Release Text:
Ryan Berkeley returns with a brand new release, "The Arp Ascending EP" in his signature stripped back and raw house style. 6 tracks that all started out as live jams and reworked into a collection of songs that flow through floating leads, deep bass, dubbed out influences and subtle vocals. Equal parts deep early morning energy and soundscape.

'Goin' Deep opens the EP with a Chicago infused house groove and soaring analogue leads. Keeping the energy at 100%, track 2 'Wise Groove' is a minimal roller with heavy low end, one for the smoke filled rooms and early morning enthusiasts.

'La Niña' boils down to vast soundscapes, a slow number showcasing Berkeley's dynamic side, reminiscent of some of his earlier works.
'The Arp Ascending', the releases namesake song starts with heavy drums and epic arpeggiated synths, underneath a rolling bass-line that keeps things moving, all the way up and up, ending in an epic climax.

The EP dives down again into 'She Sells Sea Shells', a lush downtempo number with layers of blips and bloops weaving through strings and 808's. Rounding out the EP is the dubbed out finisher, 'Polish & Protect' with hypnotic stabs and FM leads, clocking in at an appropriate 4 minutes 20 seconds.

Joint4Nine presents his debut release for Back Door Records this March. Filled with deep cuts and old-school grooves, this is a floor filler with plenty of heft.

Joint4nine is Bogota's finest, a beat-making maestro who's all about groove. As a co-founder of Nomada Records, he's been setting Colombia's house music scene on fire, and "That Good Of Love" is just a taste. Dropping just in time for this spring, this three-track EP is not to be missed.

PREMIERE : Joint4Nine - Get Down On It Pt.II

Parisian imprint Ekleroshock is an independent label and publisher that in its time, has sold almost a million records.  Founded in 2002, it has been active for over two decades in the innovative electronic pop world.
 
Here the label brings us ‘En Silence Remixes’ by Antonin. Named after his grandmother’s boat, he is a global wanderer both in France and beyond, a sun-drenched character of the open roads who grew up on the picturesque Cap Ferret. On first appearance his silhouette and free as a bird spirit might have think he was a model or a surfer.  And you wouldn’t be too far from the truth as his chosen mode of travel is a surfboard. Aside from his board, Antonin’s only masters are time, the ocean, and the strings of his acoustic guitar.  
 
His debut album ‘En Silence’ was an ode to the sea and to stillness. The pop refrains, catchy ballads, and island-infused saudades created a captivating charm that guided this bard on a summer tour across the roads of France in a van, where he opened for both the Oracle Sisters and Kings Of Convenience, as well as joining the European tour of Allah-Las.
 
On this remix EP, Antonin invites friends Polo & Pan, Yuksek, Kraak & Smaak, Omri Smadar, Lazy Flow, and Dorion to work their magic on three of the album cuts. French iconoclasts, Polo & Pan, bring the tropical heat to the heartfelt ‘Je Veux Mourir Avec Toi’ (I want to die with you). Sonic dynamo Yuksek electrifies with his unmistakable nu disco touch on ‘Antonin’, while Omri Smadar (Correspondent) adds luscious pads, thrilling live drums, and works the 303 a treat on his version. La Créole resident, Lazy Flow,takes us to a Caribbean dream island, while Dutch trio Kraak & Smaak bring bags of their distinctive boogie flavour to the title cut. Closing out in a more subtle mode is Dorion who persuades us to follow him to the seaside with his sandcastles and warm summer sunshine affair.

PREMIERE : Antonin - Antonino (Lazy Flow 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.

Vicious Charm is the Brighton-based independent label setup by Damian Harris, formerly of Skint Records, to champion exciting artists and sounds that move him, with an artist roster that includes the brilliant JIM, E.R. Thorpe, Crooked Man, A Mountain Of One, and now A.B. HABIBI.
 
A.B. HABIBI is the artist name of Edinburgh-based Aymen Bensaad. A passionate music maker, Aymen has grown up in Leith, honing his sound and sharing formative experiences alongside a wave of talented artists he is proud to call friends and collaborators. He shares a studio (The Dungeon) and more with close comrades Young Fathers and Callum Easter, and his sound is naturally reflective of the environment, instruments, and sessions they all share. Born to Tunisian parents, Aymen spent summer holidays with his father in Jendouba soaking in the Tunisian spirit, culture and heritage that is woven through his music, combining with everything he knows and is surrounded by in Edinburgh – his home – to forge raw and purposeful songs.
 
Tunisian in body and soul, Scottish in heart and mind, the latest signing to Vicious Charm Recordings presents his debut double A-side release ‘Helfy Mission / Mother Africa’. Two extended electronic jams to play loud. Heavy and minimal, dark and chuggy. Made with machines. Made with heart

LYO#243 / Chez De Milo

The people in the room began to dance, worries were left outside on the pavement and would not be collected until sometime tomorrow morning. All love within this desparate place was to be found amidst the room, what was external was to be forgotten and ignored for the time being. He had come here to dance with freedom and self preservation. This was his night upon the floor and the rest of society could give a damn how he moved to and fro with a swing in his step. 

Ryan Berkeley is set to release an inspired new EP on Houses In Motion in what will be the fifth outing on the record label. A strong release spanning a breadth of genres and style - this one is a treat.

Melbourne's Houses in Motion are a label we've had the pleasure of premiering music from before. Continuing to stay with their ethos of releasing only local, Aussie artists, they have the pleasure of welcoming fellow Melburnian Ryan Berkeley into their family. It's been a little while since HIM's last release but we're happy they're pushing only the best talent that they come across. HIM005 from Ryan Berkeley is a bit of an intergalactic journey that builds up as the record progresses.

Starting off with some lush melodies on the A side in the forms of 'Everything in Moderation' and 'All I Love', we see a subdued and dreamy side of the Australian producer. Floaty cosmic atmospheres and bloops take you straight into outer space. As the A side draws to a close this spaceship picks up some steam with 'Crutches'. Subdued squelchy melodies and arpeggiated riffs are the turning point on the record and there's no going back as the hard-hitting B side looms on the horizon.

B1 'JuKnow?' brings us straight into house territory with a chunky bass, chopped vocal loops and extra-terrestrial bleeps as we approach the blazing heat of the sun on this journey into outer space. Climaxing on the B2 and our premiere today, we feel the full intensity of the record culminate in 'You Dance, You Move'. A vocal sample tells you to do just that as heavy drums and an acid line start to melt your brain. You're fully in alien territory now and there's no turning back.

Label: Love Above Records (https://soundcloud.com/loveaboverecords)
https://soundcloud.com/ryanberkeley

In 2016 in Melbourne, The Love Above began as a sanctuary of house and disco in Melbourne’s underground club scene. A party in which DJs explored their record collections in search of that dusty disco banger or that forgotten King Street b-side dub mix. A place where dancers could feel safe, free, and welcome to express themselves and their individuality. The sound was house music. The mentality was freedom and love. Finally, in 2019, Ryan Berkeley, DJ Ingrid & Dawn Again (The Love Above) embarked on their journey to share their love for house music. From this, Love Above Records was formed.
 
Love Above Records is a medium through which we can champion the sound that defines The Love Above. We aim to push house music with a modern twist, taking influence from the early years. Love Above Records is an extension of our beloved parties, and a way to take the party with you. A party you can play at home, a party you can carry in your record bag…and of course, something to start a party of your own. 
 
LAR001 is a selection of tracks made by us and our close friends. It has taken a long time for it to come to fruition. From once existing only through long conversations on couches at afterparties, to finally holding a physical record in our hands...we present the debut release from Love Above Records - LAR001 Various Artists

Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange - Nikita (Ryan Berkeley Remix)

Straight out of Melbourne, Ryan Berkeley takes on jazz-house group Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchanges self-titled album (originally released in 2018 through Wax Museum Records) and flips Nikita into a hypnotic deep house roller in typical Berkeley fashion. 

Starting off with swirling pads and raw 909 drums the remix takes you into cruise control all the way to the bridge, which tips its hat to the original ZFEX sound and melodies building up and up with flutes and synths taking you to a climactic finish.

Ziggy Zeitgeist has become a staple of the Australian Music scene. Touring and recording with Melbourne Nu-Soul/ future-jazz collective, ‘30/70’ has enabled Zeitgeist to forge new frontiers in improvisation and drum-set application. Zeitgeist has stepped up to the role of bandleader in the debut self-titled album Zeitgeist Freedom Energy Exchange. 

The vision of this project was to create a live band experience that is closely aligned with an extended DJ set, heavily influenced by club culture and transformative festivals where people seek a more transcendent experience- a continuous odyssey, sound and groove with the spirit of live improvisation. The main influences for this project include house, broken beat, and a good dose of 70’s jazz-funk in order to create a unique and cosmic pocket.
