Shir Khan marks the 37th release on his infamous Black Jukebox imprint with an all-killer balearic house record courtesy of mysterious Cécille-affiliated Cabin Luv Affair hot on the heels of his debut album which has seen support from Fouk, Laurent Garnier, Jamie Jones, Mr. V and Archie Hamilton. 

Here, the masked master lays out 5 convivial cuts that sit in a particular pocket between House and Disco; one that has historically been occupied by the likes of Pepe Bradock, Damiano Von Eckert and Andrés. A spot classically characterised by beautifully imperfect, sample-heavy productions that are shot through with palpable depth and soul.

The record sets sail with ’Te Siento’. Polyrhythmic percussion bubbles across the surface of a deep sonic pool that forms a bed for vivacious drums, romantic vocals and a spine-tingling strings riff. A hazy opening clears out before the backbone of recording shines through; an uplifting 90s piano motif that's later picked up by Xylophone tones while a tight, truncated bass line punches away at the track's core.

'Dance With Us' then rolls out a beautifully seductive mood. Softly shifting synth chords, a loose-limbed drum break and hedonic vocals whip up a hot and heavy vibe that shines with a distinctly Chicago-tinged elegance.

'Time Is Killing Us' follows up with an immaculately executed, 'last tune' House groove. A gentle but powerful euphoria is generated with swooning strings, more giddy piano riffs and another robust drum track that all gather momentum as progress rolls on. An ecstasy-crescendo forms before it crashes and fizzles before the lights go on.

'My Head Like Shibuya Crossing' then follows up with a tightly-knitted Deep House cut. Buttery melodies adorn an effortlessly kinetic bass groove before a delicate Japanese vocal bleeds into focus. As is the case with much of the record, the track graciously segues through its chapters with melody at the fore-front before 'Stuck On You' brings the record to a conclusion.
 
The quality runs right through to the close as the track bumps and hustles in a collection of snipped samples and totally irresistible percussion. A luscious vocal line carries the flame forwards, maintaining that sweet spot between playful and sophisticated making the tune a no-brainer for DJs looking to send a subtle spark out onto the floor.

Cabin Luv Affair - My Head Like Shibuya Crossing (Exploited)

“Better Days” represents a shift in both my music and personal journey. Creating started to feel more playful and genuine again. Following Breeze, this track felt like an affirmation that I was heading in the right direction - Even if you're not ready for the day, there cannot always be night.

Better Days

Spanish DJ & Producer Kiko Navarro takes control and delivers a 90's inspired house chugger of a remix. Dirty 'Strictly Rhythm' beats, italo floaty banger house inspired samples and classic piano melodies give the track a new, yet modern twist for the summer dance-floors.

WALTHER, Musumeci & Bakean - This Dance (Kiko Navarro Remix) - s0936

Greek duo Bonnie & Klein serve up an Aegean musical escape with their new Glam Pulse EP on Hell Yeah.

George Fountzoulas and Thanasis Skouzis are lifelong Balearic brothers who offer up their own soul-stirring take on the sound on labels like Music For Dreams and NuNorthern Soul. They are inspired by the sunsets and seas of their homeland and bring great imagination to their melodies as this new outing proves.

'Glam Pulse' sets a gorgeous tone from the off with wavy grooves and a peppering of percussion. As well as some singing guitar riffs, sundown synths and shimmering chords make this a steamy and seductive gem. 'Haleakala' is another perfect soundtrack to lazing on the beach and watching the sun sink into the sea while new age motifs wash over you and carry away your woes. Proggy guitars speak to the soul on 'Horizon Avenue' as woody xylophones and wispy leads ride on dubby bass and 'Sunion' closes with hints of melancholy - a lament for the final dance of a long hot summer with lingering trumpets lodging deep in your heart.

Bonnie & Klein tap into real Balearic magic on this EP and effortlessly transport you to a sandy paradise.

Dutch edit maestro Pete Blaker debuts on RNT with a pair of extended play summertime heaters! LOVE AND DEVOTION has been a staple in Harvey’s sets this year, and for good reason; it’s quite simply a disco banger of legendary proportions that reaches peak after peak in the course of its nearly 16 glorious minutes. On the flip DISOC takes us on a deep and mystical journey, with pulsing bass, shimmery synth and guitar work, swirling strings building to a climactic vocal hook. This 12” is a callback to the early double A-side days of RNT, with a pair of tracks that are worth their 180g weight in dancefloor bliss!

Nutritious – Chromatic Palms E.P.

Quick, somebody sound the klaxon to alert followers of chuggy-italo-cosmic-mutant style disco, we’ve got an absolute slam dunk here by Nutritious! 
Nutritious first came on our wave length via a flow of pretty amazing release via our very good friends at Paper Recordings (which you should really check out!) so we’re thrilled to snag him and his unique stylings on the Chromatic Palms E.P.

Norway in Italy begins the party and is a slo-mo funk laced groover with a relentless Bernie Edwards style bass line & ‘Nile style’ guitar licks that hook you right in from the off and guarantee much shoulder twitching. Spaced out synth sounds blast in & out alongside warped vocal samples to create a masterclass in how to do ‘weird & wonderful’ with a 10/10 score.

Acid Reign takes the crown for our most wonky sounding release of the year! Right off the bat is an insane sounding synth/bass sound hybrid that sounds like its from another dimension. A few disco strings pop up for a chat with some synth stabs, vocodered/Speak & Spell style vocals and a couple of dramatic drops make this an absolute dance floor mega weapon. Already favoured & supported by Richard Sen on his Do!!You!!! World! Show. BIG!!!
