We return to Glasgow for Optimo Trax 009. Keeping the family business going so to speak, Jasper is the son of veteran and legendary Glasgow dj, Harri. While he can't help but be inspired by his dad's 30 year plus and still going strong dj career and musical knowledge, Jasper is definitely not treading on anyone's coat tails and very much has his own thing going on. A very talented dj and producer in his own right, Jasper is at the forefront of the current generation of Glaswegian dance ambassadors. Flatmate of Jackmaster and receiving lots of props from Skream amongst many others, Twitch was delighted to have the opportunity to release his first record. He has literally watched Jasper grow up, with fond memories of his dad taking him into record shops before he could even walk.

On his debut EP, Jasper unleashes three cuts of his signature bump n' grind atmospheric house music, all swinging drums and heavy basslines. The EP is rounded off with a remix by his dad with the help of another Glasgow (via South Africa) stalwart, Esa, as Hillhead Young Team. It's a family affair and bright things are assured for Mr. James.

Optimo Trax OT 009 is released on 12" and digital July 2014. Distribution by Kompakt and Rub A Dub. Mastered by James Savage.

Marc Houle is back with his latest full-length album entitled “Cola Party” on his own Items & Things imprint.

The album contains 9 tracks, with the main singles being “Cola Party” and “I Don’t Wanna Know About You”. “Cola Party”, the lead track of the album, sets the scene with Houle’s textbook pitched down vocals weaving through tightly programmed drum patterns and heavy low frequencies. “I Don’t Wanna Know About You” is a late-night jam whose pulsating lead synth and effortlessly catchy main vocal hook make it one of the more upbeat tracks of the album. Both tracks will be released two weeks and one week before the album’s release respectively on iTunes.

“Cola Party” comes as a long-awaited follow up to Houle’s well-received 2012 LP “Undercover”. As an album, it contains all the elements fans and followers have grown to love with every Marc Houle release; his signature take on techno and jacking minimalistic-funk shines through from start to finish. If anything, the album is a clear example that Houle is still at the top of his game after more than 10 years in the business.

As a bonus for digital DJs and Traktor users worldwide, the album will be part of the Native Instruments' Traktor Remix Set series in July. The stems of 7 of the tracks from the album will be on this Remix Set release, following on from an array of other well-known artists who have done the same since the Remix Set series’ inception in Autumn 2012.

“Cola Party” is Houle’s sixth studio album and comes just in time for summer, with the release date set for 27th June.

LIVIO & ROBY FEATURING FAUVRELLE - SHAKE THAT ASS
INC. ANDREA OLIVA REMIX
OUT AUGUST 18th 2014

2 years ago, Romanian producers Livio & Roby made their stunning debut on Saved alongside the Argentinian master of emotional house music, Guti. They’re back, this time alongside Inflagrante Music label head Fauvrelle, with their brand new cut Shake That Ass.

With a noticeable shift from their more melodic debut, Livio & Roby and Fauvrelle have fused Balearic beats with a hypnotising vocal to create a real taste of summer in this throwback anthem, perfect for the dance floors. On the flip side, we’re pleased to bring you a dazzling remix from Saved stalwart Andrea Oliva; fresh from hit records on DFTD and his latest mix compilation for the in-house Ants brand at Ushuaia, Ibiza, Andrea returns to Saved with a chunky remix of the original that rounds the package off nicely.

Livio & Roby Featuring Fauvrelle - Shake That Ass

Some more new music from Aus here who, if you've been following Debuts recently, sure are on a winning streak at the minute. This time it's Midland with a cut from his spanking new 'Duster' EP, which you may well recognise from Jamie XX's most recent Boiler Room. To our ears, it's some of his most exciting productions to date!

Midland 'Reflex' - Boiler Room Debuts

With such an impeccable track record for his original productions, any news of an impending Josh Wink release is usually met with a familiar mix of excitement and trepidation. When the bar is perpetually raised to such lofty heights, what can one man do to keep such momentum going? 

The answer, naturally, is to slam the listener with the kinetic intensity of a full on jackhammer acid assault, and that’s exactly what ‘I’m Talking To You’ does. A swelling TB 303 motif contorts and swims around a vocal snippet, distorted and chopped to mind-bending effect in classic Wink style. Make no mistakes, the Philly godfather still reigns supreme; Wink is here, and he's talking to you. 

The release also features a (subjectively) more subdued ‘Groove’ mix, and a signature ‘TalkApella’ tool for DJ sets.

Josh Wink - Talking To You (Original)

After taking a short break ‘House of Disco Records’ are back with a purpose. Not content with the adding to the plethora of ‘Disco Edit’ labels representing the genre they have opted to walk a more distinct path, determined to lean on originals or clever sampling as opposed to outright re-rubs.  In this their twelfth release they recruit previous label-mate Harry Wolfman and compadre Skinny Love to provide three stunning dancefloor ready originals. The duo have certainly delivered on the brief and turned in three diverse and clever takes on what a modern Disco track with a House soul can represent. 

On remix duties they have recruited a promising young producer ‘Kickflip Mike’, who has released on Box Aus Holz as Joschka Seibt and paired him with experienced disco merchant ‘The Revenge’ who is responsible for some of the best remixes we know of, and he doesn’t disappoint here with either remix.

Also as a cheeky bonus our buddy from New York Jkriv has crafted a remix that wil only be available to download on digital from beatport.
