DJ Laurel - Funky Nassau [Discoholics Anonymous Recordings]

Essential Rarities: A selection of 28 killer edits from illustrious discoteers...  experts of the regroove format... built for dance floor domination.

In its finest expression, the disco edit is disinformation, a way to scramble the signal of the familiar into something uncanny, a means by which to mis-remember the past, to pull a switcheroo on memory, to suggest parallel dimensions to its dancers. 

The hard-driving grooves, the organic grit, packaged to appeal to disco funk fetishists, a limited-edition selection... dance-with-edge: avant-funk, mutant disco vibez... 

A totally unscheduled resurrection of avant-funk and disco... the inhibited and coercive treadmill rhythms, the constipated basslines, the desolate dub-space. 

... with its multiple connotations of madness, fury, and deranging euphoria: the ultimate merger of aggression and celebration, 
packed with febrile hyperspeed percussion, ominous basslines, dizzy sensations of harrowing bliss, a haunted/hunted vibe of spooked-out paranoia...

So Good

So Good (Slow It Down Dub)

Miguel Migs - So Good (Slow It Down Dub) PREVIEW

“Ecos Até a Manhã” é uma jornada musical que une a intensidade emocional de uma balada cinematográfica com a energia vibrante da dance music moderna. Cada versão — Cinemática e Cintilante — revela uma nova faceta desta história de amor e esperança, transformando a noite mais escura em um nascer do sol repleto de luz.

(English reference: “Echoes Until the Morning” is a musical journey blending cinematic emotion with modern shimmering dance energy. Each version — Cinematic and Shimmering — offers a unique perspective of love and hope, turning the darkest night into a sunrise full of light.”)

Ecos Até a Manhã – Versão Cintilante

2CD/Digital Album Available - https://zrecords.lnk.to/ProducedWithLove

The new Joey Negro album ‘Produced With Love’ is now available across all physical formats but as the double CD contained 20 tracks it wasn't possible to fit everything onto the 3LP version so the 'Space Time EP' is a new vinyl EP containing some of these tracks that weren't ready in time to make it on to the vinyl LP.

"Distorting Space Time", a drawn out dubby, jazzy, spacey track that suggests a heavy Arthur Russell influence, one that is already a firm favourite of Gilles Peterson, Louie Vega and François Kevorkian

[FEP003] Impassioned Grooves EP

- Tracklist:

1 - Coconuts
2 - Highlight Groove
3 - Tropical Boogie
4 - Zooming

For our third EP on the Mandrill we welcome back our more consistent artist on the label: C. Da Afro with four outstanding tropical cuts. To introduce the release 'Coconuts' arrives with a fresh marimba, a distinguished strings section and latin piano chords making it a perfect combination to start any type of set. Right next to it comes 'Highlight Groove' an amazing afro-vibe cut with a prominent bassline, a phenomenal saxophone solo and exotic female vocals. On the third position 'Tropical Boogie' brings a chilled vibe to the release with french house touch to it among vocoders, analog synthesizers and digital basslines. For our last but not least 'Zooming' ends this story with a romantic taste with a synthesized bassline, an 80's drum pattern and a nostalgic female vocal unwinding thing up.

Brand new track sampling England Dan & John Ford Coley's - Love is the Answer! 

Took the yacht rock original and flipped it with additional live bass, guitars and flute and added club ready drums.

Do you want the samples and three tutorial videos outlining how I chopped up the sample using volume shaping; how I created generative collaborative percussion parts and also hyped up the vintage drums using multiband compression?

Love Is The Answer (Soundcloud Edit) Samples and Tutorials in Description 👇👇

As one of the longest standing independent record labels in the US, Nervous Records has built its reputation through a willingness to take chances on new sounds and new producers. Nervous was the first American label to sign and release tracks from such dance industry luminaries as Armand Van Helden, Paul Van Dyk and Nuyorican Soul. This spirit has enabled Nervous to build a catalogue of hits that spans the complete range of underground dance and hip hop genres.

The label was famous almost immediately when it started back in 1991 because of its eye-catching, very distinctive cartoon character logo. In addition the first three releases were produced by Roger S., Kenny Dope, and Todd Terry respectively, representing the three best house producers of that time. By 1992 Nervous was featured in magazines like Billboard, DJ Magazine (cover story), Mixmag, and ID, hailed by all as the “Sound of New York nitelife.”

Nervous’ first major dance release came in 1992, with “Feel Like Singing” by Sandy B. Nervous decided at that point to focus its energy on expanding the label’s musical field. The label’s first step outside the house music arena was with the Brooklyn, NY-based rap group, Black Moon, whose single “Who Got The Props” virtually put Brooklyn back on the map as a center of hip hop. At the same time, the label decided to alter the Nervous character for this release, giving it specific hip hop characteristics, and calling the hip hop label Wreck Records. Massive success followed with the Wreck imprint, as hits soon followed by Smif-N-Wessun, and Funkmaster Flex.

Nervous decided to continue to expand its musical boundries in 1993 by signing Mad Lion, which would be the first reggae artist on the Weeded imprint. Once again, there was huge success as Mad Lion’s single “Take It Easy” sold over 250,000 units.

Meanwhile, the Nervous merchandise continued to produce massive sales numbers as it established itself as one of the most favored t-shirts for the youth cultures of America, Japan, and many European countries.

In 1994, the label decided it was time to move into the electronic genre, and started an imprint called Sorted. The first artist on that label was Josh Wink, who went by the artist name Winx. While Winx’s debut release was a critical success although not a major seller, Winx’s follow-up release “Don’t Laugh” became the American dance community’s most talked about single, and ended up selling several hundred thousand units worlwide. Subsequently Nervous released Winx’s debut album, “Left Above The Clouds.” This album was one of the first “electronica” albums to be released, and lead to Josh Wink being signed to Sony as an artist. Nervous also released an album by two Long Island based dj’s, DJ Micro and Vicious Vic. The album, entitled “Progress Into Our Future,” since became a seminal album for the crew of Long Island dj’s that currently dominate clubs with their hard trance sound.

In 1996, Nervous virtually single-handedly created a garage house music revival by releasing the debut solo artist album by house music legend Byron Stingily. Byron was formerly the lead singer of gold-selling group Ten City. His second single on Nervous, “Get Up,” went to number one on dance charts around the world, including the Billboard Magazine club chart in America.. For his album, “The Purist,” Nervous assembled an all-star cast of legendary House producers, including Frankie Knuckles, Masters At Work, David Morales, Basement Boys, Maurice Joshua and MK.

As the musical trends continued to evolve in the late 90’s, Nervous continued to create new imprints to remain at the cutting edge of all independent labels. Nervous Dog was created to accommodate the emerging harder-edged house sound of New York; Strapped was the home for uptempo, club oriented hip hop Party tracks; and Nervous Chill released the down tempo, jazzy grooves that are always in vogue in the newest restaurants.

The label also has had many successful tours over the years. One of the biggest was in 2,000, when the Nervous tour was sponsored by Playboy Magazine and KAMEL cigarettes, and featured DJ’s Jackie Christie, Razor-n-Guido and DJ Escape, along With PA’s by Nervous artists Byron Stingily, Charlotte And Kim English. In addition, Nervous created what became one of the Winter Music Conference’s most original Parties, the Nervous After-hours breakfast at Denny’s, which featured an International list of dj’s entertaining conference attendees at 5:00 AM while they ate their grand slam Denny’s breakfast.

In 2000 and 2001, the energy tribal sound dominated the US club and Nervous gave America’s club-goers four of the its most dominant anthems, “Skin” by Charlotte, “Ssst…Listen” by Jonah, “Unspeakable Joy” by Kim English and Dive In The Pool by Barry Harris featuring Pepper Meshay. During this same time, the label has also created many successful compilation series, among them “Hip Hop Independent’s Day,” and “Future Progressive,” and “Club Nervous.

As the hits grew in number, so did the value of the catalogue for sampling purposes. Nervous songs have been sampled in major hits by Mariah Carey, New Edition, Coolio, Flip Squad, Basement Jax, George Michael, Soulsearcher and more..

In 2006 Nervous gave the US one of the biggest dance radio records with What A Feeling by Peter Luts & Dominico, a track which won the 2007 WMC award for Best Euro Dance track. In addition, Nervous delivered the most memorable US underground track of the year with Ralph Falcon – I Need Someone, which was also number one club record of 2007 according to Billboard Magazine.

In 2008 Nervous had two of the top five most played records of the year at dance radio, with Bellatrax feat. Sophia May/I Can’t Help Myself and Every Word by Ercola featuring Daniella, and ended the year as the two most played label at dance radio in the USA according to Billboard Magazine.

Nervous has also made a strong foray into the compilation market, building a roster with some of the most credible house music. The past twelve months has seen full length cd’s from Oscar G, Ralph Falcon, Funkagenda, Mark Brown, Behrouz, Chris Lake, Starkillers & Austin Leeds, DJ Theo, Exacta and Marlon D. Second half of 2009 will see releases from Danny Krivit, Frankie Knuckles, Tom Stephan, Peter Bailey and Richie Santana and Anane (produced by Louie Vega. 

In the grand tradition of Nervous launching sub-labels to embrace the next sounds to take over Nitelife ... In 2011 we launched Nurvous Records.  With the Indie Dance / Nu-Disco sound that has erupted from England and is now barreling towards full speed in America, one of our primary goals is to provide innovative homegrown style; and bringing back emotion to the music, squashing the over-commercialized big-room invasion.
