Escola Records is back in the game with their second release, a Broken Beat & futuristic Deep House odyssey. 
On the first side Karmasound & Sara Bee open the EP with the uplifting soulful summer anthem “Esperándote,” full of choppy live drums, jazzy keys and sweet, melodic vocals.

Next, musclecars deliver a dreamy remix of “Esperándote,” putting a futuristic twist on classic soulful NYC deep house. Lush and sensual, with a beautiful vocal outro, the remix has a warmth reminiscent of nighttime summer heat.

“Trencacintures” (“waist breaker”) is the second original track of the EP, by Barcelona’s JP Sunshine & Guim. The title of the track is a playful reference to its “broken” rhythm. Magical keys and intergalactic pads create a cosmic atmosphere on this fun tune.

On remix duties we find the house producer Hugo LX taking the original on a deep excursion to the dance floor, adding breaks that make the track irresistibly groovy.

MIMS presents the exclusive premiere of “Autumn 2021” by underground hip hop producer and LA beat scene pioneer, Free The Robots. The track is a fresh drum-laden rework of Italian library classic, “Autumn 2001”, by Italian jazz pianist and electronic music pioneer Gianni Safred, and is forthcoming on Four Flies Records.

Four Flies Records, a Rome-based label, has been at the forefront of rescuing vintage Italian soundtracks and library music since its launch in 2015. They have rediscovered and made available previously unreleased or lesser-known music by renowned Italian composers such as Piero Umiliani, Alessandro Alessandroni, Giuliano Sorgini, and Silvano D’Auria, among others. These findings have made their way into the homes of record collectors, as well as the wider public, including on Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and TV shows like Good Girls and Guillermo Del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities.

With the recent release of Piero Umiliani’s ‘Discomania (Jolly Mare Lifting)’, Four Flies Records has launched RELOVED, a vinyl series where contemporary DJs and producers rework tunes from Italian golden age soundtracks and library music. The aim of the series is to spark a conversation between past, present, and future, joining the dots between Italy’s great film and library-music tradition and a global scene of forward-thinking producers.

The 7” releases are co-curated by fellow independent label Little Beat More, who stated, “We're giving new life to music from some of the greatest Italian composers of the past. It's all about sampling, and that's why we decided to involve not only electronic producers but also highly talented beat makers, and we decided to focus mostly on the 7-inch format which is so popular among hip hop lovers. It's a project with no boundaries. The producers and beat-makers involved come from all over the globe.”

The first release in this series is the 7” ‘Autumn 2001 / Autumn 2021,’ with an original track from Italian jazz pianist and electronic music pioneer Gianni Safred and a rework from musician, DJ, and beatmaker Free The Robots. Free The Robots said about the release: "The sounds used back in the 60's and 70's are partly where I model my own sound and many Italian bands from the era played a big role in the inspiration of my music. To add to the narrative is really just the continued preservation of classic sounds, re-told and flipped in my own way as a producer of this era. My take on Autumn 2001 was more a drum heavy, loopy and spaced out approach to the original song".

Chris Alfaro, aka Free the Robots, is one of the key figures of the West Coast experimental beats scene, a movement that has changed beat making globally, and forever. He is a musician, beatmaker, and DJ known for his ability to jump in and out of different sonic worlds, creating a unique signature sound blending electronic, hip hop, jazz, and psychedelia. His free-flowing imagination keeps his productions constantly moving forward – away from robotic monotony, ultimately freeing the robots. He continues to build his lineup of original recordings in unpredictable directions. The energy and technical skill behind his live performances have landed him a place among the greats, sharing stages with the likes of Flying Lotus, DJ Shadow, and DJ Krush.

Both the 7” vinyl and digital editions of ‘Autumn 2021 / Autumn 2001’ are due for release on 31 March on Four Flies Records.

Exclusive Premiere: Free The Robots "Autumn 2021" (Forthcoming on Four Flies)

Tom Manzarek | 17.11.23

PRE-ORDER: https://www.juno.co.uk/products/frits-wentink-vertiqua/666438-01/

Frits Wentink's next release on his own Bobby Donny label finds him editing some tracks he has been playing on his radio show for a while. They are originally by Vertiqua, a German lo-fi hip hop producer that remains unknown.
The vinyl only record is limited to 500 copies.
All four of these tracks have been edited to make them more suited to the dance floor. The a side comes as an edit that is all about woozy chords and loose, bumpy drums with a rapped vocal stitched deep into the arrangement. It's warm and intake for cosy dance floors.The B1 has organic boom bap drums and kicks, more tape delayed chords and a nice analogue feel all finished with a wordless but beautifully soul-infused vocal.
Last of all, the louche drums of on B2 are coated in vinyl crackle and laced up with more intoxicating and imperfect chords.
This is a perfectly aged combination of hip hop and house that will get any floor bouncing. Limited 12 Inch hand numbered vinyl.

Lowkey presents Herb Rhythm

Next up is DJ Caspa, the London based DJ and radio host that's been through many eras of dance music, and deep in the scene for over 20 years. 
 
His record bag knows no bounds, with a fusion of deep house, minimal and 90's pumpers it's easy to see why he is respected in the underground as much as he is. A true digger and all round nice guy, get your ears round this!

MIMS would like to wish the ever-on-it Wot Not label a happy 10th birthday. And to celebrate, we are premiering "Without You", a sublime slice of broken soul by Beringei, featuring William Florelle.

Beringei made his mark on debut 'The People, The Place'. The producer returns this April 9th with the deeper ’Without You’ EP.  Drawing on soulful melodies, low-slung house and broken beat grooves, and R&B-flavoured bass lines to create a simultaneously forward yet nostalgic sound.

Revolving around the theme of adapting to change, the EP deals with turning negatives into positives, after the artist struggled through injury and mental-health related issues in 2019, putting him in a good place to help others deal with the troubles of 2020.

At the center of the EP, and one of it's higher tempo pieces, likes the woozy, body moving, broken beat sounds of "Without You", aided by frequent collaborator and multi-talented labelmate, William Florelle.
