Nu Shoes EP

Shawn Ward - Nu Shoes (Original Mix)

The Check In brings us 006 by Duncan Thomas. Anyone operating in the world of deep minimal groovers have heard the whispers and tales of his genuinely unique grooves, blurring the lines of deep and soulful to light-hearted and bouncy.

Hard synth stabs and a punchy drum grooves open the EP through the A1 Espresso Tonic, a deep roller which is seductively euphoric. Then into Movin’ To The Sound which brings out the jazzy side of Duncan Thomas with synth licks and floaty chord progressions.

Flip over and you land on See You Never which leans to the festival forrest with heavy swing, a driving lead and laser sounding synth chords. Followed by the B2 Hello Out There which closes off the EP and is easily the most soulful of the four cuts. The repeating chord stabs are undoubtedly nostalgic and the bass-line routes the nostalgia to the dance floor. This is a sunrise groove if ever there was one.

PREMIERE: Duncan Thomas - Hello Out There [The Check In]

Infectious tune from 1990 that'll get anyone moving. Pity this wasn't more popular at the time, but a record like this needs a revival. Produced by Eric Kupper, a NY Garage House legend well known for his collabs with the late great Frankie Knuckles and their 'Director's Cut' mixes. The record contains 6 tracks but these two, especially the Club Mix takes the cake. 

Sex And The Single Girl - All I Want To Do (Is Dance) (Club Mix) [1990]

His mind wandered from time to time. From this to that and back again.

His perceptions danced atop a fragile sense of perspective, he wondered if he might ever regain the right to reality. For every thought was a maze, a whirlwind in which to become lost in the fog of the morning.

Whether he could be trusted was another thing.

There wasn't much else for it but to try.

Slump Recordings continues to grow from strength to strength. Now a prominent force in a new wave of House music with progressive, deep rooted sensibilities. There's plenty of fun to be found on this one from SY but this slightly deeper cut was what caught our ear.

• VA ─ 𝘝𝘖𝘓 𝘐︱𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 •

Today’s premiere comes from a label that puts meaning at the center of the music.

𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗳𝗮𝗱𝗮 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗱𝘀 is a non profit label based in London, using underground electronic music to amplify political struggles and support those affected. Their first release brings together 33 international artists who stand in solidarity with the people of Lebanon. All profits go directly to displaced families impacted by the ongoing war, with the help of Beirut Synth Center, who provide direct support on the ground.

Our spotlight today is on 𝗢𝗰𝗰𝗶𝗯𝗲𝗹, one of France’s most consistent producers that’s been shaping the French underground with his deep, emotional approach to club music. His track 𝘓𝘦𝘵 𝘔𝘦 𝘋𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘮 is subtle but striking: dreamy pads, groovy percussion, and a mood that gently floats between melancholy and hope.
