John Johnson & Greyloop - Time Capsule Vol.2  (East Cafe Remix) | 238°West 238W002

What happens if you take 3 great jazz musicians, put them in recording studio, and throw electronic music at them?

This project was an experiment into exactly that, with my long running collaborator Kathrin deBoer on vocals, and the greatest trumpet player I've yet to hear - Quentin Collins, with Jack Stevens on bass for this one track from the EP too. 

We made some recordings where Kathrin and Quentin played at the same time, which was really interesting - I love the way you can hear Kathrin and Quentin almost talking to each other during the track, they sort of imitate and bounce off each other as they go along. They were having a lot of fun during the recordings and I think it comes through.

The fun we were having making the recordings was aided by the fact that Gearbox records (who are releasing the EP 6th Oct on vinyl, and 3rd Nov on digital) had provided Mark Ronson's recording studio for us to work in, so it was a pleasure all round.

There are 3 more tracks to come from the release, 2 ambient, and one absolute abomination where I wanted to see what would happen if I made the most f*&ked up track I could and then asked them to improvise over it - more clips and info coming soon.

If you want to catch Quentin Collins playing, he does regular gigs in London at Ronnie Scotts, amongst other places. And Kathrin deBoer has also launched a new solo project under her name, which is also touring and highly recommended.

The 41st release on Darin Epsilon's Perspectives Digital sees the debut of legendary DJ and promoter Freddy Be.  A genuine staple in LA, Freddy has been delivering great music and first-rate events on the west coast since the early 90's.  From the legendary Monday Social parties, which celebrates its 20th year as North America's longest running weekly house music event, to his awe-inspiring Earthdance festivals ('97-'03), his tireless efforts have been instrumental in defining the progress of Southern California's dance music culture.

His exceptional track selection and expertly paced sets have allowed him to land residencies at Exchange LA, Audio SF, and Sound Nightclub, as well as tour across the nation to perform at major festivals including Coachella, Desert Hearts, BPM, and Minus Zero.

In addition to DJing, Freddy Be's productions have led him to collaborations with various well known LA based producers including Trent Cantrelle, DAVI, and Freaky Chakra.  His hypnotic Tech House productions have already been playlisted by Carl Cox, Hernan Cattaneo, James Zabiela, Danny Howells, Sander Kleinenberg, Quivver, and John Digweed on his massively popular ‘Transitions' radio show.  2016 will be another strong year with the release of his track ‘Holding Back' including remixes by Betoko, Soul Trader, and Deep Tribe featuring Violin Girl.

The first remix of ‘Holding Back' is by Betoko, who transforms the dreamy original into a high-energy rollercoaster and peak-time bomb.  The London based, Mexican born producer boasts a highly esteemed back catalog on labels such as Get Physical, Diynamic, Suara, Kittball, and Supernature.  His music has been licensed for use on popular TV shows, ad campaigns, and is regularly supported by some of the world's biggest DJ's.  Betoko's infectious sounds have been heard at pretty much every top club and festival in the world where he has played B2B sets with DJ's like Sasha and Nick Warren.

Little is known about Soul Trader aside from the limited info his mentor and cohort Funkagenda has released.  His deep, throbbing techno influenced sounds have already begun making waves with remixes for Quivver, Deep Tribe, and a spectacular debut EP on Incorrect Music.  We may not know much about this shadowy figure but we do know that he's going to go far.  Soul Trader's remix of ‘Holding Back' hits hard, and we have no doubt this track will tear up the dancefloor and maybe even bring down the walls.

The third and final remix is by LA duo Deep Tribe featuring Violin Girl.  Though they've both had success in the dance music industry under various pseudonyms, Dimitry Rozental and Andrew Knopf have finally found their niche as Deep Tribe, fusing unique influences to craft a solid catalog of House and Techno music.  With a steady stream of releases on labels such as Wulfpack and Perfect Driver, Deep Tribe are quickly becoming an unshakeable force in the world of dance music production.  Their heavily brooding, emotional remix of ‘Holding Back' is guaranteed to cut straight to the heart.

Freddy Be - Holding Back (Betoko Remix) [Perspectives Digital]

The original versions of this track were released in the summer of 2015, to celebrate Asymmetric's 100th release, and reached Beatport Top 20 Electronica chart, and now lands once again in time for this summer with three fresh new remixes.
Sound Avenue boss Madloch is next, and takes things deeper and hypnotic, but still with plenty of drive and utilises the melodics superbly, and this winner builds nicely.

Label owner, Jelly For The Babies, snaps out his first release on One Of A Kind! "Venus" is track that lies right in between boarders of deep and progressive house. Melodic, mystic and groovey at the same time. Original is followed by two remarkable remixes. Lad with the unique production style, signing and releasing music on worldwide labels such as Anjunadeep, Dopamine Music, Mango Alley and many others, Kobana, focused his remix more on bassline and groove, which makes his remix clubby and perfect for dance floors! On second remix duty we have established Turkish producer, Erdi Irmak who did great job where he shows that the right progressive house is slowly going back to it's roots.

ICONYC head honcho John Johnson & Greyloop’s forever gets the remix treatment from Andre Sobota, Underground Ticket and David R Maddocks. ‘Forever’ is a modern house jam that pushes all the right buttons. The deep progressive house roller fuses synth chord stabs a pounding drums, clinical percussion and a pretty powerful lead line, perfect for those peak time moments.

First up we have Andre Sobota who gets us going by using rhythmic beeps and a mellow synth-stabs to create a driving rhythm before the atmospheric pads create a beautiful setting, which fires with all guns blazing to produce a club monster that growls. Combining the best of both worlds, he has come up with something unique and distinctive to make this release extra special while applying an extra dose of groove and warmth to this incredible tune. Andre’s mix stands for a fool proof and state-of-the-art piece of music, which will readily make you, take note and amaze in equal measures.

Next up we have non-other than Underground Ticket, famed for his high quality progressive house productions, whose interpretation sounds mature, effortless, and full of subtle nuance. Never one to be bound by any particular style or genre, this is them taking a deeper route. The combo delivers a bittersweet, quality fuelled, melancholic rework that still manages to get your toe tapping with each downbeat. 

Adding to our list of all-star remixers, we brought in English maestro David R Maddocks who knows a thing or two when it comes to mind blowing reworks, turning his mix into an irresistible track using the original elements with perfection. David layers more melodies and effects, whilst upping the flow with cleverly programmed tech percussion and his trademark FX elements, without destroying the essence of the original. His rework deserves to be branded ‘essential' in any sense of the word.

John Johnson & Greyloop's 'Forever' sees a worldwide release on November 20th, 2017. Not to be missed!
