Moments For A Day - Frivy's Radio Edit

Daneeka's last EP was one of his best to date and 'What's It Gonna Be' featured the stellar vocals of Seven Davis Jr, an artist who's been steadily climbing the ranks himself.

Before the year is out, it's only right that a remix EP comes out to keep us dancing through to 2016 and the list of artists on board is pretty special.

The pick of the bunch comes from Detroit legend Andrés and fans of the vinyl connoisseur will be brimming with excitement for this one.

Premiere: Doc Daneeka ft Seven Davis Jr 'What's It Gonna Be' (Andrés Remix)

Crystal Waters - Gypsy Woman ( brAque Remix )

upcoming remix for Petr Serkins EP on Freedom Sessions. Out on wax around end of February!

Petr Serkin - Magic Roots - (Hauke Freer Remix)

PREMIERE > inverted-audio.com/premiere-nebraska-it-wont-be-long

Boosting the track’s shine with a snaky arpeggio, totemic percussions, feeling vocals and a flight of gut-wrenching strings, @dj_nebraska manages to reinforce the tear-jerking force of the cut with a few tastefully-dusted piano stabs. A taste of sublime.

Nebraska - It Won't Be Long [Heist Recordings]


First to strut down this week’s Debut red carpet is Moscow-born, Tokyo-based Phil Gerus. Having already supplied the goods to George Fitzgerald’s ManMakeMusic, Jazzanova’s Sonar Kollektiv and Kerri Chandler’s Madtech Records — the beat whiz has undoubtedly got some solid backup.

Enter "Why All The Questions?", plucked from Phil's upcoming 12” Pleasures and Pains EP and continuing to stir his cauldron of cassette pop, house, soul, R&B and funk. The track harks as a bonafide eighties throwback — funky bass stabs, soulful vocals and that quintessential eighties synthesiser sound all combine to deliver some explosive DeLorean dynamite.

Pleasures and Pains is released through Lumberjacks Boogie on wax only.

After a brief wait between releases, UK-based deep house label @secret-reels is back with a new record. The imprint bears a sound that is often both bittersweet and pensive -- a shout to the aesthetic of the now defunct Purple Velvet -- and has a serious nose, err, ear for talent. Bordeaux producer Leon Revol (@leonidmusique) is at the helm for SR007, after showing promise with releases on the likes of Pressed for Time and Monologues. It's a five track EP (four originals and a remix) - aptly named Astral Plane - that delves into flavors of the cosmic variety.

The A1 slot is occupied by "Far With A Van", which our friends at Sleazy Beats gave us a peek into a short time ago. It's an airy and smooth jam, layered with synths, perfectly tuned drums and smart samples. The title track, "Astral Plane" accompanies it on the art-side, in all its dusty, spacey glory.

On the flip comes our premiere - Bolting Bits favorite Admin's remix of "Far With A Van". The Bristolian beatsmith managed to find the sample used in the original mix (or something in the exact same key and vein), flipping it into a warm, organic version. Thick and crackly drums hold up the track as melancholy strums and angelic horns adorn the arrangement above a bouncing bassline. Ultimately, the track builds to a nicely executed climax; all samples smartly cued and positioned.  It's a deft re-imagination of the perfectly delicious original take, and repurposes the cut for more sombre, late hours play.

Rounding out the B are "St. James" and "Outside", two heady synth-led deep house groovers that nicely continue the vibe of the effort. Followers of Secret Reels and their polished deep house sound will not be disappointed by this 12" in the slightest. Moreover, young Leon has displayed some serious skill here and will surely be a name to watch in the near future.

The Astral Plane EP is available this week at all good record stores. You can preorder it from Juno here.

PREMIERE : Leon Revol - Far With A Van (Admin Remix)

@justsayfouk might have been curating Outplay since 2013, but their ‘Butterfunk EP’ is in fact the duo’s first proper EP on their own imprint. It’s not that they’ve been resting on their laurels: they’ve dripfed a handful of EPs on the likes of Heist and House of Disco over the past few years, and released solo efforts on Kolour Ltd and Razor ’n Tape that stormed the charts. It’s been fascinating to see the Dutch pair slowly break the mould, moving from heavy sampling in favour to an emphasis on original instrumentation and production.

The Butterfunk EP is a fine showcase of their prowess in the studio, loaded to the hilt with contemporary dancefloor funk. Things kick off with the rolling drums, off-beat percussion and seriously infectious Hammond lines of Organ Freeman. Title track Butterfunk is aimed squarely at the hips with its smooth keys and perfectly placed vocal, while some acid lines give the track a little edge. 

Flip over for the bumping ‘Wong Way’, a chunky workout with a rubber bassline. The finale of the EP is ‘Winter’, a fantastic slice of 80’s inspired downtempo mushroom jazz.
