This Is The Place

John Merrick

01 John Merrick

Since launching in 2020, Claremont 56’s Claremont Editions series of compilations has delivered a trio of must-check collections featuring a mixture of unheard gems from the label vaults and brand-new, previously unreleased tracks. Label founder Paul ‘Mudd’ Murphy continues with this blueprint on 2024’s instalment, the fourth in total.

There's naturally some genuinely headline grabbing highlights amongst the nine tracks on display, starting with opener ‘Crossing’ – a fresh cut from C56’s in-house super-group Hillside (AKA Paul Mudd Murphy, Alex Searle and Patrick Dawes), featuring lead vocals from long-time friend of the family Quinn Lamont Luke. The track is prime Hillside: all rolling hand percussion, warming keys, simmering synth-strings, sun-splashed solos and blue-eyed soul vocals from the effervescent Quinn.

It sets a high bar, quality wise, but predictably the rest of the collection hits similarly heady heights. Mudd contributes two other tracks of note: a first collaborative outing with long-time creative partner Ben Smith for five years, Smith & Mudd’s ‘Journey Seven’ – a languid, slow-motion affair that hints at what we can expect from their forthcoming album – and a typically rich, jazz-fusion influenced solo excursion, ‘Massimo’s Steps’. As vivid, emotive and detailed as you’d expect, the track explores similar sonic territory to Mudd’s recent album, In The Garden of Mindfulness.

It's usual for Claremont Editions collections to include tracks from new members of the Claremont family. Editions 4 is no different, with Danish producer Fureby – a close friend of fellow Danes Mike Salta and Peter Visti – joining forces with Guy Moscoco and Brian Faber on ‘Halcyon (Extended Mix)’, a gorgeously kaleidoscopic Balearic groover rich in fluttering flute solos, simmering disco strings and sun-bright electronics.

Elsewhere, a few familiar favourites contribute suitably stellar tracks. Mai Fujinoya dons the Yamp Kolta alias for the first time since appearing on the first editions compilation in 2020, serving up the languid Japanese language Balearic pop brilliance of ‘Saturate’, featuring beautiful lead vocals by Yuzz. Krautrock-influenced duo Neumayer Station – who made their C56 bow on last year’s Editions collection – lay down a typically stretched-out, dubbed-out groove with Spaghetti Western soundtrack flourishes (the lilting and atmospheric ‘Bassrutscher’), while Ferdi Schuster invites us to dive into the immersive depths of ‘Resonance’ – a lightly art rock and progressive rock-influenced soundscape best enjoyed while lying flat on your back.

Slow-motion house specialists Hear & Now continue to join the dots between tactile Balearica and pitched-down Italian ambient house on the stunningly gorgeous ‘Chimaera’, while there’s a surprise return for a Claremont 56 favourite: Mudd’s sought-after extended mix of Bel’s 2018 single ‘Ready To Die’, a sing-along modern Balearic classic. This time round, it has been re-edited by Blank & Jones, who teases out the sun-soaked instrumentation before finally dropping the original’s emotion-rich lead vocals.

It all adds up to another must-check instalment of the indispensable Claremont Editions series. As usual, the vinyl version has been pressed in limited qualities and comes housed in a deluxe gatefold sleeve, complete with another stunning cover painting by illustrator Mark Warrington.

Hear & Now - Chimaera

Presenting Neal Caffrey - White Collar - Tree J Rx

🎛️ A deep and hypnotic rework inspired by a previous track I produced a few years ago as a tribute to my friend and his partner, whose relationship was no longer working. I remade this rework because although my friend Adel is no longer with us, I know he can hear it from above and that his ex-partner, Marion, has made tremendous progress in her life.

Don't Cry

As the summer ends and the balmy evenings become a distant memory Jansen Jardin provides a chance to reminisce with the sedated, jazzed out keys of a mysterious Portuguese producer named, Someone. 

‘Beat’ is a superbly crafted and beautifully played combination of Rhodes piano, languid electronics and sparse percussion that brings to mind the work of Metro Area, had they been perilously addicted to Qualudes. In these times of cut ‘n’ paste mixes of re-edits of remixes of edits, it’s wonderful to hear an original piece of music, full of melody, musicianship and riding such a wonderfully simple yet deliberate groove. 

The first remix comes from the enigmatic Texan producer, Vermin, who turned in an excellent mix last year of Rhythm Odyssey’s ‘Move Groove’ on the Lipservice label. Vermin transforms the original track into a seriously wonky, lolloping house groove aimed squarely at dance floors that like it raw and loose! The man given the job of rounding up this truly excellent package is the original master, the Big Bear himself, Stevie Kotey. Stevie has been the mastermind behind so many great tracks over the years and yet again he comes through with a sublime slice of disco action. Keeping the musicality of the original track he pushes the tempo a little higher and delivers a gorgeous, jazzy, dubbed out late night rendition with that ever present Kotey swing.



Beat ( Original )

So much negative, backwards, incorrect shit going on around the world & close to home lately.  So when I stumbled across this African jam and it instantly lifted my spirits I knew I wanted to share...... How can you listen to it and not be happy? Anyway a happy gift from me to you. 

Nothing crazy done, some extensions, added kick drum , some percussion, EQ, and FX to make it more dance positive.

Stay happy, kind, & generous X

Fila Brazillia - A Zed & 2 L's (Coldcut Retouch)

Pre-Order here: https://SonarKollektiv.lnk.to/SonarKollektingVol2
Format: digital ; Release: 02.06.2017

“Sonar Kollekting Vol. 1”, releases in 2013, was actually the first true, official showcase of the by now over two decades operating Berlin label. Four years later we already get the chance to get once more a 360-degree view of Sonar Kollektiv's creative work. Four years during which quite a lot has happened apparently. No more than two artists of all the present collaborators on Vol.2 have been already featured on the first edition of “Sonar Kollekting”: Pete Josef and Stee Downes. “Sonar Kollekting Vol. 2” opens up an appetizing prospect on the label's near future when it comes to current and forthcoming releases. 
Just out, for example, is the marvellous electronics-folky album “Wiped Out” by Mooryc, off which the profound song “One Day” is featured here. A bit buoyant is the remix done by Erobique for Marlow's Backroom (on which you can hear Pete Josef). Next to other releases of the past months (The Black 80s, Mius und Tim Aminov), the listener is treated with ten exclusive tracks on this impressive collection. Talents like Dürerstuben already aroused attention with releases on Mutual Musik, Pampa Records und Luettje Luise and now make a lot of noise via Sonar Kollektiv. “Will E. & Gynt Her” implies a splendid feature of the twosome and the label. Together with London based singer Mark Borgazzi, Jad & The (formerly known as Jad & The Ladyboy) also contributes a song thus far unreleased (“Underwater”) to the 15 tracks strong compilation. From Harry Miller aka Glow In The Dark we get “Dark Stars”, a song not to be found on his just released debut “Future Bliss”. There is additional exclusive material in the form of the Nikitch remix of ComixXx' “Can U Feel?”, a subtle remix by ComixXx and Alex Barck for Matthew Halsall & The Gondwana Orchestra's “Into Forever”, a remix by Envee for Pete Josef's “The Travelling Song” (off his 2015 album “Colour”) and new tracks by Dutchman Geurt Kersjes aka Pitto (“Being”), the Italian Hip-hop production combo The Mixtapers (“Take Me Away”) and as well as ComixXx (“Synthesizer Journey”).

Isaac Birituro & The Rail Abandon •  Yesu Yan Yan (Village Cuts Remix) 
Kalba Remixed EP 

Having released the album Kalba to huge critical acclaim, Wah Wah 45s are now ready to unleash the next stage of this unique cross-continental project, fronted by Ghanain xylophonist Isaac Birituro and Leeds based sing-songwriter and Grammy nominated producer Sonny Johns, AKA The Rail Abandon. Their debut album caused something of a stir this year, with Gilles Peterson, Cerys Matthews and many more showing it the love it deserves. Even though the album has plenty of club friendly moments, the label decided to let some of their favourite producers give you their own interpretations of this landmark album for Wah Wah 45s.
So up stepped rising stars of the tropical scene, Village Cuts, to deliver a typically uptempo and life - affirming re-work of Yesu Yan Yan; the erstwhile Innocent Sorcerer from Poland, Envee, to give the same cut a more Afro-disco feel; Hong Kong bass worriers Blood Wine or Honey to rework So Ma into a monstrous dance floor destroyer; and Singapore based Kaye from the mighty Darker Than Wax with his clever re-rub of Nye Fo Chen that’ll put you in a proper jazz dance trance

[PREMIERE] Isaac Birituro & The Rail Abandon •  Yesu Yan Yan (Village Cuts Remix)

Club Internacional dig deep to launch their new global reissue series in style with two long lost cuts from Rio-based label Top Tape. 

Sambacanas, or Os Sambacanas as they were sometimes also known, were a group of Samba musicians recorded by the Sao Paulo based producer Julio Nagib. Although they were mostly known for a samba covers LP entitled ‘Sucessos Da Juventude Em Tempo De Samba’ (re-released in the UK under the title ‘Fly Me To Brazil’), this song, Panga, Danga, Panga, was the A side of their only 45 single release for Top Tape which came out in 1976. 

This track has never been re-released before in its 45 single version, and has not been made available digitally. A beautiful example of raw and simple Batucada-style Brasilian samba music infused with Latin funk vibes, it features excellent vocals and percussion including the berimbau and cuica.

Club Internacional hopes you enjoy this journey back to rediscover these very different, but wonderful, long lost sounds of Brasil on this limited edition vinyl 45 pressing to add to your record collection. 

Each Club Internacional edition may take some time, but it will be worth the wait! 

Good music never dies.
