Selectors Assemble bring you yet another fantastic premiere this month - this time a track from WheelUP's debut album titled 'Good Love' which is coming out this Friday on Tru Thoughts records (PRE-ORDER on Bandcamp). On this track titled 'Rise Above' WheelUP (Danny Wheeler) collaborates with the Drum & Bass duo Pola & Bryson, who also go by their alter ego Abacus.  One for the bruk heads for sure!

‘Good Love’ is the debut album from WheelUP. In the words of the artist: “Good Love is something that I generally want to see in the world. This LP is my pursuit of broken beat excellence”. ‘Good Love’ is an amalgamation of WheelUP’s history and success, a record that places him alongside legends within the scene such as IG Culture and Marc Mac, as well as contemporaries EVM128 and Neue Grafik. “The future is not yet defined, but it is currently called broken beat, bruk or the West London Sound”, WheelUP preaches.

Good Love

“Save The Date”, our exclusive today, is a fresh take on classic house & garage by Ben Hauke, one of our favorite dancefloor centric artists. 

Last Year At Marienbad, an Oath sub-label, is due to release a new mini-album by Ben Hauke, a talented and multi-faceted artist. Since his debut in 2013, Hauke has been exploring a variety of sounds and reference points to create a unique contemporary house style. His music features superb drumming patterns and deep emotional quality that ties everything together. Hauke's sound feels elastic and boundless, with a hazy, earthy quality that creates vitality in all its forms.

Hauke has released on a variety of labels, including Far Out, Church, Hear Other Sounds, Melodica, Co-Operation Recordings, and YAM. He founded WOOP records to experiment with his style, showcasing his talent for UK garage, jungle, and broken beat. With his latest release, ‘Save The Date’. Hauke continues to push the boundaries of house music, seamlessly moving from sweaty dancefloors one night to relaxing walks the next day.

"Save The Date" features broken beat masterclasses in "Make Up Break Up Bench" and "Let's Move On Bro," both with swinging beats and somber yet uplifting top layers of keys and flutes. The upbeat house numbers include "Watch Me Now," with gorgeous filtered melodic lines and evocative vocals, "Forever Me," with an electronic sax taking center stage, and the title track we are premiering today, with its driving beats and emphatic piano lines. 
The album also includes "First Snow," a sub-1 minute break showcasing Hauke's love of Hip Hop, adding a different dimension to the album.

Hauke's sound is both heart-inducing and pulse-setting, creating an easy-going atmosphere that washes away fears and sets the mind on a brighter path. "Save The Date" is his most complete and accomplished release to date, offering only the finest House-laden vibrations.

Exclusive Premiere: Ben Hauke "Save The Date" (Forthcoming on Last Year At Marienbad)

Rool The Dice

Into Your Story (KZREKchampa Club Dub)

I made a song with a musician I hold in regard, Kuniyuki. We then ended up remixing the track and what you are listening to, is the end result of my remix.

You can hear Kuniyuki's remix on his 'Kuniyuki & Friends A Mix Out Session' CD, along with a load of other great music from him and others.

Enjoy.

K15 & Kuniyuki - Moving Minds (K15 Remix)

Loftsoul & Miruga provide the deep melodic bed for guitarist Hideki Ikeuchi to weave his magic on "Roy".

The Remix sees Chicago's Abicah Soul, (a.k.a. DJ Stax) supply that Chi-Town bump, bouncing bassline and sweet keys.

The bonus cut is a spaced-out downtempo take on Nina Simone's classic "See Line Woman", featuring the vocals of Fae Simon and taking you on a dubbed out trip.

Release Date: 23rd March 2018
Digital Format.

Flumo and ANMA Records join forces once again - this time for a collaborative project between UK based Contours and Yadava. Cosmic Echoes was built over numerous jam sessions fusing live percussion, bass, drum machine, synthesizers and field recordings to create a raw EP full of soul and warmth.

‘Start First Finish Last’ opens up with smooth keys and alluring bass solo. The drum and percussion interplay keeps the up beat rhythm flowing, allowing for the bass to enhance on a Balearic and laid-back dance groove. ‘
‘Udu' takes the vibe on a more beat-driven road, with interlocking Kit and Udu patterns, floating keys and rolling synth arpeggios cutting in and out of the groove. ‘Speaking Through Broken Shells’, gets back on the bass and drum heavy interaction, with lots of influences from UK jazz scene.
 
The B-side starts off with a more familiar house groove. ‘Low Slung’, is a nod to the eyes down moments on the dance floor, with raw hats and shakers swirling around synth swells and heavy synth bass for introspective bliss.
‘Cascades’ swaps over to an atmospheric soundscapes, with plenty of stereo play and rich sound quality, making it easy to get lost in a jungle of flutes, keys and rain-line percussion notes.
 
NIAN’s remix of Cascades, takes the atmosphere up a beat and subs the rolling bass with broken beat rhythm, while Skygaze remix, of the same track, adds liquidity and reshapes the atmospheric sound into a more dance floor orienting mix.
