'Various Assets - Not For Sale 2013' is a collection of some of the music that was made during the Red Bull Music Academy during four early summer weeks in New York City last year. The double CD contains 30 tracks composed, improvised and discovered by the 62 international participants and a cast of high-profile studio team members, who all got their fingers dirty on synths, Mellotrons, vibraphones, drum machines and anything else they could lay their hands on. Enjoy!

Known as Los Angeles' "Ambassador of Boogie Funk," Damon Riddick represents the citizens of the Funkmosphere to the fullest. Anyone who grooves to the likes of Slave, Aurra, early Prince and Prelude Records, will knoe what to do when they hear "No More Love."

Written by Damon Riddick (US). Produced by Dâm-Funk.

'Various Assets - Not For Sale 2013' is available for free download from January 15th, 2014 via <a href="http://rbma.bandcamp.com">RBMA Bandcamp</a> and <a href="http://soundcloud.com/redbullmusicacademy">Soundcloud</a>.

Dâm-Funk - No More Love

AURRA - Somebody (DâM-FunK Re-Freak)

Artist: DāM-FunK 
Title: Architecture 
Label: saft
Format : Vinyl 12’’ 
Releasedate: November 2016 
Style: Deephouse, Funk 
Note: Details Soon Available

For the latter half of 2016 SAFT is proud to announce a release by the one and only funketeer and Pasadena based connoisseur of the true underground funk-music  “DāM-Funk’’. The trans-atlantic collaboration between the Canary Islands based label and DāM-FunK resulted in "Architecture". A 3 track limited (500 copies) slice of otherworldly synths, drum machines and percussive grooves that showcase the true west coast sound of modern funk.
  
‘’Break Out’’ (A1) is a true spaced out cut, completed with intrusive snares. Hazy melodies and vocal like rompler sounds that cut throughout.  

‘’Hazy Stomp’’ is a 21st century boogie dream that utilizes a funked out bassline that shifts and slides throughout the song and determines the atmosphere. Hazy chords and additional percussion make for a beautifully orchestrated tune that will linger through people’s minds for a long time.  

‘’Your House’’ (B2) is a very conceptual piece of work that combines the famous and classic Bass sound of Chicago with an almost singing bell sound and frantic melodious pads and blips that cause for a break-out piece of euphoria to close down this versatile EP that SAFT is so proud to publish.

Earth Trax releases his debut album for Shall Not Fade with the breath-taking LP1.

LP1 takes influence from cold wave, applying gloomy chords onto House and Breakbeat, whilst including textures that might draw reference to early IDM. Earth Trax blends dreamy vocals, pads and melodies with striking rhythms, squawking synthesizers and strong bass lines throughout. The LP was recorded as an extension of some of the artists moodier singles on Shall Not Fade sister imprint, Lost Palms. It explores a more experimental approach towards House music, whilst drawing influence from some of his more downtempo style releases as Bartosz Kruczyński. LP1 features the stunning photography of Kasia Zacharko & graphic design of Kaja Kukuła.

Limited to 300 records worldwide,

--------

Following the release of ‘Blue Coat, Red Dress’ earlier this year, kilig steps up for their first EP for UK party and label Origins. Marking the second output for the imprint, ‘Is It Time’ will be available on the 3rd July. 

Holding a residency at London venue Night Tales, kilig draws from the city’s dynamic rave sound, moving away from the previous ambient tones found on their last EP. Leading with the title track, the single is tinged with euphoria as a warm vocal sample echos over shimmering synths. ‘VHS Flex’ and ‘Buckled’ take a darker turn as the sun sets into evening, filled with grittiness and attitude. The EP comes to a close with ‘Bed Test’, a night-to-light record with an endorphin-rich melody. 

Explaining the story and connection with Origins, kilig says, “When kilig started I made a little list of targets and places that I wanted to play, and people that I wanted to send music too. In terms of London, Origins sat pretty high on that list, booking names I genuinely looked up to. I finally got some music in front of the team there and a conversation opened up, but not about playing, instead they wanted to release a record. In the year since that conversation I’ve written a fair few club tracks. The writing process was very different to other stuff I make, maybe evident in the broad range of styles on this EP; my favourite elements of techno, breaks, house and electro, without sitting still for too long.

It feels somewhat ironic that during this time, where clubs can't even open, I would be releasing my first full club-centric EP - posing: Is It Time? 

I couldn’t be more excited to be working with the Origins team, especially in this strange time. I hope you find a suitable Time? to enjoy the release, and hopefully we can enjoy it together soon.” 

Origins launched their label in 2017 with an EP from Tomossini which featured a remix from Hodge and saw support from Anastasia Kristensen during her Boiler Room debut.

Oozy Zoo - Sabertooth [FLAIR001]

Austrian producer DOS rolls through making his mark on the first release of new label, Running Out of Steam, already scoring a modern summer classic house infused release to make memories too. 

EP track title 'Lucid Dreams' entwines twinkling, twitching vocals with deep compressed pads for the summer hazy days ahead with tropical synth melodies blending into a euphoric after-hours haze. 

'Work That' launches into a nostalgic blend of crunchy breaks and endearing silky chords. Levitating through the track, it's building vocal line draws to an ecstatic drop for the living room dancefloor. Get the windows open and feel the wind in your hair for this sunrise belter. 

On the flip side DOS injects his punchy pads and dusty 90's vocals for a cheeky four to the floor house anthem. Broken beat drum hooks move in unison with mellow synth lines to time travel back to better times. 

‘Manta’ sees out the labels first outing with an epic bang, pulsating bass battles elegantly crunching with trance-esque sound pallets and classic jungle breaks.
