Over the past 6 years WOLF Music have earned their stripes as stalwart purveyors of refined House and Disco. Now, in the follow up to Medlar and Greymatter’s debut LPs and EPs from the likes of Ishmael, Ossie and Casino Times they ready their 3rd LP from Dutchman Frits Wentink.

Now residing in Amsterdam, Frits has a glowing back catalogue of soulful, Lo Fi club material that’s touched Heist Recordings as well as WOLF in the form of his ‘Mouse’ and ‘Goose’ EPs. With an experimental approach to hardware and instrumentation, his work blooms naturally through jams and improv and in this - his debut LP: ‘Rarely Pure, Never Simple’ we see a development in this experimentation to enlivening effect.

Working with a meld of grubby samples, chunky percussion and the frequent vocal accompaniment of Utrecht based Loes Jongerling, Rarely Pure Never Simple is a journey through Frits’ influences forged into a cohesive pack of grooves and interludes tinged with a certain charming nostalgia.

A cinematic blend of jazz, trap, and soul — smoky horns, low lights, and slow-burn storytelling.
This one feels like closing time in an old lounge: the glass half-empty, the room still spinning, and the truth still sitting heavy.

Lyrics :

SoulWoman 

[Verse]
She's got fire in her step lightning in her stare
Her laugh shakes the room like a storm in the air
Every word she says cuts through like a blade

[Prechorus]
She's the sun on a winter day
The rhythm in the chaos sway

[Chorus]
SoulWoman SoulWoman
She’s the answer to the night
SoulWoman SoulWoman
Burning stars with her light

[Verse 2]
She walks like the wind whispers secrets untold
Her smile’s a treasure chest more precious than gold
She’s the dance in the rain the calm in the storm

[Prechorus]
She’s the moon when the sun has fled
A melody stuck inside your head

[Chorus]
SoulWoman SoulWoman
She’s the spark in the fight
SoulWoman SoulWoman
Painting shadows with her light

Lyrics :

Never Again 

[Verse]
I saw the truth in a broken frame
Shards of glass spelling out your name
The air was heavy the room stood still
Your shadow whispered against my will

[Chorus]
Never again will I walk that line
Never again will I call you mine
The scars are maps but they don’t guide
Never again to the dark I’ll slide

[Verse 2]
The clock kept ticking but the hands were slow
Your promises melted like summer snow
I wore your lies like a paper crown
But the rain came fast and it all fell down

[Prechorus]
I’ve burned the pages I’ve cleared the slate
No more love dressed up as fate

[Chorus]
Never again will I walk that line
Never again will I call you mine
The scars are maps but they don’t guide
Never again to the dark I’ll slide

[Bridge]
Fool me once I’ll take the blame
Fool me twice it’s not the same
Your words were wolves dressed up as sheep
But I’m awake no more to weep

Never Again

Uplifting beats to get you through the final winter months.

Title: Endless Light LP
Cat. No. TARTALB008

Tartelet Records is 10. To celebrate a decade in the cut, they're out a home run of new material from label mainstays & fresh signings in 2018. To kick things off, the label is enormously proud to set free Endless Light –– a new record from Oakland newcomer Space Ghost.
Coming on like a brainchild to Dam Funk & Mutant Beat Dance, Ghost's sound falls off the shelf between a number of distinct reference points: Lone's early tropical synaesthetics; the modern funk of Funkosphere; the intimate tapes out of PPU. In a sea of Soundcloud copycats, he's a revelation.
Endless Light is a record with an open hand: an instantly appealing sound from a new producer with a highly-tuned ear. Born of his collection of antique synths & drum machines, the Space Ghost experience channels a deep heritage of 1980s funk minimalism & analogue boogie. Velvet pads, hood-rat sleaze & heaped spoonfuls of soul.    
				                                              											             Never overly reverential or nostalgic, the record looks forward to a strange, bright future. Its sweeping sci-fi synths & twinkling sound design recall Lone or Dorian Concept's first outings into cosmic psychedelia. "Cosmic Cave" packs enormous ambient vistas into a bejewelled miniature. Frosty interlude "After Hours While It Rains Outside" touch the same cold nerve as Vangelis on Blade Runner. The gently vocoded love jam "Strong Heart" could've even fallen out of the Stranger Things playbook.
And there's heat for the club too. Nearly all the low swung beaterludes pick up into skippy house sketches & loping dancefloor cuts. Rather than squeeze into club music's often taut wireframes, tracks like "Colour Waves" & "Following A Vision" dance effortlessly between time signatures. Cruising gems "Endless Light" & "Aquatic Speedway" even go full hilt into the lush domain of vintage Burrell Brothers productions.
Throughout, Space Ghost stands out from the mounds of music today defined by lo-fi aesthetics. These are twelve enchanting cuts from a producer who has barely pulled back the curtain on his prowess. Supreme tip for 2018.
