Kornél Kovács - Radio Koko (NMBRS40)

Slide into summer with the Numbers repress of Kornél Kovács’ Radio Koko, available on vinyl for the first time since its original release in 2015. Radio Koko revives a dream radio station where music never sleeps and the hits keep coming, a soundtrack for both sweaty nights out and laidback beach BBQs. Listeners will already be familiar with the irresistible curveball house hit Pantálon, the Reese + Mentasm riffs of Gangsta, the jacking Lighthouse and the ecstatic/melancholic soundclash of Malon with Marcus Price. Coming on the heels of Kovács’ solo albums The Bells and Stockholm Marathon, this repress is a timely reminder of the prominent producer and DJ’s festive musicality and party-starting approach.

Deeply loveable Parisian label Antinote has been blurring music's lines since their 2012 conception, with the diverse releases that have prospered from their base within the city's 11ème arrondissement walls. Not one given selection from Antinote's vaults has made for dull listening – from Iueke's cassette-only techno and Geena's explosive house, to Syracusee's soda pop and the frank exploration of human fragility in Nico Motte's Life Goes On If You Are Lucky.

Antinote now welcomes back the versatile DJ, producer and experimentalist, D.K. (Dang Khoa Chau), for his second release with the imprint, Island of Dreams. D.K.'s self-ascribed aesthetic influences come from 1980s and 1990s digital culture – Super Nintendo, American teen movies on VHS, Daryl Hall and John Oates on MTV – these of which he transposes into a musical idiom of dated synth melodies, power keyboard chords, tropical drum machine rhythms and raw bass lines. These are exhibited comprehensively on today's Debut, and the only house-y tip of the record, "Raindrops". A feel-good track totally retrospective in nature, "Raindrops" tails off the synthetic, virtu-real world of D.K.'s Island of Dreams with the utmost satisfaction.

D.K.'s Island of Dreams drops on March 4th.

If you have been a following the underground disco scene the past few years, there is a good chance you have heard of Harry Wolfman before. Since 2011, the funk producer from London has managed to release tracks on prominent labels such as Dirt Crew Recordings, Razor-N-Tape, The House of Disco, Under The Shade, MTA Records, and Lost My Dog. Building a reputation as quite the prolific producer, Harry has decided to add another label to his growing list by coming out with the EP “Nemoto” on Dutch outfit OUTPLAY.

For those that are unfamiliar, the label is run by producers Hans Peeman (Junktion) and Daniël Leseman and recently came out with records by some of our favorites like Loz Goddard and Fouk. Now, with Harry Wolfman under their belt, OUTPLAY is beginning to solidify themselves as one of our most reliable sources of house music in the game.

In their 8th release, OUTPLAY has put out a four-track array of tunes that do well in showcasing Harry Wolfman’s range as a producer. From down-tempo melodies that sound like they have been taken from space to chopped-up basslines that seem hell-bent on making you dance, Mr. Wolfman shows that there isn’t much he can’t handle in the studio.

That being said, our personal favorite from the record has to be its lead track “Nemoto.” Clocking in at almost 10 minutes, this original weaves in elements of filtered house and unadulterated funk that act to lull the listener at points, while energizing them at others. In between these moments, Harry keeps things interesting by incorporating an assortment of modulated synths and memorable quotes like, “It was like disco was the Titanic and we were all on board…”

Although I wouldn't say this EP will make you sink like the Titanic, it will certainly help you get down! To get yourself a copy, simply follow this link right here.

PREMIERE : Harry Wolfman - Nemoto

Remix extravaganza ahead! What started as an attempt to transport Feater’s brillant outsider pop „Time Millionaire“ (taken from the Socialo Blanco album) onto a dance floor with one or two remixes, ended up as a feast served on three different platters with some heavy hitters. First up, Pépé Bradock and Ricardo Villalobos are crossing their beams. Spread over two 12“s, the masters of idiosyncrasies and splendid aural design, Bradock and Villalobos treat the voice of Vilja Larjosto with love and care and bring it into their respective universe during peak time: vocals, dubs, acapellas and bonus bits included. Expertly, tricky and inventive.
	Remix EP no. 3 merges different trajectories of UK dance music traditions (or Ireland for that matter). Man of the moment Krystal Klear takes the material down to love town: the sound of 1980s Island records meets NYC boogie and UK street soul sounds. Hessle Audio’s Pangaea follows the other path: uptempo bass fun with a driving dub and an instrumental pass. Last but not least, Feater & Sam Irl themselves deliver a blissed out dub of the original. Oh, and if you have enough time, flip over to the 10“ with an Aba Shanti-I approved UK reggae and lovers rock take on it by Blood Shanti.

Tender Games - Hope

"There is no specific theme or thought to this mix, but here’s a little background on this recording. I often study my records to learn the smoothest  entry and exiting points for mixing. I normally handle this process by mixing and experimenting in my basement. Sometimes I record these sessions, this happens to be one of those recordings. Most of the sessions aren’t playable because there’s generally quite a bit of starting and stopping, but this particular recording lasted almost an hour. The track listing is all over the place, but they normally are." - Tone B. Nimble

The second release in Teen Daze's "Reality Refresh" series continues down the path that the first one set up: meditative rhythms give way to soft grooves; field recordings and nature sounds blend into gentle melodies and textures.

Meditation, the first track, sets the tone perfectly, as its dancing percussion opens up into a vast, lush atmosphere, all tethered by a pulsing kick drum. Oskar's Groove is the groover (as the title might imply) of the bunch, nodding to boogie and mid-tempo disco sounds from the early 80s. Some people might describe it as "light & funky". New Destination proceeds down a more introspective path, again diving deep into hypnotic percussion and hand drums; a hazy, swelling whirlwind of synthesized and natural sounds. Finally, we reach Oskar's Lullaby, the come-down after the build up of New Destination, easing us out of this release with its gently picked guitars and looping drum machine. There's some serious emotion in this one; a beautiful send off.
Reality Refresh 2 was recorded by Jamison Isaak during the month of March 2020. It was mastered by Nik Kozub.

Seeing out the summer, Midnight Snacks frontman Tender Games returns with a glowing poolside disco tune. With lakes as a key destination for Berliners during the summer season, new track ‘Tonsee’ is aptly named after Tender Games’ favourite lake; situated south-east of the city.

Pairing raw guitar grooves with glowing keys and a funky bassline, Tender Games’ innate musicality shines on ‘Tonsee’. A swirling, radiant jam fit for poolside cocktails or an open-air sunset sway.
