I see through all the facades & the gimmicks 
It’s been a while since someone kept it authentic 
They know I earned when they see me riding in it 
This light of mine won’t ever let it diminish Oh nooo, & yes I keep that flame 
The boy that I used to be me, would love the man I became 
I lost friends on the way, but this the path that I paved 
I’ll keep betting on myself until I’m dead in the grave 

coulda gone a million ways, kept my eyes on the target 
I need my worth paid in full no I can’t settle for bargains 
Signed a deal with interscope then I got out it was garbage 
I don’t need to pay them out cuz I’m gone Kill it regardless 

I’ve been focused on growth & everyday getting better 
These People come & they go they switching up like the weather 
They’ll be your friend your winning but they gone leave when you’re losing 
You need some real ones around you be careful who you be choosing, 


Gotta Look beyond the surface 
everywhere you go they’ll be serpents 
Bunch a bullshit right behind the curtain 
Stay the course don’t get caught up in the circus

Brawther's latest vinyl-only three-tracker is only getting a limited pressing, meaning that to get your hands on this stellar record you're going to have to be quick. Never fear though as we have a stream of one of the cuts.

Arguably the best track on the EP, 'VXVXVX' is a rolling masterpiece that oozes groove from the off. It effortlessly blends warm pads with thumping kicks and of course some cosmic whirrings that Brawther has down to a tee. Absolutely stunning.

Re-igniting the dancefloors twenty years after its original release, Steve Bug refreshes this classic Chez Damier production, originally from 1992. ‚Can You Feel It‘ is one of those classic New York / Chicago House jams that just defines a moment in dance music history. Dessous label boss Steve Bug arranges two special mixes that celebrate and re-juvinate this very special record.

Steve‘s straight up remix maintains the classic vibes with a sensitive 90s themed re-work that calls upon clean, fresh drums and smooth sub bass as its initial building blocks. The instantly recognisable vocal is included, as is the hey-day chord vibes and glorious US house melodies. Simply deadly in the right moments... A Re-Dub version is also included that spaces things out and opens up the strings in a breezy and superbly mixed club tool.

A ‚New York Dub‘ has also been included, dug out from the Chez Damier vaults and re-mastered for 2012 - highly prized vibes on this and his trademark, pushing, swinging drums keep us going ‚on and on‘!

headphone mix.  currently setting up a new studio but lack of monitors won't stop me from making music.  I may actually mix it when the new studio is live.

Tom Trago's new 12", the album sampler to the upcoming album The Light Fantastic. Featuring the dancefloor stomper "Two Together" which was co-produced by Steffi, "True Friends" featuring Breach on the vocals and the non-album track "Avenido". Big TIp! 

Tom Trago is back, giddily dancing out of the studio into the dizzying light of a European summer. Tucked under his arm are the masters for his third album, The Light Fantastic.

Since his most recent appearance on Rush Hour last autumn, Trago has spent most of his time in the studio. Over four memorable months, he constantly jammed, recorded, tweaked and produced tracks, until he had enough strong material to put together what might just be his best full-length to date. 

Along the way, he was joined by an impressive guest list of guests and collaborators from Amsterdam and beyond, all of who were roped in after “popping into the studio to hang out”. 

You’ll have to wait to hear the album, but the good news is that there’s an enticing teaser of what’s to come in the shape of this formidable three-track taster. One of the tracks, the chiming, loose-limbed, bass-heavy workout “Avenido”, is exclusive to this 12”.

When he sat down to make The Light Fantastic, Trago was keen to recapture the essence of his early work, and particularly the melodic warmth, kaleidoscopic chords and robust grooves that characterized his 2009 debut album, Voyage Direct. This time, though, he wanted to rely less on samples and apply the lessons learnt from four years of largely acclaimed production work. As a result, The Light Fantastic oozes a gleeful sense of fun, whilst retaining the depth and definition that has always been a hallmark of Trago’s work.

The two album tracks featured on this sampler confirm the rich dividends that this new approach brought. “True Friends”, featuring the combined talents of Brit-in-Amsterdam Ben Westbeech and local hero San Proper, bristles with loved-up positivity, all bubbling electronic melodies, fuzzy vocoder vocals and jaunty, bottom-end bounce.

From the Rush Hour site: 
Then there’s the small matter of “Two Together”, an extra large helping of the kind of loopy, feel-good deep house funk with which he made his name. Expertly teased, tweaked and produced, it sees nagging hooks, darting synths, jazz keys and disco stabs riding a relentless, full-throttle groove. Co-produced with Berlin-based Dutch producer Steffi, it’s nothing less than a wide-eyed late night rush. If it doesn’t have you tripping The Light Fantastic, nothing will.
