JAL 174
Release Date 14th April


Newcastle’s finest Smoove & Turrell are back with their third studio album Broken Toys. Their rise through the ranks of British soul has been unstoppable and this debut release from the album sends the signal that they fully intend for 2014 to be the year they take their unique brand of northern soul worldwide on a major scale. 

Having broken through onto the Radio 2 playlist in the UK with their last album Eccentric Audio the boys then went on to repeat the trick gaining national playlists in Holland, France and Germany and gaining the support of influential tastemaker stations like KCRW in LA who made the single Hard Work “Todays Top Tune”.

As most KCRW DJ’s are also Hollywood Music Supervisors this then led to Moby like levels of sync activity for the band with S&T’s Music being used on 2 US TV shows / a US feature Film / a video game / a US TV ad / a UK TV ad / a French TV synch and a whole host of UK TV syncs including Strictly, Corrie and Match of The Day.

A year of writing and recording fast forwards us to right now with the band gearing up for a month of UK touring in June and a summer of festival appearances to promote their new album. 

Scheduled for release in May, Broken Toys is another jump forward both in terms of production and appeal. Sparkling pop songs flirt with disco influenced floor fillers in between the blues, jazz, funk & soul the boys are so well known for. 

Lay It On Me is a fast paced soul stomper which has been a mainstay of the bands energetic live show for the last few months while I Just Want More showcases the incredible songwriting and melodic appeal of this band.

This is my little idea of the remix of "Loving Me Wrong" (Stanton Warriors)!

Good listening!

My remix for DJ Chamber's Flip Like a Renegade. Out NOW!

Chamber - Flip Like A Renegade (El Bomba Remix)

E - Z Rollers - Retro (Philip George Remix)

"Voicemail Full" is a raw, unfiltered confession — part spoken-word, part street psalm — delivered over a looping, mournful piano line. It’s the story of a man circling rock bottom in his car, parked under the neon glow of a liquor store called Holy Ghost, staring at his own reflection and trying to remember the promises he made.

PRESS RELEASE -- FOR IMMEDIATE PUBLICATION

Various Artists -- Crossfire EP 2

RELEASE DATE: 14th April 2013

The first salvo of "Crossfire" hit at the beginning of last year. It was an EP that gave warning that Technique Recordings' elite unit of producers were the ones to watch for 2012. And the ubiquity of their tunes all over Radio 1, 1Xtra and Kiss, and in raves worldwide, soon proved that it wasn't a warning to be taken lightly. Now it's time to give 2013 the same treatment.

First up is "Oxygen", from heavyweight outfit 2DB, drawing in the listener with subtle arpeggios and evolving riffs, creating a warm and melodic intro to the "Crossfire" experience.  Then KG and Erb n Dub, in their Hashtag guise, switch things up with a sparser, technoid-paranoia workout in "Don't You Want Me". And proving that you can't pigeon-hole Technique, there's yet another sound on display next with a steel-reinforced VIP mix of L Plus's anthemic "Time Travel" from 2011.

Halfway through the EP, and still the variety keeps coming from the Technique team. MaxNRG drops "Grimey Beats" into the mixture, a half-speed D&B stomper that combines elements of reggae, electro and R&B with devastating consequences. Then L Plus is back for a second contribution with "End of Story", a track which takes his trademark silk-textured synths and street-hardened beats and twists them around subtle musical reference points. Then finally, 2DB come through to wrap up proceedings with "Spud Gun", a tune which rolls in under the radar before jumping out at you with a powerful assault of twenty-first century acid.

If you were anywhere within hearing distance of a bass-conscious DJ in 2012, you'll have heard a Technique Recordings release. But, even if you're late to the party, this second "Crossfire" showcase is here to demonstrate why these flavours should be on everyone's setlist.

Tracklisting: 

1. 2DB -- Oxygen
2. Hashtag -- Don't You Want Me
3. L Plus -- Time Travel VIP
4. MaxNRG -- Grimey Beats
5. L Plus - End of Story
6. 2DB -- Spud Gun
