Jona Jefferies' latest EP released by Spanish house specialists Apersonal Music. It's a refreshing nod to the golden era of 90s electronic music. Across its three tracks, Jefferies masterfully blends elements of ambient, downtempo, and electronica, evoking a sense of nostalgia as if plucked from a bygone era.

Jona Jefferies - Lost In Paradise (Eddie C Remix)

Premiere: Frankman vs Alex V - Aura (Original Mix)

Founded in 2019, Citizens Of Vice is a sub-label of the tougher big brother Night Noise Music. Focusing in bringing to life delicious House and Nu Disco gems, the French outlet has fast conquered the hearts and minds of the Summer-infused cuts lovers out there. For the forthcoming addition to its impeccable catalogue, Citizens welcomes back the respected Den Haag-based artists Offshore and Coen, whose previous well-received works were issued on Phat Elephant, Lazy Days, Kolour, Milk & Sugar, Atjazz Record Company, and Freerange, just to name a few.

Their next EP, "Hold On", along with regular collaborator Paya, is simply a delight! We fell particularly in love with "Deep Inside", hence the decision of premiering it. The theme endorses the competence of the Dutch duo and is destined to become a huge success even during the cold European winter – enjoying it at a pool party in Côte d'Azur will have to wait a little bit. Melodic, groovy, beautiful... the list of adjectives can be easily increased, but we believe you already got the gist.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Juno Download page of the label: https://www.junodownload.com/labels/Citizens+Of+Vice/

Follow @offshoreandcoen and @citizensofvice, peeps!

Lex - Without You [Delusions Of Grandeur]

LENG SHOP - https://lexathens.bandcamp.com/album/remixes-faze-action-ruf-dug

Alex Andrikopolous AKA Lex (Athens) released his brilliant debut album Waving in 2022 on Leng and he now returns with an EP combining fine remixes of tracks from Waving alongside two new previously unheard cuts.

The remixes are undeniably special. Fittingly, the EP begins with the first of these, a sensationally sun-soaked revision of one of Andrikopolous’s most Balearic moments – previous single ‘Punta Allen’ – by former Nuphonic fusionists and FAR label founders Faze Action. The Lee brothers’ take is one of those sunset-friendly workouts that wraps glistening guitar licks, steel pan style motifs, Lex’s gorgeous lead lines, hazy electric piano solos and life-affirming keyboard riffs around rolling nu-disco beats and a new rubbery bassline courtesy of Robin Lee himself. It has the feel of a pool-side anthem in the making.

Just as potent is the typically quirky and hard-to-pigeonhole revision of ‘Prezend’ by Manchester maverick Ruf Dug. Here he offers up a genuinely revolutionary rework, re-imaging the track as a sparse-but-colourful fusion of vintage acid house bass, saucer-eyed piano riffs, dubbed-out synth sounds, jacking lo-fi drum machine beats and squelchy TB-303 tweaks. While fresh and undeniably contemporary, the remix has an alluringly nostalgic, retro-futurist vibe. 

Clustered around these two top-notch revisions is a pair of previously unreleased Lex originals. He joins forces with regular collaborator Locke once more on ‘Libre De Amor’, an infectious chunk of, low-slung dub disco marked out by weighty bass, jammed-out electric piano motifs, spacey pads, intergalactic effects and mazy synth solos. Dotted with additional percussion hits and echoing female vocal snippets, it’s one of the pair’s most potent dancefloor workouts of recent times.

To round off a rock-solid EP, the Athens-based veteran blurs the boundaries between stripped-back, late-80s house nostalgia and nu-disco. ‘Super Awake’ boasts cowbell-sporting Chicago house beats and acid house inspired bass, on to which he’s layered all manner of colourful synth sounds, jangly piano stabs and spacey electronics. Throw in some typically immersive chords and progressively more psychedelic TB-303 motifs, and you have a genuinely triumphant conclusion to a formidably floor-focused EP.
