Majorettes are proud to present Volume 1 of a three part remix project of their greatest hits, exploring underground sounds of some of the producers and artists they hold near and dear.

Produced in the depths of quarantine and finally slated for release, Majorettes’ new single “The Waves”. Born from a journey inspired a documentary on the art of sampling, the track was an ongoing project which became a lifeline for Majorettes throughout the long days of the pandemic in the absence of playing out and organizing parties which are so core to the group and the wider Brooklyn house scene they are figureheads of. 

Enlisting three rising peers and producers to rework their original, the trio have curated a stellar EP package to soundtrack fall 2022 and beyond, with some of the most exciting and ones to watch talents in the international underground house scene hailing from Mexico, Colombia and Brooklyn respectively. 

Por Detroit resident and Mexico City upstart Kodemul, delivers a body shaking, exhilarating rework pumped full of energy, rhythmic swirls and fills, and a spell-binding breakdown worthy of any dance floor. “We were blown away by Kodemul’s style and production from the moment we met and many of his tracks have become staples in our sets recently so it was only fitting that we got him on board for this project”. 

Colombian artist, producer, and DJ, ELO, also know as Leeon, is an integral part of Medellín’s dance scene as well as the American underground at large. His rave brake with such grace that it feels extremely fresh and like an old friend at the same time. “While hanging out in the field at Glasontbury’s Block9 this past summer nerding out over each others new productions we knew it would be perfect to have him bring his impeccable style to “The Waves”. 

Brooklyn-based artist PH Balanced takes “The Waves” into an ethereal realm with bubbling vocal effects, pungent pads, and plenty of twists and turns that are smooth, sexy and surprising all at once. “Everyone always ask to hear the PH Balanced remix over and over, you just don’t want it to end. He has such a unique presence in our scene here as both a dj and producer and we can’t wait for the world to soak up his brilliance”.

2023 ushers in a new era of artists beyond Majorettes and the future is looking bright. Our first release brings together an original from UK-based producer, Jamie S, paired with a remix from Major Records label-head and Bunker artist, Justin Cudmore.

With Signals, Jamie S lets us know he is in the driver's seat and he has his foot on the gas. Having been an avid record collector from the tender age of 15, Jamie’s knowledge of many genres in house music runs deep. He has over the years put on his own parties in his hometown of Blackpool in the UK and became a weekly resident at Wired in Wellington, New Zealand.  On Signals, Jamie's pulsing rhythms coupled with the evolution of stabs he lays down will attest to his passion for house. Pay attention to the signs if you wanna go for a ride! 

Justin takes charge with a remix that’s already been burning up floors around NYC. From the very start you know this is gonna be a heater; tough metallics swirl in giving way to a heavy club kick and we’re immediately sucked in. Throw in some gorgeous stabs with a bit of acid and Justin delivers a remix straight outta Brooklyn and ready for the world.

Jacob Meehan, a native of Roodhouse, Illinois (population 1,700) cut his chops in Chicago, the home of house, while working at Gramaphone Records and throwing/playing parties in and around the city. A major player in the new queer underground, he now resides in Berlin where he has furthered his musical prowess as producer and resident DJ of the much-beloved fête, Buttons, and the epic summer standout, Whole Festival. 

Major Records is pleased to feature the very first single release from Meehan, featuring a remix by our very own Nita Aviance. "Hier" started out with a nod to the forefathers, referencing David Morales and Frankie Knuckles mix of Alison Limerick's "Where Love Lives,” but quickly grew into a deep house dream full of funky synth leads and anthemic arpeggios all layered over some kicky-fresh beats. 

Nita’s remix strips it all down only to build it back up again, leaning into the arpeggios and riding those new wave synths through the dark night and straight into the dawn with her signature diva vocal cut-ups.

Our final release of 2023 has Michoacán-born, CDMX-based DJ/producer Don Esquivel delivering two high-energy tunes guaranteed to get the party PUMPING. The Por Detroit (LA/CDMX) resident’s honest approach to house & techno in all its variants has seen his hardware productions signed to labels such as Muy Muy limited (Los Angeles), Amplio Espectro (Buenos Aires), Discos Sentimiento (CDMX), and Get up! Recordings (New York).

First brought to our attention when Paurro played an early version at Somos Festival, we immediately saw the power “Saltando!" had over the crowd. Limitless energy emanates from the speakers with an almost feverish abandon which guaranteed this nasty banger a spot in many of our club and festival sets this past year. Begging for more, “Dick Energy” carries the party down to the waistline with red-light lusciousness and saccharine sleaze. Hot, sexy, wet, and wild, we here at Major Records are beyond thrilled to pass the ravings on to you!

Don Esquivel - Saltando!

Native New Yorker, John Yienger lands on Major Records’ first release of 2024 with a track that stylishly balances our love of old rave nostalgia and fresh, propulsive modern house music. “Think For Yourself” will bring any dancefloor to new heights with pure energy and excitement from the very first beat. 

Paired with it, Sekucci delivers a stripped-down, darker, and psychedelic remix of Yienger’s single that creeps up on you until you realize you are deep inside a complex and self-propelling groove. With eerie beauty matching breathless sweat, this release has left us wanting to hear more from both of these exciting talents.

Continuing with Spring releases, Canetis lands on Major Records with “Gas Money”, including a remix by Major alum Josh Steers. Mark Mannara is a house music producer and DJ born in Rome and grew up in Milan before making his way to New York.

Canetis’ single, “Gas Money”, is a stomp-heavy, energetic hustle with a lot of attitude that recalls a 90s-era bitch-track sound, incorporating the art of utilizing voicemail recordings in the production process. The sexiness of the percolating percussion enveloped with sharp and precise stabs is sure to gas you up.

Josh Steers’ remix unfolds the original, bringing the elements together in an ultra-modern, playful, and sinister fuel-up that hits with old-school surprises. This EP is bound to propel the perfect bounce to gas up the dance floor.

Longlost, the collaboration between Shaun J. Wright, Kevin McHugh (aka Ambivalent and LA-4A), and The Juan MacLean brings together three unique artists on “Faded Pictures”. The gorgeous subtlety of the track production hypnotizes and drives the body as a haunting, bittersweet vocal about lost love floats through your mind. Alinka delivers a huge and exciting remix for the biggest rooms out there with peak-time expressions of the moments and experiences that stick with you, reminding you to dance your heart out.

Two great tastes that taste great together? Well, Yes! 

Berlin-based Jacob Meehan and New York-based Physical Therapy join forces for an extra special collaboration on this latest release. 

"Deeesire" is such a ray of sunshine and has been a major hit on tour and in NYC as it’s playful and longing vocals work just as well spinning around in the dark as they do embracing the dawn.

Bouffant Bouffant was the natural choice for a remix, bringing the sounds of New Orleans to the mix with soaring brass and throbbing drums.

"Little Snack" shimmers and sparkles in its sonic texture while Peter Pressure (one of Physical Therapy’s many monikers) adds some disco vocal sexiness for his Cosmic Brownie Edit.

Midland takes us even deeper in his dub, evoking the dark and steamy vibes of legendary dance den, the NYC Downlow. Fully transported, his driving bass and piano stabs carry us through a crowd of sweaty revelers towards the front of the stage to witness the divas telling it “like it is”
