DJ Aakmael - Other Realms Ep Snippet

Via Matt McDermott for resident Advisor reviews:

"I'm a true believer in the importance of not losing touch with the roots of a genre," Michel Baumann, AKA Soulphiction, told 5 Mag last year. This reverent tone flows through the music Baumann released over his 30-year-career, a trove of top-notch deep and minimal house tracks that are still being revealed even after he succumbed to cancer last month.

A new EP from Jonna and Javonntte, featuring remixes from Soulphiction and Marcellus Pittman, presents an opportunity to look over Baumann's role within the tradition of deep, soulful house. On the original version of "Jus Move," Javonntte, the underrated and diverse Detroit producer and vocalist, teams up with Jonna for an effortless and richly musical vocal house track. Rhodes chords hang in the air, perfectly enmeshed with Javonntte's soulful tenor.

It's those blue piano chords that form the basis for Baumann's dreamy, contemplative remix. Baumann developed his taste for house music as a DJ and record store employee in Stuttgart around the time the Berlin Wall came down. Throughout his career, whether referencing Electrifying Mojo or Larry Levan, he pursued a respectful homage to the Black roots of house. For his remix of "Jus Move," it sounds like he loaded the original Rhodes stems into the MPC, applied a light-touch cut-up method and some filtering to the bassline. The track achieves a dusty, bittersweet feel that's been attempted by many but accomplished by few outside of the Motor City.

The second half of that quote up top went, "... the history of house influences huge parts of my DJ sets opposed to playing my own tracks." It's safe to say Baumann would have been caning the Marcellus Pittman remix. The Unirhythm head comes up with his own catchy piano line and monster bassline, notching up another classic for the Detroit beatdown sound. As a whole, the record feels poignant, celebratory and timeless. When this release came together, no one knew Baumann would pass away before it came out. However, it's clear that he would have been proud to be featured alongside these artists, a small society of house heads who believe in the healing, authentic power that courses through this music.

In this album, Donnie Moustaki https://soundcloud.com/donniemoustaki takes us on a pleasure cruise through space. This journey, paced by a buttery flow, will guide you through a sea of cosmic jazziness and wonky grooves. 

After a smooth launch with ‘Honey & Butter’, one of the finest cuisine will be brought to you by none other than Le Grand Détournement, in a collaborative effort with Donnie. ‘Tous Ensemble’, supported by a house beat with a heavy groove, will set you in the mood for the remixes coming next by the very talented SofaTalk, Scruscru and Last Nubian.

If you’re looking for a complex work, SofaTalk delivers a hefty rework of ‘Space Jam’ paced by broken rhythms and synthesizer licks. 

If you’re looking for a dance floor track, the ‘Space Jam’ remix by Scruscru is made for you. Upbeat and joyful. 

Last Nubian brings to the table a heavy club remix of ‘Space Jam’, driven by 808s and his signature dissonant harmonies. 

The album ends on sample-filled, powerful ‘Space Jam’ remix by Berlin based producer Von Abseits. This well crafted work closes the album on a soothing yet slightly mysterious note, nodding at the narrative side of this album.

Lumberjacks in Hell has been founded in 2010. Intimate Friends followed in 2013. For some people the difference or the need for distinction between these two is quite evident but to give you an idea. Lumberjacks is always 100% for the dance floor, inspired by the music from Chicago and Detroit which is not only reflected in the Artists we release. Intimate Friends is a headier affair. Soul, Hip Hop and House are all fair game. If you check the releases next to each other both labels have a distinct sound. And maybe a certain BPM range. This isn't saying that some of the music couldn't have appeared on either label but somehow it all makes sense to me. Thanks for supporting the music and artists we are releasing and don't hesitate to get in touch! We love to hear from you,

Marcel Vogel, Amsterdam 2017
