Jimi Tenor & Freestyle Man - Sleepover (Studio Barnhus)

Finnish legends and everything-but-grey eminences of electronic music, Jimi Tenor and Freestyle Man revive their dormant partnership on this four track EP for Studio Barnhus, jam-packed with classic drum machine funk, congenial synth lines and Jimi's unmistakable lead vocals and flute-playing. The Sleepover EP is fuelled by the two maestros' mutual love for New Jersey house music and pyjama parties, as well as musical wisdom gained from numerous collaborations in the past, ranging back to some fabled mid-90s Sähkö releases. Live show booking now! Artwork by Robin Ekemark.

The Idjut Boys and Laj (one of Ray Mang man Raj Gupta’s lesser-known aliases) were once regular studio partners, laying down a series of now legendary dubbed-out disco and deep house releases on the former’s U-Star label during the mid-to-late-90s. Now one of the trio’s lesser-known gems is returning to record stores for the first time since 2002, courtesy of Claremont 56.

“Slateo” first appeared on the 2002 Session Recordings label compilation Solidsession Vol. 2, the CD version of which was mixed by the Idjuts and also contained a fine cut from Akwaaba, a band whose members included future Claremont 56 founder Paul “Mudd” Murphy.

Built around undulating bongo beats, fireside-warm dub bass, outer-space chords, delay-laden guitar flourishes and spacey jazz-funk synth solos by regular collaborator Pete Z, “Slateo” sits somewhere between warm-up gold, late night bliss and early morning release. In true Idjuts and Laj fashion, it boasts epic amounts of reverb and dub delay, as well as the kind of enveloping production that’s always been a hallmark of their collaborative work.

16 years after the track first slipped out, it’s appearing on a single-sided 12” single, pressed to gorgeous green and white vinyl. With only 350 copies available worldwide, pre-orders are recommended.

PREMIERE: Hanzo & Yaman - The Path [Playground Records]

Artist: @Kayroyyy feat. Miela
Title: Identification Unknown
Release Date: July 3rd, 2020
Label: Frank Music
Cat-No: FM12031

ID anyone?! Please welcome Kayroy everybody. He is hailing from Melbourne, Australia. Riding the retro-futuristic-synth-disco wave as he puts it himself we give you „Identification Unknown“. A sweet song created with the help of Miela’s voice. Made for the beach and the club (or should I say stream?) at the same time. You may call it Pop Muzik. Additional remixes & edits by Donald Dust from the UK, Longhair & Johannes Albert from Berlin. Donald Dust is serving it icecold, dropping a fine bit of dark euphoria to brighten up your day. Longhair are taking it easy with a dubby early 90s approach, very bass-heavy. Finally Johannes is taking it to the club again with his sharp DJ edit.

Kayroy "Identification Unknown" (Johannes Albert DJ Edit)

Queer Base is an organisation in Vienna that offers social and legal counseling to LGBTQI+ refugees who arrive in Austria, including providing help with court cases, finding housing, community events, organising German lessons, HIV/STI testing, and more. Further details can be found at ​https://queerbase.at/​. Label regular 'Sun Shy Boy' kicks things off with 'Don't Catch Me Running', a rueful and catchy downbeat pop song with longing chords. After the ambient turned beatdown track 'Horizon' from Delicate Features, Jorkes sink us into a lush deep house groove and O.S.T. paints musical pictures of lazy hot days in the park with the pastoral beauty of 'U and I (Are Living)', and 'Be Like That' from Raphael Schön switches up the mood with a more kinetic electronic track that brims with futurism. Timeless deep house vibes abound on Benjamin Fröhlich's excellent 'Birdhouse', then venerated mainstay Massimiliano Pagliara slows things down with the majestic synth arpeggios and far-sighted cosmic sounds of 'Without You', before Milan’s Modular Project drop some 80’s influenced psychedelic house. The mid-section of this broad and brilliant collection takes in soft rock tinged Balearic disco, bubbling house and then stripped back and perfectly atmospheric disco-tech from Zombies in Miami & Joseeph with 'Walking Home.' The most direct grooves come from the dark, techno leaning 'That Escape' by Sedef Adasi, resident of the BLITZ Club in Munich, the twisted synth workout that is Super Drama's 'Friction' and the late-night drones of the meditative 'Cinderella' by Cantor. Zamal and Younger Than Me then explore deep acid techno territory on their fine contributions and Hard Ton, the irrepressible Italian from labels like Toy Tonics, then serves up stomping synth and vocal disco gold before much-loved house innovator Soulphiction closes out in fine style with the steamy and atmospheric, rough-edged house of 'Tedium.' This compilation excels on a musical front but also by highlighting and supporting the vital work undertaken by Queer Base. The album comes with beautiful and bespoke artwork by Daniel Rajcsanyi and all mastering was carried out by Klas-Henrik Lindblad at Blackheadstudios.

PREMIERE : Benjamin Frohlich - Birdhouse

“This unbroken love, managed to survive, even when all hope seemed gone, somehow it stayed alive.”

Leo Mas and Sally Rodgers are as relevant today as they were at the beginning of the house music revolution. The former continues a legacy that began in Ibiza, where he DJ’d the most fabled nights at Amnesia and pioneered the Balearic sound, and today produces wonderful grooves together with another great Italian DJ, his longtime partner, Fabrice. The latter has cruised the fertile fields of electronic music since the late eighties, at the forefront of idiosyncratic genre offshoots like acid jazz and cosmic Balearic as a producer, DJ and singer, along with musical partner Steve, as the U.K. duo A Man Called Adam.

‘This Unspoken Love’ offers a mellow euphoria, skywards pads and pulsating bass that coaxes a sense of something eternal. Rodgers sings of unspoken love surviving and recalls that faded dream of utopia, imagined on analog synthesizers and broadcasted to pulsating crowds, all plugged into the same feeling of immortal bliss.

“The north star still shines, the dream lives on. Sometimes you just have to close your eyes to sense it.”

This release features the vocal radio edit of the track. An extended and dub version will be released in August.

Originally released in 2013, ‘Virtual Lover’ was the debut single from Nadia Ksaiba, the East London DJ icon best known for her joyous sets at beloved queer space Dalston Superstore.

Fast-forward to 2020, and Ksaiba’s ‘Rhythm Connection’ with Dan Beaumont, is one of NTS Radio’s longest running shows. Meanwhile, as Phantasy approaches a landmark 100 singles, ‘Virtual Lover’ still sounds timeless, masterfully channeling boogie, Italo and disco reminiscent of early Madonna to classic Midnight Star. With this in mind, Phantasy are delighted to offer a new perspective on Ksaiba’s club hit with two spellbinding edits from Belfast born and based DJ/producer, Jordan. Out now on limited edition 12" vinyl and digital formats.

Virtual Lover (Jordan's Nocturne Edit)

Das Komplex, the uncrowned king of Polish nu disco, can be considered as one of the world ambassadors of the ever growing Polish electronic scene. Among his fans are such characters as DJ Harvey, who placed one of his tracks on the second "Mercury Rising". 
His latest release on Polena Records "Weź Mnie Ze Sobą EP" ("Take Me With You") consists four dancefloor-oriented tracks, that are full of style and class.

In true Gouranga fashion, we decided to feature the unique "Zbliża Się Zima": a 12-minute psychedelic journey through the seaside forests in autumn. Winter may be coming, but the Balearic vibes of Das Komplex will keep us warm for many, many months!

Paul & Shark of P&S Free Time Discs channel their fondness of Eurohouse and UK dance culture with their 3rd vinyl release.’ 'Hyperparadiso' glides in lush soundscapes and bird calls, with punchy drums and a driving bass for contrast. Music from a time when house music was a way of life and not a business model. 'Selectavision' keeps the rave it in check with a dubby bass sound and a simple house piano. 'Yes 2 Bucket Hats' pays homage to partying in a hazy atmosphere somewhere out in the fields with your best mates, bottle in hand when the sun has just gone down and you have no idea where you parked your tent. Heavy drums, brazen big synths and 90’s hip-house style vocal cuts. Chicago’s own house & old school rave authority Chrissy comes through with a remix that follows his signature sounds of love, positivity, acceptance, and the fight against cynicism. Chrissy has been on very much on point with his releases for 17 Steps, Super Rhythm Trax and his 2019 seminal album ‘Resilience’ for Chiwax, so it’s fitting to have him deliver a very encouraging (and a cheeky) remix for this release.

PRE-ORDER: https://lobsterrecords.co.uk/products/zuntyh-space-707
label : Yung Dumb Records (https://soundcloud.com/yungdumb)

Zuntyh delivers 'Space 707' to the YUNG DUMB Records catalog to cap off summer 2020.  The France-native offers up four classically-influenced and floor-effective house numbers, varying in energy and mood, but never straying from a heavy focus on the rhythms and emotive grooves.  Jim Casanova's cameo appearance on the b-side comes with a left field club hybrid of the EP's most driven track, 'Work It', to close out the EP. Zuntyh's 'Space 707' EP is a timely mix of reflection and futurism, not to mention pure house music.

PREMIERE : Zuntyh - Momento Allegro

The evening was young but they all knew where it was headed. To infinity and beyond as they said, holding hands they walked between shadowy alleyways and amidst back streets in the company of friends. The dancefloor loomed, an endless escape from the trouble and strife of the daily cycle of repetition and denial. The same routine was fierce. Not before long they would find themselves sprawled out upon the floor, the afters at Gav's gaff was the blissful solution to an otherwise hectic situation. It was everything. 

SDS MAX readies a new EP for Erbium Records, a deep moving break focussed trancey affair designed to delight and destroy dancefloors. This one comes equipped with a poignant track title, I feel like we all know our own Gav...

PREMIERE: SDS MAX - Afters At Gav's Gaff [Erbium Records]

2020 will be a year that we will hardly forget. A year of reflection, introspection and sudden changes, many of them forced. How will we remember it after some time? We don't know yet, but the testimony for that future is being shaped today, as always, through artistic creation. This is the case of Fernanda Arrau, founder of the record label, United Colors of Rhythm. She has decided to baptize the fifth EP of her career and her label’s second release, as ‘Quiebre’ (breakdown in English). The EP was created a couple of years ago, almost entirely in the confinement of Madrid (one of the epicenters of the first European wave of Coronavirus) at the DJ and Chilean producer’s home.

PREMIERE #1245 | Richard Sen - Varanasi Sunrise [Viscera] 2020

Earthly Measures return with the second installment of their Earthly Tapes compilation series. They continue to draw inspiration from the wider world and bring to you the sounds of artists originating from Argentina, Japan, Netherlands, Portugal, Brazil and the UK. Beyond the restrictions of this physical realm, let your ears nourish the mind and soul as they traverse the world for you… 

Dutch party-starter Mytron’s contribution ’Oil’ provides the fuel for the party as he turns to fast-paced conga rhythms, cowbells and elephant trumpets. These exotic sounds bounce along with ever-persistent energy to create the soundtrack to a hedonistic carnivalesque celebration of all things wild.

Nadia Khan returns on Scissor and Thread for another sublime mini LP, Port Ana. Based in North Carolina, Khan first drew a lot of attention via a cassette release on Where To Now? Records in 2015. 
Her sophomore statement was the beautiful In Gleam released in 2018 on Francis Harris’ Brooklyn-based label, which set the tone for these five tracks of meditative music. 
The title track Port Ana opens the journey - a gentle, droning soundscape with effortlessly bewitching glints of melody. 
Conversation follows on, drawing on loops and textures to create the background for a deep, pulsing kick drum. The sounds shift and evolve, leaving a hazy sense of movement to drift away to. 
Next up is Objects In Form which presents a fragile chord progression that barely holds itself together, surrounded by shifting pads and swathes of reverb. 
Rain Again is presented here in two versions. The original combines ethereal sounds, weightless and adrift, while the Lawrence remix firmly grounds the track with a hypnotic, deep groove. The Dial boss provides another remix for the digital release that further plays with the textures of the original to create something that works both for an open minded dancefloor and as a home listening experience.

Nadia Khan - Rain Again (Lawrence Remix 1)

Artist: Massive Density Human
Track: Memories Of A Time (Vague Recollection)
Format: Digital
Label: Night Noise
Release date: 09/11/20
Purchase: https://www.junodownload.com/products/mass-density-human-out-back/4779448-02/

The ocean of time always brings us back the memories that we wanted to be drowned in it.
Night Noise is back with a new release from the ever so mysterious 'Mass Density Human'. This is the follow up to his recent debut release 'Dancing In Space'. Much loved by many "Dancing In Space' was a great intro into the creative workings of the artist. 
This form follows into the next release 'Out & Back'.
'Out & Back' is an EP that bounces across genres but with a definite nod to the 90's. Three original tracks that each have a much lower key, dare we say ambient selection of alternate mixes from the artist. Hence the 'Out & Back' title 3 tracks for the going out phase and 3 tracks for the getting back stage. This is a cracking experimental EP that deserves plenty of repeat plays to appreciate the full majesty of the music.
