Morris Audio 113: Darran Nugent, Life on Planets - thought waves (incl. Sacred H3art remix)
out digitally early December.
 
'Thought Waves' is a first-time collaboration between Galway producer Darran Nugent and Baltimore vocalist/songwriter Phill Celeste aka Life On Planets. The result is a track that beautifully encapsulates the multiplex of emotions of the lockdown consciousness voiced through the unbounded, soul-liberating medium of house music. Phil's lyrics and vocals boldly announce 'Penny for my thoughts, but them thoughts ain't free...tricky. All this thinkin'...taking energy'. His answer is a resoundingly positive one: 'breathe slow' and 'get it out of the way'. 

Darran Nugent has been producing for over 20 years, most notably under his alias Aruba, with some sought after classic vinyls like 'How Low Can you Go' (Exun/Cocoon) or 'In Stereo' (Squareroom) as well as remixing house music legends like Fish Go Deep, Fresh & Low and Freestyle Man. Darran's sound has always challenged the boundaries between deeper and techier styles of House music, while still creating a recognisable, signature style of his own. He also runs his label called Elevation Recordings.

Life On Planets is the solo project of singer/guitarist Phill Celeste. Melding soul, R&B, and house in his original productions, the artist’s eclectic sound took him from the streets of Baltimore to cities the world over. 

William Keohane aka Sacred H3art (Yoruba Records) was an immediate choice to remix 'Thought Waves' with Darran being a huge fan of his unique deep and infectious production style and delivers a stunning remix in his unmistakable style. Watch out for an upcoming releases as READ 'Where’s My Phone' on Defected and a full length album on Ocha Records.

Lalo Leyy hails from the beautiful Cancun Quintana Roo, Mexico. Lalo’s style ranges from Soulful House, Funky House, and Disco to Deep and Tech House. Jose Aranda, based out of Granada, Spain has teamed up with Lalo on this Summer fueled track as well.

Lalo is on fire at the moment, pumping out new music regularly, and getting picked up by some great labels like Hive and Open Bar Music. He was featured as a Top 500 artist of 2022 on Traxsource, and his music is finding support by legends like Louie Vega. Jose is also hard at work with tunes influenced by Afro and Tribal House vibes. So, we're glad to have these 2 talented artists on Cromarti, and look forward to working together more in the near future. 

Featuring catchy vocals, and a great funky groove, we think you'll find "Next to Me" to be one of those perfect feel-good tracks to fit in your sets this Summer. Aside from the original, we've got some great remixes to go along with it by T. Markakis, Peter Mac, and Colau.

Memo Rex - Distance (Original Mix) [Music is 4 Lovers] [MI4L.com]

Artist: DA.A.V.V.
Title: Earth, Wind & Funk
Cat.#: SMS031
Format: 12''

After a short break Samosa Records explodes back on the scene with ‘Earth Wind & Funk’, a deadly four-tracker EP that is sure to get the juices flowing and body moving.

A1 sees New Zealander producer ‘Strange’ make a most welcome return, spinning the funk loom with the ‘Hard Working’ (De Gama Re-Drums). A truly addictive and distinctive bassline sets the pace, tone and feel for this gorgeously constructed track. It has it all; sumptuous vocal, high-end brass and an acid squelch to die for. Dig it, you will.

A2 lands with Frank Virgilio’s ‘Love Is Positivity’ – a melting pot of twisted disco, feel-good scatty rhythm and lifting vocals. The melody is literally dripping with positivity, but also has an almost transcendental vibe secretly going on. The last drops of summer are right here. Enjoy them.

On the B-side, Mosaik Kollektive raise the temperature with the De Gama Re-Drums applied ‘Keep’. A tough, perfectly cooked groove that gets right in your face and makes no apologies for screaming at you. The bass on this unstoppable monster is all-consuming. Rhythm guitar licks blend with soaring strings and that’s the full basket. Sublime meaty goodness.

Closing matters for this incredible EP at B2 is the effervescent Monsieur Van Pratt and Funk De Ibiza. MVP stretches his funky legs to the full here, laying down a solid beat, arpeggio and a bass so tough you could train it to box. Expertly blended with J-pop-esque vocal and shrill church organ. Drop this at midnight and watch the carnage unfold and hands in the air.

Earth, Wind and Funk is the exposure to the elements you absolutely want. A more perfect slice of wax you couldn’t find and one that’s sure to find its way into the record boxes of those who know.

Label mainstays Fouk just dropped the perfect dancefloor Bomb with ‘Mirage’ paired with a high-octane Elisa Bee remix 

We all know Dutch duo Fouk from their soulful, bouncy take on house music. They’re also responsible for some of Heist’s biggest tracks like Kill Frenzy or their Lil Louis inspired 2021 release ‘Blue Steel’. On their new EP, the talented duo shows us a fresh side of their sound: the main-room hands-in-the-air-going-wild side. To top things off, Italian producer Elisa Bee made time in her busy schedule of DJ’ing and releasing for artists like Ben Sims on his Hardgroove imprint and Unknown to the Unknown to deliver a killer remix of the title track. 

Fouk’s return to Heist after 3 years is a welcome one and with ‘Mirage’, they might just have given us their biggest house track in their decade spanning career. The track is built around a stuttering synth loop and a seductive female vocal chanting ‘What made you wanna…” The real star here is the bassline, which propels the track into a seriously infectious groove. Add some lush strings and moody changeovers and you’ve got yourself a full-blown dancefloor weapon. Mirage has been a staple in Dam Swindle’s sets for the past months and has been one of their set highlights ever since.

“Coffee” is one for the classic Fouk fans. It’s got lovely Rhodes, a joyous combination of whoo’s, snare-rolls and synth hits grooving on top of an infectious orchestral background loop. “Tapioca” is a hybrid latin-electronic groove that builds on punchy synths, live percussion and drunk keys to balance the energy of the track. 

Elisa Bee’s remix of ‘Mirage’ is an intense percussive workout that builds on a breakbeat loop and a rave-bassline. The tempo is turned up a notch or 2 and that stutter synth and vocal of the original make this remix a wild warehouse affair.

Closing track of the EP is ‘Abalone’; A lovely bleep-house affair that still has a bit of that warehouse vibe. It’s got the perfect amount of distortion the drums while keeping things dreamy with some face-melting pads throughout the track. 

As always, enjoy the music and play it loud!

"prior to 2000, switzerland had a lot of chocolate, a lot of rolexes, and a lot of foreign peoples' fortunes - what it didn't have were enough good techno labels. then came stefan riesen, who founded the morris audio label and slowly began releasing fantastic microhouse, minitechno, dubby 4/4, and heavily processed dancefloor jams."   xlr8r magazine
