Year Of The Dragon http://musicnoow.com/v/rqQBXL-7bBo/year-of-the-dragon-michael-sweeney

In the year of the Dragon, the Birth of the Storm, something else is Born.

Following on from 'Empty Flat in Berlin' & 'Go', which received club support from the likes of Terr, Jimi Jules & Chloé Caillet, 'Can't Help U' is the debut EP of Sam Girling's newly formed record label, 'Attacca'. Sam sees the creation of 'Attacca' as taking back control of his vision and music; his own paradisiacal world for him to nurture and grow.

With the first single, 'Can't Help U', already picking up support from various tastemakers, such as Jack Saunders & Sarah Story, the rest of the 5-track EP bodes well on covering Sam's eclectic influences. 'Can't Help U' is formed around a mixture of broken vocals, eerie bass tones and a need to feel something. The first half of the single builds on a melancholic note with the subtly growing percussive layers and fragmented vocal chops of 'Can't Help U'. The mood switches halfway as the body of the track is sucked out, leaving just the resonant bass, clap and vocal hanging in suspension before smashing back into the thick of it as a dance floor anthem.

'Osmo' plays it's role as the 'club weapon' with a sizzling electro lead and leftfield French love poem. 'Sunday Conscience' comes in as a 909 driven, synth-laden pumper that flutters nostalgia evoking vocal cries throughout. The suitably titled, 'Con On The Train Back From a Festival', runs uninterrupted with an iPhone audio recording of Sam & his mate, Connor, on their way home from a festival - a laid-back, 6am house groover. Finally, 'All I See Is Done' rounds off the debut EP on a deep house tip, with the classic M1 organ amongst an array of weaving synth lines.

Whose Gonna Be 2

Slice & Soda is San Serac and Para One.

French producer Para One can't seem to stay still. He invented a whole new kind of rap with French hip hop phenomenon TTC, then dreamed up Epiphanie, an insanely complex solo effort which originated the French sound that stormed the world in the last couple of years. Next came the quietly beautiful surprise of Naissance Des Pieuvres, soundtrack to the acclaimed movie Water Lilies.

So it came to pass that, while on a U.S. tour with top allies Surkin, Orgasmic and Curses!, Para One couldn't stop thinking about the classic house, freestyle and electrofunk he heard on the radio--and, crucially, their direct connection to the post-punk pop his older sisters loved when he was a kid. Back in Paris and deeply inspired, he worked fast and furiously, roughing out tracks with synthesizers, drum machines and an army of percussion. As the ideas took shape, he sensed one day they'd be pop songs.

Around this time, a close friend turned Para One on to East Coast house singer San Serac, who made underground waves with his album Professional and his band Stereo Image. He asked Serac to write lyrics for one song, what the fuck right? Well. Two years, seven flights and countless espressos later, the pair had an album. They set a charter of leftfield pop you can dance to and wound up finding unexpected common loves along the way: early Ice Cube, late Japan, Chas Jankel, Drexciya, 52nd Street. Throw it in there was the rule of thumb.

The name "Slice & Soda"--a pizza-related code for the project whose significance only the duo truly understands--stuck. And when the last Prophet V note is played, what we have is a record of many styles tied together by San Serac's voice, oscillating between Byrne and Bowie, more nimble than ever in its shouty falsetto, funk cadences, cryptic poetry and impassionned slogans.

Gasoline Fire's manic disco funk and Year of the Dragon's nimble, addictive bassline are the first sounds to filter out the S&S compound and it's enough to make you feel young again.
