Broken Chord Soundcloud Roundup 9/6

MC006 01 Rafa Barrios - Rhythm Is That (Radio Edit)

The Butcher

The Butcher (Extended Mix)

Snowy peaks emerge from thick cloud cover, just like pointy kickdrums pierce dense plots of smooth chords and dubby synths. LAZIC019 explores high-altitude beats with London-based upcoming artist FLORENTIA and her debut EP, which comes enriched by two remixes by equally talented Andrew Azara (Cecille) and Brad Brunner (Take Notes).

A rising talent on the electronic music circuit with standout performances at Paradise and elrow, FLORENTIA has been on a roll with quality cuts on Circus Recordings and elrow music, among others, and she's now touching moon ground with two elegant, driving minimal tech productions. Title track 'I Found You' marches steadily cool with hypnotic energy and trippy rolling drums, while 'Need No Man' rolls with slinky grooves, bubbling bassline, and catchy vocals that set the tone for echoing stabs to shine flawlessly. Rounding out the package, Andrew Azara offers one of his exquisite trademark full-bodied grooves for a magnificent, late-night ballad, while Brad Brunners keeps things nice and tight with a percussive, stripped-back version.

Following notable solo output across labels including Get Physical, All Day I Dream, and his own Super Sapiens imprint, Luca Saporito makes his Hot Creations debut with ‘Talkin’ Like Dat’. Balancing dusty, vocal-led grooves with deep, rolling basslines and crisp percussion, the track marries hip-hop nuances with dancefloor sensibilities, marking a long-awaited first appearance on Jamie Jones’ iconic imprint.

“I made this track within the arc of two days in my studio in Ibiza. Came together like dat! It draws inspiration from that golden-era hip-hop energy (think A Tribe Called Quest) but with a fresh, modern edge. I never sent any music to Jamie before until he started playing ‘U Don’t Want This’, which helped define my musical style a bit more. Coming out on Hot Creations after many years in the scene is truly a dream come true.” - Luca Saporito.
Adding to the package, Rome’s Whitesquare has been proving himself as a DJ and producer of note since 2012, blending deep house and techno to deliver fresh, eclectic vibes. His remix of ‘Talkin’ Like Dat’ adds trippy and hypnotic melodic layers, delivering heightened rhythmic drive and providing an interpretation for all hours of the night.

With a career spanning over two decades, previously as one half of Audiofly and now as a solo artist, Saporito has amassed millions of streams and played stages around the world, from Fabric London and UNVRS Ibiza to Warung Brazil and Piknic Electronik Chile. His work consistently blends meticulous production with dancefloor intuition, earning him a devoted following and recognition as a versatile, crowd-connecting selector.

The hot fire hissed and spat, it's billowing smoke creating a mushroom-shaped cloud in the thick black darkness. The inhabitants of the village gathered around it fixing their gaze firmly on the rising orange flames. In unison they began to chant softly under their breath, barely an audible murmur leaving their lips at first. Gradually their chant grew louder and louder, more venom and passion creeping in with each word. This voodoo ritual took place every evening and for those under their spell, an unfortunate end was certain. 

Stockholm's Tom Tom Disco deliver their first vinyl release courtesy of Hard Fist label heads Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Raï. The pair team up to bring their signature sound to the label via psychedelic rhythms, tribal EBM and cold wave. Lithuanian producer Roe Deers is taking care of the remix on our pick, employing trippy drum work and layering over haunting spoken word.

People Pray Together

PREMIERE: Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Raï - Spell On You (Roe Deers remix) [Tom Tom Disco]

There was a beautiful light which shone brightly through the clouds as the birds flew amidst the sun kissed sky up above. It was a gorgeous day and the waves moved softly against the sandy shore. The beach was busy with people and sun worshippers who had come to the plaza on an elegant spring break. There was sauce, dancing and intrigue floating upon the warm air and the world was wide open with opportunity and adventure. The sunset would come and they would be lost in the darkness. 

Energizeur is set to release a new EP on La Chinerie, a beautiful sun kissed balearic affair which sits somewhere between the late night adventures on the dancefloor and the early morning sunrise. It's very strong indeed.

Melancholia

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.
