Feel The Heat

Following on from 2008’s critically acclaimed Stop, Space, Return, Crazy P return for their fifth studio album When We On, released September 27th through Smoke N´Mirrors (North America).

Alongside the wealth of brilliant remixes they have served up recently, When We On shows how far Crazy P have come since 2008. Whether it’s the anthemic ‘Beatbox’, with its freeform acapella work, grinding Prince—style guitar and haunting strings, the reflective ‘Eruption’, driven on by a rave piano figure and lead singer Danielle Moore’s plaintive cry of “Let me be the one you run to” or, at the other end of the scale, the Detroit techno-esque ‘Sonar’, with its increasingly frenetic payoff, this is an album packed full of potential singles. They might be crazy, but they sure know where the tunes are located.

“With Stop Space Return we wrote the majority of that as a band,” explains Jim Baron. “For this, we decided to strip it back to me and Toddy (Chris Todd. Guitar/Keys) writing with Danielle. We gave Danielle the Loop Station and she’s really taken to it. You can layer vocals, you can hear harmonies immediately, so she can jam along with us now. It shaped a lot of the vocal sound for the album. There’s a tune called ‘We Can Only Be Who Are’ which has big vocal layering, and there’s a lot of that. It’s probably a bit more… grown-up.” 

Chris expands on the theme: “We had quite a big year last year for lots of different reasons and we had difficulties too and I think a lot of the writing came out of that. It’s a little bit more reflective and thoughtful than previous albums.” 

For Danielle, it’s been a revelation in the way they work. “It was back to basics,” she says. “I’d have a go on the keyboards using two fingers or I’d have a go on the drum machine. It was like being at school or in a huge sandpit where you’ve been given loads of buckets to muck about with. We had a loop station as well which I’ve always been nervous of and this time it was like right let me have a go of this and it allowed me to record my vocals.”

For Danielle, the album narrative is the camaraderie between its protagonists. “Their friendship came through in creating this album. The way we worked created a lot of intimacy between us and a definite warmth to the album.” 

Despite the suggestions of melancholy from the band, and they certainly know how to emote when the moment’s right, they haven’t forgotten how to party. “We’re open for service, we’re open for love,” sings Danielle. Crazy, but true. 

Crazy P - Eruption

Fine Records is the collaborative product of Johannnes Albert (for Frank Music fame) and klamauk's Tilman. While the first release saw the producers joining forces, the second drop was a solo release from Tilman. For the third EP, Dancefloors & You & You, it is the Berlin-based Johannes' turn at the helm, and it is our pleasure to present to you the first cut off the record.

Johannes is no stranger to employing looped discofunk samples in his productions, and "All Around" certainly fits this mold.  The track builds on a heavy disco style kick / clap and layered percussion and a funky bassline. As the lead, an irresistible postdisco era sample repeats and rises to a filtered climax. The female lead vocals of the original are slightly teased in here a la Tiger & Woods before dropping back into the main groove. It's a sweet, feel good disco house track that's certain to motivate dancefloors.

PREMIERE : Johannes Albert - All Around

''It all started with a brief phone call and we discovered that we were only 10 minutes away from one another - so a future studio session with choice weed was long overdue. The 'Untouchable Funk' EP is what ensued as we shared, chopped, and arranged our sampled based textures into one creative space. We wanted to lay down beats that we could get right into for our culture and the clubs. Big Love out to Jesse Rose and Play It Down for taking this journey with us!' - DJ Sneak and Demuir

Funk Speech

SNATCH092  Soul Speech - Funk Speech (Original Mix) (SNIP)

COEO are Toy Tonics' lead artists and they don’t joke ! Technically perfect on a level that most producers start to get jealous. Musically filled up with so much knowledge about the history of Disco and House that it’s no wonder that big names like Kenny Dope, Borrowed Identity and Tensnake are huge fans. And their style...? It’s a pure hedonistic discoish attitude that combines the funk driven eclecticism of today, the curiosity of young music cats who always want to be ahead and a sense of quality in music that we miss in so many of today's house music productions. In fact it’s 2017 and a lot is changing in the House scene. The "old" melancholic deep house now is quite dead - while most Deep House charts are filled up with sample based Funk House. COEO are regularly on the top of the several Deep House charts, and there is a reason : their tracks have that kind of new, nasty, sexualised vibe that gets more inspired from the late 1990ies French touch house or early Masters at Work production. From Jazz DJ’s and DJ Sets of wildstyle DJ’s like Harvey or the Idjut Boys. It’s not any more about the old schematic Ketamine Deep House that always sounds the same (and makes your feet fall asleep). Listen to Flesh World ! It’s black music basically. It’s Booty sound. Disco for sure. This track gets you riding on a trip. Play it one time and you’ll play it every time. And check the percussion jam remix by Toy Tonics head Kapote premiered here !

Johannes Albert is coming out with some serious heat on his latest release on the FINE imprint. The EP “Lousy Livin’” isnt destined for lousy dancefloor behaviour.

The FINE label , who’s no stranger to being featured on Bolting Bits, is treating us to their 6th release with a 4-title EP from one of the label’s co-founder himself, Johannes Albert (aka J. Albert). If it’s a sign of anything, the Berlin-based label already ran out of stock from the sale of their 12” limited edition promo vinyl. The previous releases from the imprint also featured productions and collaborations from Tilman, the label’s co-honcho, and Italian producer Soutine. The releases on FINE have gathered a loyal following from dancefloor aficionados, as their titles showcase a wide-range of influences, from acid-house to disco, to fill up dancefloors around the world.

Johannes is an experienced and well-established producer who shows off his skills and talent on this EP. He remains true to what made his productions dancefloor successes: looped discofunk samples, heavy disco kicks and the strong presence of a funky bassline. The 1st track, “Covered Call” is a perfect example of why Johannes’s formula works. An uplifting looped disco sample track with a heavy kick and a funky bassline as its backbone. “Frisco Fun” follows suite with a similar formula, accompanied by percussions and muffled claps that embraces and bonifies the groove of the track. The third track, “Holyhead highness” is a proper bridge track when any respectable disc jockey is about to throw down some serious business, using a consistent groovy sampled loop, hi-hats and drum machine pattern providing a background beat. To round up the EP, “Duke Dynamics” is a thumpy 4-to-the-floor disco house track with added acid aesthetic bass-heavy kicks.

“Lousy Livin’” EP is set to be released on october 3rd 2017 on FINE. Mark it on your calendar. You can pre-order digital copies of the EP on FINE’s bandcamp page.

13th Hour Records presents its debut EP: a four track V/A celebrating both the pulse of the late-night dancefloor and the starry-eyed ride home. Two tracks from Subjoi forge the A-side, the vibrant yet moody “Make Me” taking the A1 slot and spacy, hi-hat bonanza “Doin’ Fine” at A2. And influenced by the bass-heavy vibrato of 70s funk, Ricky Razu kicks off the B-side with the infinitely groovable “Reaching Out,” followed by the sultry cut “Moonlight Jam” to close out the album.

SNATCH113 01. Till The Music Stops (Original Mix) - Soul Speech feat. Celeda (SNIP)

Bursting with flavour, Volume 3 of this Tartine Records various is made of 4 producers of different nationalities that come together to serve an international breakfast. Made of 4 delicious tracks that are perfect for dancing, it has been meticulously cooked for demanding dj's.

French local Tartine Records producer @john-tareugram continues to supply the label with his own vision of house music. 'Born Ready' is made of a perfect synthetic melody which John alone has the secret, a powerful bassline, a bouncing drumrack and lovely vocal samples. As B side's first track of Untartined Tapes Volume 3, it sounds fantastically fresh with no concessions. John can surely keep the keys of the label.

John Tareugram - Born Ready

Monki makes her DFTD debut with the highly-charged ‘Electricity EP’. After smashing her BBC Radio 1 residency, setting up her own record label &Friends, and joining the Defected crew for sets in Ibiza and Croatia, Monki’s dual single comes at a crucial moment for the presenter, DJ and producer, and certainly doesn’t disappoint. She throws down her signature bass-heavy and soul infused sound with ‘Electricity’, pairing prominent hi-hats with high impact build-ups. ‘ENG98’ echoes a classic house sound with uplifting piano moments and vocals loops, completing a seriously stomping release with a sound that translates from festival arenas to euphoric club moments.

It’s almost hard to believe that a record with anthem status like Pete Heller’s ‘Big Love’ was created out of a happy accident, but that is exactly how it happened. Left to his own devices as his studio partner Terry Farley left to watch a Chelsea game, Pete Heller was playing around with his Akai sampler when he produced what is arguably one of the most recognisable pieces of dance music of the 1990’s. Now this enduring classic has been remixed by Urbana Records boss and Spanish powerhouse producer David Penn. Modernised for 2019 dancefloors, Penn brings his signature rolling bassline and infectious groove to this club anthem, once again proving the timelessness of ‘Big Love’.
