"Simoncino is back again on SKYLAX with the volume 2 of the Resurrection series ! The made in Perugia prodigy delivers us once again 3 titles paying homage to the sound of chicago, the fabulous triplet lost tape 1, 2 & 3. On A1, the aptly named Lost tape 1 us leads into the meanders of the jungle house in direct tribute to the great marshall Jefferson all sprinkled with some "detroit" sauce, this peaktime track will delight the most humid and demanding dancefloors. Lost tape 2 is more airy with these sparkling bells and its bass that lifts your guts, mental we tell you ! A bit as if paris gray was remixed in a hovering dub version. On lost tape 3, it is clearly the quintessence of the spirit of simoncino, his genius. This way of creating a universe that is both a tribute to the original chicago house and the italian dream house straight from the 90s. Completely trippy. And cherry on the cake on B2, we have a remix of the now classic "on the dancefloor", a title created in collaboration with Merwyn Sanders from Virgo Four (Chicago), from Detroit legend : Marcellus Pittmann ! 9 mn of pure madness. The Detroit - Chicago axis has never been so obvious. A must. Comes out on clear vinyl. Note that on the label's bandcamp, with the purchase of the vinyl, you can get 1 exclusive bonus track (& what a track !) : Simoncino & Merwyn Sanders of Virgo Four "On The Dance Floor" (Marcellus Pittman smooth remix)." 

"French label Skylax has always dealt in prop quality, no-frills, fad-free house music from a diverse array of artists. Italian Simoncino is someone with a proud throwback sound - his house is coated in dust, with dreamy Italian house melodies and a warm, fuzzy, glowing sense of nostalgia. And that's what we get here across three new cuts which range from the thumping tribal sounds of the opener to the super deep and vocal cut 'The Lost Tape II' via the hands-in-the-air piano house joy of 'The Lost Tape III.' A brilliantly low-slung, fizzing and raw remix from the one and only Marcellus Pittman remix makes this a timeless collection." Juno Records

SKYLAX 154 - A2.Simoncino "The Lost Tape II"

EMOO5 - Dj Face - Face EP

DÔME, French label curated by Astropolis and incubator for young talents from Northwest France (Brittany, Normandy, Loire) is releasing a new various EP to celebrate the next Astropolis Winter Edition between mental techno (Opäk), uplifting groove and soulful sonics (Daïf, Saint Misère) and a festive neo trance / ragga crossover (Valise). 4 tracks that reflect the new face of the French electronic music scene, for a dancefloor gathering plural aesthetics!

Daïf, Luminære label boss and a regular on the international scene, opens the EP with 'Summit Light', a disco and house anthem radiating good energy and positive celebration, with a luminous groove in a cosmic atmosphere. A breath of fresh air!

With 'Closer', the dj/producer Saint Misère synthesizes many of her influences, offering a club track with a catchy bleeping melody and haunting vocals, a melancholic groove, percussive rhythmics and raw and energizing basslines.

Opäk plunges us into the darkness of the night with 'Warm Us', moving towards a new, more hypnotic and cerebral universe, with a hybrid of industrial and cinematic sounds. Modern techno that is both minimalist and complex, shivering, metallic and immersive.

Rennes-based duo Valise closes the EP with the crisp banger 'Ragga Moustache', which, like their dj sets, crosses influences with a blend of neo trance, progressive house and ragga vocals. Burning rhythms and magnetic heat to set the crowd ablaze.

Between smooth groove, punchy rhythms and rave scene’s renewal, four bangers to warm up the winter!

Catch Daïf, Opäk, Saint Misère and Valise at Astropolis Winter next February 25th alongside Kink, Estella Boersma, Sherelle, Kettama, Marie Montexier & many others.

Release Info:
In our 20th celebration year we welcome back Loz Goddard! It’s been quite a while since we last saw him on our label. With his standout debut collab release with Harry Wolfman in 2016 he has developed a unique mix of electronica, deep soundscapes and lush organic Deep House on labels such as “Oath”, “Razor N Tape”, “Church”, “Outplay” and “Apparel Music”. Now he finally returns with a mini album that features beautiful crafted ambient and electronica cuts paired with three upbeat tracks that will for sure shake the dance floors in and outdoors this summer! Enjoy!

In his own words, here are some insights on the influences and production process of these six pieces:

The release is named after a night in the White Hotel in Salford watching Skee Mask. At the time I had a bunch of unfinished ambient ideas as a result of making “Balloon Tree Road” (out on Oath). There were a lot of ideas I still loved that didn’t get finished for that release, so I set about finishing them late 2022 & early 2023 with the view to releasing an EP or ‘mini album’ that was again angled a bit more towards home-listening.

The more upbeat tracks are newer jams that I created in 2023. I wanted to include a few club-ready tracks on the record as well, so the release appeals to DJ’s as well as home listeners. I approached the production much like my past two records on Oath, with lots of live drum elements, some sampling and a mixing approach which keeps everything sound warm and organic. It’s rough round the edges - as has been the case with my productions of late - and offers a nice contrast to my DJ sets and radio shows at the moment, in which I am playing mostly Deep/Progressive House, Breaks & Techno.

There’s some influence on the title track from the Deep & Lo-Fi House sound of artists like Baltra & Mall Grab, and I have taken influence from all the breaks I’ve been playing in DJ sets for ‘How’s This for a Vague Song Title’.

Stranger Than Fiction: Underground Remixes

And I Took That Personally (Get Even Remix)

Lately, I found out that I don't want to overthink anymore and remembered the feeling of creating just for the sake of your interest. I understood that I was in that state when I was a kid. So, this EP is me missing myself when I was a kid, and this dude on the cover is just the perfect face of a person when he misses something so much.

Buy the album, kill the dance floors, or just listen to it and don't overthink, guys.

Cheers.

Episode 191 Part A w/ Jad & The

Craft Music's Good For Dance series continues with its second instalment and this one has been curated by none other than DJ Craft himself. Joining him are talented pals Schmoltz, Bogdan Ra, Romain FX, and Outra, also known as Joutro Mundo. These deep diggers are celebrated for their prowess in unearthing hidden gems and transforming them into dancefloor anthems and that's what they do here as each artist brings a unique flavour to the mix. Schmoltz's 'Luv The States' is a peak-time percussive disco jam, Bogdan Ra brings some slap-funk drums and glossy Italo synths and 'Tell Me Why' has crunchy drums and jagged synth stabs before a camp closer in 'Colosso'.
