Ease The Pain (Original Mix)

Hard tabaco

Suzanne Kraft's ambient LP "Talk From Home" and his EP released as Dude Energy were definitely some of 2015's highlights. The LA producer returns this month with the "DJ Safety" EP released via Stuttgart label Kitjen, who had previously welcomed Hotel Lauer, Tambien and Shit Robot. This time Diego Herrera offers three beautifully crafted house jams, including the phlegmatic Japanese-inspired "Skype". As usual with Suzanne Kraft, the production is flawless : a steady beat, a mesmeric bass line, dreamy pads, a clever use of the delay, Herrera knows how to tell a story. Mind-blowing and already essential, out on March 28th !

Two years after the electro-soca sensation that became of Carl & Carol Jacobs’ Robot Jam, the duo return to Emotional Rescue with a reissue of the follow up in Yonge Street Jam Band.   An update of Robot Jam’s music and riddim in a true Caribbean sense, Yonge Street is a freestyle remix and comes in the original’s Parts 1 & 2, plus a special Discomix by rising tape manipulator, Jonny 5.

Following Robot Jam on Crosby Records, the Jacobs’ husband and wife team released a series of soca 12”s for Eddy Grant’s Ice Records in the following years.   However, come 1988 and they decided to return to the electro flavours that had garnered considerable interest, reworking the Robot Jam tapes to create a new version for release on Straker's Records in Brooklyn.

Running for over 30 years from the early 70s to late 90s, Granville Straker's label was a cornerstone of the soca scene releasing main stays, reggae stars and what have become highly sought rarities such as Yonge Street and The Rebles’ Sweetest Taboo.  

In Yonge Street again the cut-up samples are there, topped with a fresh bass line and Carl’s own rap attack.   While Part 1 acts as straight up vocal version, Part 2 swerves towards scat-megamix stylings that work in their own right.    However, as with the “Disco Giant” series of 2015, this one-off return hands the tapes over for a modern reinterpretation.   

With acclaimed releases for Bahnsteig 23 and Power Cuts, plus an upcoming EP for Pleasure Wave, Jonny 5 has finally made the leap from respected CBS Forum oracle, DJ and collector with a penchant from dub to obscuro European cold wave and post punk oddities to finally sit in the producer’s chair.

After sending the label a personal mix made for his own use, he was hauled in to the studio to officially cut, mix, arrange and dub a long-form Discomix in the truest sense that perfectly creates a dance floor retake that might well be heard from boat parties off the Dalmatian cost to the open air street parties of São Paulo and all over festivals across the green fields of Europe.

After the vinyl release of "Life Worth Living" EP, the Belgo-Australiana duo Ca$hminus return with "VER$ION$" which is exactly what it says on the tin - friends' reinterpretations from around the globe. Melbourne’s brotherly duo Donald’s House get things started. After their debut EP on Berlin’s Touch Of A Distance a few months ago, they present their first ever remix: a low slung, far out dub version of “Paradise” - the original will see the light of day early 2020. 

Next up, favourite Frenchie E-Talking (Whities) delivers a shapeshifting dancefloor version of "De Vlasmarkt". A true rollercoaster of a track that takes you places. Emotional entertainment, dare we say it.

Hong Kong’s very own Mr. Ho rounds things off. The Mihn Club resident and one of the powers behind Klasse Wrecks offers a murky, understated groove with echoes of trance lurking out of sigh.

PRÈMIÉRE: Cashminus - "Paradise" (Donald's House Eyez Closed Mix)[Cashminus]

She was beautiful, elegant and charming. She moved across the room with grace and caught the attention of wandering eyes who watched onwards from beside the pool. She sipped from a tall drink as the wind blew softly in the midst of what was a warm summer afternoon. Out here in the countryside, the world was peaceful and innocent. The air was clean and pure, the people kind and good. This was the land of Baila, a sun kissed tropical paradise beneath blue skies. 

Pitto is set to release a new EP via Heist Recordings. A euphoric, driven, dance floor focussed EP with energy and promise. It's reminiscent of late nights and warm climates.

PREMIERE: Pitto - Baila [Heist Recordings]

Marco Gallerani's essential Hell Yeah! imprint embark on a series of digital cuts through the summer months and thier first offering is a distincly Antipodean flavour from Melbourne based Kayroy and Dawn Again who offers up a dreamy deep house take on 'Imagine'. Shuffling breakbeats, woozy chords and the seductive, breathy vocal all combine for an atmospheric track fit for a warm, twilight night sky.

PREMIERE: Kayroy - Imagine (Dawn Again Remix) [Hell Yeah! Recordings]

Hell Yeah welcomes the Italian musical collective Aura Safari for a debut EP on the label.

The band, who are at the forefront of a new Italian fusion sound that blends jazz-funk, electronic and world sounds, is made up of acclaimed house devotee Nicholas Iammatteo, plus Alessandro Deledda, Lorenzo Lavoratori, Daniele Melloni and Andrea Moretti. They contributed a standout track to the Buena Onda - Balearic Beats compilation last year as well as releasing a full length LP on UK label Church to critical acclaim.

Opener 'Dreams of Music' is a lush, new age groove with rich musicality, wind instruments and live drums all glowing warmly as you roll into sundown. 'Oasis' then sinks into a reflective mood, with lazy drums and sensuous late night chords sounding like Roy Ayers all loved up and super stoned. The noodling keys really melt your heart before the excellent 'Slow Divers' pairs more majestic bass riffs with wet claps and splashing cymbals as a wandering lead drifts up to the heavens. It has a dubby swagger to it that is superbly subtle.

Closing out the EP 'Libra', is a heartwarming, slow motion, jazz-funk fusion packed with detail and life affirming synth playing.

These are gloriously heartfelt tracks that showcase this collective's supreme musical ability as well as their unquestionable understanding of jazz, funk and soul, past, present and future.
