Hi Jacques, where can we get the track in high quality?

With release nr. 11, Luv Shack Records are once again eager to exalt the diversity of their releases, while keeping up the quality.

LUV011 is the split EP of the two up and coming electronic music duos "Manhooker" and "Space Echo". Whilst both projects are still relatively new to the scene, they have equally made a stir with their first releases.

Manhooker consists of the two Berliners by choice Tomasz “Guiddo” Switala and Sebastian “Mavin” Magassouba. Their first release appeared on Ostgut Ton´s sublabel 'Unterton' and their second EP was recently released on german heavy hitters 'Sonar Kollektiv' - a collab with ex New Yorker Snax, featuring a remix by Justus Köhncke.

With 'Pushin & Shovin', Manhooker are once again evoking the spirit of classic soulful house hymns. It's an uplifting mix of 90s organs, filtered arpeggios and thick drums all held together by an acid bassline and Mavin´s shimmering vocals. And not to forget the trumpet solo!

The remix of 'Pushin & Shovin' comes from Brazilian wunderkind ROTCIV (who has already remixed Manhooker on their Unterton release). He strips off the smoothness of the original in favor of a more raw and analogue vibe. Its groove seems like a merger of modern electro and classic house, and although ROTCIV´s trademark stabs and pads are used quite ecstatically on this remix, the song structure remains just as strong as in the original.

On The flipside we have Space Echo, the duo of Viennese producer caTekk and (Luv Shack`s very own) Lee Stevens. Their first ever production as a duo was a remix for none other than Austra on Domino Records.

They're offering two equally powerful cuts on the B-side; 'Soul Power' is nothing short of a club burner. A mighty and continuously building ride of funk organs and disco drums, all with a delightfully modern touch. When the vocal kicks in for the first time, ringing in the break, the audience will surely fall into a frenzy when exposed to it! The disco guitars are just the icing on the cake.

'Soul People' takes a slightly more sensual path. Expect dreamy rhodes, dubbed out percussive organs, an almost reggae worthy bassline, a painfully sweet vocal hook and a sharp rhythm that make this track a perfect choice for every warmup, after-hours and daytime set!

With all its ingredients, LUV011 will provide something for everyone who loves electronic music with soul!

Tony Orlando - Don't Let Go (Vhyce Edit)

Call us crazy, but we've always had a soft spot for Crazy P here at Data Transmission, which if you knew what the 'P' stood for, makes that sentence take on a whole new colour... Anyhoo, what we're trying to say is that the pioneering UK trio have been able to call us fans for a long time and so it didn't take us long - less than half a second in fact - to say yes when they offered us band member Hot Toddy's remix of 'Something More' to premiere.

Taken from their acclaimed album, ‘Walk Dance Talk Sing’, which arrived via their own Walk Don't Walk imprint earlier in the year, Toddy reshapes 'Something More' into, well something more, transforming the broody, guitar driven original into a retrofitted slice of disco jam packed with groove and guaranteed to get hips swaying on the dance floor.

Arriving October 30th as part of a package that also sees Ron Basejam, Asadinho, Juju & Jordash and Luke Solomon serve up remixes of cuts from their last album, you can stream Hot Toddy's 'Disco Redux' of Crazy P's 'Something More' in full below.

We don't know much about Ponzu Island except that the tracks were laying on Soundcloud for quite a while ! According to the promo of the EP, this sounds as if "Morgan Geist and Todd Terje took some acid and locked themselves in a room with a sea view, a synth, and a computer". Well I don't know for the acid part but the synth force is definitely strong here, with a retro touch that keeps it's class untill the end and a strong sense of melody, making it another Australian smash hit... again ! Andras Fox on remix duty revisiting here "Super Koto" in the form of an extended mix with a slower bpm and his magic touch here and there. Out soon on Apersonal !

Steve Monite "Only You" (Frankie Francis Disco Jam Edit)

En parfaits ambassadeurs d’une sono mondiale et moderne, le duo, Amadou & Mariam n’a jamais cessé de confronter sa musique à d’autres univers comme la pop ou l’électro et on ne compte plus les sorciers des dancefloors (Yuksek, Vitalic, Henrik Schwarz, Fatima Yamaha ou Voilaaa) qui ont transporté l’univers d’Amadou et Mariam sous la boule à facettes. 
Le morceau « Filaou Bessame », sorte de blues moderne qui plonge dans les rythmes maliens, passe désormais entre les mains expertes de Cerrone, le roi de la disco pailleté et énergique. 
Sa formule magique et dansante tout en rythmes irrésistibles et cuivres chaleureux, embarque le morceau vers des horizons disco qu’on ne lui soupçonnait pas et transforme le track original en une petite bombe hédoniste parfaite pour se déhancher avec style sur le dancefloor.
