Duwayne Motley's house music bona fides have few equals. Over the years, the prolific Charleston-based DJ and producer created exceptional sounds for the likes of Salted, King Street Sounds, Glasgow Underground, and quite a few more. "Come Get Me," Duwayne's 2009 release on Nervous Records upped the ante, receiving much acclaim and being selected for Nervous Records' best of compilation, Nervous House 20, mixed by CJ Mackintosh. Viva Recordings was among those who took notice and released Duwayne Motley's collaboration with Zandrina, "Gave Up On Love," in 2021.

Now Duwayne returns to Viva for an exhilarating house music statement, "Saturday Night." A chunky four-on-the-floor club bounce leads to sparkling layers of keys, strings, and staccato plucks as an uplifting vocal, once again from Zandrina, praises the virtues of Saturday night. This one is pure disco dynamite, beaming energy straight to the dancefloor in the form of percussive laser fills. Duwayne has also handily provided a Dub that takes the groove into deeper realms, looping and filtering the main keys while building the other elements smoothly on top. This one's a definite future staple for weekend peak time.

.
Luis Machuca (Friskybeat Records) – “A great uplifting vocal jam.”  
Wilbour Craddock (Groovewest) – “Pure disco infused house magic.”  
Stranger Danger (Moulton Music) – “Nice little chugger. Full support.”  
Richie Hartness (Untitled Music) – “Sweet sweet soulful sounds.”  
Mason Rothert (Below Zero Radio) – “This is beautiful and sexy.”  
Hippie Torrales (Cyberjamz Radio) – “A great, straight up house groove.”

Coming Soon from Beatservice Records:

1.  Mermaid (featuring Guro)

Mermaid is the lead off single from the upcoming "Datamusikk" EP on Beatservice in June.

Oslo-based Boblebad aka Ulf Moen Denneche returns to Beatservice Records with his latest EP, Datamusikk. Having released a succession of standout singles, EPs, and albums across the past three years for the fellow Norwegian label, Boblebad serves up a cosmic whirlwind of polychromatic bliss with this latest four-track EP. Plotting a course through radiant funk, enchanting oddities, red light basement flavours, and cosmic disco it's a voyage of vibrance from the prolific multi-instrumentalist.

A true creative at heart, Boblebad is at home conveying ideas and emotion through the medium of visual art as he is crafting groove-laden sonic textures. Over the years his productions have found homes on respected dance music labels such as Badabing, Paper Recordings, and Full Pupp, with Beatservice becoming a favoured outlet for his genre-traversing creations.

Opening the EP, top-down cruising the solar highways, "Mermaid" layers sweeping synths with juiced-up basslines as young jazz singer Guro showcases a celestial debut of vocal prowess. Ethereal textures, dreamscape dynamics, this is the soundtrack to summer you never knew you needed.

Stomping through the dunes, the title track, "Datamusikk," follows. A squelched-up symphony of crunched gated snares, chugging bass, and desert rock guitar licks. Deep, powerful and alluring its grooves suck you in further with every second that passes.

Take to the flip for a dose of hypnotic, machine-melding stabs and Detroit-flavoured late-night feelings in the form of "You Got Me." A world of textural percussive hits and robot-infused Arps that deliver a commanding presence on the dancefloor.

Rounding off the EP, "Couchsurfer" exhibits Boblebad's future-facing, acid-tinged cosmic disco. Martian music with a human soul, modulating synth touches and a tantalising bassline floating out across the ether.

Four kinetic cuts that demonstrate the range and dynamism of Boblebad's productions for one of Norway's most consistent labels.

Out Now On Hardkiss Music: 

1.  Look Out Baby Here I Come
2. Lightning Strike (New Story New Sound)
3. Psychedelic Woman
4. I Don’t Want To Fight

Producer and DJ Gavin Hardkiss delivers the first of a four-part series of releases as part of the 17+ song album titled Inheritance.
Inheritance tracks Gavin’s life from growing up in South Africa through the San Francisco Hardkiss era of the '90s to his baffling multi-genre tastes. The project is a Basquiat-like collage of sounds inherited along the way. Sounds heard as a boy through the second-floor bedroom window in Johannesburg. Sounds heard in dusty warehouses throughout America in the '90s. Snippets of conversation with people through the years alongside Instagram grabs.

Inheritance will be waterfalled as several EPs culminating in the release of the album.

Previously, Gavin has released six albums under the guise of Hawke and two albums with his Hardkiss brothers. The single "Acid Funk" was recently released on Dirtybird Records, and singles are regularly released on the Hardkiss Music imprint and other labels, including Do Not Sit and Taul Boy Records.

"Look Out Baby Here I Come" and "Lightning Strike" continue an ongoing collaboration with Nigerian-born vocalist and performer Bisi. Previously, Gavin and Bisi released Spirit Of Pinboi EP and other singles, including "Lovaboat," the George Floyd-inspired "Better," and the Struggle EP on Hardkiss Music.

"Psychedelic Woman" refashions a sample from the 1973 Ghanaian song by Honny & the Bees Band into a modern afro disco romp already heard in DJ sets at Lightning In A Bottle and Sunset Campout this summer.

"I Don’t Want To Fight" twists the guitars of Mbaqanga Zulu jive with a layered three-way call and response into something familiar yet different.

Murray Richardson (Electrica Salsa) – “Luv the Psychedelic Woman track, that’s a beauty!”  
Scott Ferguson / Robot84 (Paper Recordings) – “All sounding great from this Hardkiss legend.”  
Adam Warped (Whiskey Pickle) – “What a nice treat to wake to in my inbox this morning. Really digging the South African Vibes.”  
DJ Morpheus (Lysergic Factory radio show) – “Excellent tracks in here. Good to hear Gavin’s stuff again.”  
Kosta (Vibe FM) – “Stunning work, full support. Thank you for this.”  
Bruce Tantum (DJ Mag) – “Very groovy tunes, much as expected from anything Hardkiss related. Nice one!”

Out Now On Viva Recordings:

1.  Follow Me
2. Got da Flav

Minneapolis based producer and DJ Dan Laino is back on Viva Recordings for the summery "Follow Me", a fantastic follow up to his recent collaboration "I Want You" with Jason Merle and Becka on the label in recent months. A prolific producer, and no stranger to the game, he's signed tracks to labels like Phoenix Music, 4E&A, Grin Music and more.

"Follow Me" starts with deep chords, a subtle pulsating bassline and whispery vocal samples, steadily building as the track meanders along. It's almost made for the end of Summer. A perfect poolside or patio track for the summer, and a sure fire after hours track for early mornings as autumn sets in. Flip it over for "Got da Flav," which continues the airy vibes of this single. Swirling pads, subtle stabs, and a spacious groove that makes it easy to close your eyes and get lost on the dancefloor. Dive in!

Mark Mac (The Sounds Collective) – “Two great tunes for the club.”  
Rick Preston (Viva Recordings) – “Beautiful tracks!”  
Matt Prehn (Oh So Coy) – “Nice old San Fran vibe on this one.”  
Jason Merle (4E&A Records) – “Gorgeous pair of tracks here. In the bag.”  
Simon Kirk (Proton Radio) – “Deep House of the finest order!”  
DJ Firefly (Couch Dancing) – “Great Deep House with a classic feel.”

Out Now On R Side Recordings: 

1. Can't Go Back
2. Downside

DJ Samuel Lawrence returns with a double-sided single that proves his mastery of late-night dance floor dynamics. Released on his R-Side Recordings, "Can't Go Back" and "Downside" showcase the veteran producer's knack for crafting purposeful club weapons that speak to classic sensibilities.

The lead cut, "Can't Go Back," builds around a hefty kick drum foundation, layering filtered female vocals over a muscular bass pattern. Lawrence demonstrates finesse in the breakdown section, where swirling percussion elements create tension before the track's thunderous return. On the flip, "Downside" ventures into moodier territory. The track's tribal rhythmic core pulses beneath cinematic string arrangements, while a processed vocal hook adds an air of mystery. The production nods to warehouse-era aesthetics while maintaining a modern punch, particularly in its gritty low-frequency elements.

Drawing from his two decades behind the decks at events like Love Parade and Burning Man, Lawrence has distilled his understanding of the dancefloor into these two complementary cuts. The release reinforces his reputation for delivering reliable DJ ammunition that sacrifices neither creativity nor impact.

Jon Fugler (Fluke) – “Something very satisfying about both of these tracks.”  
Jason Merle (4E&A Records) – “Serious underground bizness right there.”  
Jim Stiff (Woodwork Recordings) – “Downside is my favorite. I love when the sustained pads come in and give it a light feel before the vox come in and make it extra heavy.”  
Michael Stukes (Mystic Vybes Radio Show) – “Full support for this one. 5/5.”  
Juan Moreno (Traum Schallplaten) – “Nice track, perfect for the nighttime.”  
Anthonne Shepherd (BoogieKnights) – “I'm really digging the vocal in Can't Go Back. Downside is wicked too and the punters will instantly be singing along.”
