Premiere: Jiminy Hop - Levera [Meanwhile]

Opening 2022's final quarter, Cid Inc's Replug Records welcomes Mike Griego back to the label for a new EP. Based in Buenos Aires, the Argentinean DJ and producer has carved out a unique place in the electronic underground. His exacting design, addictive grooves and avant-garde melodies have made for a transcendent sound that continues to unify dancefloors around the world. With a career that now approaches fifteen years and one hundred discography credits, Mike would have to be considered one of progressive music's elite artists. A meticulous discography reflects his choosy nature; with Replug and Sudbeat serving as the primary landing spots for his musical output. With 2021 being highlighted by his most recent Replug vehicle ‘Dysbiosis', the Argentine made a much-lauded return to Hernan Cattaneo's Sudbeat Music earlier this year with ‘Foreign Affair', before laying down impressive renditions of Kasper Koman's ‘In Circles' and Dmitry Molosh & Navar's ‘Foreign Wonders', released c/o Juicebox Music and Proportion respectively. Now, continuing what has been a great year, Mike returns to Replug with a three-track showcase entitled ‘Flying Doves'. 

As a favourite of Replug label boss Cid Inc across the summer season, EP opener and title selection ‘Flying Doves' finds Mike at his creative best. Shot in high-definition and full of detail and drive, it's an emotive voyage where the Buenos Aires resident flexes his freethinking muscles and lands comfortably in-between groove-centric science and hopeful musicality. The inevitable zenith of this peak-time excursion mounts with nostalgic melodies and balmy harmonics converging, achieving a rich, colourful timbre over a bed of pulsating beats and fascinating percussion arrangements. 

More enigmatic yet is the EPs second selection 'Brothi'', a creation which finds Mike etching towards a darker monochrome. Plush kick drums and voluptuous bass stabs lead to electrified iterations of new age sonics. Cleverly cadenced coactions underpin a fascinating blend of pyrotechnic effects, before segueing into the main break where metallic melodies and effervescent rides unite, setting the course for a finale of rebounding rhythms and surreal sonic aesthetics.

The third and final selection 'Blood Echo' further solidifies Mike's transcendent abilities. Possessing a dramatic undercurrent, the Argentine works hypnotizing structures over punchy kick drums and detailed percussion, creating waves of locomotive meditation. Its thrilling pulse has become a production hallmark for Mike, one where inventive drum patterns, mesmerizing rhythms and quixotic effects carry the storyboard onwards to a thunderous dance floor awakening. A fitting conclusion to a fresh three-track odyssey, one where Mike carefully balances technique and musicality, thus continuing his tenure as one of Argentina's most beloved progressive house producers.

The principles of humanity depend on the decade system, so it is not surprising that the number ten has a special significance. The tenth release of Guy Mantzur's label proves the point. How do you appreciate those special moments and the good times in your life?
Whatever makes you happy, music always enhances the emotion behind it. Simon Vuarambon, a Swiss living in Argentina, is a producer with a dozen years of experience. His debut release on Moments is a game-changer. Not only for his successful career but also for the label.
A three-track material takes over twenty breathtaking minutes to display outstanding technical skill and passion.
The opening track, Afrika, floats on a smooth groove with hypnotic synth lines and traces of tribal elements. Meco continues the impeccable drum structure but goes deeper into melancholia and peaks with the memorable lead. Oasis is an exemplary closing track and a thought-provoking finale.
Every one of Simon's tracks has a one-hundred percent individual weight. However, listening to them as a piece indicates the praiseworthy delivery of an uncompromising concept.

Crosstown Rebels sub-label Rebellion welcomes back Toronto-based DJ/producer Mustafa  Ismaeel for his ‘Groove You’ EP, featuring collaborations with Dilby and Enamour.  

Iraqi-born Canadian artist Mustafa Ismaeel has been a vital part of the Toronto underground scene and is now  sharing his music and energy across the globe. Releasing on contemporary labels such as The Soundgarden,  Steyoyoke and Manual, as well as Damian Lazarus’ Rebellion, his musical output aims to constantly redefine his  musical boundaries, with groove and emotion as the key to his material. Returning to the label following his recent  appearance at Get Lost during MMW, he serves up a trio of considered and cultured house records across his  ‘Groove You’ EP, featuring a pair of classy first-time collaborations. 

“With this release I tried to focus on the groove while conveying emotions in a subtle manner. I followed a  more intuitive and practical approach with tracks that simply work on the dancefloor. Collaborating with  Enamour, Dilby and the vocalist Shar has been a real treat as we had an effortless understanding of each  other’s vision.” - Mustafa Ismaeel. 

The EP opens with solo production and title cut ‘Groove You’, a seven-minute roller with gritty claps and  percussion over rich bass designs. Add warm, swirling pads and a hypnotic lead synth next to the steamy vocals,  and you have an emotionally intense cut. 

Next comes the first collaboration with Dilby, a tastemaker with releases on labels like 8Bit, Saved and Bondage  Music. Together they cook up ‘Twisted Mind’ featuring Shar, a deep house sound with supple drums and bass  underneath emotive vocals that bring the soul to this heads-down groove. Closing the EP is ‘Nothingness’  alongside LA-based talent Enamour, whose dynamic and powerful sound has taken him to labels such as Last  Night On Earth, Get Physical Music and Factory 93. Their collaboration is a brilliantly chunky mid-tempo house  groove with sensuous sax motifs, lush chords and muttered vocals, bringing a sense of late-night intimacy.

Simon Vuarambon, is a young producer born in Geneva, Switzerland who actually now lives in Argentina. The talented chap has released on Subtract and Flow amongst others, and has seen support from John Digweed, Guy J, Nick Warren and of course Hernan Cattaneo. 
This release shows Simons maturity and musical development as we kick off with the deep, hypnotic warm melodic layers of Bahia, interspersed with subtle effective percussion while the drop is dreamlike with a glowing wash of feelings. 
Pandora is next, with its understated yet driving bassline powering the groove along, while Simon manages to keep a hold on its energy, subtlety allowing the housey feel good mellow spirit too ooze out as though a liquid flowing over is soundscape. 
And to close we find Soulmates, the tougher and techier of the collection, interspersing some roomy glowing love, while some filtered stabs collide beautifully.

Ahead of the full Karol XVII & MB Valence remix album arriving later in the year, Get Physical Music is back with a second selection taken from it. Guy J and Compuphonic provide fresh new versions while the remixes from Jackspeare and Karol XVII & MB Valence are from the vaults.

Guy J has been at the forefront of the prog house scene for decades. The Lost & Found label head is a master of melody and shows that here with his take on 'Waterfall Drops.' It's a slow-burning gem with diffused pads and twinkling melodies that captivate the head as well as the heel. Compuphonic is Maxime Firket and someone who has an expansive sound and has produced several underground hits on labels like Exploited. His take on 'Sonus & Bang Bang' is brilliantly lush, harmonic and soft focus, with distant steel drums and shimmering melodies bringing sophisticated sound to the grooves.

Karol XVII & MB Valence's 'The Last Update Mix' of 'Waterfall Drops' is one with loose, jangling chords and drums. It's light and airy with a dubby low end full of warmth. Label regular Jackspeare closes out with a spine-tingling deep house rework with cute melodic hooks and sombre chords over a persuasive beat.

This is a second superb remix EP before the full collection arrives later in the year.

Celebrating a landmark achievement of reaching 100 releases, Sudbeat pull out all of the stops with a star studded release, featuring many of the labels favourites in one smile inducing swoop and introducing a new graphic restyling that mark a new era for the label!

Not much needs to be said about Guy J, who is the perfect choice to proclaim this Centenarian landmark.

'Algorithm' is a stunning musical workout, a lesson in how to create tension, with its subtleties being its crowning glory. The pulsating rhythms create a mystique, matched only by its beautifully layered and carefully crafted harmonious tones and tripped out effects. Understated sounds cascade, creating a powerful soundscape that packs a mighty punch, that all adds wondrously to this magical musical meting pot.

The first remix steps up label heads Hernan Cattaneo and Graziano Raffa, who of course are the ideal candidates to try represent the label sound. Their fine rework utilises the original elements superbly, whilst also adding further drama and energy with its sweeping pads, beautiful chords and dubby overtones. A pacey affair ensues as things intensify elegantly, drawing you in to its striking climatic breakdown. Layer upon layer seem to collectively erupt as we peak to a crowd frenzying occasion thats sure to raise the roof.

If you hadn't been spoiled enough, then the Spanish emperor Henry Saiz is up next, bringing all his usual class to close this package beautifully. Henry's hallmark epic sound is represented in full effect here, as a dramatic and invigorating workout ensues. Locking you in to its groove and then swamping you with a profound lead synth, reminiscent of film scores and conjuring up sci-fi images delivers the powerhouse to be reckoned with. This tale unfurls further as the vivid breakdown delivers another turn its saga.

SB100 | Guy J 'Algorithm' (Original Mix)

Guy J's music is always touched with a magic and emotion that few rival. Forever drawing influence from contrasting styles, genres and concepts, he has become synonymous with creating innovative and out-of-the-box productions. 

Adhering to that ethos, his new West On Mars 4-track EP for Bedrock embraces his innate ability to produce tracks of the highest stature, and underlines why for so many people around the world, Guy Js music is uniquely joyous, uplifting, intelligent and beautiful. There can be no doubt that he is one of the standout electronic artists of today. 

West On Mars opens proceedings with its plethora of intricate rhythmic elements, expansive melodic hooks and spiralling acidic overtones. All fused perfectly in an eternally developing journey like no other. In contrast, Why Are You Here turns up the funk factor with a superbly squelchy hip-swinging groove, overlaid with flawlessly infectious melodic motifs. The energetic On The Go buzzes with a swarm of intricate elements, creating a soaring, hypnotic masterpiece. Finally, the smooth, mesmerizing, dubbed-out subtleties of Temperament complete what is another impeccable package from Guy J and Bedrock.

Let​ ​your​ ​mind​ ​wander​ ​free​ ​with​ ​the​ ​first​ ​in​ ​a​ ​new​ ​annual​ ​compilation​ ​series​ ​from​ ​Crosstown​ ​Rebels, allow​ ​us​ ​to​ ​introduce​ ​Spirits.​ ​Label​ ​founder​ ​Damian​ ​Lazarus​ ​has​ ​compiled​  what​ ​he​ ​describes​ ​as​ ​“a​ fresh​ ​psychedelic​ ​journey​ ​into​ ​the​ ​mind”,​ ​aiming​ ​to​ ​bring​ ​together​ ​a​ ​collection​ ​of​ ​new​ ​artists​ ​from​ ​both his​ ​imprints.

dubspeeka​’s Lyssa opens the album with a sturdy bassline, eerie synths and a haunting melody reminiscent of yesteryear. Followed shortly by Audiojack​’s Reverie; a heavy kick from the start is succeeded by spoken word on the subject of meditation. Rowee and Know Kontrol ​incorporate poignant wooden percussion in the intro to Amarantro, the song features absorbing lyrics and a delightfully oblique melody. Be Mine by Siopis featuring Ellbee Bad gets straight into the action with hard-hitting reverberated low notes, steadily building up through sentimental vocals and enticing synthesis. A minimalistic xylophone and drawn out synths form the intro of Magit Cacoon​’s Nonsense. Jonthan Kaspar​’s Zarun is a sensory delight, littered with unique percussion, a muted kick and siren-like midi sounds.

Alice Rose seduces in Another Way produced by Raw District​. Her voice, similar to that of Bjork, perfectly encompasses the heavy bassline and hard-hitting percussion. Robbie Akbal has an ear for a great intro, mysterious sound effects and gradually building drum sounds form the basis for Tavarua. Nico Stojan & David Mayar have gone balearic with Killing Your Lover, featuring vocals from the incredible Jan Blomqvist​. Dance Spirit featuring Fab Morvan are up next with Voices, a journey through spiritual vocals and bassy reverb to a rolling kick and percussion-heavy ending. Finally, Pale Blue finishes the album on a high with Journey Into Light, a gradual intro leads the way for an exquisite, yet minimalistic melody and enchanting female vocals.

Skeleton label owner Dubspeeka has seen huge success since the release of his debut album Population 50201, just over a year ago. Leeds based Audiojack are rapidly rising on the house and techno scene, the duo recently enjoyed musical outputs on Sasha’s Last Night On Earth, as well as the revered Mobilee. Receiving a nomination for Best Track at the Vicious Music Awards not long back, Leonardo Gonnelli has been rapidly building momentum in the scene producing and performing under his new alias Rowee. Siopis, or you might know him as Silversurfer, returns to Crosstown Rebels once more after co-producing the label’s very first release back in 2003. Juggling his time, the Berlin-based producer also runs his own imprint MANGALI.

Quickly becoming one of the most admired female artists on the techno scene, Magit Cacoon has recently remixed the likes of Steven Wilson and Dast. Cologne based producer Jonathan Kaspar has wowed audiences with his groovy sets worldwide and most recently remixed David Mayer on Objektivity. Formerly Vernon&DeCosta, since 2013, Vernon Bara Massimo DaCosta have been producing deeper, darker house music under the alias Raw District. Alongside releases on established labels such as Souvenir Music and Defected, the duo have played renowned Belgian festivals such as Extrema Outdoor and Wecandance.

Long time friend of Lazarus, Robbie Akbal has had the privilege of living through various generations of house music. On the scene since 1993, his productions have evolved over time and the quality kept him at the top of his game. House music forerunners Nico Stojan and David Mayer have been causing a stir on dancefloors worldwide this year. LA duo Dance Spirit have appeared at several Get Lost events and previously released on sister label Rebellion. Set to release further music on Crosstown Rebels, Pale Blue have risen to the top since the launch their debut album The Past We Leave Behind.

Serge Devant returns to one of his favoured label’s with his White Groove EP , delivering a pair of deep, textured tracks that’ll vitalise any rigid dancefloor. Archie Hamilton makes his Crosstown Rebels debut and supplies a punchy, tripped-out revision of lead track, White Groove .

White Groove is an absorbing mix of rumbling sub bass, soft, textured percussion, and ethereal pads. Loose percussion and a tough kick carve out the initial vibe on C onnect To Server . A hypnotising, low-riding synth is the final layer and helps generate even more groove into this peak time roller.

“ Happy to be back again with my Crosstown family. I’ve been testing these tracks for a while on the dance floor, they always get people moving. Really happy with the remix from Archie too, the cherry on such a sweet cake.” Serge Devant

Archie Hamilton switches up White Groove, revising the bassline into a buzzing, forward pushing rhythm but retains the mystical feel of the original, bolstering the whirring pads and using intricate percussive sounds and FX.

Serge Devant hails from Brooklyn, New York and released his seminal track Fearing Love in 2015 on Emerald City. Since then he’s been championed by Damian Lazarus, a firm favourite on both Crosstown Rebels and Rebellion, whilst also receiving plaudits for his releases on Knee Deep In Sound and Circus Recordings. Moscow Records, Moss.Co and Arkityp owner Archie Hamilton is one of the UK’s most promising talents, consistently releasing high quality house and techno on the likes of Get Physical, Fuse London, 2020 Vision, Fear of Flying among others.
