The Alma Negra collective consists of three Swiss based friends and musical kindred spirits. Crossing musical traditions, their eclectic sound is result of their varied and cross-cultural backgrounds. The Figueira Brothers, Dersu & Diego have roots in Cape Verde, while Mario’s roots are in Spain.  As DJ’s, producers and live performers, their sound ranges from Jazz to African and Latin, from Donald Byrd to Fela Kuti to Theo Parrish. The Alma Negra camp is bubbling over with creativity. They’ve released on Sofrito, Highlife and are part of the Heist Recordings family.  The Basel based DJ’s and obsessive diggers formed Alma Negra Records in 2018 as forum for global sounds and club ready music with a multi-cultural approach and a raging deep passion for the Latin flavour, mad percussion, highly infectious rhythms, and tribal beats.

The ‘Zouk Combat EP’ pays homage to the Afrodisco sounds of the 80s. Zouk is the disco noise from the Caribbean islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique. The title track is nothing but a dancefloor bomb, with crisp brass, drum machines and funky synths that drive the Zouk beat forward. ‘Sosso’  is the cut you want to hear as the sun comes up on a beach. It’s delicate vocal and super light groove make you float up into the Sunrise. ‘Timbal Madness’ comes with a hard timbal solo, deep synth pads and mental voice synth solo.  On the remix is Boston born, Medellin based studio wizard Bosq, who delivers his Afro-Latin rerub of ‘Zouk Combat’, once again proving his skill as one of the most in demand remixers in this scene ain’t no joke.

Pleasure of Edits 10 from @jkriv

NYC’s JKriv delivers a package of proto and golden era house re-edits. The Razor N Tape label co-founder has reliably delivered dancefloor ready cuts on Barefoot Beats and Rocksteady Disco as well as his own imprint. On his first Pleasure of Love release JKriv explores house in all its NYC glory; extending the energy on mid-late 80s proto (Got a Thing, Don’t Take Your Love Away) and masterfully looping and building tension with under-appreciated early 90s house (G.D., Feel It). Expert level re-rubs by one of NYC’s finest producers

Petals In Sound | Dial Tone EP

1 Dial Tone
2 Lush
3 The Sea and Everything in It 
4 Lush (Pete Bandit Remix)

Release Info:
This is the splendid deep follow up EP by our favorite Liverpool artist Petals In Sound. After her great label debut last summer where she already showed us her wonderful atmospheric electronic sound, she now continues on a journey through that same spaced- out house territory. “Dial Tone” and “Lush” are both laid back groovers that sooth every dancefloor and are perfect late, or better, early hours tunes to steer dancers gently towards sunrise and out of smoke filled clubs, homewards with warm musical memories of a danced and spaced out night.

“The Sea and Everything in It” is a personal fave here as it combines great percussive rhythms with her unique style, arpeggios and dark synths electronica, deep like a warm spring day. The outdoor raves will be a perfect setting for this one! Last we asked our other new label member Pete Bandit from Berlin to remix “Lush”. With his own debut “Wild Feelings” he already set the tone showcasing his expert percussive and driving house sound. Here again he turned the original into a loopy “New York House” style jam with cool funky drums that fit in perfectly with the other tracks and make this whole EP a tight and delightful package. Enjoy!

Pete Bandit remix has been mixed by Ariel Schlichter in Berlin. 
All tracks mastered by Salz Mastering in Cologne.

Tel Aviv's Nenor has released on the most illustrious of imprints like Moodymann's Mahogani Music, Dam Swindle's Heist Recordings, Strictly Rhythm and Defected, with a wide-ranging house sound fusing clever sampling with the sounds of vintage gear and rare synths.

He arrives on Burnin Music with a stunning quartet of deep grooves ready for balmy summer daze and nites.

The title track jams along with insistent Rhodes chords and dubby chords and drum fills that give a nod to his time spent living and recording reggae musicians in Jamaica, while 'Side Effect' heads into dreamier territory with its chuggy tempo, '70s film score strings, twinkling electric pianos and guitar glissandos.

'Start It Up' recalls golden age hip-hop with its taut drum break and melancholy key scales and chords, and 'Green Time' finishes off in beguiling style with a hypnotic and darkly-tinged tribal rhythm.

All tracks written, produced and mixed by Ronen "Nenor" Sabo except "Start it up" written by Lior Romano & Ronen "Nenor" Sabo.

PREMIERE: Brine - Love Injection [Flat White Records]

Made this song in December 2019 in the style of video game music / BGM. If I work on this again, I'll probably swap out the lead instrument (it kind of stinks).

Tokyo-based producer Omar Santis returns for his 3rd Karakul EP following on from releases on Dionysian Mysteries and Envelope Audio. 'Thursday Night Funktion' is the 6th release on the imprint and really embodies the ethos of Karakul, soulful deep house workouts designed for the dance floor. The EP is dedicated to his Tokyo club night 'Funktion'; a cultural party that's held every Thursday at one of the world's top ten small clubs, Oath in Shibuya. Their events have caught the attention of Tokyo's local community and their international guests by its unique branding and "mature but wild" party atmosphere. The EP starts on a high with the groovy sample heavy disco/house jam 'Nira'. Vocal chops and guitar licks build and culminate until a massive string section releases a second rush of energy taking the track to even higher ground. The follow up 'Sakura Blossom' is the deepest cut of the release with washed out pads and bleeps cascading while a hypnotic bass keeps the track grooving. Iron Curtis adds his personal touch and ups the energy on his remix of 'Cameo Appearance', adding a breakbeat, ethereal melodies and vocal snippets floating atop a plucky bass line. Ending the release on a blissful note 'SpaceColorPalette' is a flurry of melodic synths and muffled percussion that swirl around over the top of a solid kick and bass groove.
