DJ Minx - Do It All Night EP ft. Honey Dijon Remix
Planet E Communications, January 28th 2022
https://planete.lnk.to/DoItAllNight

First-Lady of Detroit and longtime member of the Planet E Communications family DJ Minx (@djminx) continues the label’s thirty year anniversary celebration with her ‘Do It All Night’ EP, out on 12” and digital platforms January 28. The EP features a peak time remix from the stratospheric talent Honey Dijon (@honeydijon) alongside a C2 edit from Carl Craig himself, a powerful package from some of global clubland’s most revered names.

‘Do It All Night’ puts forth a sunk back slice of Detroit house built to move and jack with abandon. It's the type of simplistic 303 drum programming and energy building synth work we’ve come to expect from Minx, a veteran of the less-is-more philosophy of all-night dancefloor mastery. Honey stacks on the intensity with her remix while restructuring the tune for harder dance floor moments, while Carl’s edit leans on subtle arrangement changes to breathe his own signature sound into the original.

DJ Minx is a central figure in Detroit's dance music history, learning to DJ in the late 80s, then holding a vital residency at Motor Club, hosting long-running radio shows in the city for WGPR and CJAM. She’s been a fixture at Detroit’s Movement Festival since 2000, and will curate a stage for the festival in 2022. Her Women on Wax collective and label have sought to champion Black female artists since its inception in 1996. DJ Minx is a recipient of the Spirit of Detroit award for her contributions to the city's cultural landscape, and was named as one of the 20 Women who Shaped Dance Music by The Black Madonna and Mixmag. Minx has been prolific in 2021, delivering high profile mixes for Resident Advisor and Groove, and covering the December issue of DJMag, dropping the politically charged single Blind Amerikkka, an EP for He.She.They and coming out publicly during Pride.

After the extensive “Uncanny Valley 20” compilation we go back to our classic 4- track-format for “Uncanny Valley 025”. Taking the chance to introduce 3 new artists to our roster, we warmly welcome Lake People, Philipp Triebel and RJ (who is also one half of Dürerstuben) to add their distinctive flavour to this record.

Lake People doesn’t need an introduction anymore as his smart and emotional productions are making rounds from Ibiza to your basement club around the corner. His “Unexpected End Of Archive” is another example for his knack to produce tracks that evokes an emotional maelstrom on the dance floor. Beautiful synth melodies are meandering throughout the tune while the slick drum arrangement provides just enough tension to keep your feet on the floor.

Philipp Triebel caught our ear with his live set when we played together at a party in his hometown Giessen. After handing in demos for some time he now contributes “Unity” to this compilation. Clocking in at just 4 and a half minutes it gets us moving with tight chords, tricky drums and a short but prominent synth melody that will be heavy on the dance floor.

The B-side features two tracks by RJ, a member of the 2014 edition of RBMA in Tokyo. “Leo” is an excellent piece of slowly rising House music that pushes the right buttons at just the right time. With melancholic robots on vocals duties and dreamy synth pads this track literally tells a story. Closing the record is “Nie” which rises the pace and takes a similar path like its predecessor with moony synths and a very catchy melody.

Gio is a DJ/Producer from NJ, USA. His journey as a DJ began at the age of 13, as he played small events for friends and family. Since then, the hobby has grown into a passion that has allowed him to play for people from all walks of life. DJing events ranging from Weddings to Clubs to Festivals with thousands in attendance, Gio has rocked every crowd. At the age of 17, after growing more and more curious about the process that went into the music he’d been playing, he began to produce music himself. Making remixes of popular songs to incorporate in his sets was just the start - and after having found his sound, Gio is currently working towards his first original release as an artist — which will be available very soon on all major streaming platforms.
