Malik Hendricks has carved a place for himself in the New York City club scene with a string of carefully composed releases on musclecars' Coloring Lessons imprint and his own Money Cat Records, each full of gems mined on the line of deep house and deep listening.

Malik continues this run with "Blue Flame", his debut on NYC label Bliss Point. "Blue Flame" finds Malik in full control of his craft, offering an alchemy of warm, in-the-pocket house grooves, live instrumentation and sparse, soulful vocals that build masterfully toward dance floor catharsis.

Joining Malik on Blue Flame is Amsterdam based producer Retromigration for a remix of “Love Story”. Retromigration has built a name for himself with jazz and soul inflected house cuts on esteemed labels Wolf Music, Rhythm Section, and others.

Artist Bio:
Malik Hendricks is a rhythmically inclined aesthetic enthusiast born in the 80's, and raised in the 90's. A DJ for over a decade, he has always approached music with a rigorous curiosity and views the dance floor as the ideal arena for collective cultural appreciation. He is based in Brooklyn, New York.

PREMIERE: Malik Hendricks - People [Bliss Point]

Silky smooth house vibes from Retromigration as you would imagine. Intricate synth & sax riffs combine with perfectly timed vocal snippets to give a lush A side that wouldn’t feel out of place on KDJ.
The Earl Jeffers remix adds a bit more beef to the situation, bringing chunky Omar S style kicks for a dubbed out chunkier rework of the original. ‘Stop the Presses’ is an anthem! Ridiculous vocal work and smooth as you like shuffled beats provide the perfect setting for an absolute summer slayer. ‘You & Dion’ jacks the tempo up a notch and uses arpeggiated bass-lines and classic Retromigration wind instrument sounds to amazing effect.

Nightlife In NYC EP
Cat - XPRESS73
Label - The Disco Express
Format - Digital
Release Date - Friday 12th June
Bandcamp - https://ethicaldrift.bandcamp.com/album/nightlife-in-nyc-ep

New York disco punk coming in hot! Born and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida we're delighted to welcome artist Jonathan Tyler Paul aka Ethical Drift aboard The Disco Express.

Inspired by Talking Heads and LCD Soundsystem, Ethical Drift fuses jazz with modern disco, punk and house vibes. Pushing the limits of live and recorded music, Ethical Drift is known for high energy, eclectic performances that move the bounds of Indie Disco and House Music.

"I always loved Indie bands that rode the line of Disco, House, or Jazz adjacent. I’m trying to reflect that with a certain style that is both preppy and punk tinged across the entire Ethical Drift entity." he says with a cheeky grin.
____________

The incredibly unique Nightlife In NYC EP is a mark of Ethical Drift's quality. Its brilliantly irreverent attitude and genre-bending crossover of styles are a testament to his creativity as a bourgeoning artist.

Sowing together the EP is Parisian house producer Larry G. His piano heavy bass bouncing remix is the perfect union of New York Indie Disco and French Touch.
____________

A fashion model for the likes of Vogue Italy, Alexander Wang and many more, JP has also been integral to bands like Basic Vacation who released on Capitol Records and Troy Carter’s Atom Factory Music. A former member of The Nectars, JP was part of two fiery European tours that became fabled in the NYC third-wave post punk scene.
