At long last we're delighted to release some nuggets we've been sitting on by our Lithuanian friend for some time now. 'Kalista' first appeared on our Dekmantel podcast and has been prompting enquiries about it ever since. The others were pretty much good to go, but something felt missing.. One day we received 'My Personal' out of the blue and now we're off to the races! Very happy to share these with the wider world.

AA2 Esa Adaptation

 "In 2015 Superpitcher was invited to go on a safari in South Africa.  He stayed at the breathtaking Tanda Tula camp in Timbavati adjacent to the Kruger National Park.

Apart from being stunned by the untouched nature of the area, he was also blown away one evening by a performance of the Tanda Tula staff choir. He was so touched by their folk songs and beautiful Shangaan language that he decided to record and produce a CD for them to sell in the camp's shop, free of charge with all proceeds going to the choir members.  This recording has since enabled guests from around the world to take the captivating voices of the Tanda Tula Choir home with them.

Not much later, Superpitcher approached Autonomous Africa with the idea of us putting out a remix EP.  It contains four very different but somehow complementary remixes from Superpitcher, LAPS, Red Axes and Esa.

All profits from this release will be split between Tanda Tula Choir and the International Library of African Music. Founded by ethnomusicologist Hugh Tracey in 1954, ILAM is an an organisation dedicated to the preservation and study of African music.”

PREMIERE: Zoé Zoe - Kalista [Belters]

Exclusive Zoé Zoe 'My Personal (Dulcinea Del Topos)'

After Dominik Marz's & David Koch's four tracker on Huntleys + Palmers' sub-label Belters it's about time to release another belly dance belter, which steps out of the 'Ghost Trance's shadow. Zoé Zoe's new EP, Belters022, does just that and contains four exquisite takes the (dance) floors and DJs have been eager to play/ hear for a moment. Since 'Kalista' has been featured on the label's Dekmantel podcasts a while back and already caused some stir amongst the scene, the EP did not seem to be ready for its immediate release until 'My Personal (Dulcinea Del Topos)' arrived. The disco-ish cut is the kind of track that spreads those ' instant moments of love' on the floor, the good vibes everyone's ready to hear after having rocked off the your dancing shoes' sole. 'My Personal (Dulcinea Del Topos)' basically unites all the ingredients that are needed to move your waistline once more to the bass line; a basic loop with few pads make up the track's backbone and is enriched with several further synths and vocals as wells as short 'filter'-rides that turn the track from the Lithuanian producer to a continuous blissful ride into the (end of the) night. 

Zoé Zoe's EP 'Zoé Zoe' will be released on Belters on November 29th, 2019.

EXCLUSIVE: Zoé Zoe - My Personal (Dulcinea Del Toboso) [Belters]

Long-time friend and resident Arthur Johnson is finally back on La dame Noir with a brilliant four tracker that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of this label’s club nights in Marseille and includes a superb remix by Colossio & Mufti.
This new music reveals once again how good Belgian born Jonhson is at crafting adventurous club music. He’s proven himself before on Les Disques De la Mort as well as La Dame Noir and counts Tiga, Chloe and Ivan Smagghe as fans, which shows you how real and rugged his sounds are.
‘Rrheatr’ is a brilliantly shadowy groove with filtered vocals swirling about above an edgy groove.

Quark

Liudas Lazauskas (aka Roe Deers) and Titas Motuzas are two friends and musicians from Vilnius, Lithuania. After releasing a cover at
Mange Moi, and also introducing their first original release Losses (which also came in music video form), these guys are finally doing
what was their initial plan - launching their own independent, Vilnius based label called “Good Skills”. For the first release, Good Skills is
presenting two different originals from BDHBTS and eight great remixes created by dear friends from all over the world - two American Berliners, two Belgian acts, a band from Russia, and brothers from Cologne, Tauragė and Tel Aviv.
First track of the EP - “Bad Habits” - has this story around itself, you’ve probably already heard before. It all started as a little jam in the studio, ended up being philosophy, the name and an interest a of newly formed band. Here you can hear the typical recipe of BDHBTS
music - little line of acid, pretty weird sounding vocals and solid, very solid bass line. Not a banger of a track, but it definitely wasn’t the
initial mission. Let me introduce you to my bad habits :)
Second original - “Uždaras vakaras" - shows the way BDHBTS likes to dance. Meeting under influence in the studio turned out to be a
night, when the anthem for Vilnius bouncers was born. Literal meaning of “Uždaras vakaras” is “Private evening”, which is a phrase very often used by local bouncers when not allowing somebody to enter the club. Little meaning lyrically, simple melodies, lots of drama and some electronic accordion - this track is just like your night out.
Remix for track “Bad Habits” made by Curses explains why Luca is known as a true master of disco darkness. American raised, Berlin
based and Lithuanian hearted Curses once again delivers a great selection of spooky sounds and incredible bass guitar cuts. Just the
right amount of dirty.
Moderna’s techno version of “Uždaras vakaras” wins the heaviest track of the release title. Darker than night, more mysterious than
Voldemort, hotter than your lover. This one goes straight to your peak time folder.
Good Skills is honoured to have DEEWEE’s finest - Asa Moto - on board for this all star game of a release. Boys from Gent shows the
prettier side of “Bad habits” - great remix for warm up set, sunset chill or autobahn ride.
Strapontin swings hard with his execution of “Uždaras vakaras”. Hypnotic piece for hard working dance floor community - never ending build up madness from Brussels. It’s like eating a waffle with very dark chocolate.
German poet Bryan Kessler is not only a true friend, but also a very creative one. He could not say no when BDHBTS asked to remix a
track, which he probably didn’t like, so instead he made them a cover. Sticky, a bit 80s sounding version of “Bad habits” with a lot to
offer.
Let’s talk weed. Alek Lee brings you a trippy percussion mix of “Uždaras vakaras” on a magic carpet straight from the deserts around Tel Aviv. If you haven’t him on stage live with bongos and/or tambourines - you should definitely do it.
Rising Lithuanian fellow Zakmina’s remix for “Uždaras vakaras” is already a hit on local dancefloors. Heavy bass riff and straightforward
groove is always a good idea.
Vodka version aka remix for “Bad Habits” from Russian fellas Wolfstream has already been played in their live sets. We saw it, we loved it and we are sure it works. Pure rock’n’roll vibes.

PREMIERE : BDHBTS - Bad Habits (Wolfstream Remix)

Eclectic Mexican Calypso Records keep up their impressive early momentum with another vital EP from Kolago Kult that comes with TYU and Colossio remixes. Kolago Kult is an irregular party and DJ/VJ/production collective based in London. Formerly known as Tales of Voodoo, they transcend musical genres and serve up anything from disco to afrobeat to psyched-out weirdness. 
Our pick up from EP is the freaky ‘Sangoma’ which may be dedicated to a one very famous telephone company, or maybe dedicated to some very unknown black magic ritual, but sets the mood for the ceremony with tribal drums and ancient chants. It’s a wobbly dub cut that is expertly loose and limb-jangling. 4 tracks digital record out Decmeber 9th , you can buy here: https://calypsorecordsmx.bandcamp.com/album/sangoma
