2013

A few tunes, most but not all from the last couple of months, that have been keeping my ears happy.

April 2013

You can hear, in the songs of No Regular Play, hints at the sounds that inspired the duo to make music in the first place, and sonic whispers of the vast musical lexicon they share. Friends since the age of eight, Greg Paulus and Nick DeBruyn grew up listening to Native Tongues and underground hip-hop and jazz. That love of music never waned: the two traveled to Cuba together to study Afro-Cuban music and Paulus formally studied classical and jazz and toured with the band Beirut. That explains, then, why their output since they began releasing music in 2008 – mostly as part of the Wolf+Lamb collective – has so effectively married diverse sonic influences with smooth house. Nothing Less, their debut release on the HAKT label, very nearly glides through its four songs, bringing along elements and instruments give this release depth, richness and texture. 

On “Nothing Less,” the opener, Paulus plays trumpet against a backbeat that’s suddenly surrounded by cosmic synths and his own Prince-reminiscent vocals. Track two, “Night Ranger,” feels like an ‘80s summer night, with keys forming elegant patterns beneath Paulus’s vocals and sparse, mournful horns. “Ice Cold Bottle” toys with synthy funk, and fills out with murky keys, thumping beats and lyrics that are smirkily, playfully sleazy (And includes maybe the best lyric of late: “Don't bother with the bathing suit/’Cause that suit will drop.”) And “Indigo,” which starts off with stacks of handclaps and big bottomed bass, unexpectedly weaves in swooning cello and string swells that feel hopelessly romantic.

A1-Nothing Less

With release nr. 11, Luv Shack Records are once again eager to exalt the diversity of their releases, while keeping up the quality.

LUV011 is the split EP of the two up and coming electronic music duos "Manhooker" and "Space Echo". Whilst both projects are still relatively new to the scene, they have equally made a stir with their first releases.

Manhooker consists of the two Berliners by choice Tomasz “Guiddo” Switala and Sebastian “Mavin” Magassouba. Their first release appeared on Ostgut Ton´s sublabel 'Unterton' and their second EP was recently released on german heavy hitters 'Sonar Kollektiv' - a collab with ex New Yorker Snax, featuring a remix by Justus Köhncke.

With 'Pushin & Shovin', Manhooker are once again evoking the spirit of classic soulful house hymns. It's an uplifting mix of 90s organs, filtered arpeggios and thick drums all held together by an acid bassline and Mavin´s shimmering vocals. And not to forget the trumpet solo!

The remix of 'Pushin & Shovin' comes from Brazilian wunderkind ROTCIV (who has already remixed Manhooker on their Unterton release). He strips off the smoothness of the original in favor of a more raw and analogue vibe. Its groove seems like a merger of modern electro and classic house, and although ROTCIV´s trademark stabs and pads are used quite ecstatically on this remix, the song structure remains just as strong as in the original.

On The flipside we have Space Echo, the duo of Viennese producer caTekk and (Luv Shack`s very own) Lee Stevens. Their first ever production as a duo was a remix for none other than Austra on Domino Records.

They're offering two equally powerful cuts on the B-side; 'Soul Power' is nothing short of a club burner. A mighty and continuously building ride of funk organs and disco drums, all with a delightfully modern touch. When the vocal kicks in for the first time, ringing in the break, the audience will surely fall into a frenzy when exposed to it! The disco guitars are just the icing on the cake.

'Soul People' takes a slightly more sensual path. Expect dreamy rhodes, dubbed out percussive organs, an almost reggae worthy bassline, a painfully sweet vocal hook and a sharp rhythm that make this track a perfect choice for every warmup, after-hours and daytime set!

With all its ingredients, LUV011 will provide something for everyone who loves electronic music with soul!

It was late last fall when “Walk On”, the sophomore solo album by musical allrounder Arnold Kasar came out. Now, almost a year later, five of the twelve album tracks have been reworked and remixed over the last few months by a selected armada of DJs and producers from within or with close bonds to the Sonar Kollektiv family circle. 
The selection of these reconstructors here at work couldn't have been more diverse and hence more thrilling. Starting with Polish producer Guiddo (one half of the Sonar Kollektiv act Manhooker) carving “Dawning” – in the vocal as well as in the instrumental mix – into a Balearic gem straight out the mid-eighties. 
Also closely connected to Sonar Kolletiv for quite some time now is Moscow producer and whiz kid Phil Gerus, currently based in Tokyo. Previously known for his chillwavy, glitch downbeat, this time round Gerus turns “Dance To The Mallet” into a proper house tune with the common breakdown and 808 hi-hats. The same track has also been reworked by Pitto from Utrecht, Japanese producer Kazuki Yamaguchi aka Kez YM and Venice based DJ/producer Albert Marzinotto. Contrary to Phil Gerus, Pitto hauls Lisa Bassenge's (singer of the legendary Sonar Kollektiv act Micatone) voice completely to the foreground and accompanies her with vibes and a pulsating beat. It's in the same fashion Marzinotto gets to work, but his remix is directed more openly to the dancefloor, equipping it with a Chicago House aesthetic. Kez YM's remix pushes back Bassenge's vocals again, using them primarily as an euphoriant effect in this choicest deep house track.
On the other hand the remix for “Gone” by Robot Koch has nothing to do with club music. Here it's Arnold Kasar's voice duetting with Susan Pawlak which is sprinkled very cautious into  Koch's sombre dub electronics. For “So-Called Lover” we have Paskal & Urban Absolutes, Al Lindrum and Tubbe contributing three fantastic remixes. Whereas the one by Tubbe only partly uses the original material as a template, but still succeeds to deal fairly with Kasar's lyrics and therewith conjures almost a new song up out of nothing. To close this remix package rich in variety Paul “Snax” Bonomo attaches a finale like a thunderbolt. His remix (BonomoLeMagass) for “Masquerade” (somehow connects all the loose joints of every form of house music of the last 30 years. That's why there's also the dub version included, paying tribute to Acid House furthermore. This alone is worth the purchase of this brilliant collection.

Stanislav Lukoyanov, aka 5 Reasons, is a 16 year old Russian producer from Moscow. He first made hip hop instrumentals for independent artists before turning towards nu-disco in 2012. In his search for a new inspiration, he looked into his father's record collection and started composing his own disco tunes. 
After releasing several tracks on various labels, he is now presenting his latest production "Night Drive In Moscow". This time, 5 Reasons created a very unique atmosphere by mixing mysterious vibes with a real disco feel. 
The vocals by the talented American singer Patrick Baker add the final touch to this remarkable piece. 
The release also includes two remixes: one by the very promising Mexican producer Bronx, and the other by a major artist of the nu-disco scene, Satin Jackets.

Out April 8th on Shiny Disco Club
