Jorkes - Sweet Dreams (Live At Robert Johnson)

31.7

13.8 Outings

For their second installment, the Chateau Chepere crew brings on board legendary producer Stephan Laubner under his STL moniker, with four time warping pieces of music. With his distinctive and intricate sonic palette, Laubner extracts from his hardware different musical colors and shapes to produce singular atmospheres. Opening up the EP is Fly Fly, an epic 11 min minimal house trip full of tension and excitement, followed by Eargrind, an eerie, laid back Detroit leaning ballad. On the flip is Light Up, a spaced out, playful and bittersweet number that will revitalize any hazy after-hours dancefloor. Closing up the EP is Unlike Dislike, a quirky, jacking and mischievous techno workout for the packed club. This diverse ep will pull the listeners and dancers into Laubner's multifaceted, low key but captivating universe.

STL - Partial Light EP

The increasingly vital Jorkes makes a big step up to the acclaimed Live at Robert Johnson label with her standout Sweet Dreams EP. As with all Jorkes EPs, the artwork features photography shot by Daniel Rajcsanyi.
Jorkes has been making big and bold moves recently. She is the co-founder of the unique Freeride Millenium label which is a hotbed for queer dance music. German-born but Austria based, she has an influential residency at Radio 80000 alongside ParisBöhm and is a resident at Stuttgart's Romantica where she plays a thrilling mix of disco, house, techno and everything in between. She is someone who always serves to highlight the importance of the dance floor as a place of sexual and cultural liberation and this new EP is another innovative statement that comes as she rides a wave of high profile radio, DJ and media support for recent outings on her own label.
Opener 'You Will be Mine' is a song about obsessing after an unattainable stranger on the dance floor who disappears into the night. It's a silky disco house sound with chords that sing and a floating bassline that lifts you off your feet. The melodic motifs bring charm and cosmic energy and the whole track has a lush, musical feel. The equally excellent 'Robot Lover' muses on human detachment in this technological era of internet porn, dating apps and screen obsessions and how a robotic lover might be a better fit than a real life partner. It is another elastic and disco-tinged rhythm, with elegant chords and dancing keys over a suspensory bassline. Intimate vocal whispers bring tenderness to this timeless track.
On the flip side, 'Sweet Dreams' layers up infectious claps and tinny percussion over an irresistible deep house groove. It's a widescreen, symphonic sound that brings very real but subtle joy and closer 'CDEvaLo' is the name of a crossdressing male-to-female and sex-worker friend of Jorkes. She sings the introduction lyrics in Greek and they translate as "It was a very beautiful day, while we were sitting at the park we thought of going out for a coffee and realized we have no money and are absolutely broke. So we discussed about who is gonna put the wig on to "go and make a visit“ [Greek slang for sex work] so we'll have money again." It is a comment on the number of young people who arrived in Athens over the years to do cross-dressing sex work after being kicked out by their Orthodox Christian homes. The track flips the script with a more playful disco sound, characterful vocoder vocals and glossy synths over a jacked house beat.
This is an expansive EP that shows off the different sides to Jorkes's unique sound.

A. Madhouse Dub feat. Kristian Harborg
B. Melbourne Bolero

When did we write these songs? How long did we let them collecting digital dust before we decided to put them out? Memory is a difficult thing these days. But thanks to Swedish saxophone virtuoso Kristian Harborg these two songs suddenly re-surfaced, with new relevance and purpose. Taladitionalists will hear a familiar sound, as we stick to deep & dubby Kraut disco, fine-tuned for intimate stadiums yet again. Can a song be too long? Let’s find out! Thanks for listening.

Talaboman - Melbourne Bolero

One moment he was there, the next he wasn't, now lost amongst the crowd of bodies that flooded the dance floor. It was almost like a mirage, perhaps she'd imagined it all and he didn't exist at all. Their eyes had met across the dance floor and instantly something had clicked; she knew she had to have him, and nine out of 10 times she got what she wanted. Tonight was one of those exceptions; that would be the last time she'd lay eyes on him, a mystery he'd remain...

Vienna-based producer Jorkes has been making a name for herself through her carefully curated queer-focused label, Freeride Millenium, and long-standing residency on Munich's Radio 80000. Jorkes' productions mirror her approach to DJing: they're a sultry mix of disco, cosmic house and synth-soaked sounds that embody a sense of sexual freedom that Jorkes has always connected with the dance. Live at Robert Johnson is the next home for their creations: a four-track EP titled 'Sweet Dreams' which represents another deep dive into cosmic grooves and deep, disco-tinged house.

Jorkes - Hot [Live At Robert Johnson]

The second edition of this vital series features world-renowned talents such as Benjamin Fröhlich, Venice Arms aka Curses, Massimiliano Pagliara, Zombies in Miami, label founder Jorkes, and many more.

Queer Base is a charity in Vienna that offers social and legal counselling to LGBTQI+ refugees who arrive in Austria, including providing help with court cases, finding housing, community events, organising German lessons, HIV/STI testing, and more. Further details can be found at https://queerbase.at/.

This tastefully curated selection traverses the electronic spectrum in style. Polygonia opens with supple and trippy minimal on 'Cheeky Seduction' and things build through dubby, stripped-back analogue grooves from HCL, typically bright, jacked-up, and synth-heavy sounds from Massimiliano Pagliara on 'Distant Memory' and retro-future disco-house from Benjamin Fröhlich. CYRK's 'Fade 2 Gay' is a slow-motion and moody dark disco chugger before Gunce Aci picks it up with some skyward arps and slap-funk drums on 'Whatever It Takes.'

Elsewhere Zombie Affair, aka Zombies in Miami & Mystery Affair, offer the body-popping electro-disco of 'Girl, You Got Me', Panooc's 'Pellucid' is a throwback and sensual vocal house cut and Lydia Eisenblätter brings all out piano house joy to 'What Is Love' before the closer from Mala Ika is another celebratory cut full of hands in the air synths and joyous drums.

This compilation is not only an essential listen but also an essential project that highlights and supports the vital work undertaken by Queer Base. The artwork was created by label creative powerhouse Daniel Rajcsanyi, and the LP was mastered by Blackheadstudios.

CYRK is a live show and studio project by Sammy Goossens and Pascal Hetzel. They mix up a love of Italo, Detroit-influenced techno, acid and electro on cult labels like Running Back, Polari and Lone Romantic. This one sees them link with Hard Ton, aka Wawashi Deejay and heavy metal singer Max. They have been leading the way in Italo disco and Chicago fusions since 2008, often with anthemic vocal tracks that come with a proudly oversized queer persona.

'Take Me To The Top' is a superb collision of worlds—throwback 80s synth sounds, crashing drums, and Italo arps are all topped off with sensual vocals. The results are raw and physical but steeped in heartfelt emotion and brought to life with plenty of retro-future colours.

Remixer Jorkes is a force on the European underground who has the queer community at the centre of his work. He has released passionate house and disco on labels like Robert Johnson, Permanent Vacation and Freeride Millenium. The remix is a slightly more paired back trip infused with pixelated chord magic and warm, heartfelt grooves that cruise through cosmic worlds with style and grace.
