Written and produced by Mike Sharon & Sem Marini (2013) for Ultra Knites Productions.

Ultra Knites touch down with a highly anticipated debut EP for their brand new vinyl record label. "Got To Release" has already been described as a future classic with its distinctive warm pads, vintage bassline and vocal hook while "NY Sleaz'd" is the choice track for peak time dancefloor destruction. The B side takes things deeper underground providing variety with two more chord driven cuts, flanged synth stabs and harmonised basslines. All delivered on heavyweight 180g vinyl.

Purple Velvet is Chris James and Lee Dearn, two purveyors of deep and sensuous house music since forming in late 2011. Having gotten to know each other at various late night music sessions, the pair have increasingly honed their own house sound that’s as suited to the dark confines of a club as it is the sunnier vibes of an outdoor terrace. Examples to date can be found on the ever on-point Berlin label, Exploited, in the form of their Flashways EP. Both tracks pair fresh and radiant synth work with loose beats and plenty of colourful details, and have garnered support from the likes of Huxley, Til Von Sein and Apollonia’s Dyed Soundorom for their dance floor dynamics. The pair have also contributed tracks to compilations on Exploited and Dirt Crew, and releases on Noir, Dirt Crew and Local Talk. With their follow-up 'Solstice' (including a remix by Bristol disco pets Behling & Simpson) on Exploited,  Purple Velvet are well on their way to emerging as the breakthrough stars of 2013.

The New Jersey master's 1999 homage to dawn's early light has been given a re-outing on the French trio's lauded imprint (http://soundcloud.com/apolloniamusic).

Classic Chandler in every sense, robust 4/4s thump under muffled shuffling hi-hats, a viscous bassline and soft airy chords, while Kerri's own supple vocals are surprisingly dulcet. 

With Delano Smith on the remix with some lovely deepness, this forgotten gem is about to be remembered. 

Have a sneaky listen before it re-appears on 25th February (http://www.juno.co.uk/products/kerri-chandler-sunday-sunlight/501656-01/).

Tony Lionni presents Straight Ahead Ep, his next soulful deep-house stomper on Goldmin Music

This guy shouldn't need any introduction for house music fellows as the british born artist has been one of the most creative deep-house producers of the last few years. 
Tony Lionni, Liverpool born but Manchester bred, enjoyed a prolific and near-faultless debut year as a producer in 2008 thanks to his uplifting take on house/tech house, Detroit techno and all things deep. With a raft of releases on labels such as Ostgut Ton, Figure, Mule, Versatile and Wave, Lionni couldn't have scripted it better himself.

This new "Straight Ahead" is a pure splendor 3 tracker deep-house ep. 
Our man succeeds where many fail, most likely because Tony is a syncere and passioned guy, more focused on the intrinsic quality of his music than his promo-business skills and this kind of devotion and sincerity means a lot to us. 
With this new record, he's combining that brightful early 90's house feeling with a more contemporary, massive and effective approach, delivering an hammering energy yet keeping the dreamy lushness that makes this kind of stuff so charmful.

And the name of this Ep suits well the music since it's exactly what these few cuts get to spread..
It actually goes straight ahead, making the listener focus on the main loop while a lot of things are happening beside, behind, under, subtly but surely, avoiding the monotony which many today's house productions suffer of.
That's what real deep house is all about and Tony proves his amazing savoir faire and personality again!

How you feeling leads the way! A proper house weapon and very stomping cut that will please the foots as well as the lips that will rather go like this :) than this :(
Yes.. that's not a very lyrical description but that says it all! Ain't it? We kept the long sentences for the other tracks!

Oasis keeps the same vibe but in an even brighter way, a sublime uplifting track which swings between so-called "nu-disco" and deep-house (in the true sense of the word). The beat starts and you feel like a flashback to the 80's but not that quite common, outdated, boring flashback, No! Actually more of a beautiful trip to the 80's as you're flying over this disco era but you're into a futuristic aircraft, you got it now?

Before night falls.. Bang! you've just been kicked out of the club and oh! you landed at Panorama Bar at 10AM. Even the walls are sweating, the atmosphere is tight, epic. The music that escapes out of the speakers is definitely having an effect on your mind, your body, ok let's add "soul".. almost hypnotizing you.. You hear that subtle contrast between that energy, that bass avoiding you to sit and that delightful mix of harmonies, melodies, vocals perfectly arranged that make you feel like right here, right now, there's absolutely no need to care about how to get back home, how to wake up and go to work, how to pay your bills, why the world's so wild..

Jazzanova - Look What You're Doin' To Me feat. Phonte (Motor City Drum Ensemble Remix)
This the first B-Side Track of our 12inch - Jazzanova - Upside Down 2.
Streetdate: 25.11.2011 VINYL ONLY
Also Motor City Drum Ensemble can't be an unknown name to everyone listening to club music. Danilo Plessow (originally from Stuttgart, now based in Cologne) has been re-defining house music for the last five years or so. His brilliant Mix for DJ Kicks! (released earlier this year on !K7) showed again why everyone is so much in awe of him and his ever evolving talents. This remix keeps the legacy definitely going. A string-ladden, hands-in-the-air anthem for every respectful dancefloor on this planet.

The Layabouts feat. Omar - As Long As You Believe (BB Boogie Remix)

‘Where Did You Go’ is the debut single from London based soul singer-songwriter Shea. With a timeless sound encompassing contemporary themes of abandonment Shea’s single brings together classic soul and jazz influences in a classy and heartfelt lament. 

Produced by Drew Horley (best known as the producer of Ty’s Mercury Nominated album ‘Upwards’), ‘Where Did You Go’ (released 11th February 2013 on ThisIsArea7) evokes smoky jazz clubs, and puts a new twist on an era where double bass and snare brushes ruled the live circuit. It perfectly showcases one side of Shea’s multifaceted, self-penned debut album 'Grey Skies & Rainbow Fingernails’ , due for release in 2013.

Accompanying the miraculous Live At Robert Johnson edition by Arto Mwambe, this piece of vinyl features two of the previously unreleased trinkets that were shining through their unconventional narrative of an Arto Mwambe live set. You get their typical fudge and the duo’s crush on melodies with “Duster FC”, while “One Lonely Knight” can easily be interpreted as a bow to another convincing pair: Paris Grey and KMS wouldn’t feel out of place here. Girl you know it’s Arto Mwambe!

As if this wouldn’t be enough (you know what’s coming here now), the Berlin-Moss axis under guidance of the Sex Tags Mania emperors delivers two remixes that will be exclusively available on the vinyl platter. With some help by the reclusive Don Papa, DJ Sotofett and some other mystical people, these friendly characters grace Arto Mwambe’s “Midi Vice” with their unique voices and distinctive vision of what dance music can sound like. Graffiti most certainly can’t be stopped!
