The third, sparkling single “Glassy” is taken from Kasper Bjørke ́s much anticipated, forthcoming album “Sprinkles”.

Following this springs off kilter first single “Kites” - and the synth choir anthem “Running”, which also got a royal remix treatment by Eden Burns, “Glassy” comes across like an auditory lucid dream appearing while gazing at the dancing reflections of the sun on the ocean surface. 

Lush, heart-tugging melodies intertwine with a fretless bassline and Bjørkes signature, crisp drums; once again raising the expectations for the album which is dropping July 30th. 

One of the finest frontrunners on the UK rave scene 1-800 Girls has crafted a truly celestial remix of “Glassy”, with tingling emotional textures being the glue that holds everything together.

Masha Mar - Last Light (STW Premiere)

Uplifting and rhythmic house sounds from Dampé landing on FINA Records. Next up on Fina Records is the 'Sleet' EP from Dampé - the solo project of Joe Munday, a producer and DJ from South London.  The four track release is arguably his most immediate, deep and dance floor focused project yet, including a collaboration with Narotam Horn. We're premiering the title track in full today - 'Sleet' closes the record with some rolling house pieced together from tape samples, acid baselines and a growling Vermona DDR.

Premiere: Dampé - Sleet [FINA Records]

Coming through as a producer in the early 2000's, nothing much seemed normal. The whirlwind of 90s dance music innovation had given way to a lack of focus, with increasingly innovative and accessible technology making the sounds heard on dancefloors more eclectic but at the same time the parties had started to feel less inspired, as if it were too hard to keep hold of the magic that had swirled around us for the last 10 years.

Against this backdrop, Mark Hawkins immediately stood out by how grounded he was compared to most of the space cadets floundering with their musical calling. Watching one of his staggeringly raw live sets, ripping up the floor with a combination of jacking Chicago house and bare bones techno was to see a pragmatic idealist carving out a unique space, unashamed to reference his inspirations with humour and bombast.

It was perhaps inevitable that Mark’s boundless spirit would see him push through the barriers of the UK’s more experimental audiences to gain greater presence with his entrance to a more underground House sound. Releases followed on Dixon Avenue Basement Jams and Clone before arriving on Houndstooth, blending House and Techno in a way that reached for the sky even while their roots were clearly planted firmly in the ground. Whilst always tough-as-painted-nails, the music progressed from being identifiable through its keen rawness to displaying increasing sophistication.

During a lost year that’s been anything but normal, it’s no surprise that Mark has dug deeper, gathering his influences and ideals into a more experimental, yet relevant and cohesive whole. The Twelve tracks on this new album represent a blossoming of Mark’s creativity; freed from the constraints of immediate dance-floor delivery they explore new territory, rampaging over a landscape of electro-funk, body-rocking house, experimental electronica, euphoric pop, and reflective chill out all underpinned by his accomplished melodic sensibility.

Lead single from the album from the old ways and into the new is ‘Let It Slide’, his second collaboration with Jamie Lidell (following 2018’s “We Should Be Free”) that tears up the rulebook. Beat’s stumble and stutter, resolving in angular B-boy grooves while the bass line sounds like it’s being slapped out by a P Funk-addicted robotic jackhammer. In its sheer disregard for musical conventions, it reprises Lidell’s previous work with Cristian Vogel in their genre-destroying freakbeat combo, Super Collider, and perfectly sums up an album that challenges what ‘normal’ from now on should be.

CB90 Dance Recordings land their second release to the catalogue with one of Berlin's rising stars Anthony Georges Patrice. We were blown away with the class and oozing raw style from both tracks on this EP. Poor Pitch Discrimination is bursting with raw bass energy and tough New York style drums that maintain a pace throughout. This is then balanced with a melodic sweetness that captivates your ear with hypnotic subtle changes in the background. On the B side is Neshama - with a skipping rhythm groove, tense emotional strings & pads that hold you in the air and constantly fill you with warm emotion and a sense of lifting off. Anthony has been building a serious wealth of music on labels like Lossless, Goldmin Music, Dance Artifakts, Frau Blau and many more. We are delighted to have him join the CB90 collective.

PREMIERE : Anthony Georges Patrice - Neshama

Joe Morris 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.

Snecker - Mandemic
BUY LINK: https://freeridemillenium.bandcamp.com/
Release date: 15 october 2021
Label: Freeride Millenium (https://soundcloud.com/freeridemillenium)

Berghain resident DJ nd_baumecker has been a key voice in house & techno for years. As part of Barker & Baumecker, he has put out essential EPs and LPs on Ostgut Ton. Snax is a musician, singer, songwriter, producer, performer and DJ who brings real character to everything he does, releasing extensively on his Random Records label and many others. The pair have previously teamed up for remixes, bootleg and otherwise, and now expand on that with this inventive release. Says the artist of this new release, “‘Mandemic' sprang from the concept of what it might be like if / when our world’s current situation became eroticised, perhaps even evolving into a queer sex party. The only name for such a party would have to be ‘Mandemic', of course, and Snecker quickly stepped up to deliver its theme song.” It occurred to Snax that he knew another musician friend who would simply love to be on board with this, and that would be none other than Khan, the other half of their disco duo Captain Comatose. Together they provide the lyrical backdrop to this throbbing track for future dark rooms. ‘Mandemic’ is a sexy house tune with bumping drums and rubbery bass. Steamy vocals add intimacy while the pixelated leads lash about the mix next to splashes of acid and plenty of FX. Veteran DJ, songwriter and illustrator Pete Ellison remixes with a more trippy feel. The drums are chunky, and the chords jump about while dripping with naughtiness. Fauve Records boss and lifelong crate digger Romain FX then flips the tune into a stripped-back jack track with a driving bassline. Expressive melodies remain in place to ensure maximum impact on the floor. The second original, 'Things We Got,' is full of flavour from the pulsing bass, the angular drums and sprinkles of cosmic synth. It's warm and humid with an ever-evolving arrangement that keeps you on your toes. ‘Mandemic’ is a typically charming and characterful new take on house music from Freeride Millenium, and once again features striking artwork from Daniel Rajcsanyi.
