French Kiwi Juice live Session with Eton Messy at the Red Bull Studios in London.

FKJ Live - Eton Messy Sessions

We first introduced these strapping young house aficionados from Sligo, Ireland, with their debut EP as a pair, “Street Urchin”, a little over a year ago. Since then the guys have been busy with a massive release on Detroit Swindle’s label Heist, not to mention their unbridled musical passion lead them to launch their own label Splendor & Squalor beginning of this year, kicking things off with a sell out vinyl only pressing of another four track EP of their own imaginings featuring a hot remix from Session Victim. 

We’re pleased to share with you their latest creation, the stunning “Lamaj’s Secret EP”. Now, we’re not sure who Lamaj is exactly, but the mystery, funk and raw sex appeal in these four jams certainly has us wondering. 

First up we meet “Lamaj”, this track drips with delicate melodic samples, jazz tainted drums and bass driven funk galore. We asked our long time friend, Australian Andy Hart, to give it a flip for us on A2. He opened things up, deepened the vibe and brought some bass toms to deliver a final punch. The B-side begins with “Four Lights”, here the guys slow things down a little and remind us of their gift for nostalgia touched soul and groove samples. Finally, “Garlic Fist Pump”, as the name suggests, takes us straight back out to the dance floor, between the dynamic live drums, subtle vocal snips cry to the hip hop Brame & Hamo draw so much inspiration from. Welcome to the House of Lamaj, we hope you’ll take off your coat and stay a while.

Frits Wentink has repeatedly showcased his desire to go against the grain through the left-field electronic music explored in his full-length Rarely Pure, Never Simple album and an almighty eleven EPs. Frits now returns to Detroit Swindle's Heist Recordings – after a two-year hiatus from the label as well as last year's launch of his own imprint, Bobby Donny – with his twelfth single and Heist's fourteenth catalogue number, Rising Sun, Falling Coconut.

On this new venture, Frits brings four totally original and moreish takes on electronic music as we know it. The title track lies in penultimate place on the release takes top place for us. Pitch-bent laziness and purple tinged synth countermelodies sets the laid back tone, with the skippety hi-hat occasionally making timely appearances every so often to keep the loose-natured track chugging along nicely. Another signature, dusty groove from the name that's also behind techno outpost, Will & Ink. As the label put it themselves – the release is basically a case of "classic Heist, classic Frits."

Keep an eye out for Rising Sun, Falling Coconut dropping on vinyl and digitally on 25th January, as well as news of Fritz' project with some legendary and likeminded producers in the pipeline. All coming soon.

Felix Leifur | The Sunday Club EP | Dirt Crew Recordings

Cat No. : DIRT097
Rel Date : 23.05.16

Track list: 
A1 – Berg Toppur
A2 – Giving
B1 – The Sunday Club
B2 – Berg Toppur (Hidden Spheres „Rocky Top“ Remix)
Digi Only – Wait

Release Info: 
Introducing Felix Leifur, Dirt Crew’s latest discovery, an all new, raw and savvy talent from Reykjavík, Iceland. Reykjavík has a population of just over 120,000, so the disco, hip hop and soul sampling, house music community that Felix rolls with is pretty tight knit, giving him a unique and inspired perspective on the sound. Remixing is friend of the label, Manchester’s Hidden Spheres. After breaking through on our ‘Deep Love 10’ compilation, he went on to drop his ‘Waiting’ EP last summer on ‘Distant Hawaii’ (the dreamy offshoot of ‘Lobster Theremin’).

On the A, ‘Berg Toppur’, is a dance floor workout, a sublime balance of shimmering rhodes and vibrant arps with slamming organic percussion. ‘Giving’ is a spirited and warbling cut, crooning vocals and gritty horn blasts punctuate it’s steady groove and loose live clap. This one’s got open air written all over it.

On the B-side, ‘The Sunday Club’ is a eclectic and somewhat eccentric jam, samples from across decades, weave together to create something altogether new. Next up, Hidden Spheres’ “Rocky Top” remix of ‘Berg Toppur’ eases in with a casual vibe, steamy drums, and a no-nonsense bass line set the pace, while the arps and elated vocals from the original sweep and soar, building to a feverish peak of sun-scorched bliss. Finally, ’Wait’ sets the mood with a dusty jazz piano refrain and a strutting groove, before bringing the playful yet punchy trip home with a solid head-nodding bass line.

Felix Leifur’s diverse ear and distinct style gives ‘The Sunday Club’ EP the perfect blend of breezy summertime spirit and serious night club heat.

Tori Karaage

His smile was distorted in the glare of the sunlight. It sat eerily upon his usually glumstruck face, Brando had arrived. There was an evil sense of foreboding as he marched towards the crowd of onlookers. He was the star of the show and everything he had ever wanted was waiting for him on the other side. All he had to do was walk forwards, disregarding their cries and the shock from those whom quite simply did not understand or know any better. Brando had risen. 

Axe Traxx return with their third release. This time they feature an array of talent including Kid Mark, Dj Pegasuz, FTPup and Fede LNG. However, it is the Ruff & Stax track which steals the show in our humble opinion.

On the “Can’t hold it” EP, the guys showcase their love for lush disco, analogue basslines and leftfield musicians, bringing in NYC native Willie Burns for a remix that shows you the darkest side of Heist yet.
The title track and EP opener should feel like a warm welcome to those who enjoyed last year’s “Howsmusic” so much: warm subs, galloping hi-hats and an exotic synth loop that’ll get stuck in your head for hours and hours.
“Just not Norma” goes on in a similar manner, this time built around a few simple but effective keys chops and the lovely solo work of Mark de Clive-Lowe, adding a dash of emotional P-funk to the groove.
The B-side takes a jump into more electronic territory with both versions of “Tamarindus hollandicus”. The original evolves around a bell- like percussion loop and a roaring Moog bass, with synth, strings and piano loops exchanging their spot on center stage. Willie Burns gets all dark and trippy on his excursion into electro territory. Machinegun-like claps and haunting strings accompany the breakbeat-not-breakbeat and ruthless bassline to give the EP a thrilling finale.
These 4 tracks show you a wide variation of dancefloor moods and hopefully will make you fist pump, strip, get down, jump, scream or do whatever it is you do when you’re releasing your energy at a party.

Yours Sincerely, Maarten & Lars.

Seb Wildblood, one of the driving forces behind Church Records, makes his debut on Let’s Play House with an EP called ‘Familiar Boundaries’.

The first of the four tracks ‘Necessary Happiness’ sets the tone of the EP with chilled house beats featuring keys by Paul Cut.

An embellished and brighter version of the first track is repeated later with a mix by Mad Sax.

Seb finishes things off with ‘Pass the Pen’, a jazzy hip-hop beat accompanied with loose instrumentals.
