Every now and then a release comes along for us which carries just that little extra bit of weight and significance and the Mind In A Daze EP from Solid Gold Playaz is one of those.  The US duo have released some of my favourite house tracks dating back to the late nineties so it is a real pleasure to have them produce four amazing new tracks for us here on Freerange.  Kenny Gino and Mike T have had many highly rated releases on revered labels such as DNH, Moods n Grooves, Silver Network and their own Solid Gold Records.  Resolutely underground, and it’s fair to say criminally underrated, Solid Gold Playaz have stayed true to what they do by releasing the heaviest club music which connects on a far deeper level than your average new house release. I really hope you can give Mind In A Daze some time to grab you in the same way it has grabbed me. 
Kicking off the EP the title track sets the mood with an SGP rolling groove, hypnotic synths and tripped-out vocal delivery from Mike himself. For me, they consistently hit this beautiful sweet spot between jacking Chicago house, Detroit techno and the more European IDM sounds of ART, Irdial and B12. Always deep and musical but with a focus on what will create a magic mood on a late night or early morning dance floor.             
The Kiss gives us another expansive and immersive mood which can’t fail to draw you in.  A driving house groove with punchy claps make the perfect counterpart to the blissed-out widescreen pads and glitchy mechanised synth sequence making for a very special track.   
Let Me See You Jack goes straight for the jugular! Absolutely no messing about on this one, with crunching, unrelenting 808 beats laying a foundation for Mike’s twisted vocal drawing us to the dance floor.  What I wouldn’t give to have heard this dropped by Ron Hardy at the Music Box! 
Closing out the EP we have Optical Illusions, another SGP masterpiece for those who like it seriously deep! The long arrangement gives the track space to breathe and for that beautifully hypnotic vibe which SGP create so well, to really take hold. Serious Jackers Unite!

Starting again from the last groove of the vinyl. Starting again from the rhythm, from the energy, from a newfound need for sociality and tribal ritualism, for empathy, sharing, and dreams.  Starting again from the last Summer, when everything had yet to unfold. And finding yourself now with another Summer about to begin. New Tracks, Nnew Protagonists, a New Journey. Going further into connecting Two Generations, distant yet neighboring: the one that blazed the trail in the early Nineties and the one that continues to follow it Today, with a futuristic perspective, moved by a renewed ferment and an enthralling desire to express themselves and flow in unison, after the long silence of the pandemic. 
The flattering feedback received both from the audience and the critics after releasing the first volume of "Ciao Italia" inevitably inspired us with the idea of a sequel. A new volume animated by the same spirit and attitude as the first one: not a nostalgic or commemorative operation, but a propulsive thrust for a possible evolution. In continuity with the first part of the project, "Ciao Italia – Volume 2" also wants to be a tribute to the artists who wrote this story. Artists who were often forced to use multiple aliases, so many that they can't even remember them all. A story that still sounds incredibly current and that has had the merit of breaking that stereotype of xenophilia of which our country is an undying victim. Much more than just a "scene" it can be described as a mental state, a lifestyle, marked by unifying electronic pulsations, exotic and dreamy, ecstatic and liberating.
Surfing between the past, present and future, “Ciao Italia. Generazioni Underground - Volume 2" delves further into the origins of an era whose sounds and atmospheres remain an endless source of inspiration today. This time involving other seminal producers protagonists of that all-Italian golden age: from Cirillo, Kamasutra (Alex Neri and Marco Baroni), Savino Martinez & Claudio Coccoluto, Ivan Iacobucci, Riviera Traxx (Flavio Vecchi and Ricky Montanari), Tc 1992 (Roberto Intrallazzi and Marco Fratty, here in the remix version of the great Marco Trani) to Tony Carrasco (Exotica), Mauro Ferrucci and Christian Hornbostel (Nikita Warren), Pastaboys (Rame, Uovo & Dino Angioletti), Leo Rosi, Gianni Bini, Jonathan Tedesco (Beat Foundation), Fidelfatti, T.R.A., Oneiric & Vortex, Leo Young, Steve Mantovani, Daniele Mad & Dan E Mc, Corrado Rizza, Harley & Muscle. Additionally passing through unreleased songs by Joe Montana, Edward's World (Edoardo Milani), E.v.o.e. (in a special version remixed by Leopardo), Angelino Albanese, Bruno Bolla and Paolo Guglielmino.
Born from an idea of Daniele "Shield" Contrini, with the art direction of Stupefacente Studio, the collection also includes productions from some of the new "Underground Generation", ideally inspired by the iconic sound of that time, but at the same time kaleidoscopic and ultra-contemporary. Evidence of an avant-garde that is bright and alive not only in memories, but even now more than ever, in the tracks produced by: Baia Club (Whodamanny, Walter Del Vecchio and Dario Bassolino, representing the new Neapolitan school), Cosmo, Donato Dozzy & Rumi, GNMR, Dj SCM, Lvnar, Marco Erroi & Luigi Cordella, Lorenzo Morresi, The Mechanical Man, Populous, Hiver, TiEs and Feel Fly.
Once again, while the record slides under the needle, the hope is to be able to capture that magnetic atmosphere and regain possession of it for a few moments, clinging to the indomitable charm of the "underground" grooves. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Up next for Aus is label head Will Saul. Following his vocal heavy collaboration album as CLOSE for !K7 last year this 12" see's Will venture back to the dance floor for some light relief.

With anticipation for the release of his DJ-Kicks mix in June growing, he lets these two tracks loose to tide listeners over. The high-octane "Pedal Power", which also features in his DJ-Kicks mix, and the weighty but spacious "Valhalla".  

Both tracks were born out of a number of live jams on a small outboard setup with a laptop used only to record. A Jomox Xbase 999 drum machine triggering a Moog Minitaur for bass, all running through a number of highly tweak-able pedals and outboard fx units with a Roland Juno for pads. It was a refreshing low maintenance change for Will following the CLOSE album and there will be a few more 12"s of this ilk released over the coming months. 

This summer sees Will embark on an extensive world tour to promote his DJ Kicks album and look out for another CLOSE EP at the end of August which features 3 collaborative tracks with Second Storey (Houndstooth) and vocalist Kid A with an extra special remix from Seven Davis Junior

Fred P lands on secretsundaze’s self-titled label this week with ‘Trust’, on the first part of their new ‘Dance 2017’ concept that was announced last month. Listen to the exclusive premiere of the track above.

On ‘Trust’, Fred P – real name Fred Peterkin – provides a hypnotic dancefloor cut with a sample from Pepe Bradock’s ‘Deep Burnt’.

The track lands on the first vinyl release of the ‘Dance 2017’ series, alongside music from Nubian Mindz, James Priestley and Marco Antonio, with a full compilation to follow on Friday 27th January.

Speaking about their new concept, secretsundaze co-founder James Priestley said, “’Dance 2017’ references the names of dance comps of the late 80s & 90s. I first heard early house on a ‘NOW’ compilation in 1988 at the age of 15.

“I vividly remember being sat in my friend’s mum’s car parked in the school playground and stuff like MARRS, Bomb The Bass and Krush were booming out of the stereo. That was it, we were hooked!”

Listen to the exclusive premiere of Fred P’s ‘Trust’ above, and see the ‘Dance 2017’ 12” tracklist below.

A1 Fred P ‘Trust’
B1 Nubian Mindz ‘Testing Theories’
B2 James Priestley & Marco Antonio ‘Baia 2012 (Aybee's Solar Dub)’
