LÉMAN MIX 08 - SAMUELE PAGLIAI

Artist: DaRand Land
Title: The Vermillion Room
Label: pulp
Format : Vinyl 12’’
Release Date: January 26th
Style: Deep House

Cultured deep house label Pulp welcomes back regular artist DaRand Land for another of his atmospheric EPs. The Vermillion Room features four sublime cuts that deal in candle-lit backroom sounds.

Hailing from Buffalo, New York, Land has been a low-key but high-class house innovator ever since the 90s. His smoky and subtle style is all about creating warm grooves detailed with musical synths and delicate percussion that sink you into a meditative state. He has been releasing on this label for a decade as well as the likes of Deep4Life and Urban Imagery and is in fine form again on this latest outing.

'Never Far From Jazz' hints at the producer's influences as he layers up dusty kicks with deft cosmic chords. More wispy leads bring a sense of mystery next to crunchy hi-hats that drive things ever further into the unknown. 'Journey For The Ready' is another brilliantly wide open and cavernous sound with smeared pads and melancholic piano chords hanging in the air, then 'Formative Funk' switches things up. This one has percolating drums and slapping hits that demand you move your body as filtered vocal sounds bring the soul.

'Remember The Violets' closes down with another signature DaRand Land groove - it's stripped back and raw as it rocks back and forth. A moody bassline adds weight while you're encouraged to gaze into the distance at the pixelated chords that bring a bittersweet sense of emotion.

DaRand Land once again taps into meaningful house depths that work on cosy dancefloors but also more intimate listening environments.

"Art and music are the same, they're just different dialects." The Chicago house music legend talks about co-curating the photo exhibit Walk The Night and nightlife's '90s heyday. 

Ron Trent grew up in Chicago, where he dreamed of being a musician from a young age. He would end up becoming one of the architects of the Chicago house sound and working alongside contemporaries like Chez Damier, and across the pond, Basic Channel. His label, Prescription Records, became a renowned purveyor of the deep house sound. He spread his vision from the American Midwest to New York, Europe and beyond. 

In this talk recorded live at Miami Art Week, Trent talks to Resident Advisor music critic Kiana Mickles about the songs and dance floors that shaped him in this early part of his musical trajectory. In addition to playing some of his favourite jazz, funk and disco songs, he reflects on clubs like Studio 54, Paradise Garage and The Warehouse, which he claims matured him as an artist and irrevocably shaped the trajectory of club culture. Trent was instrumental in co-curating an exhibit called Walk The Night (which premiered at this multidisciplinary event), a photographic homage to these spaces and other historic clubs around the world.

To hear more about the legacy of Trent's favourite clubs and the music that shaped him, listen to the episode in full.

Live recording of a dj-set played at Belgium's infamous Decadance club in Ghent. House music, all vinyl. Tracks by Gemini, Mind Games (20:20 Vision), Brett Johnson, MAW, Matt John (Perlon), Trackheadz, JT Donaldson, Cheek (aka Gilb'r), MK, Justin Martin, Gene Fariss and many, many more.

I recently stumbled upon this 17 year old dj-set on an old HD and thought I'd share it here as I thought it still sounded fresh and genuine.
Recorded live at Belgium's infamous Decadance club in Ghent on March 24th 2007, here's nearly two hours of various shades of bumpin' house music. Vinyl only - this is what I sounded like in those days, and some of these records I still hold dear and play today.

Decadence was a very special place. The club opened at 10pm Saturday night and wouldn't close until Sunday afternoon. We spent countless beautiful nights and extended mornings there, blissfully dancing together with friends and strangers.

They'd have lots of amazing international guests week after week, from the US (Derrick Carter, Lance Desardi), UK (Inland Knights) and more, but also had lots of incredible resident djs. My home town is Leuven, a 1 hour train ride from Ghent, and we would regularly make the trek. The house and techno scene in those days was strong all over Flanders: Leuven, Brussels, Ghent, Antwerp and even most smaller towns had great club nights happening. (And then I'm not even talking about our trips to Wallonia, but that's a whole different story.)
