Released in 1979, the acclaimed Walter Hill’s action thriller “The Warriors”, based on Sol Yurick's 1965 novel of the same name, keeps inspiring the younger generations. In the most recent case, Varese-based Samuele De Santis decided to step a little bit away from his House Music heavily influenced sonority and rush to his workstation after watching the movie and bring to life a mix of four glitchy/overdriven/crunchy/uptempo originals. For the remix duties, Panko (U're Guay Records) and we.amps (SXDNS285) brought their respective influences to enrich even more the independent release.

“I think the new warriors are us: People trying to express themselves through different art forms, specifically in my case through music”, said De Santis, who spared no efforts to deliver a compelling EP as a modern tribute to the cult classic.

Premiered here, “Electric Eliminators” – the opening theme named after one of the gangs depicted in the film –, is a 130-BPM nervous & frenzied cut that would fit perfectly in the OST of a remake of such a cinematographic masterpiece to bring the necessary menacing atmosphere for a chasing scene.

Exclusive: Charles Webster - I Wonder Why (Charles Webster's 'Still Wondering' Mix)

Two years after the release of Charles Webster's album Decision Time, which was praised equally by critics and musicians, the British artist delivers three new mixes for one of the album's stand-out tracks I Wonder Why. Besides Atjazz taking on remix duties, and a musical approach from Nowism, Charles himself reworked the track to give it an even darker note accentuating the track's message by going without a continuous bass line and emphasizing on sounds, which perfectly go with the spoken vocals. Webster proves once again that you can create House music without its ordinary features and basically approves what the press already said: "There's almost no House music here, though it still runs as a hidden pulse through the record." 

Charles Webster's I Wonder Why Mixes are out on Miso Records.

EXCLUSIVE: Charles Webster - I Wonder Why (Charles Webster's 'Still Wondering' Mix) [Miso Records]

Casino Times debut on Stamp Records with four carefully diced grooves. With acid-tinged disco and house-infused jazz on the A-side, and not one but two tributes to Austropop on the B, the duo show-off both their eclectic tastes and loose approach to crafting an edit. 

‘Overly Dramatic’ lives up to its name - a jaunty slap bass groove bounces away underneath roaring synthetic atmospheres, sporadically launching into bellowing choral hits that’ll make your head spin.

Overly Dramatic

James Bright launches his Life On Earth Recordings imprint in typically sumptuous style, presenting three varied Balearic grooves on the 'Wayfarer EP'. Aiming to provide a soundtrack to a life well- travelled, Life On Earth Recordings is primed to explore the outer reaches of downtempo, electronica, nu-disco and deep house, with a luminous Balearic thread woven deep into its core.  The Mansfield-based artist James Bright, has been in scintillating form, delivering a series of widely adored releases for NuNorthern Soul, Sprechen, Quattro, and Sveva Music. His immaculately-crafted rhythms routinely finding their way into the sets of the most esteemed and cosmically-rooted jocks, while his sound effortlessly floats between and beyond the kaleidoscopic Balearic boundaries.
 
The EP opens with the immersive waves of the title track, where intricate synth layers are carefully intertwined across chords and rolling rhythms, before acid lines and ever-building orchestration rises to a star-gazing climax.  'Hours Were Ours' plays out an enchanting melody, with harmonic layers blissfully assembled over mid-tempo drums, dramatic strings and pulsing synths lifting the introspective mood for a truly absorbing deep-dive.  'Sound Of The Sun' joyously raises the spirits, with summery chords that power delicate synth arpeggios over soul-stirring strings and synth bass. This closing cut is ripe for sundown salutations, and blissed-out finales in captivating settings.
 
Considering the prolificacy of his output, the move into label curation feels like a logical step, providing an uncompromising outlet for his evolving compositions while allowing ample room for musical collaboration. Accomplished, engaging, and beguiling throughout, the 'Wayfarer' EP offers a tantalising taste of what's sure to follow from the Life On Earth stable.

Frankfurt's celebrated producer, Philip Lauer returns to Especial, this time teaming up with Berlin based vocalist Dena for a special collaboration, covering Julie Stapleton's soulful House classic with a modern interpretation across a number of versions (vinyl and digital). 

After the success of the Hotel Lauer EP on Especial way back in 2016, Lauer has continued his ascendency with albums for Permanent Vacation and Running Back, as well as releasing a string of sure-fire, dancefloor friendly EPs for the likes of Cin Cin, Futureboogie and Skatebard's Digitalo Enterprises.

Born and raised in Bulgaria, before making the move the music mecca of Berlin, Denitza Todorova has a carved a path with her electronic, dance pop stylings across releases for the likes of K7 and Kitsune Music. First appearing on Make It Stay from Lauer's last album, it jumped out as the perfect partnership to bring the raw, soulful and uplifting sounds of the cult V4 Visions label up to date. Founded by Alex Palmer, the label was part of the UK's early 90s club sound, releasing street soul, deep house and more, in Where's Your Love Gone, Palmer and 18-year-old writer/vocalist Julie Stapleton hit on the perfect marriage of Lovers Rock and Street Soul yearning with the haunting sounds of US House. Presented as a new take on the classic, but with utmost respect, the EP starts with the Club Mix, a Larry Heard bassline joins a marimba melody, lifting Dena's vocals of youth's lost love and pain. This is followed by the Demo Mix, a warm, beautiful string laden original take that Lauer and the label felt had to be included. 

DJ Slyngshot is welcomed to provide a deep, tech remix. A name to watch via his releases on his YAPPIN label and recent EP for Workshop, his remix is an analogue twist of hypnotic, raw dub techno percussion and counter breaks builds as string and piano join. The EP ends in the Synthapella, as bongos, cowbell and whistle are added to create a drifting Balearic version for late summer nights and dawn that highlight Dena's vocals in a 'sunrise' light.
