Brame & Hamo are two chaps from Ireland who seem not to be able to make any mistake in their releases and online sets. Everything is just dope. Their killer release “Street Urchin EP” on Dirt Crew had to be repressed by popular demand. Brame also released on Drumpoet and Morris Audio. 
Whats so special about these guys is; they found a way of combing Hiphop and House in a way we have never heard before. They pull it of perfectly! Something this podcast will prove.  
Also good to know; they just started a new Vinyl only label Splendor & Squalour, we so happened to hear some previews and it sounds mint! 
We think their style can be described as uplifting strong Deephouse, with a flavour of HipHop and distinctive synths and stabs. 
So check out this podcast. It has some surprising factors!

Big up to these young fellas. We hope for a prospective future, we can not see it any other way!

Enjoy !

Feature & Interview

Phonica Mix Series 44: Louie Vega

DJ Tyree Cooper Live @ Kater Holzig Berlin Dec 8, 2017

A very special and personal tribute mix dedicated to the memory of Paul "Trouble" Anderson. He was one of the most influential British DJ when it came down to break the Soulful House and Garage sound coming from NYC / New Jersey in the late 80's and early 90's. 

His unique, raw and intense style of mixing secured him countless gigs from early raves in the second summer of love to his legendary Loft parties. His adventurous programming at the Advanced Dance Mix Show on Kiss FM was unlike any other dj's in the early 90's. He was definitely championing the American flavors of the House spectrum while at the same time incorporating Disco classics, Italo House, Breakbeat oriented tracks and early european "funkier" Techno tracks. Somehow he was a British equivalent of Tony Humphries with his own personal twist on the music. 

This mix features anthems from The Loft and The Advanced Dance Mix Show. Play loud and do remember : "Trouble is in the Land"!!! R.I.P. Trouble!

LOUIE VEGA BREAKS DOWN HIS GRAMMY NOMINATED REMIX OF JASPER STREET CO. / PRAYING FOR YOU

 I've been a huge fan of Jasper Street Co. and its producers Teddy Douglas and DJ Spen and the whole Baltimore family for over 25 years. Baltimore always had the Gospel sound in the pocket when it came to dance music. They've been doing it for years, and that Gospel influence inspired me to create some of my own productions and remixes with artists like Bebe Winans, The Winans Brothers, The Clarke Sisters, & Kenny Bobien to name a few. And who would imagine we’d be here? A Grammy Nomination in the Best Remixed Category for the Louie Vega Remix of "Praying For You" by Jasper Street Co. produced by Baltimore finest.  

Here's how it all happened. Michael Weiss from Nervous Records signed an album deal for Jasper Street Co., and he reached out and asked me to remix one of the album cuts. I listened to every track, but for some reason the song "Praying For You" stood out. I think the syncopated beat, and the driving backgrounds singing "On My Knees" in the vamp caught my ear. Besides it being a truly inspirational song, it had all the elements I would need to start the remix. 

What also helped solidify my choice to remix this track was when I went to a birthday party for Tony Humphries in New Jersey at the Cricket Club with guest DJ Teddy Douglas, Teddy played the track while I was dancing on the floor and hearing it in their environment…I said this is the one to remix! 

I went into my studio Daddy's Workshop with the stems and called on my keyboardist / collaborator Axel Tosca after I had finished up the rhythm track.  We revoiced the chords and vocal song elements giving it a new feel. I enhanced the syncopated loop that was there with more kicks, hats, claps, and it just created a driving beat that was a dj's tool if any and would get anyone movin' on a dancefloor.  

Once Axel and I finished up the music we called in Gene Perez (Bass Player of Elements Of Life) and he laced the groove and then the pocket was complete. I moved around vocals to create a vamp with adlibs giving you the force of testifying with a musical change that elevated you to an even loftier place. When I finished the overdub sessions (it took two sessions to complete) I thought I could build it even more with additional adlibs from the group. This required some extra coordination given everyone’s various schedules. 

I conferred with Michael Weiss and we decided to make a road trip out of it. A bunch of my New York nightlife fam came along, and we had a 4 car caravan rolling down I95 on a Sunday morning journey to Baltimore.  The plan was to do the recording at one of Spen and Teddy's studio stomping grounds, and then that night  throw a party afterwards at a small venue with fans to test out a rough mix of the session. 

The trip was a complete success! Having Vonita, Fruity, and Richard from Jasper Street Co. sing new backgrounds, along with a new set of adlibs by Vonita brought the song to that next level. It was the icing on the cake! And the party that night was incredible. The energy was through the roof when I played a rough mix of the song. 

That week I went back to my studio Daddy's Workshop and arranged what we recorded and my engineer Yas Inoue and I finished up the remix. The following Wednesday I went to play at my residency in New York City, Expansions NYC and before the night started with our staff we listened to the final mix and everyone went crazy dancing and feeling the track. We knew right there it was an instant smash! 
This track truly comes from the underground grass roots of dance music, and it’s a true honor to see that it is nominated for a Grammy in the Best Remix Category !!

Faith 008: Stuart Patterson, Terry Farley and Chrissy Guest Mix

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.
