B2. OLI FURNESS – NIGHTCLUB ROMANCE

PRESS RELEASE:
Maintaining the focus firmly on the underground and keeping that no-frills party vibe running throughout their output, Music Is Love keep things flowing at a steady pace with their 12th release. Dedicated to continually curating original ideas, the premise behind MIL012 is all about the label paying homage to their most prominent musical influences. Leading the way behind the new concept entitled Tribute, head-honcho Oli Furness teams up with one of his favourite producers - Chicago house legend Paul Johnson - for a four track EP, with two tracks from either producer intended to highlight the impact of Johnson's impact and influence as an artist.

Paul Johnson has been a staple of house music over the past 20 years, and has long been a revered DJ and producer known for his distinctive rhythm and soulful sounds. Continuing with his penchant for up-front house music, Johnson kicks off the EP with Movin Baby. A stomping 4/4 beat marches over an intermittent vocal grab, while 90s afflicted key chords flourish steadily on top of trailing drum sequences to give a predatory rhythm with a solid dance-floor focus. 

I’m A Freak follows up, infused with the sort of unreserved energy that has characterised Johnson’s music over the years. A solid train-track house groove built from only the sparest of elements kicks things off, before a hypnotic vocal prevails over incessant percussive slices, a wubbing sub bass and thick melodic tones, racing alongside the flecked groove for five minutes of deliciously locked-in pleasure. 

Irresistible, stripped-back grooves are clearly a preoccupation for Furness, who delivers more heavy-hitting house in the form of Gurl and Nightclub Romance. Gurl is characterised by crisp, clean percussion sequences, snapping snares and an entrancing male vocal that coheres rhythmically over the cowbell and marching drum combo. 

Laying the focus on a classic house aesthetic with acid-fused textures, Nightclub Romance finishes off this well-crafted EP. Acidy stabs and shuffling drums coerce against a flurry of hi-hats and sporadic, dubbed vocal murmurs to give a stomping groove aimed squarely at the dance floor; its unadulterated, primitive authenticity make it the type of track that would have worked just as well in the 90s as it would have today, a testament to the thematic style of the whole EP

Hotly-tipped Glasgow duo Manakinz are next up on Jasper James’ budding imprint Mitchell Street Records with a vigorous three-track dispatch. Behind the duo is Jasper’s father and house music legend, James ‘Harri’ Harrigan, and venerable selector Max Raskin (AKA Affi Koman). Both are steeped in Glasgow’s rich musical history, with Harri being one of the legendary faces behind Scottish institution Sub Club with its world-renowned flagship residency Subculture, and Affi Koman is a local fan favourite known for his lauded Sunday Circus residency.

Established in late 2018, the duo’s productions have bagged support from a long list of respected artists, including Andrew Weatherall, The Black Madonna, Levon Vincent, Ashley Beadle and Bill Brewster. 

The EP leads with ‘Snakehips’ a frisky peak-time brew loaded with propellant, tribalised drums and a soulful vocal cut set to stir. On the B side, ‘Yamaha Rumba’ runs with the headiness, amplifying the atmosphere with a maelstrom of synths and skittering keys, and it hits the spot with the release of a lustful, lascivious female vocal. ‘Partizan’ completes the package, giving listeners a robust, heavyweight club track.

PREMIERE: Manakinz - Partizan

Not for the first time and likely not for the last time either – we welcome Swedish West Coaster Nyreau (@nyreau) to release his debute EP with us, Café Repis. The EP name references his favourite local Café, where many sets were played, more ideas - good and bad – were discussed, and even more beers were drunk .

He brings to you 4 tracks of signature sample-based house amazeness sprinkled with rave-y stabs and cut-up vocals – that can teleport you from even the greyest of places to a colorful open air where you just were served a mimosa and in a second will spot that cute guy/girl you saw at the 7 Eleven earlier.

Ross Barringer a.k.a. That Guy Ross  is a 20-year-old producer and DJ from Surrey, UK. Having already made a great footprint with his label Elation Industries, with artists such as Kleur and DJ Loveshy having successful releases already and releases from Mr.Sosa and AWITW lined up, it felt like a great time for Ross to knuckle down into the studio and put down his sound, resulting in Chicane, an idea that resonated in his head for weeks.
