Skylab Radio - Into the Blue Ep.5 w/ Hannah D & Hydra Pyxis

Perfect Timing kicks things off in a big way with this amazing piece of art created by John Manhard. Melancholy, sensuality, happiness, and passion among many other feelings are felt throughout this incredible EP. Making cues from jazz, old-school hip-hop, breaks and cosmic funk this dynamic 5-track EP conjures up a nostalgia-fueled compilation of transformative early eclectic influences, raising the bar on production from one single artist across multiple different genres of music.  A1 is the emotional-euphoric party jam with the track being called “My life is a walk in the park”.  The A2 “You can only see me after dark” slams a drum and bass track that takes you to the dance floor in the jungle.  Flip the wax for the prime-time classic soul soothing John jazzy house track B1 “I go there to look at the spruce”. On the B2 you will find a soundscapey ambient electro-jazz top vibe “But my name is not Bruce”.  To impeccably close the release, the well done B3 track “I am the scariest man at the park” sends a wave of mystery, that transcends you to a place with a deep nostalgic feeling.

A truly special one for the real heads. A timeless essential for proper lovers of vinyl and good music.

Nugcast #29 - 151 Soundsystem (Past Tense)

Island Issues is back with a second release to close out its first year, this time in the form of another tastefully deep excursion from Dubbyman with remixes from Less J and Estrato Aurora.

Dubbyman landed on Island Issues precursor Saft back in 2021 after three years away. He is a cultured artist who likes to go deep into the atmospheric end of house and techno on labels like Ferrispark, Soul People Music and Deep Explorer, which he co-founded. He always brings a musical synth style and a hypnotic sense of groove as this latest offering shows once more.

'Obsession' finds him working with Bjak, who came up in Chicago's early 90s scene and has been making waves for three decades since. Together they lay down a deep, body-popping and mid-tempo electro rhythm. It's brought to life with steamy male vocals and boogie-tinged bass with a retro feel and tender piano chords that melt the heart.

The L’ Hospitalet rising star Less J remix flips the track into a smoky basement house cut with candle-lit piano chords. Distant vocals bring the soul while seductive sax lines drift in and out next to the atmospheric sounds of a live jazz club.

Estrato Aurora has been a key part of the Valencia underground for almost 20 years. He has a wide array of hardware and has landed on labels like Appian Sounds, On Boards Music and Bliq. His first vocal remix is blissed out and loose, with heady chords and tumbling percussion sinking you into a reverie. Then comes a breaks remix that is more dynamic and driving, with crisp hits and broken beat drums overlaid with diffuse chords. It's brilliantly intimate yet sure to lock in the dance floor.

Dubbyman's 'Obsession' is another great package from Island Issues that should be under every deep house aficionado’s Christmas Tree.

Juan ha sido un amigo de la casa desde hace mucho tiempo, realizando movimientos en Ecuador con su label y su ciclo de fiestas de Rawbeats, las cuales seguimos con admiración. No hace falta decir que, cuando lo invitamos a hacer un podcast, le dimos carta blanca para que pudiera explayarse a su gusto y no nos defraudó con ningún beat.
