Malmö’s own Sune secures Better Listen’s tenth release, continuing the label's love for all things Scandinavian. 'Butter Love' is an enchanting, dusty disco gem chock full of soul samples adorned by heady drum programming which implores you to "Dance...you've got nothing to loose".
This track and the whole EP actually is pure sunshine, and man do we need it right now!

Today’s premiere comes from the inaugural release on Cardiology, a new sub-label from Burnski and Jon Woodall’s Constant Sound imprint. Having proven his aptitude for quality sampling on his last EP for Roots for Bloom Records, young frenchman Yann Polewka steps up yet again with 4 club-ready cuts of disco-tinged house.

Our pick off the EP is the B2, “Night’s Over Vern”. Right off the bat, that mysterious harp and those crisp cowbells had us hooked, throw in a tight bassline here and some shuffling hi-hats there, and there’s the backbone of any good disco edit. But no good bit of disco is complete without a hefty dose of filtered strings, a low-pass breakdown and groovy vocals for that final drop, all of which Yann has generously provided us with. All in all, it’s safe to say that Yann has the recipe for a perfect disco edit figured out, and tracks like these are a reminder of why nobody can ever get enough of that sweet french touch.

Between us, I might have given this track a round or two on the dance floor already, and believe me it works. No need to take our word though, give this a spin and see if you can stop your head from bobbing. Cardiology 00 comes out on the 28th of January, grab it here.

Support it: https://kuronekomedia.lnk.to/OndaInvernale

Label: De La Groove Records
Artist: Various (Carlo)
Format: Digital
Cat Number: DLG008
EP Title: Onda Invernale
Release Date: February 2nd, 2019

Onda Invernale comes as the 2nd Digital VA and an answer to Blazing Waves release April 2018.
This one is a 5-tracks gathering : Carlo, lelù, Tom Jarmey and MarBlu, M.ono hits back on DLG and Le Hutin comes as the local boy.

This 5 tracks drive you amidst winterly feeling. Not saying cold, it is more something very cosy. 

Introducing on the organ-roller 'Niji No Hashikake' is delivered with tons of love and layers-growing-crazy by M.ono. Second named 'Jazz A Night', some carribean jazz bar piano inspiration and a large dose of evolution towards garageable beats from Le Hutin. Third is Carlo man hitting with a smooth groover well balanced between deepness and organic presence coated in charming vocals, 'starting tomorrow'. Forth comes lelù from outer-atlantic for a 90's beat alike, 'Pimp Talk' is just a fine exploration of house referring to hip-hop influences. Last comes Tom Jarmey with a very personnal softener, featuring MarBlu, where vocals and multiple key layers madly melt into each others.

I Wanna Be With You

Mark Lower - I Wanna Be With You

Walking through the dingy car park they cast a mean aura in the midst of the night.

They were dressed head to toe in one shade, a distinctive black which meant business. In each of their hands they held a gun, it was a reminder of who was in charge and at this moment in time there was nobody more powerful than them. The lights flickered above as they paced along the concrete, the empty space was haunting and deadly in the dense despair of the night. They were the men in black and they held the cards now. 

Blaq Numbers are set to release the next EP in their Whyte Numbers series, a fun filled affair featuring an all star cast. Larry Houl delivers a euphoric, vocal driven party starter as part of the package.

I've Got To Find A Way (Fingerman and Chewy Rubs Re - Edit) FREE DL

Hi Music Lovers,
As promised, I am happy to offer you this track I’ve been re-mastered and re-arranged over the past months, as a FREE download for this Valentine period, and to thank you for supporting my work !
Bronx born Dave Valentin was a gifted musician, a brilliant flutist that I had the pleasure to see in concert during his GRP days.
This track was only available on Vinyl up to this very day. 
Last year I bought a mint and unopened copy of it, in order to do the transfer first, and then started the re-mastering and production of it… The original was initially recorded on Dave Valentin “In Love’s Time” album in 1982 with a cast of incredible talented musicians such as Marcus Miller on Bass, Buddy Williams on Drums, Jeff Mironov on Guitar, Patrice Rushen and Dave Grusin on Keyboards, among others… Curtis King Jr is the singer on this session, and by the way there are many other gems on this same album... 
Let's bring back LOVE in life !
