"I produced every track on this EP under the influence of some type of psychedelic, mostly LSD. They are long, linear tracks that were composed after weekends of head down dancing in dark clubs, meant to induce the type of trance that comes from repetition and a certain kind of moodiness. They also have a bit of old school House flavor to them, with the looping of mangled 1 bar Disco samples. Per usual with these kinds of tracks, they were in my DJ sets for a couple of years as I fine-tuned them, and I end up getting very attached to them, particularly when other DJ's start asking about them, and then I get to a point where I actually don't want them released! But when Man Power asked if he could release them on Me Me Me, I immediately agreed, as I knew they would be given a sort of care and support that would make me happy to have them released into the world, as opposed to feeling they would just be released into a black hole."​ - @the-juan-maclean

Juan MacLean is a Brooklyn based DJ and producer who has been a defining fixture of the New York and international music scene since his first records on DFA Records in 2002. Juan has produced an extensive catalogue of 12's and LP's, mainly for the record label established by his old friend James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem, DFA Records. 

Following a collaboration between Juan and Man Power under their Juan Power moniker on Life & Death back in 2019, Juan now links up with the UK imprint for a five-track release featuring a remix from Berlin-based Twirl and Fantasy Life boss Alinka.

The 'I Can't Explain' EP showcases Juan's productions' upbeat vibrancy as the funk-infused energy combines with the spirited synths and spacey elements, which includes a bubbling remix from Alinka.

Label:  Lazy Days Recordings (https://soundcloud.com/fredeverything)

For the first release of 2022, we have another newcomer to the Lazy Days family.
Beau Zwart, is a young talented producer from Rotterdam. Classically trained from an early age, he discovered Jazz and Electronic Music in his teenage years and started to incorporate his new influences in his compositions and in performances and DJ sets.
He graduated bachelor in Music & Technology at the HKU University of the Arts Utrecht in 2019 and released music on labels such as Midnight Riot, Boogie Cafe and Fluid Funk. He’s also a succesful film composer. He scored the music for “Independent Boy” (IDFA, 2017), “Vieze Film” (VPRO, 2017), “Alone Together” (IDFA, 2018), FENIKS (NFF Wildcard, 2019) and his latest feature length score for “Drama Girl” (Tiger Competition, IFFR, 2020) which was released in 2020 on his own record label: Narrative Identity. The score was nominated for the Buma Music in Motion award in the category Best Original Feature Length Score.

On his debut EP on Lazy Days, Beau shows his ability to play with different styles that inspire him. From the Broken Jazzy vibe on Rusty Lewis, through the slower and emotionally driven Safe Shave & Bambino Breaks to the Electro tinged No exit, we are clearly in presence of of burgeoning talent.

For the remix on the title track, we once again asked one of our favorite artist on the label and friend, Art Of Tones. Fresh from a very prolific and succesful year and landing at #3 in the Traxsource Nu Disco Best Artists of 2021 and remixing everybody under the sun and launching his own imprint PALP, Art Of Tones turns Rusty Lewis into an euphoric uptempo Jazz Funk bizness the way only he can do. It screams “party” from the first synth line!

Olivetti Dreams (Prins Thomas Edit)

Based in Montreal, Canada, French DJ and producer Anatohl kicks off the 2022 season of the German label Dance Petrol Records with his new EP “Low Profile”. The young Canadian artist has been building throughout the years a musical universe that is both energetic and ethereal, delivering a sparkling Deep House sonority influenced by the 90s, oscillating between powerful grooves and vaporous layers. Showcasing proper production skills on his debut on DPR, he distils his many influences into three masterfully crafted House cuts fuelled with organic drums, cheeky vocal chops, and rough acid lines.

The track we chose to premiere, “Illegal Fruits”, brings Anatohl flirting with Afro percussive elements and combining them with melodic piano riffs and a groovy bassline plus the aforementioned organic drums, cheeky vocal chops, and rough acid lines, resulting in an atmospheric and passionate House Music piece. If you are into such kind of genre, do yourself a favour and add both the label and the artist to your watch list. 

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Beatport page of the label: https://www.beatport.com/label/dance-petrol-records/88164

PREMIERE303 // Anatohl - Illegal Fruits

Those tasty Glasgow types Manakinz (Sub Club legend Harri and Max Raskin) are back with their third EP for Monologues, filled with another three beguiling, heavyweight, innovative belters.'Electric Bob' kicks off with the dreamiest of chords and heady vocal delays floating over a chugging groove, before 'Lovely Lugz' takes things in a moodier direction with Hamish Hay's infectious afrobeat-flavoured guitar licks, tribal percussive rhythms and a stomping bass groove. 'Nifty McPherson' rounds the EP off in tripped-out style, with hypnotic FX and bugged-out synths bringing a psychedelic edge to this varied EP.

PREMIERE : Manakinz feat. Hamish Hay - Lovely Lugz

For our ninth offering we are delighted to welcome Lisbon based artist Larry Quest to the label. Larry is an astute producer adaptable to varying styles, strong in musicality and a particular flair for soulful, jazzy touches and classy deep house music. For the ‘Mystery Herd’ release we are treated to an EP richly inspired by the natural world and the colors within. Venus Girdle enjoys ethereal pads, a strong but distant kick and swelling percussion. Asian butterfly Alpine Black Swallowtail informs the next track, with its mountainous field-recording, gentle arpeggios and harmony of pads. Haliotis reverb swelling pads represent the waves, the synths and percussion, the spume and the bass groove embodying the sea. Nicobarica is a cool organic track with beautifully played keys, live guitar licks and a breezy rhythm section complete with rolling percussion all combining making for an infectious groove. Completing the EP is a spaced out, ambient take of Venus Girdle by Joe Morris!
