My remix of The Human League's - "The Things That Dreams Are Made Of" for fresh label Control Room Recordings. Available as 12" vinyl and digital.

Press blurb: Here at Control Room we have a very simple but specific remit for our artists. ANALOGUE ONLY! So, here we present the excellent Human League classic 'The Things That Dreams Are Made Of' in it's 'Original Dub Edit' an analogue classic if ever there was one, backed with a splendid Sare Havlicek remix, utilising his lovely array of synths and outboard gear to create a modern Nu Disco take on this slice of Electronic Pop history.

The Things That Dreams Are Made Of (Sare Havlicek LM1 Extended Dub)

Extending The Bridge 

A slight edit of The Bridge by Giorgio Moroder.

I don't usually put Kalidasa edits up, but thought I would share the love of this great tune by GM.

The Bridge (Kalidasa edit)

We knew of Kiwi as a DJ through the Durrr parties, but were properly introduced to his music when Daniel Avery sent it to us and immediately fell in love with it.

South London based Kiwi (Alex Warren) has pulled all the stops out over the last 6 months. With releases lined up on Kitsuné, Needwant and Deep Shit as well as on our humble outfit. As a resident at the Nest in Dalston he has extended his monthly headline slot to sprawling four-hour Dj sets and this summer see’s Kiwi hitting various places across Europe, including his first appearance in Ibiza and a number of festival appearances including the Bugged Out Stage at Field Day and Stop Making Sense festival.

Kiwi has managed to create a real unique sound and vibe by mixing ingredients of all the genre he loves, from disco, funk and techno.

EP opener, "Guanako Haka", is a monster of slow mo techno, hypnotic and subtly building up over 6 minutes with whispered vocals and electro sequences interlaced over a seriously solid groove.

"Bengal" starts like a Kraftwerk record circa Autobahn period, with motorik synth cycling endlessly. A 80's synth pad and some 90's house piano stab finish to confuse you: " but when was this record made?"
The movement within the track, and evolution of each synth line keep you on the edge when finally some Rhodes chords and dreamy patterns enrich this epic, yet intimate piece of cosmic electronica.

Back to to the dance floor with last track on the EP . "Chiroptera", with its very strong house vibe and old school drum rolls cascading over a deep bass, reminds us of It's a Fine Line at their finest, both playful and retro.
Synths and drums play question / answer games and a strange dreamy melody escaped from a 80's sci-fi movie crossed the track all the way through. Kiwi even managed to stick in a breakdown that flirts with deep house.

And that's the beauty of that EP. So many references, so many genre quoted over three tracks without falling into cliché or vulgarisation.
Kiwi that can showcase a real love of dance music in all its ramifications.
This is a modern record that knows where it comes from, is conscious of its roots but manages to stay relevant while nodding at everything that inspired it and made it what it is.

Gatto Fritto - Hex

Second hot release of our new Macadam Mambo Trax series, introducing the Leed’s combo JOE’S BAKERY BAND with a monster Balearic EP!!!
Beautiful, epic and sexual, “Blue Tuesday” could be the OST of 80’s classic Miami Vice TV, feeling the sunset vibe, driving a white Lamborgini Countach on the sea front!
“Turkish Delight” is an amazing mixture of Italo/Rock/Arabian dance music, partying in the THOUSAND AND ONE NIGHTS…
The remix of Blue Tuesday by Mzkbx is a Trax-like anthem with a strong acid bassline and TR707 rhythm.
Be sure that listening to this will increase your body temperature.

The 40 Thieves turn up in Leng’s back garden for a bit of late night skullduggery. Kicking off with 'Backward Love', a deep wobble of dub guitars, weird out FX, large 80's synth lines and lovely throbbing bass, more than enough to get people freaky. 

As expected, a meaty joint of late night disco, for the murkier end of the dance-floor. We hear an album is on it's way and if it matches the quality of this release then we've got a veritable treat on it's way.

After a critically acclaimed LP on I'm A Cliché in 2014 and a string of quality EPs, edits and remixes left right and center, The Red Axes are back on Cosmo Vitelli's imprint. This is the first entry in Red Axe's Shem series on I'm a Cliché which will see the Israeli duo releasing tracks geared towards the dancefloor but always retaining the one-of-a-kind approach that it distills in all its productions.

Junto Club are four men from Glasgow who have remained friends since they were teenagers through creating music they love. Whilst learning new instruments during a long winter, their sound was fashioned unexpectedly with sporadic melodies overlaid on taut drum machines, synthesizers and bass guitar. Many humble dance moves followed as the band began to carouse behind closed doors with their newly-found rhythm.

This is the first track from our upcoming EP, recorded in the near-legendary Green Door studio, will be released on Optimo Music on June 15. Four tracks of highly original, impossible to pigeonhole, dancefloor-not-dancefloor music.

JUNTO CLUB - Leaving Forever (Optimo Music)

Welcome to Nude Disco Selections Vol 2; a compilation of tracks by residents, peers & friends of the Brixton based Nude Disco club night. Each of the fourteen previously unreleased tracks span genres of Nu-Disco & Italo, through to Synthwave & Indie Dance. 
The contributing artists were chosen for their aptitude at fusing synth saturated electronic disco with wicked dance floor chemistry, taking their musical cues from the Italo Disco’s of late 80’s Eu- rope, to the night clubs of early 90’s New York. Add to this smatterings of french touch & synth wave make Nude Disco Selections Vol 2 the perfect snapshot of what makes the soundscape of a Nude Disco night.
Stay tuned for future single releases taken from the album, starting with Auxiliary Tha Masterfader’s ‘Disco Machine’ which features remixes from Riptide, Aimes, Copycat among many others.
This is a lo rez preview. Follow download link for high quality downloads.

Following on from a series of hugely popular 12" remixes of Bryan Ferry tracks in 2011 comes an exclusive Roxy Music remix 12" vinyl. 

Featuring an absolutely essential, epic remix by man-of-the-moment Todd Terje, whose edit of Roxy's "Love Is The Drug" gives the evergreen club classic a contemporary twist and is a must-have for anyone who snapped up his remix of Bryan Ferry's "Alphaville". 

On the flipside is a psychedelic, hypnotic, Balearic-style reworking of Roxy's "Avalon", by Norwegian dub-disco doyens Lindstrom and Prins Thomas.
