Piem - Love Commandments (Alaia & Gallo Remix)

Purchase here: https://sobomtl.bandcamp.com/album/waterzone-digi

Jesse Futerman takes to the Sounds Of Beaubien Ouest (SOBO) imprint for the first time to release the 'Waterzone' EP, which features the smooth grooving house ballad of a title track.

Futerman linked with a collection musicians in Beverly Glenn-Copeland on vocals, Chris Edmondson on saxophone and Stacey Shopsowitz on bass to showcase a new side to his artistry with the 'Waterzone' EP. The result is a collection of three tracks that fuse intricate organic arrangements. As a whole, it's an incredibly beautiful release, one primed for a summer dance.

The 'Waterzone' EP is set for release August 24.

Premiere: Montel - Peaceful People [Montel Records]

Out now on Crosstown Rebels: lnk.to/CRMLP045
 
Over a period of seventeen years, Damian Lazarus’ Crosstown Rebels has evolved into a world-renowned institution, garnering global audiences thanks to a consistent schedule of quality releases. Quintessential to the label’s success is the Spirits series, with each edition acting as a musical bastion to showcase the talents of both established and breakthrough artists alike. Now, after much anticipation, the world-renowned compilation will see the light of day once more in the form of Spirits IV, the fourth installment in Spirits’ ever-evolving saga. A mixed version of the album will also be included in the release, as a digital bonus track.

Ahead of its release, label-founder Damian Lazarus described the ethos behind the series: “The Spirits series is a very important platform for incredible new club music, often created by up and coming artists. The tracks are tried and tested over a twelve month
period by myself at parties and no stone is left unturned to ensure the absolute quality of every cut on the album. Deep, twisted
and beautiful music for the dancefloors of tomorrow.” 

That last sentence is epitomised in the compilation’s very beginning, as Alex Kennon and Pete Tong’s Apache leads with a stirring intensity, gently winding between spirit-healing vocals and resonant kick-hat combos. Echoe-founder Francesca Lombardo showcases her decade-long production experience in Freak On Sea, providing a dubby-leaning club cut that features progressive key changes throughout before Martin Badder and Pablo:Rita’s stunning collaboration, Phase, soon arrives in its place, rippling with a gentle lucidity thanks to a subtle four-four bassline and mesmeric singing tones. 

ANTS regular Andrea Oliva takes no prisoners on Rawman, serving up a near six-minute cut of pummeling kicks that build into a brooding synth-fuelled crescendo, whilst Russian-born up-and-comer Artur Nikolaev showcases his inherent artistic expression on Alma, creating an eleven-minute voyage into minimal techno’s deeper realm with stripped-back bass and hypnotic vocal samples. California’s Lubelski teams up with singer-songwriter Xkylar on Passion Fruits, a track that dives between slow-burning percussion and emotion-lead pads, paving the way for I See Colour, the latest collaboration from UK-native Luke Brancaccio and long-standing production partner Cypherpunx. Crosstown Rebels regular Made By Pete makes his Spirits debut next, presenting a tribal-laced mystic number in the form of Harar before Turkey’s leading exponent Ali Kuru teams up with Nublu Records founder Ilhan Ersahin on the jazz-dotted, Middle-Eastern inspired Eplos. Super Natural quickens the pace courtesy of enigmatic Barbados-born talent Murr, alongside Rosina’s ethereal vocal offerings that enchant as much as they delight, whilst veteran
German producer DJ Linus gives us the penultimate track on Vibes In Space. Indicative of the track’s progression, we are taken on a celestial journey through starry-eyed synths and soft whispering hats, leading neatly into the compilation’s closing saga in the form of Matador’s Vulture, a straight-talking dancefloor cut that showcases the Rukus-founder at his best.

Alex Kennon & Pete Tong - Apache

Out March 12, pre-order it here: https://hooversoundrecordings.bandcamp.com/album/prayer-in-your-arms

His next release sees him join the rapidly growing @hooversound family, with a five-track EP that journeys through euphoria, sadness, and impact.

Premiere: Prayer 'Love Fantasy'

'Waiting For The World' album out March 26, get it here: https://orcd.co/waitingfortheworld

@waywarduk drop another explosive taster from their debut album ‘Waiting For The World’, coming via @silver-bear-recordings.

Third single ‘All A Bit Mad’ is built around the voice of Femi Koleoso, drummer of pioneering London nu jazz band @ezracollective.

Wayward said: “We feel like we’ve fully settled into making the music we should be. You don’t get a shot at a debut album twice, and we wanted to put out a sonically diverse record that is as energising as it is emotionally-evocative with atmospheric tracks to chill to, and ones with the energy of club impact. Before lockdown we’d seen Ezra Collective at The Roundhouse in London. The way that Femi addressed the crowd was more like an MC at a rave than the leader of a jazz band. The energy he created was so impressive that we had the idea to sample his voice. All A Bit Mad was the first tune we wrote during the lockdown period. Stuck in the house reminiscing about clubbing and thinking about the prospect of no live music for a considerable stretch of time was what inspired it”

Premiere: Wayward 'All A Bit Mad'

Out March 1, pre-order it here: https://timehri.bandcamp.com/releases

@timehri is a new platform combining forward thinking dance music with a unique cultural aesthetic to push the underground, whilst riding the wave for 100% Independent Record labels. The first instalment is the 'Future Horizons' EP by @theoriginalperception. The Moodswing label boss and underground UK Garage pioneer delivers three tracks with signature style and groove on his first full vinyl project since 2019.

'Know Your Name' kicks things off. Skippy drum patterns set the tone throughout, providing the bass layer for the off beat top end whilst the addition of a subtle sing-along vocal delivers the perfect balance -a head bobber for sure!

Timehri (tim-air-ree) – a Guyanese Amerindian word meaning petroglyph. Located deep in the Guyana hinterland and predating the arrival of Europeans by thousands of years, the Timehri have been used as a visual medium to communicate and symbolise cultural beliefs for millennia. West London DJ @td93-1 pays homage to his Guyanese heritage, continuing this legacy as a cultural aesthetic through music, via an alternate reality sometime in the far future.

Premiere: DJ Perception 'Know Your Name'

Out March 19, pre-order it here: https://sunareht.bandcamp.com/album/amorama

'Amorama' is the first full-length LP offering from Parisian producer and @paradoxeclub label boss @sunareht. Sunareht is an artist exploring the boundaries of expression and emotion in an internet age; an age where now more than ever, the internet is the place where we have most of our day to day lives; interactions, relations, special moments, and experiences, even down to sharing music the way we once would have done in a club environment. This first album is an exploration of the nuances and new normalities of sharing our lives online. 

Part of a new wave of French electronic producers; Sunareht takes influence from the classic ‘French Touch’ sound of the 90’s and 00’s; blending leftfield, lo-fi electronica, and electro. This trademark sound journeys through the album - euphoric and emotional, futuristic yet nostalgic - ‘Amorama’ explores how we channel our emotions in this new way of living. It’s a place where you get your serotonin or dopamine fix - whether that’s ‘Party Soundtrack Generator’ to virtual free-fall for couples in ‘Parachute Tandem VR.’

Premiere: Sunareht  'Spam Escapism'

Pre-order: https://lnk.to/CRMLP045

The long running @crosstownrebels label serves up a fourth fine volume of its 'Spirits' series and once again draws on a wide pool of talent.
