Under his Awanto 3 guise, Steven van Hulle has long been considered a producer with immense potential. Now, he’s finally delivered on that promise with Opel Mantra, his stunning debut album.

To be released across three 12” singles between now and March (with all of the tracks to be collected together on CD at a later date), Opel Mantra twists house music into intoxicating new shapes, fusing a myriad of global influences into one thrilling, surprising whole. This is clandestine, atmospheric deep house as you’ve never heard it before. And boy, does it sound good.

Anyone with a keen interest in the Amsterdam electronic music scene will be familiar with van Hulle’s work. He’s already released a number of acclaimed solo singles on Rush Hour (his loose-limbed, decidedly cosmic debut, For Five, appeared in 2010), alongside highly regarded collaborations with fellow Dutch producers Tom Trago (under the Alfabet alias), Young Marco and San Proper. To date, though, his output has been limited to a handful of inspired productions.

Having had a glimpse of his talents, Opel Mantra proves his credentials once and for all. This first 12” in the series offers more than enough proof. Bristling with humid atmospheres, voodoo rhythms and tropical grooves, it fuses heavy African and South American influences with contemporary deep house sounds and grooves.

This is Cliff Music: A Berlin based label supporting and spreading the many facets of house music. 
The mission is to give talented producers and friends a stage to share their vibes with the world.
Cliff Music kicks off with a four-tracker featuring the Aussie Slamb, French boys Vitess & Mangabey, and last but not least Leipzig’s finest, Luvless. 

The A side starts with a melodic summer anthem ‘Minor Secret’ by Mangabey, followed by Slamb’s house-driven disco edit ‘Why Stop Now’. 
On the flip side, Luvless provides wobbly synthesizers over crunchy drums and grooves on 'Discord Manufactory'. Vitess closes the EP with a 90’s and 2Step reminiscing dancefloor hit 'Jumpin'.

quintessentials 66: felipe gordon - sick ass chords ep
12"/digital out late june/early july

Señor Gordon is back on Quintessentials! Colombia’s number 1 when it comes to freaky house music delivers the goods again. Felipe Gordon has this incredible talent to mix so many different sounds and samples to create his unique style. Funky pianos (or should we say sick ass chords!), wobbling basslines, jazzy samples, disco and funk influences all combined together to make the “Felipe Gordon house sound”. Sometimes more punchy like “Sick ass chords” and “The quint garage”, sometimes more relaxed like “Girl, u don’t know…” and “For those who…”, but you just hear it’s FG from B in C!

Habibi Grooves returns to Feedasoul Records with 'Jazzville', a stellar two-track EP. As the name suggests, the title track is a jazz-oriented masterpiece. With vocal shops, soul-stirring piano chords and saxophone samples layered over a 4/4 rhythm, the end result is a beautiful jazz-inspired deep house track. On the flip side, Lebanese groove-setter Nader Yunes, aka Audioblend and Feedasoul's head honcho Papa Soul provide a sterling rework of Jazzville. The combination of rolling basslines, emotional piano chords and a percussion section give the track that extra groove as well as a glimpse into the mindset of two of Lebanon's finest.
