“Coup de Foudre” is a French idiom referring to love at first sight. With 'Day Dream' they created a Detroit-inspired emotive house music hymn, depicting a dreamy feeling of "in-between realities".

CDF are the DJ/ producers Alex Coly and Chuck Black, an Amsterdam based French duo who share the same philosophy about music. Their style ranges from house and deep-house to electronic, African percussions and beats with a techno twist.

Alex Coly and Chuck Black individually started their musical journey in 2017 building up their act and technical skills following their encounter with the amazing, multi talented Amsterdam music scene. The two young men have since then kept on fanning their own flames throughout Europe and the United States all the while developing their joint brand, always aiming to give their audience a soulful and memorable moment.

A compilation that resonates with the spirit of its environment. Crafted as a snapshot of the LOCH INN series hosted at De School, V/A LOCH INN at De School encapsulates the diverse talent that contributed to the collective exchange during these events at Het Muzieklokaal.

At the core of LOCH INN is a dedication to the local music scene, providing a platform for artists to showcase their work and fostering an exchange of knowledge and inspiration between the artists and audience. This compilation not only captures the essence of the project but also stands as a tribute to the abundant local talent. This compilation unveils the tip of the iceberg, offering a glimpse into the vast pool of artistry within Amsterdam’s electronic music scene, and beyond.

Late Night Strut EP

PREMIERE : Forbidden Fruit - Late Night Strut

There was a strange atmosphere in the amphitheatre, onlookers were perplexed by what they'd seen, fascinated and intrigued. A rumble reverberated from the tall speakers in each corner, blasting noise down upon the gathering with a ferocious force. Soon they would all be under the hypnosis of the spell, the performance had begun.

There had been concerns that this would be too big, too grand and too ambitious to pull off but as the lights became dimmer and dimmer it was clear that the plan had worked.

Soon they would all be long gone.

Wolf Music are celebrating the work of Soul Purpose with a new EP made up of music recorded in the late nineties. Still sounding just as fresh and relevant today, these tracks have been given a well deserved lease of life.

Tom Trago is returning to his roots with a new series of club-focused EPs full to bursting with tried-and-tested tracks that recall the disco-sampling rush and release of some of his biggest dancefloor hits.

The ‘Pearls for Pleasure’ series sees the Dutch artist dip into his vast archive of previously unreleased “secret weapons” – cuts made at different points over the last decade which have been doing the business in his DJ sets, and more recently those of his closest musical confidantes and collaborators.

The music showcased on the series will feel familiar – despite its’ previously unreleased nature – for those who have followed Trago’s career since he made his debut on Amsterdam institution Rush Hour in 2006. While the Voyage Direct, TT and JNL label founder’s musical output has evolved and expanded considerably since then – taking in multiple albums, countless collaborations and aural explorations that stretch beyond the dancefloor – some of his greatest hits, most notably timeless summer anthem ‘Use Me Again’, blur the boundaries between disco, house, and his love of colourful synths and kaleidoscopic electronics.

‘Pearls for Pleasure Vol. 1’, which will appear on Tom Trago’s own TT imprint, offers a sweet and potent taste of what’s to come across the series. Sparkling and stunningly summery opener ‘Hotballs FM’ sets the tone, with the former Trouw and De School resident wrapping silky disco strings, rubbery bass, starry synths and heady vocal snippets around a hot-stepping, swing-soaked rhythm.

The energy levels lift on ‘All Right’, where Trago expertly works a handful of tight, chopped-up disco loops in classic tease-and-release fashion before he doffs a cap to his love of electrofunk and boogie on the colourful and pulsating ‘Take a Chance’. Another peak-time treat that builds in waves, the track impressively updates a little-known dollar bin gem for 21 st century dancefloors. Like the rest of ‘Pearls for Pleasure Vol. 1’, the track sounds like a summer anthem in the making.

PREMIERE: Tom Trago - Take A Chance

Signs of Space frontmen @longislandsoundeire are next in line to grace the ranks of Oath with their latest body of work, an immersive and dynamic exploration of genre-blending electronic dance nuances. The duo, championed by Boiler Room, AVA and HÖR Berlin, delves into a deluge of ethereal energy across four absorbing dancefloor-ready records that make up their ‘Fracture’ EP.

Due for single release on 9th Feb ahead of the EP's full launch, the opening track ‘Flare’ brings together shuffled two-step grooves, celestial vocal accents, and retro analogue synths to carve out an empyrean number with cosmic nuances throughout. ‘Your Love’ comes next, showcasing more of the duo’s innate ability to seamlessly weave intricate harmonic progressions with a gritty edge accompanied by cinematic-level soundscapes, poignant vocal injections, and a solid breakbeat foundation.

“Our new EP, Fracture, is an exploration of darker spaces and emotions. We spent a lot of time experimenting with vocals, synths, and reverbs, aiming to create intense and resonating moments for both big and small environments.”

Premiere: Isaie ‘Psycho (Kiara Scuro & Tech Support Remix)’

Released in 1989, 'Once Bitten' is the lone single from Kim Yaffa, an LA singer once signed to the Hollywood indie label Macola Record Co. Not long after recording this single, Yaffa shelved her music career and moved on to other aspects of the business, but she has become a cult figure amongst those who knew her work. 'Once Bitten' has only ever been available on 7" before now and is an effortlessly classy pop tune with hints of 80s blue-eyed soul and Sade-inspired sounds that lend it a timeless Balearic feel. Copies of the original 7” have been changing hands for as much as $2,000 online in recent years. Hence, this is a genuine bit of musical treasure. Says Kim about the release, "In the Late 80s Los Angeles had so much going on musically. After singing on a couple of records on Macola Records and backgrounds for other artists, I was searching for my sound, trying to find my footing as a songwriter and performer. I connected with a producer who seemed to get what I was going for and we hired Richard Elliot from Tower of Power at the time for that sexy horn sound, and we recorded Once Bitten and Lights of LA at Larrabee Sound. I think I was really into what Sade and Taylor Dayne were doing at the time, that jazzy vibe! We pressed the songs to a 45 and soon after were kind of forgotten about." Remixer Michael David is a member of the influential Los Angeles-based group Classixx, has released music on Cascine Records and worked with Holy Ghost!, Meyer Hawthorne, and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith. His version adds oodles of echo and reverb, slows things down and makes it a more trippy affair with languid lead guitars that bring a seductive and sleazy feel. London-based production duo and Record Mission label founders Nick the Record and Dan Tyler have vast DJ experience between them. Nick runs the Tangent party with John Gomez, and Dan Tyler is one-half of the legendary Idjut Boys. Their remix is perfectly sunny, primed and ready for open-air dancing with its exquisite flutes. The soulful original vocal is left to roll and will ensure this one becomes a real Balearic anthem. 'Lights of LA' is a second original from Yaffa that oozes low-key 80s charm. It has steamy sax and vocals and lush acoustic guitars, all irresistibly tingling the senses. 

New Islands will focus on the forgotten cross-genre and cross-cultural music of the 80s, 90s, and 00s, connecting them with the future. This first project is a superb one to get it underway.

Ransom Note Records sub label Insult To Injury are delighted to welcome back analogue techno pioneers Buran with their second full length excursion for the label, in the form of The Hunter EP. Born of the mechanical machinations of Joe Wretham and Ian Scott, their latest instalment of furious face melters is aimed squarely at the post midnight dancefloor, bubbling away with squelchy 303 potions and black magic beats.

First single, Alnitak, opens the EP and immediately we’re confronted with Buran’s inimitable modus operandi; slash and burn Acid Techno with a scorched earth ethos. A full frontal assault of acidic sorcery, lobbing techno bangers over the ramparts as the castle walls are pummelled. Hold onto your hats, it’s not for the faint of heart!

Alnilam is next out the gate, ricocheting off the armour plating of its enemies, bouncing along and razing everything in its path to the ground. We’re delivered brief respite from the brutality with the addition of some celestial vocal edits, whose angelic timbres provide juxtaposition to the synthetic onslaught. As the smoke clears, the penultimate Mintaka glides into view. Wonderfully barbed, but gloriously lush chords propel the track forward, over a bed over automaton drum machines and staccato blips, bleeps and swirling noise.

Rounding off, ITI are hyped to have the mighty Void Complet on remix duties. Fresh off the back of his breakthrough release on CHOBU Records, London based super producer Chog Burley takes Alnitak and reimagines it in his own image. Launching with a rich, metallic arpeggio, we’re drawn into an analogue dream, before realising that’s all a ruse. We have been lulled into a false sense of security, because we’re about to be clattered around the head by that savage 303 riff from the original. We’re caught in the crossfire as glitched vocals and bit crushed acid lines vie for dominance. This correspondent knows not how to fully encapsulate the terror of this remix… watch out dance floors around the world!
