Original Tracks

Great to see the return of Toko Records, whom along with their contemporaries Paper Recordings, Glasgow Underground and Shaboom were responsible for a slew of classic northern UK deep house tracks in the mid to late nineties. After a 20 year break they are back with two releases set for late summer from label mainstay Si Brad. The Sheffield based label's eye for sonic quality has not gone away; with a diverse selection of tracks ranging from downtempo, sunset chillers to a soaring deep house roller with a stunning vocal delivery from Azeem that proves to be one of the tracks of the summer. Look out also for an epic eleven minute cosmic re-work from Psychemagik on the first release.

PREMIERE: Si Brad feat Azeem - Avenue 6 [Toko Records]

https://soundcloud.com/joemorris returns to his own Shades Of Sound imprint with the Pacific Dream EP, comprising four original shimmering tracks that channel the heat, light and humidity of peak summer months. The lead track 'Pacific Dream (Energy Mix)' is a classic deep house workout. Organic keys and heady synths combine over an irresistible rolling 909 drum groove. On the 'Sunset Mix' the pace cools down, space is given to the soaring synths and gentle hand drums assist the languid tone to melt away over the horizon. 'New Generation' is modern balearica at it's best; a mid tempo groove cut to emotive pads and fluttering 303's. 'Island People' rounds off the EP in similar emotive fashion with a relaxed, breezy atmosphere drifting through its lazy beats and melancholic strings.

DC Promo Tracks: JP Sunshine & Guim "Trencacintures" (Hugo LX Mix)

Lone Saxon returns with a 2nd EP, 4 fresh original cuts by producer Nick J. Smith. Inspired and created through the love of the ethereal Italian Dream and Ibiza house sound of the early 90's. Searching for the golden thread of euphoric dance trance to an idealised land of utopia, hope and sun kissed freedom.

Mexico City resident La Guardia De La Luz is back on Hell Yeah with a new three-track EP, The Magnetic Field, a perfect follow-up from his Awakenings EP back in late 2021. 

This Balearic-not-Balearic artist has been crafting his seductive sounds for many years. From lush deep house to stoner dub via psychedelic beats, he can do it all with a majestic sense of storytelling. This time out he has his sights set firmly on the dance floor as he mixes up breakbeat, reggae and disco. 

'Kingston Technologies' has an irresistibly wiggling dub rhythm. Dusty breakbeats and digi-synths dance around one another as warm chords and jah-inspired vocals drift up top. It's a super fresh tune that sounds like nothing else out there. 

The epic ten-minute workout that is 'Planetary' builds on deep-cut house drums with funky bass playing and louche percussion. It's an early evening classic that will see any floor slowly fill up as people shake their booty to the loose rhythm and get lost in the soulful melodies that grow ever more cosmic. 

Finally, the title track is another nearly 10-minute masterpiece with silky star-gazing arps circling up through the mix over lazy breaks. It's an expansive track with a widescreen design that has you gazing off to the distance and lost in a loved-up deep disco reverie. 

These are three inventive tunes that take you to another world.

La Guardia de la Luz - Planetary

Following a stunning debut LP on Planet Trip in 2021 Two Ends offers up a glorious EP for Shades Of Sound Recordings. Comprised of three original tracks that are rich in colourful melodies and dreamy textures, drifting beautifully between deep house energy and a warm downtempo feeling. Remixes come in the form of a gorgeous blissed out rework from LOVA while Joe Morris offers up both a shimmering downtempo mix and a deeper club cut.

The title track and cover image plays homage to the beautiful Yaverland beach at dusk. That and every other moment happens to us only once, so we may as well savour it with full attention. Frame of Mind is about the inner narratives we tell ourselves to make sense of life events whilst Crossings explores the joys and pains of living between countries, cultures and peoples.

Written during the darkest days of the Covid-19 Pandemic the tracks are deliberately imbued with a warmth and light. Richly textured melodies and a vibrant sonic palette that dance around each other to create an immersive dance floor experience full of freedom and emotion.

Teen Daze flips the energy of the original to a languid pace for a more poolside atmosphere. Cool electric keys and sparkling chords add a dreamy, hazy quality to the music.  Embracing the dream house aesthetic of the original, the Desert Island Disco version offers up a breezy house vibe that moves with an energetic pace, introducing cool piano hooks and breathy vocals.   Pleasure Voyage take a nostalgic turn, transporting us back to the heady days of Rimini with a fun italo-house rework packed with irresistible grooves.
