Really groovy, i love it ! Thank you for this beautiful track !!

When it comes to Disco-infused music, Nottingham-based producer Lanowa hits the spot! With a string of well-crafted productions released on the respected French label Citizens of Vice, his work has been backed up by important artists such as Dream Chimney, Ashley Beedle, Pete Herbert, PBR Streetgang, and Fred Everything.

Utilising soulful vocal samples, live instruments, and low-slung beats, Lanowa has crafted four beautiful original cuts for his forthcoming release that will only further enhance his growing reputation for creating music that brings a smile to your face and your feet to the dance floor.

“Thrill Me” is that kind of release that needs a cold drink to be slowly sipped while you appreciate the sophisticated sonority of the EP. What about a mojito? The traditional Cuban highball would be more than ideal to pair with Lanowa’s “Mojito”, whose recipe contains beautiful vocals, a stunning saxophone layer, a mellow piano lead, and a smooth synth pad as main ingredients. It’s simply delicious!

A personal tip for an impeccable mojito: Forget Bacardi and Havana Club. Go for Mount Gay Eclipse Silver Rum.

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://covofficial.bandcamp.com/

PREMIERE199 // Lanowa - Mojito

Marzattack joins the Feedasoul Records family with a bumping two-tracker, 'Totem'. The EP title track brings a movement-inducing rhythm section that perfectly compliments the soulful keys and woodwind section. The vocal samples and percussion sit beautifully in the mix, highlighting Marzattack's afro-latin influence within that deep, soulful house spectrum.
On the flip side, 'Green House' lays down a driving rhythm, with flaring hi hats, rolling percussion and swanky vocal chops. A guaranteed driver on the dance floor.

APPAREL PREMIERE: MarzAttack - Green House [Feedasoul Records]

At the beginning of the 90s a new music wave was emerging in Italy. Inspired by an innate sense of freedom and experimentation, a generation of Italian DJs and producers envision the sound of the future. The movement was fueled by the turmoil of the club scene and record shops. With all the planets aligned an invasion of celestial bodies occurred.

New York’s indie disco freaks Phenomenal Handclap Band are back with a second single on Toy Tonics: "Jail". With remixes by Detroit’s Waajeed and Marcel Vogel of Lumberjacks in Hell. Including a club edit by Toy Tonics head honcho Kapote.

The band was responsible for one of Toy Tonics' biggest tracks in 2018: "Judge Not". The Ray Mang versions became a hit on open minded dancefloors around the globe. With support from DJs like DJ Harvey, Cassius and Gilles Peterson (who put it in his „best tracks of the year“ list) but also more house DJs like Berlin’s Keinemusik Crew, Soundstream or Superpitcher.

The band members are kind of heroes to many connoisseurs of the funk/ disco scene. The band leader Daniel Collas was playing keys in Amy Winehouse' legendary backing band. Other members are connected to Mark Ronson’s crew or San Francisco's Stones Throw universe.. just to give you the bigger picture. With Phenomenal Handclap Band they blend the unique vibe of 1970ies Power-Soul in the tradition of Charles Stepney and Rotary Connection with today’s new disco vibe. Parcels, Toro Y Moi, Roosevelt are not that far.

Important fact: All played live, no samples. Mixed by the champs at DFA. The band is part of Toy Tonics’ masterplan to expand their dancevibes into more live played scenarios.. stepping out of the strict DJ context. 

Fun fact: Paul McCartney wrote the band a letter saying how much he loved their music when he first heard the band on BBC Radio 1.

The latest transmission from the Lumberjacks stable taps up London-based producer Alan Dixon, who tackles a soul-stirring gospel belter from Frank Booker on the A side. Whatever your spiritual persuasion, "Rise & Shine" can't help but inject a little joy into your life. On the flip, Dixon turns the piano house power up to 11 with the life-affirming thrust of "Whatcha Gonna Do", featuring Maleke O'Ney on vocal duties. Completing the set, Lumberjacks head honcho Marcel Vogel drops in a remix that twists the original into a loose and limber jazz-funk-house odyssey of epic proportions.

All profits go towards NAACP - thanks for your support

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
