“Conclave”
CAT#: LIR-003
Release Date: June 18 2021

Conclave is by definition a gathering, a coming together.

Conclave, linguistically, is an amalgamation: con (with) + clave (a unifying rhythm that holds the key to unlock dances both ancestral and contemporary).

Conclave is a live musical gathering of rotating musicians headed by multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Cesar Toribio, in which alchemy is evident in the ebb and flow of its compositions, and seductive juxtapositions of the delicate and powerful are inextricably woven around the living, breathing rhythm.

Conclave - Habla

Barbie Bertisch
“Prelude”
CAT#: LIR-005
Release Date: June 17, 2022

Prelude is an introspective record. It explores all of the valences of being and feeling. Some songs are chaotic and choppy. Others are soft and searching. There is rage and innocence, and moments of forced stillness, like capturing the aftermath of panic attacks, as in “After The Storm”. Bertisch also focuses on rhythm, bass guitar being her main instrument, and no stranger to the power of the beat. The record also draws on influences as varied as Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith, Cocteau Twins, Berlin School, and pioneering producer François Kevorkian. Both sonically and conceptually, Prelude is a portrait of who Bertisch is as a person.“Is This What You Wanted?” is fiery, a pointed provocation to domineering figures from her past. It’s full of strobing, strident synths, and heady lines of bass. It gives off the same vibe as a fire alarm, as a big room dance track that subverts your expectations of what it means to dance in a sea of bodies. “28,” the record’s opening track is more peaceful. It’s all languid keyboard arpeggios with the occasional flourish of a cascading synth effect.

Conclave - Rise (Mike Simonetti Remix)

Conclave
”The Remixes"
CAT#: LIR-004
Release Date: December 15, 2021

Assigned with the task of reshaping one of Conclave’s most kinetic tracks, Love Injection Fanzine/Records extended family members Craig Handfield and Brandon Weems of musclecars’s “Alati Yeye Chege (Remix)” shrewdly emphasizes the soulful intimacy at the heart of the original. Gradually building from congas, the duo unfurls a joyous and percolating four-on-the-floor groove, piano and synth lines nimbly darting about Cesar’s layered vocals with the finesse of the dancers it will surely inspire. Best of all, though, is a surprise false ending that gives way to an exhilarating coda – an eruption of percussion and flute that closes out the track.

Conclave
”The Remixes”
CAT#: LIR-004
Release Date: December 15, 2021

Photay’s “All That I Need (Remix)” brilliantly sets the tone. Anchored by an irresistibly syncopated percussive line, it accumulates perfectly placed rhythmic layers and accents, then drops in Cesar and sister Sharin Toribio’s sparse vocals amidst touches of haunting modulating organ and Bernie Worrell-esque synth squeals, all while largely dispensing with traditional basslines. It’s an intoxicatingly moody (re-)arrangement, reflective of Photay’s uncanny ability to generate momentum and evoke stillness at once. And it’s reprised in a more stripped down iteration for his lovely Photay Lullaby Remix, which dials back the percussion and plays up a simple thumb piano melody from the song’s beautifully bridge for maximum emotional resonance.

Conclave
“All That I Need (Photay Remixes)”
CAT#: LIR-005 
Release Date: November 29, 2021

Conclave’s self-titled debut has been hailed as one of 2021’s best, described as “magnificent” by Resident Advisor, “a vibrant house album that beautifully celebrates rhythms, collaboration and musical history.” The brainchild of New York City-based vocalist, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Cesar Toribio, it is that rarity in dance music: a conceptual project that never lets ideation (specifically, a celebration of the Afro-Latin clave rhythm as a transcendent musical key) impede its primary motive of putting bodies in motion.

Now with Conclave – The Remixes EP, four of Conclave’s finest tracks are imaginatively re-invented across five remixes by Photay, musclecars, Jenifa Mayanja and Mike Simonetti. The resulting sounds represent an extended play in the truest sense: a continuation of the spirit of Toribio’s explorations that adventurously takes the original compositions into welcome and unexpected territory.

Photay’s “All That I Need (Remix)” brilliantly sets the tone. Anchored by an irresistibly syncopated percussive line, it accumulates perfectly placed rhythmic layers and accents, then drops in Cesar and sister Sharin Toribio’s sparse vocals amidst touches of haunting modulating organ and Bernie Worrell-esque synth squeals, all while largely dispensing with traditional basslines. It’s an intoxicatingly moody (re-)arrangement, reflective of Photay’s uncanny ability to generate momentum and evoke stillness at once. And it’s reprised in a more stripped down iteration for his lovely Photay Lullaby Remix, which dials back the percussion and plays up a simple thumb piano melody from the song’s beautifully bridge for maximum emotional resonance.

Together these re-imaginations accomplish what every remix project ideally aspires to: present the songs in exciting new contexts while reaffirming one’s appreciation for the original material. Listen, relax, and stay a while longer.

All That I Need (feat. Sharin) (Photay Remix)

Conclave ft. Sharin - All That I Need (Photay Remix)

Because of our weekly 2-hour radio show, making and releasing mixes is something we don't get around to often. They tend to require too much energy and often end up feeling ephemeral, a drop in a bucket that's already full to the brim.

This 5.5 hour mix is a live recording from us, Paul Raffaele & Barbie Bertisch, DJing at 718 Sessions on Sunday November 21, 2021, a gig we recently played that meant a lot to us. Benny Soto and Danny Krivit will celebrate their 19th anniversary next week and the party has long served as a beacon of light in our world: a place to learn, be with chosen family, release the pressure and experience joy.

This lineup was originally booked for March 22, 2020 but it was cancelled due to COVID. Luckily, the same lineup was revived for the party's return to indoor dancing, taking place at Good Room in Brooklyn. This night was particularly special because it was the first time we would play 718 Sessions, our favorite party, as a duo.

In a pivot from what one might expect from our sets, we made a conscious effort not to play any Garage or Loft classics to widen the musical offering of the party and avoid overlap with Danny in the main room. Some mixes are great, some aren't, but in a bit of a protest to today's world digital perfection, we've kept it all in there and serves as a record for one of our favorite nights DJing together ever.

We recorded line in from the mixer but also the sounds of the room, blending music and crowd together and resulting in what you'll hear throughout the mix. It's an effort to capture some of the room's energy and not just a collection of songs one after the other.

Our style is representative of an amalgamation of the DJs we grew up listening to and studying, most intensely: Joaquin 'Joe' Claussell, François Kevorkian, Danny Krivit, Colleen 'Cosmo' Murphy, Louie Vega, Dope Jams, Theo Parrish, but there are many more. Thank you for the inspiration.

Following the release of Barbie Bertisch’s debut album Prelude in June 2022, Love Injection is thrilled to announce Prelude Remixes via Love Injection Records, which features six artists new to the label, kicking off with a two-track 12” single followed by a full digital release. Love Injection is the label and fanzine Bertisch runs with her partner, Paul Raffaele. The duo are romantic about remixes as an artform and always intended to have reinterpretations be the next phase after Prelude. Often reduced to ways to extend a hype cycle, or disjointed add-ons, Love injection’s remixes exist in dialogue with the artist’s songs.

Love Injection Radio 009 feat. Douglas Sherman

Download/Order Love Injection Issue 25 "The Shelter Issue" here: 
https://www.mostexcellentunlimited.com/collections/frontpage/products/love-injection-fanzine-25-various-formats

Son of jazz legend Johnny “Hammond’ Smith and singer Sonja Brown, BEAST621 aka “The Mad Monk of Mixing” was raised in the Bronx and exposed to all music genres from a very young age. As a teenager in the ‘80s, he patronized the Bronx Community Centers, the block and house parties, and the park jams where Hip Hop pioneers like Grand Master flash and the Furious 5, Kool Herc and the Herculoids, and Grand Wizard Theodore were making names for themselves. 

He saved up his earnings from a summer job at Pony Sports to purchase DJ equipment, built his own speakers, and started collecting music from there on, initially focusing on drum breaks. He went by the name of  “Grand Master Cool C”. As Hip Hop started to evolve, so did he. Hearing for the first time Larry Levan play on the Richard Long sound system at the Paradise Garage changed his perspective. Full songs were played, not just the break. From there on, his scratches and cuts grew into disco style blends. Lexxx “the listening experience” became his new musical nom de plume and his creative mixes were blends of music, sounds, and movie clips. 

Simultaneously, he was working security at NY clubs and afterhours. After hearing his maestro Timmy Regisford play one night, the Shelter became his home. The name “BEAST” stuck to him as he freely unleashed his love for the music. Often the first one at the club and the last to leave, he became a staple at Shelter. He’d sometimes worked the lights with Lil’ Ray and Ben Johnson. The name BEAST621 combines his strongest positive influences in life: The Shelter and his daughter’s birthday. His motto: “Find yourself before you can let yourself go!”

He has played parties alongside soulful house legends such as DJ Disciple, Spinna, Jellybean Benitez, Tyrone Francis, Adam Rios, Kim Lightfoot, Kalim Shabbazz, and many more.

Order Issue 25

Love Injection #25 "The Shelter Issue" A Tribute Mix by BEAST621

Taken from Conclave's debut single "Sunny" out Tuesday March 24, 2020.

Conclave is a gathering.
Conclave is a coming together.
Conclave is con clave, a unifying rhythm that is the key to unlock dances ancient and contemporary.
Conclave is Cesar Toribio and Scott Scribner, multi-instrumentalists whose alchemy is evident in the ebb and flow of their compositions, paradoxes of the delicate and powerful inextricably woven around the rhythm.

After a dozen live shows over the past couple years, the Brooklyn-based group take their first steps on vinyl with an impassioned cover of the soul standard “Sunny,” a song whose Latin Disco pedigree makes it the perfect canvas for the Dominican+New Yorker collaborators. An ethereal gospel choir lifts Toribio’s heartfelt vocals over twining guitar and keys that gradually build and eventually bubble over to ride a churning bass line into the heavens — Paradise, in this case, being a funked-up extended instrumental jam on the groove.

Seven Davis Jr. joins the circle for a flip side remix that is nothing short of stunning. Languidly paced, the sparse mix gradually grows in intensity with an unforced charm that lends a startling drama to the entrance of the rippling bassline a full three minutes in. When the keys finally arrive like a burst of light thru the clouds, the door to the dance has been fully thrown open and the listener’s transformation from bystander to part of the conclave is complete.

The release of “Sunny” is rounded out with an acapella, available on vinyl and digital, an enticement for future collaborators, perhaps. Conclave’s debut album will touch down summer 2020, but this Most Excellent 12-inch is certain to hold you over till then, and beyond.

Conclave - Sunny (Original Mix)

@conclave_music, the musical pairing of Cesar Toribio and Scott Scribner, will be releasing their new single “There’s Enough” on October 9th on the newly inaugurated Love Injection Records label.

This release comes on the heels of their 12-inch single, a thumping cover of the soul standard “Sunny,” whose Latin Disco pedigree makes it the perfect canvas for the Brooklyn-based duo. “There’s Enough” is the first single from their highly-anticipated full-length debut forthcoming in 2021. 

Cesar Toribio and Scott Scribner are both multi-instrumentalists whose alchemy is evident in the ebb and flow of their compositions, warm juxtapositions of the delicate and powerful inextricably woven around the living, breathing rhythm. The duo's chemistry runs more than decade deep, dating to their days at Berklee College Of Music, where the Dominican percussionist from Tampa and the NYC-bred bassist first met. As part of an ensemble that backed spoken word artists, the pair connected on a fundamental level and forged a path for future collaboration. There is a special, unspoken communication common to these rare pairs, an organic feel for the groove that can't be faked and is stoked by a mutual, primal understanding of rhythm and pocket. 

The musical inspiration for “There’s Enough” comes from a balancing act of incorporating Dominican rhythms, afro drumming, soulful melodies, jazz, and funk. The lyrics speak of being perceived as inadequate, despite our uniqueness showing otherwise; one’s own knowing that you are enough.. The duo explains why this release is so special, “‘There’s Enough’ is the best introduction to Conclave through our own original sound and song. It has a bit of everything that the forthcoming album will have: Afro-Caribbean rhythms, soul, funk, jazz, and improvisation” 

Though improvisation is key to their compositions, this is not vague, meandering music. Conclave gets to the point, resulting in sweaty, soulful invocations for the dance floor—music to get down to. A key fixture of the Brooklyn DJ community, Toribio’s studies of the dance floor turned him on to DJs and producers like Theo Parrish, Louie Vega and Osunlade, practitioners of soulful dance music with roots ranging from spiritual jazz to Afro-Latin rhythms. Conclave sets out to make unapologetically physical, body music informed by a thorough background inAfro-Latin sounds. And it is this type of spiritual dance music that they evoke, connecting the clave inherent in James Brown, Juan Luis Guerra and Joshua Redman and synthesizing it all into a thoroughly modern, irresistibly danceable dimension. 

Look out for more news and music from this steady rising duo as well as remixes by friends and mentors, a they head towards the release of their debut album on Love Injection Records (the name well-known for their quality fanzine self-distributed by Paul Raffaele and Barbie Bertisch)
