Duration: 5 min 9 s
Description: Demo track of 'The Weight of Soft Things' produced by Jefferson Thomas.

📖 I wasn’t expecting this energy… definitely a refreshing surprise

The prominent Swedish duo of Elfenberg(@elfenberg) returns to the label after featuring with the wicked “Kebabsyra”on Rotten Citizens (@rotten-city-records) Compilation Vol.4. They've recently released music on labels such as Les Yeux Orange, Feines Tier and Hard Fist. The return to Rotten City will see the light of the long awaited “Elfenboogie EP”, containing three powerful peak time tracks with all the flavors they like: Acid, Disco and Tribal vibes.
“Vasta La Hista” is a clear example of a club bomb. Direct, raw, and psychedelic. 100% effective but non generic!

“Acid Cocoon’” dig into the darker vibes with a spooky and sexy female voice in a “Post-Electroclash” exercise.
With “Elfenboogie” they show us again their favorite elements; Percussion, drive, a soulful vocal and some random weirdness to top it off. "Let's do the Elfenboogie", "Come n Elfenboogie with us”, they always joked around with the term, that now is the title track on this very EP.

The release is complemented with a remix from Julian Sanza & Alvaro Cabana Remix. Both DJs residents at Kaputt Club (Bogotá) joining forces again to turn the Classic Disco vibe of “Elfenboogie” into a trippy and cosmic interpretation.

Thick Of It

Mallin, Sam Dexter, Clover Ray - Thick Of It (Extended Mix)

Early Support by Richie Hawtin, Loco Dice, SKREAM, Tiga, Hot Chip, Laurent Garnier, Optimo, Erol Alkan, Ralph Lawson, Tensnake, The Rapture, Maxxi Soundsystem, Oliver Koletzki, Riva Starr, Huxley and many more... 

Since Richie Hawtin played this track in his Boiler Room Set on Ibiza, many people have been asking about this Joyce Muniz collab. The track features fresh vocals by Bam (formerly known as MC Baby Bam) from the legendary 90ies hip-hop group The Jungle Bothers (Native Tongues/Zulu Nation). The beat is based around a sample from Kraftwerk's 'It's More Fun To Compute,' and for this version we've actually got full approval from Kraftwerk (yes - guess what). So we're happy to release it now. Hope you dig it too.

L.O.V.E (Lello B Remix)

David Glass - In My Heart (Preview)

It’s been a minute since we’ve had our head of A&R, Sam Dexter, on the label. 2022 was the last time we had some Dexter deepness to fill up our USB. However, just listening to this sumptuous slice of underground groove, we all agree that “Just A Dream” is worth the wait! Loopy, skippy drums lead the way before wondrously hypnotic keys and a slow-burning bottom end take the groove into overdrive. Next is Dexter’s own vocal (pitched up, to sound female, like Breach did in “Jack”) tells us it was “All just a dream, just a dream” before a delicious horn solo tops the lot. Like a 90s MAW transported to 2025, this is pure jazzy house brilliance.

Call Upon Me (Original Mix) ‎
» Franky Rizardo «
» CALL UPON ME «

Label: Rejected
Katalog: REJ072
BPM: 124 
Released: 15 Dez 2017
Genre: House

» What a year it's been for Franky Rizardo. With a strong presence on Defected (including a highly coveted In TheHouse curation session) and massive EPs on the likes of Circus and Abode, hes now set to sign the year out in style on Rejected. One of the most successful and heavily ID'd tracks in label boss Joris Voorn's sets since the summer, 'Call Upon Me' is all about subtle senses and stages of elevation. Strutting with a classic house jack, theres an ageless Chi-town swing to the walking bassline as we roll deeper and deeper into the groove. Suddenly a springy key riff pops up on the vibe horizon and becomes the foremost focus of the track rising and rising and rising some more with a delicious build-up that keeps on giving for longer than usual deep house conventions would have you believe. Paying off with a simple but crucial staccato twist on the keys, and even more juice in the rolling bassline bedrock, it's one of those tracks that total disarms and dancefloor and blindsides them with a whole new sense of energy. Playful, powerful and positive; the perfect way to end a perfect year for Franky. « (source: https://goo.gl/1qj1hb)
