For many this is the ultimate Disco Illusion; a record that should have been epoch making in its day, something that would have been a staple for David Mancuso, Larry Levan & Ron Hardy had it ever gotten distribution when it was originally released 34 years ago. Somehow time passed it by and it was only re-discovered in a warehouse in Trinidad last year. Since then it has been gaining momentum fast, with DJ support from Moodymann, MCDE, Floating Points & Kon, as well as original copies selling for four-digit sums. Part of the illusion is in the structure of the record. The A-side begins with a beautiful hazy disco song, but suddenly an Egyptian sounding bridge turns things inside out and the song opens up into stripped back proto-house jam complete with bubbling Sun Ra synths and Black Ark tape delay action. Then there’s the b-side, which sounds like Bob James after he had a taste of callaloo, with deep electronics and a mind-melting steel pan solo.

Stay (Scheme Remix)

Feeling Blue present their debut release from long time collaborators and label bosses, Azure and Scheme, with a feature from Jess Aspinwall.

The 4 track E.P showcases a fusion of both the producer’s personal sounds and influences, whilst setting the tone of what to expect from the label sonically. Melancholic tones and deep breaks create a pallet dedicated to the late night raver, and for moments after the lights have come on.

Let Yourself Go (2XM Remix)

@feeling-blue-studios present their sophomore release from label head Azure and long-time musical partner Ben Murray as 2XM, with a complementary remix from enigmatic Ōtautahi producer, Caramel Smooth Heaven (@csh_beats).

The 3-track E.P. delivers signature @2xmurrays sounds; floating melodics and vocal lines over intricate percussive programming, that continues to extend and cement the label’s sonic direction. “Close To Me” speaks to an internal monologue that could be found in the dawn of a late club night amongst strangers, or intimately at home with the one you love. Smooths remix rounds out the E.P, providing further introspection from a more drawn back tempo.

PREMIERE : Chicagodeep - Metaphoric Interlude

Mr. G returns to his own Phoenix G label next week (Tuesday 8th November) with 10-track album ‘A Good Place…?’. We’ve got the exclusive premiere of ‘One For The Headz’ from it above.

With a career spanning over 25 years, Mr. G – real name Colin McBean – has steadily established himself at the top table of electronic music, seeing a renaissance through a string of full-length albums and his effervescent live show in recent years.

He’s had a prolific year of production in 2016 too, with releases on Defected, Midnight Shift and Bass Culture, amongst others, the latter with his emotive cut, ‘Transient’.

‘A Good Place…?’ is made up of robust and moody music built from depth-charged basslines, rattling hi-hats and funk-fueled samples, resulting in 10-tracks of his trademark muscular hypnosis.

Our premiere ‘One For The Headz’ has been one of the biggest tracks on the DJ Mag office stereo this year, thanks to its rhythmic and percussive intricacy — it's a superb broken beat weapon primed for the dancefloor.

Speaking about the album, McBean said, “This was a real surprise as I thought I was done doing another one for a good while, but I’m not complaining. Funnily enough, I started writing this after some horrid treatment at a gig, but after the things I’ve been through over the last few years just being alive is a great place for me – each day and a God blessed bonus.”

Listen to the exclusive premiere of Mr. G’s ‘One For The Headz’ above.

Our Manc friends Dansu Discs return to business with a four track EP from the ever illusive and shady talent that is X-Coast. On remix duty and stamping his print on A1 is Big Mix; another name that seems to be re-appearing in all the right places. 

A combination of unpredictable turns, aggressive acid stabs, and obscure synths, it's fair to say that the scotsman's remix of the New Yorker's 'Bailando' is a heater.

PREMIERE: X-Coast - Bailando (Big Miz Remix)[Dansu Discs]

Big Miz, the buzzing talent out of Glasgow makes his first appearance on Shall Not Fade with the club-driven 'Short Stories' EP, which includes the booming and acidic house anthem 'Dance MF'.

His latest on Shall Not Fade is the complete package, showcasing his knack for delivering earth shattering bass lines, piercing acid stabs and jacking rhythms. This is big rave energy that's impossible to ignore. 

The 'Short Stories' EP is set for release October 11.

Label: Distant Horizons
Artist: Tom Jarmey
Format: Vinyl
Cat. Number: DISTANT001
EP Title: Amber Glass LP
Release Date: September 11th, 2020
Support it: https://lobstertheremin.com/album/amber-glass-lp

Tom Jarmey releases his debut album for Lobster Theremin sub-label Distant Horizons (formally known as Distant Hawaii) with the beautifully serene ‘Amber Glass’ LP.

On Amber Glass, Jarmey draws on influences from ambient, house, breakbeat and techno, combining dusty drum sequences on top of cosmic synth patterns and classic, warm, tape-driven production. It’s a rare treat in the post-rave, home-listening dance spectrum and showcases a knack for brooding, laid-back grooves as well as a killer melody and rhythm. Chock full of breaks, bubbling electronica, deep diving tones and emotional textures, the album is a glimpse into the work of a rising producer, but one who nonetheless sounds comfortably in their prime.

Jarmey seamlessly blends breathtaking soundscapes, luscious vocals and soaring synth hooks on this debut long play following releases for 13th Hour, Shadow City and R.A.N.D. The LP sets the tone for future excursions on Lobster from the versatile Manchester-based producer.

Long-time musical collaborator and saxophonist, Ed Hodge, joins Jarmey for a clutch of tracks on this project, with Hodge performing sax on both ‘Bees In Meadow’ and ‘Deeper Pacific’. Amber Glass features the stunning artwork of London based designer CMDP.

GLBDOM's next release showcases the talented New Zealand duo 2XM of Benjamin and Liam a collaborative effort with Scheme. The emotional four track EP "Fading" including remix from Jesper Tjarnfors proves once again that these guys really developed their own signature and unique sound. This EP has a rare sensitivity, elegance and slightly wistful with melancholic notes, so it's good to meet autumn with it!

The roundabout has corners. The speed increases. Bossman Axefield doing an old switch up before the lights blink into one big twisting remix. The harness of the dwelling mind is best served raw. This is a feast - this is a bibble. A halfpace is a staircase where the stair turns back in exactly the reverse direction of the lower flight of steps. This reminds me of a memory back in the '90s. Recognize those sounds? Can you fathom? I want this taxi ride to last forever.
