After an overwhelming start with the illustrious artist Cuttlefish & Asparagus, who did an immense job both on Black Sun’s homonym and Ish’s “Don’t Stop", KALAKUTA SOUL Records come back with another deep set of disco gems, touched by the hand of one of the most respected heads of the genre. Glasgow’s disco godfather, the almighty Al Kent, has delivered three eclectic masterpieces, due to take the international dancefloors to a further level of musical consciousness. A further pack of deep dug bombs that confront the functionality in music many labels have always strived for. The A Side keeps every imaginable sound system busy with a drifty percussive harvester adorned with an eclectic instrumentation that splits flesh from bones and mind from soul. “Colder Than Cold” on the B Side is a perfect example of how a dancefloor should sound like. A thick bassdrum, a bass slapped by the fingers of a giant, keys and chords from heaven and horns hailing from the utmost depth of Kalakuta’s soul. Bringing you back to where it all started, the almighty Al Kent does an immense work on an evergreen, you might have bumped into as a munchkin. “Gee Wiz” closes this opus with a orchestral beauty that once gathered all the souls behind what we call music today. Limited to 500 copies!!

Nicola Conte & Nico Lahs return with their eagerly awaited second EP, continuing the musical journey they began with their acclaimed 12” Macumba de Oxalà / La Danse De L’Esprit.

This new release confirms the creative synergy between two producers who speak the same musical language: a refined blend of spiritual jazz, Afro-American rhythms and electronic sensibility, designed for the most eclectic and sophisticated dancefloors. The Tema Due project is aimed at a refined club scene, attentive to the depth and purpose of sound. Once again, Conte and Lahs are turning the dance floor into a ritual space, where body and spirit move in harmony in a musical language that not only entertains but also elevates.

In this “EP2”, Nicola Conte and Nico Lahs collaborate for the first time with the talented young Brazilian percussionist Gabriel Prado and consolidate their long-standing partnership with pianist Pietro Lusso, who plays a fundamental role in shaping the musical identity of this work. Among the tracks, “Share Your Love” stands out in particular, interpreted by Brazilian singer Nina Miranda, who brings emotional depth to a track that talks about peace, sharing and love between peoples, and is enriched by the participation of Giovanni Guidi on Fender Rhodes and synths.

“EP2” precedes the release of Tema Due’s full-length album, which is currently taking shape – a work that promises to further consolidate the duo’s shared vision, expanding their conceptual and sonic scope. To crown this creative cycle, the album will also be followed by a third EP with additional unreleased tracks, symbolically closing a trilogy of sound and vision. A coherent, intense and uncompromising musical journey, where club culture meets spirituality and artistic exploration.

@zlovecraft whips together a version of 30/70's "Breaking". Crafted inna RS HQ using strictly analog outboard gear, Mali (Z Lovecraft) strips the songs down to their bare essentials, adds a heavy break and goes wild on the effects: each version is live dubbed in one take from our South London Studio, for maximum soundboy murderation.

Nashville's dusty funkateers Magic In Threes return to RNT Reserve with a triptych of low-strung grooves, each complimented by a superlative remix. Chupa Cabra, a sweet soulful joint, is reimagined as a devilishly pulsating and funky burner by RNT mainstays @justsayfouk on their remix. Parisian @patchworks takes the 70s-cop-show funk of Work Tapes straight to Nigeria with a beautifully crafted highlife remix. Finally there's Come On Down, reminiscent of classic Donald Byrd in the Larry Mizell days, which is beefed up and readied for the dance floor by analog wizard @lay-far. A lovely package for listening, or bumping!

Limonadier Premiere - Igor B - Cisco Dois

Fetch some Piña Coladas will ya!? The latest EP from Bruk-pusher Danvers holds onto summer heat and will definitely fire up a room when asked to. You already know what it is - soulful vocals, warm-as keys, shufflin' percs and chopped up drum programming all executed in cooled nonchalant style. The one question that remains is... you can't let WHO know?

The Limonadier was started in 2010 just for fun and quickly became a complete online magazine inviting contributions across genres. All topics are welcome, as long as music is telling a story somewhere.

On offer: posts and columns dancing to the beat of the latest sounds and commenting on the music scene’s young pretenders, in-depth articles which our contributors mull over to share with you the music they think you’ll like, exclusive interviews, live reports, home-made and guest mixshakes, in-house compilations (the monthly “Limonadier Cocktail“) and a highly-curated selection of  not-to-be-missed events and releases.

With music being the most enjoyable of pretexts, we discuss what’s going on *now*, what we’ll be hearing in the future (as well as how and why), and even musical Prehistory! Every day we roll up our sleeves to deliver, in a nice cold glass, our mix of hand-picked pleasures to make you lick your lips and try without a care for moderation.
