Francis Rimbert - Ballade à Gémenos (Chateau Marmont Remix)

MULTI CULTI remix resurrection of buried Swiss-Afro diamond - features impressive mixes from Kalabrese, Mickey Moonlight, the Multi Culti production gurus and Crowdpleaser himself. 

Geneva-based producer and journeyman DJ Crowdpleaser's 2011 self-titled album contained a brilliant anomaly in NENEKRI, featuring a unique vocal performance from Burkina Faso native Wamian Kaïd. It received glowing feedback from some top-calibre DJs (Joakim, MANDY, Duke Dumont, Paul Woolford, Brodinski etc), particularly for the excellent jerk-acid remix by sonic psychonaut Mickey Moonlight, but possibly due to Turbo's affiliation with harder-edged sounds, some of the highlights stayed well under the radar. Fortunately, this re-rubbed release sees the music more relevant than ever, in the midst of the multi-culti dance explosion brought on by the likes of Daphni / Four Tet / Awesome Tapes From Africa / Romare / Auntie Flo / Acid Arab / Comeme etc. 

In A-side 45rpm position, the Crowdpleaser Dub finally gets the 12" space it always deserve. This is the kind of record you would hope to hear ignite the early hours of an epic Innervisions party or Soul Clap Burning Man jam. This lost classic gets served up alongside the terrific Mickey Moonlight and a host of impressive new mixes….

Kalabrese's remix was also a bit lost in the mayhem and now gets a fresh DJ-friendly edit that hones in on the funk and flirts with the acid whilst stripping things down for the dance floor. Finally, label-heads Angelo Cruzman and Thomas Von Party bring an ecstatic early morning version, pushing the package deeper and darker, layering percussion and sun-rise pads that cushion the feeling of the end of the night, rounding out an essential multi-national, multi-lingual, multi-dimensional package. 

Released on 12" January 27 and digital 3rd February, 2014

Crowdpleaser - Nenekri (Dub Version)

Cosmin TRG's "Echolab Disaster" is one of eight exclusive tracks that appear on Brandt Brauer Frick's DJ-Kicks mix. The track was pressed onto custom dubplate vinyl in order to be included on the mix, which was recorded live during a day session at Berlin's famed Watergate club. Daniel Brandt elaborates: "I met Cosmin through the Red Bull Music Academy, and we have been talking about various collaborative projects ever since. I was always into his rough sound and he's a great DJ. That's why we asked him to do a track for the Kicks, and the track he delivered was a perfect tune to have in the harder section of the mix. It also is the perfect follow up for the Bok Bok & Tom Trago track before it, to level up the energy even more, and mixes very well with the MMM track afterwards."

Montreal’s Black Atlass is a voice you can't forget, charting new territory somewhere in-
between modern R&B, experimental electronic production, and classic singer/songwriter confessionals.

His debut single "Paris" was praised by music obsessives ("soulful, electronic-tinged tracks that tug at the heartstrings" - Stereogum), and high-end fashionistas alike, earning praise in Vogue and scoring Louis Vuitton ads while garnering the personal attention of everyone from Woodkid (who enlisted Black Atlass to open dates on his European tour) to Dior Homme (who invited BA to their Paris Fashion Week presentations and styled him for the front row). 

Beyond these blog props and style bonafides, however, there's substance in his music that sets Black Atlass apart from his contemporaries. It pulses all throughout the new Young Bloods EP, six tracks that more than live up to their title with knotty chords, unexpectedly muscular beats, and the ethereal vocals that tie it all together. From “Blossom’s” handclap funk and the D'Angelo worthy boom bap of "Free Angel" to the primal howl of distorted closer "Jewels," Young Bloods is the latest chapter in the story of a raw and electrifying new talent.

The Law Of Return

"Needwant are now proud to unveil the long sought after new and original sounds of Casino Times. ‘I Wanna Know’ starts off the package full of rich anthemic soaring synths and beautiful piano keys that build a layered and epic track. 'Trust' is a stripped skippy beat fused with subtle percussion that keeps building and building towards yet more feel good vibes. Next up comes 'Back To The Night', a deep and melodic track with old school soulful elements in all the right places. Dave DK heads for the depths in his remix of 'I Wanna Know' with driving and hypnotic bass under those epic piano keys. As a producer / DJ famed for his sets at Berlin’s infamous Panorama Bar this 5am type remix rounds off another superb and on point release from Needwant."
