HMWL Premieres July 2023

This creatively adventurous new release comes hot on the heels of his last, the ‘Body Rush EP’, which was a big hit on national radio. It was made Sarah Story’s Future Dance Track ID and Sam served up a Peak Time Mix for the taste-making host while Pete Tong and Danny Howard also supported it. It's the latest in a long line of success that have come on labels like Four Thirty Two, Mele's Club Bad and Knee Deep In Sound, all of which mix up disco, house and 90s tribal sounds. The steamy opener 'Alchemy' slowly builds the intensity with rising synth leads and percussive grooves that lift you off your feet. Wailing vocals arrive to add to the transcendental feel and a majestic breakdown features lush chord work and spine tinging keys that bring the emotion. The equally impactful 'Andalucia' is another multi-layered track with glistening synths and smart use of vocals to bring bubbling energy to the dance floor. The loopy drums keep you locked as the synths evolve and another dramatic breakdown is lit up by melodies full of meaning and emotional intensity before the groove kicks again. This is a bold and brilliant new EP from the vital Sam Holland.

This Organic house beauty unfolds on A Soul On Board 5th july. We love it.
Ari Fernan is a young talented producer / dj from Buenos Aires , Argentinia.

Luna de Margaritas is a track that represents a special moment for an equally special time. It carries with it the mark of a stage change in Ari's artistic development, as well as in his personal life. The inclusion of Afro-Latin sounds and percussion as an addition to his most devoted beginnings in the Argentine school of progressive house represented a fundamental parameter in his current composition devoted to organic house.

Following the fresh, organic house cut ‘Rollin’’ and right on time for the all the lovers of the low end at clubs and festivals, enigmatic producer outfit ÅNDfØLK (after a Proto-Scandinavian word ‘ånd’ for spirit) featuring Deanna Leigh discover their drug of choice on the new melodic techno slammer ‘My Favourite Kind’, out on Caramel Records 21 July. Electronic duo with close to 100K followers on Spotify, ‘My Favourite Kind’ illustrates ÅNDfØLK’s sixth sense for alternating between tension and release. Weaving Leigh’s surreal vocals into a smooth yet strong texture of abrasive, brassy stabs, and glistening pads, the song keeps building up towards one monsterly aggressive drop.

High Dose, No Sleep: A combination that results in a blissfully spaced-out state of mind when expressed through the groove of Andy’s Echo. The tight synthesiser sounds around which the title track of this EP reverberates have a sharp, metallic vibe to them that is blurred by bubbling waves of Acid. Guts on the other hand is all about the signature singer-songwriter qualities that make Andy’s Echo stand out from the mass of dance music producers.

This track feels as dynamic and rousing as the live concert of a band, while the boost of the electronic elements creates a subtle yet utterly compelling flow of dancefloor energy. And then there’s Face It, a track that opens yet another, completely different perspective of the musical talent of Andy’s Echo. Here it’s all about his voice, the verse and chorus structure creating a pop-infused atmosphere of intense warmth and friendliness.

Presenting their second release of the year, Just Movement opens the summer season by welcoming Zone + to the label for his debut single. Bahrain born Dubai based producer Zone + aka Zeyad Mohsen has been a fixture of the deep house community for the better part of a decade. Having firmly established himself with a resonate worldly sound and releases via All Day I Dream, Akbal Music, Hoomidaas and Sol Selectas; Zone + now sits as one of organic music’s elite talents. Also, a consummate DJ, Zone + has taken his impeccable taste and exquisite programming skills to some of the world’s premiere clubs and festivals, playing alongside Behrouz, Guy Mantzur, Lee Burridge, Rodriguez Jr., YokoO and more. Now, in a year that has seen Zone + feature on Tim Green’s recent Balance compilation, he continues to impress with his Just Movement debut ‘Labyrinth’, alongside a remix from Hermanez.

With a whimsical flair, it is the original mix which leads the release off. Warm, voluptuous basslines lay the foundation for spirited vocal elements and panoramic arps to work their magic. Driving percussive arrangements maintain an energetic cadence, while timely chord changes and placid pads move from esoteric to emotive leading into the break. Masterfully constructed, the interlude delights with its buoyant rhythmic themes, eventually melting down to calming percussive rides, perfectly setting the course for a groovy finale.

The release concludes with Hermanez making his label debut with the lone interpretation of ‘Labyrinth’. Hailing from Belgium, Hermanez brings an inventive approach to his brand of electronic composition. Throughout his varied discography, he touches on disparate themes and sounds, straddling a divide between intergalactic design and organic-inspired beats, resulting in one amorphous sound of his own. Initially known for his timeless, tech-soul productions on Mobilee Records, Noir Music and Suara, the Genk resident has enjoyed a career renaissance across the last half decade, remodelling his sound with deeper, more musical and delightfully organic leanings. It’s a shift that has propelled him into one of the genre’s elite talents, in turn landing him projects via All Day I Dream, Bedrock, Lost & Found, Souksonic and TRYBESof. Now, fresh off an EP for YokoO’s SATYA imprint, Hermanez makes his Just Movement debut with a spiritual take on ‘Labyrinth’. While maintaining the glowing spirit of the original, the Belgian artist crafts a sweeping sonic experience all his own, a transcendent journey into an organic hinterland, where fragmented vocals, warm synth phrasing and charming effects surface from their exotic architecture, onwards to a finale of balmy grooves and haunting overlays.
