VINYL - https://lengrecords.bandcamp.com/album/little-boxes-incl-40-thieves-version

Leng Records has long had close ties with the underground music scene in San Francisco, with low-slung dub disco and psychedelic disco outfit 40 Thieves releasing their acclaimed album The Sky Is Yours on the imprint way back in 2014. Now Leng has turned to another stalwart of the Bay Area scene, Cole Odin, on a single that’s every bit as trippy and engrossing as you’d expect from one of San Francisco’s most frequently overlooked talents.

Cole made his Leng debut earlier in the year, contributing the electro-influenced track ‘Numbers Game’ to the label’s 10th anniversary compilation. On ‘Little Boxes’, he’s joined by good friend Eddie C, a much-loved disco and house producer from Canada best known for his releases on Endless Flight and Red Motorbike. The pair recorded the track while Eddie was staying with Cole in San Francisco last year.

In keeping with the low-slung, hallucinatory sound that has always been a big feature of the San Franciscan scene, ‘Little Boxes’ is a trippy, mind-altering affair in which waves of sitar sounds, cosmic synths, effects-laden guitars and kaleidoscopic electronics rise above a weighty punk-funk bassline and crunchy, snare-heavy beats. It has serious dancefloor chops but is also atmospheric and immersive: perfect 5am music for Bay Area beach parties and mushrooms-fuelled forest raves.

Fittingly, it’s 40 Thieves who provide the accompanying remix, a 10-minute epic created with the assistance of Adonis and Rodney from the psych rock band ‘Guavatron’ for additional synths and the guitars. Beginning with tabla-style percussion, swirling chords, psychedelic guitar licks and mystical sitar sounds, the remix builds in waves, with looser drums and even weightier bass propelling the track forwards at a metronomic and hypnotic pace. By the time the eyes-closed guitar solos drop two thirds of the way through, you’ll be tripping hard and reaching for the lasers. It’s a genuinely stunning remix of a genuinely intoxicating, mind-mangling track.

PREMIERE Deepologic - Melancholic Minute (Good Mood Rmx)(Sofa Movement Records)

Having been closely involved with the Cómeme label since his debut in 2012, Colombian producer Sano now makes the jump over to Munich's Public Possession for a new EP of latin house/electro flavours entitled 'Latino Body Music Vol. 1'. We're delighted to premiere lead track 'Hasta Abajo' - which loosely translates as "drop it to the floor". Fittingly, there's a sleazy slowness at play, yet the track still seems precision engineered to move bodies from the bar to the dancefloor. The star here is that sinuous little synth line which snakes and flows like a river meander approaching the ocean. Stick it on and strut your stuff.

291out ensemble return on "Fly By Night" with another well orchestrated project by Riccio. The latest release on FBNM, 291out - Habbanera is thematically inspired by the 1982 Italian film score, "No Grazie il Caffè Mi Rende Nervoso" ie “No Thanks, Coffee Makes Me Nervous”.  It was originally composed by James Senese and directed by Lodovico Gasparini, “Habbanera” has only previously been released on Senese’s self titled LP in 1983.
This four tracker includes two new versions of the main title theme “Habbanera” and two remixes by the two Italian pioneers of house music and the balearic sound; Leo Mas and Fabrice.
291out “Original Version” is a cover of the main score theme, which also features on Senese’s 1983 LP ; the “Alternate Version” is also taken from the movie, but from a different scene, which has the same melody of the opening theme but with a different rhythm, never having been released before and completely reassembled by 291out. Leo Mas & Fabrice provide two different cuts, one pitched-down boogie slow jam and one 4/4 dance-floor banger.

PREMIERE : 291out - Habbanera (Leo Mas & Fabrice Remix)

Nick Smith breaks cover from the sanctuary of his Clandestino guise and makes a long-over due, yet welcome return to his solo project as he delivers a humid, intoxicating EP for Phil Cooper's NuNorthern Soul outfit. 'Waves Take Hold' consists of three atmospheric recordings that richly mine influences from early Nineties utopian Iberian dance-floors to far away exotic islands. Here we spotlight the breezy 'Palm Cove'; languid hand drums marry with gentle marimbas as Nick's love of New Age motifs come to the fore. Delicate strings sit in the background while subtle field recordings add to the genteel atmosphere, perfectly capturing the ambiance. A summer highlight for sure.
