Growing up with and influenced by the sounds of TR-909 or TR-808 which surrounds you, then you would recognize Adham Zahran's signature sound and his unique skills when he plays with rhythms and catchy melodies, especially on this 'Grain Galaxy'. He also brings us tracks such as 'Ocean Falls' and 'Synth Funk Suit 1' full of pleasant dreamy vibrations that would sound amazing at your local venue, as well as if you just let the decks play at home for your own listening session. Head of Umanuto Records Javas remixed the original 'Grain Galaxy' as a classic house leg warmer to get it moving on the dance floor.

Alex From Utopia - Story Of Devotion ( Vinyl,  12") (Released July 28, 2023)
Label: Baldini [BAL001]

Baldini Records is a brand new edit-centric imprint out of Naples inspired, you might guess correctly, by the legendary DJ, producer and cosmic house innovator Alessandro Baldini. It kicks off with two disco versions that he would surely be happy to reach for. They come from Alex From Utopia - he is a party impresario and a so-called DJ's DJ. Both of these have already been getting plenty of high-profile plays from the likes of Lovefingers, Jonny Rock and Ivan Smagge. 'Story Of Devotion' has a proto-deep house feel to it with nice analogue drums and a silky vocal, while 'Ask Ives' is slower and more psyched out.

HiRO - Ruby Likes Dubstep (Kris Wadsworth Remix)

https://www.facebook.com/Abe-Duque-90121941228/

The New York legend returns with another five tracks of excellence on his own Abe Duque Records. Abe Duque, (real name Carlos Abraham Duque Alcivar), remains a vital presence in the techno scene, intimately linked with the development of the genre via his hometown New York. 

Darkside (Redone Mix) is typically deranged – switching from a long intro into a bubbling 80’s influenced 303 jam before breaking down to a sparkling melodic ending. More Comfortable For You is an epic opener - a driving analog techno jam with his signature sound design and intoxicating use of vocal cut ups and snippets. A disembodied sax reminds us that we are in the presence of a man that never plays it safe.  Don’t Stop is heads down robot rave music while Neyahh manages to incorporate some seriously classic elements - breakbeats, sub bass, bird tweets and a New Order style bass line. Futureshock closes this package of diverse and adventurous dance music with a more traditionally 90s vibe  - a unhinged, ravey lead, tight percussion and unexpected breakdowns - the stuff that sets Mr Duque apart from the crowd.
Don't Stop, Neyahh and Futureshock were actually created back in the eighties.

Label: SKYLAX RECORDS
Artist: Signal ST
Format: Vinyl
Cat Number: LAXSHE1 
EP Title: Under The Garage 
Release Date: June 1st, 2018
Support it: https://kompakt.fm/releases/under_the_garage

To celebrate two decades of Skylax Records and a long musical partnership, DJ Sprinkles and Hardrock Striker team up as S.H.E. (SKYLAX HOUSE EXPLOSION) to present the first of three exclusive vinyl releases accompanying the Mix CD for the 20 Years Compilation. All three EPs feature previously unreleased music personally curated by DJ Sprinkles and Hardrock Striker. Under The Garage presents all new music from Move D, Jason Grove & Merwyn Sanders, An Expresso and Signal St as a referential homage to the 80s club of New York City; a space that commercially paved the way for the evolution of dance music (music of the “house”) as well as spaces around which queer communities could feel safe - all to the sounds of DJs like Larry Levan and Frankie Knuckles. Jason Grove is a long-time collaborator with Skylax, along with Signal St who has released on its sub label - Wax Classic - as Garage Shelter, but for Move D, it is his first outing on the imprint. Move D is one of the few veteran deep house DJs still touring consistently having started out in the early nineties. Of course he is synonymous with more than just house music, but when he operates within the boundaries of the genre, the German producer’s sound allies closely with both the Skylax imprint and the DJ Sprinkles record bag; the latter, known to feature many of his tracks including Your Personal Healer making David Moufang’s presence on the compilation all the more relevant. Sharing the A side with Move D and collaborating with Jason Grove is the highly adept Merwyn Sanders from Chicago who, most recently, reissued the in-demand 2000 (And We're Still Here) EP featuring the deep house ear worm, Mimi Likes To Dance. Grove’s slamming-but-smooth style is ever-present as is Merwyn’s taste for sleek production hooks, which can be found throughout Deep in Your Heart. Out of Anaheim in California, An Expresso was signed 5 years ago to Skylax but has already cut his teeth on a few high profile records in house as well as garage and hip hop. His aptly named cut on the compilation, Club Called The Garage opens the mix by DJ Sprinkles, its ghostly reverberated vocal samples are ominously placed as if coming from a place of remembrance (as distinct from nostalgia); moving and dark, especially from a producer so young. The processes of the post-industrial consumer society in which you most likely reside have made the remembrance of small, queer spaces as they pertain to the origin of once-hyper specific genres virtually impossible. We are sold a narrative that relates less to the origins of such marginalised communities and more to what major distributors have decided will sell. It is only through the work of labels like Skylax Records and DJ Sprinkles’ Comatonse Recordings that the origins of house music find their way into the record bags of contemporary DJs. Skylax has a long relationship with DJ Sprinkles and since its early days of Parisonic, has always maintained: Stay Underground, It Pays! One part of three releases, Under The Garage accompanies Under The Loft and Under The Ballroom; three pieces of the SKYLAX HOUSE EXPLOSION 20 Year Compilation.

"Skylax head honcho Hardrock Striker teams up with DJ Sprinkles, celebrating two decades of Skylax Records and bringing politics to the dancefloor on Skylax House Explosion (S.H.E.). They present the second of three exclusive vinyl releases, accompanying the mix CD for the 20-year compilation. On this volume, Turkish producer Sinan Kaya kicks off the A-side with the classic deep house vibe of "What's Mine is Mine" a sexy/smoky jam for the late night, Parisian Flabaire gets deep down and dusty (as always) on the jazzy "Riders In The Sun". On the flip, Slowdawn picks up the pace with his energetic yet emotive "Don't Play Around" and closing the EP is Sameed Alexander Rezayan with the sweltering disco cut-up "See Ma Thang On You"."

Phonica Premiere: Julius Steinhoff - Along The Coast [SMALLVILLE]

"Having previously danced "Under the Garage" and "Under The Loft", old pals DJ Sprinkles and Hardrock Striker are now throwing shapes beneath "The Ballroom" on this third and final part of the exclusive vinyl series accompanying their celebratory Skylax House Explosion mix CD. Fittingly, there's a trio of tracks to choose from, beginning with the tactile, loved-out dream house chords, fluttering FM synthesizer melodies and rubbery, retro-futurist Balearic house grooves of Lauer's "Bigs". Octa Octa steals the show with the alternately chiming and dreamily deep "Running" - all eyes-closed synthesizer melodies, elongated chords, cut-up vocals and snappy drum machine percussion - while "Soleil Mauve" by Violence FM and The Underground Soulsavers is an effortlessly good chunk of dreamy, melodious and ultra-deep house."

DJ Sprinkles & Hardrock Striker as S.H.E #3 - A1.Lauer "Bigs"

The waiting room was deafly silent, except the occasional phone ringing from the reception next door. He shuffled slightly in his seat, trying to avert the gaze of the other people in the room. He decided to focus on his feet, but with every muted cough and deep exhalation that sounded around the room he couldn't help but look up, occasionally catching the eye of another uncomfortable looking gentleman. His name reverbarated on the speaker in the corner of the room, and sheepishly he got up and made his way to the door, eyes fixed firmly on his feet.

Violet's Naive imprint return to midwest America for their next release from Ilana Bryne. Debuting on the Lisbon-based label last february with the crisp breaks and dub techno of Low Earth Orbit, her new EP Strange Adventure continues some of those qualities in its razor sharp rhythms and expansive atmospheres, however the four tracks are taken to new heights; beautifully and intricately composed, the entirety of the release flaunts a Chicago deep house sensibility that mirrors her formative musical influences.
