor. Vinny Villbass & Sommerfeldt have hooked themselves a couple of beauties for this EP.

LENG SHOP - https://lexathens.bandcamp.com/album/remixes-faze-action-ruf-dug

Alex Andrikopolous AKA Lex (Athens) released his brilliant debut album Waving in 2022 on Leng and he now returns with an EP combining fine remixes of tracks from Waving alongside two new previously unheard cuts.

The remixes are undeniably special. Fittingly, the EP begins with the first of these, a sensationally sun-soaked revision of one of Andrikopolous’s most Balearic moments – previous single ‘Punta Allen’ – by former Nuphonic fusionists and FAR label founders Faze Action. The Lee brothers’ take is one of those sunset-friendly workouts that wraps glistening guitar licks, steel pan style motifs, Lex’s gorgeous lead lines, hazy electric piano solos and life-affirming keyboard riffs around rolling nu-disco beats and a new rubbery bassline courtesy of Robin Lee himself. It has the feel of a pool-side anthem in the making.

Just as potent is the typically quirky and hard-to-pigeonhole revision of ‘Prezend’ by Manchester maverick Ruf Dug. Here he offers up a genuinely revolutionary rework, re-imaging the track as a sparse-but-colourful fusion of vintage acid house bass, saucer-eyed piano riffs, dubbed-out synth sounds, jacking lo-fi drum machine beats and squelchy TB-303 tweaks. While fresh and undeniably contemporary, the remix has an alluringly nostalgic, retro-futurist vibe. 

Clustered around these two top-notch revisions is a pair of previously unreleased Lex originals. He joins forces with regular collaborator Locke once more on ‘Libre De Amor’, an infectious chunk of, low-slung dub disco marked out by weighty bass, jammed-out electric piano motifs, spacey pads, intergalactic effects and mazy synth solos. Dotted with additional percussion hits and echoing female vocal snippets, it’s one of the pair’s most potent dancefloor workouts of recent times.

To round off a rock-solid EP, the Athens-based veteran blurs the boundaries between stripped-back, late-80s house nostalgia and nu-disco. ‘Super Awake’ boasts cowbell-sporting Chicago house beats and acid house inspired bass, on to which he’s layered all manner of colourful synth sounds, jangly piano stabs and spacey electronics. Throw in some typically immersive chords and progressively more psychedelic TB-303 motifs, and you have a genuinely triumphant conclusion to a formidably floor-focused EP.

TU ME TUES (Hysteric Eurostyle Version)

Legendary Canary Islands producer Ilya Santana recognised for his constant stream of releases on labels like Nang, Porn Wax and Eskimo returns to Astrolead Recordings for a second release in "Won't Look Back". Merging Italo and baerlic themes with a touch new wave and madchester guitars, Santana sends in a star-sailing synth progression graced by the slightest touches of a cosmic disco, slowed down, made lo-fi and chugged out New Order style by Throne Of Bloods always solid Hardway Brothers.
