Josh Wink - Used To Be

This year marks 15 years since I started my service in the online underground. Time flies when you are having fun right?! I remember when I (as non dj) heard something on the radio back then, that was just it. Nobody put that on soundcloud or youtube for you to listen to again. I was telling myself there must be more people that want to listen to some tracks over and over again. That's how it all started. Ripping tracks from radio shows, uploading some cool tracks that were hot in that time period (remember post-dubstep & future garage?),there were even a few people sending me their music to upload! The moment I started doing the video edits was life changing. Not only for me but for all the people we (music youtubers) made hot in the era of lo-fi house. Happy to see some of them rockin big stages today!

Since then, this has been my everyday, 24/7/365! Paid my dues & made the sacrifices. Was it worth it? Damn right! Though I have to admit that I never intended to start djing myself. I was forced to by the community! I am happy I sold my bike so I can buy speakers and started.

Music took me around the world. With music I met a bunch of amazing people who did not hesitate to spend their money and time just to meet the guy they know from youtube. For this I will forever be grateful!

Like 5 years ago, also this time I have a mix for you! I just wanted to put together a mix full of my all time favorite jams. The result is an almost six hour journey through different genres & styles. I also wanted to include music made by people I have some history with. Baltra, Bambounou, Fjaak, Route 8 or Kettama, to name a few (and a whole lotta more!). Expect a lot of hits! Slow jams, House, Techno, UK sound and more.

Thanks for believing in me, it truly means everything!

Release Info:
We are super excited to present you another new artist that is joining the Dirt Crew family in this anniversary year where the label turns 20!. Since our start in 2004 we have always strived to release new talent and kickstart their career and with Los Latidos we have some real rough, original and deep, soulful tracks for you, topping all off with a first class remix from our last label signing J. Peacock from London.

Los Latidos aka Rafael Cohen was born in Mexico City and currently lives in New York where he plays and tours with the Warp Records dance punk band !!! (chk chk chk). His music career has gone from releasing records on the legendary DC punk label Dischord Records, to recording with jazz great Anthony Braxton. His work as Los Latidos focuses strictly on the dance floor and this - his third EP and debut for Dirt Crew Recordings - continues what Resident Advisor called “a feast of acid squelches, breakbeats and house kicks” over four new tracks of psychedelic, soulful, Detroit influenced house music.

Enjoy these 5 crackers of tracks and play them out Loud. Proper Dance Floor goodness!

GRVNC09 - Roy Vision - Cold Sea Euphoria (Incl. Tatie Dee Remix)

Artwork : Jegayo 
Mastering : MB mastering Paris 


Release on March 29th on Groovence Discs 

Roy Vision, your "favorite’s favorite DJ’’ has been steadily rising over the past two years. He, whom critic Louise Chen regards as "one the best French producer of the moment" strikes again with a well-crafted four-track EP, a small ode to house music filled with the percussive and dreamy touch he's known for.

After quality releases on Visions Recordings, Top Pocket, and his own label Demo Test, Lucas has likely found the opportunity to carve out a space around his Roy Vision project (The guy also heads one of the most interesting projects in terms of analogic live right now as Nouveau Monica. An explosive IDM concentrate with UK GARAGE aspirations,  has just unveiled his new live act at Astropolis summer festival in 2023 and played alongside Mr. Laurent Garnier recently, quite a feat).
A maestria of syncopated rhythms and probably a pioneer of the synergy between deep house and garage house, always with that almost organic treatment of drums and his special attention to sampling.

He first offers "Cold Sea Euphoria," an intoxicating Leftfield House/Electro ballad of 7 minutes and 50 seconds, where the work on the drums and the particular attention to the treatment of textures and the development of tension around the track is kindly reminiscent of a certain Pépé Bradock.

We come out of this listen groggy, and all the skipping textures at the end of the track throw us into the second track "Dark Dance". The original track is an instrumental with a strong melancholic feel, a haunting pad bouncing on a bass with '90s accents for a mental and progressive track still in an assumed deep aesthetic. 

The third track is a cleverly orchestrated remix by the brilliant Tatie Dee filled with Rhodes-House aesthetic, warm bass and a fairly primal house that is definitely infused with the producer's trademark we love.

"The Morning After" closes the project with a whole other energy. Probably the most club-oriented track on the EP, flirting with acid house where the bassline drives more minimalist arrangements and textures. 

This EP is thus a concentrate of all this "RV’s Secret Sauce" in the service of clubs and for the greatest pleasure of our informed ears. A four-track that probably pays homage to the genre's pioneers as much as it brings that je ne sais quoi of freshness and novelty we've come to expect over his course.

GRVNC09 - Roy Vision - Cold Sea Euphoria (Incl. Tatie Dee Remix)

Ah, Byron, Byron, Byron—what can we say? We're absolutely enamoured with this guy's music. And, we couldn't be more thrilled to welcome him into our family on Low Recordings.

We are back with our second vinyl release, featuring Byron's "Love 4 Music." This 4-track EP is a celebration of love, with Side A and Side B showcasing two distinct styles where Byron truly shines. Side A delivers the club hits, while Side B envelops us in a soulful/R&B/deep house vibe.

Kicking off Side A is "Creepin' With U." The track begins with haunting chords that exude an eerie and raw vibe, swiftly leading into a thumping, club-certified kick drum. As the song progresses, a hint of nostalgia from the lo-fi days creeps in, complemented by vocal samples that add to the eerie atmosphere. Yes, it's eerie, but it's also robust and captivating—perfect for enticing bodies to move on a warehouse dance floor.

Next up is "Work That Girl (Tribal Mix)," the heavyweight of the four, tailor-made for the club/warehouse scene. The track starts with the clicking and clacking of hats and snares, Byron's vocals weaving in and out of the mix. The lyrics are crafted for a sweaty night of dancing, and as the kicks thump in, the energy rises. Byron's trademark chords seamlessly ooze into the mix, uniting our bodies with the song. Acid-sounding notes eventually lead us in and out of the groove—a solid club anthem.

Flipping over to Side B, we're greeted by "Inner Visions," where Byron slows things down and takes us in a different direction. A classic synth line initiates the track with a smooth kick, creating an airy vibe that melds perfectly with its melody. As the song grooves, Byron's soulful vocals pierce through, infusing warmth into his words. The warmth persists as the song progresses, with his voice echoing slightly more dissonance, leaving us with a proper vision for the closing track.

Closing out the EP, Byron guides us with a vision for a fun night in "Make Me Feel." Deep with a touch of R&B, the song exudes warmth and is all about feeling good with the person who got you through the night. Byron's sultry voice sits perfectly on the track as the basslines guide us through. His playful nature keeps things light and fun, rounding off the EP on a high note.

PREMIERE: Byron The Aquarius - Inner Visions [Low Recordings]

7inch out May 13th: https://www.juno.co.uk/products/gratts-mr-beale-submerge-me-feat-gilbr-remix-vinyl/991721-01/

‘Submerge Me’ brings Belgian dj/producer Gratts and London based vocalist Mr. Beale back together (after the much acclaimed release ‘Sun Circles’ last year). This time, the pair deliver a captivating and brooding sub-aquatic single, with Beale’s mesmerising mantras and mermaid-like musings pulling you straight into the raw percussive groove. On the flipside, Versatile Records’ very own Gilb’r pulls all of the elements even deeper under the surface, turning it into an intriguing, liquid dub excursion.

Written and produced by Tristan Jong.
Vocals written and performed by Ellie Beale.
Percussion by Frederik Kuhn.
Mixed by Ed Longo.
Remix and additional production by Gilbert Cohen.
Mastering by Spectrum Mastering.

The vision? To cultivate a virtuous movement of sublime tunes, echoing the fervor and zeal to persist within the realm of quality that Flexi embodies within the Italian scene, alongside kindred spirits... despite the daunting challenges of the market in recent years.
