VINYL RELEASES

Shall Not Fade - 3 Years of Service

Lake Haze - Lost in Saint Petersburg

One of Detroit’s finest exports is legendary house and techno pioneer, Gari Romalis, and as we enter what could potentially be a summer of love he creates an outstanding four track EP, “Black Traxx Matter”, spreading a message which scratches way below the surface, using music as a tool to share. The body of work spans across distinctive and slinky deep house energy, oozing class and emotion, notably what we have all come to love and adore in Romalis’ back catalogue. Music from the soul, for the soul, coming soon on Italian label, Nicepeople.

Opener “Black 2 Da Future” rides an effortlessly cool groove, brushing by in the summer breeze, paying homage to brighter days. Next up is “Black Diamondz (Africa Mix)”, consisting of a tight and punchy drum arrangement, and warm and infectious sub bass. Welcoming you with open arms.

“Black Luv” is lighter on its feet than the previous tracks, a definite housey spring in its step, all of the elements conversing in sweet harmony. A cruise down nostalgia lane. “Purpose Reprise (Motivate Mix)” closes this wonderful EP. Six and a half minutes of pure bliss which shifts into a pure and powerful moment when a spoken word sample enters the room, as the soft keys work their way around the message.

A masterpiece body of work from one of the most esteemed artists in the game. The Nicepeople label keep continuing to propel high quality sounds from new and established artists, with a healthy schedule already pencilled in for 2021.

The established heavy hitting outfit, Nicepeople, kick things off for 2022 in true style. Dropping early next year is their latest slice of house heaven, the package comes in the shape of three originals from Gourment De Funk, and a nostalgic "Chicago Boogie'' trip with the legendary Roy Davis Jr. Sounds good already, right?

Title track "A Love Supreme" initiates proceedings on the A side, slick percussion teases you into a journey of funk bliss, warm and infectious bass taking you on a cruise, with feel good strings all working in sweet harmony to make this a must have record. On a more driven tip is "The Way You Move" another animated groove experience, and boasts some smooth sax action for the fans amongst us.

Roy Davis Jr’s "Chicago Boogie" remix of "The Way You Move" is an upbeat number for the peak time dance floors out there. The irresistible bass totally takes over your movements, you can not help but to move to a track like this, the veteran producer certainly not letting us down with this one, fitting the ethos of the label, and yet crammed with the signature sound we have all come to adore from Roy over the years. Closing off the EP is the "Never Lost (GDF Morning Dub)" seductive deep house for the early morning dancers. Crisp hi-hats brushing by as you feel yourself swallowed up into the clouds. One for the dreamers.

Nicepeople never seem to take the pedal off the gas, consistently pushing their brand and propelling top shelf house music from an array of inspiring producers of old and new, and they begin next year exactly as they mean to go on.

Nicepeople have released some serious players in the past couple of years, from established legends like Orlando Voorn and Boo Williams through to newer talents like Khadeeja Grace and Soulvibe Inc. Now it's the turn of Giuseppe Scarano and Gourmet De Funk to lay down the deep house mission in a classic New York style - just listen to 'Gotta Move (GFD Party Stompin' Mix)' and you'll know what we mean. The sampling alone nods to Big Apple legend Pal Joey, while the sax-licked groove has a MAW vibe to die for. The quality keeps up across this record, leaving you with some forthright garage house pieced together with knowledge and flai.

After the highly acclaimed ‘Positive Vibes’ EP by Orlando Voorn, the Dutchman able to forge links with the Detroit originators thanks to his Midas touch, and abandoned the dancefloor-oriented vibes of ‘Feel Good’ - label head honcho Giuseppe Scarano’s debut EP, including a powerful remix by Chi legend Paul Johnson - and of Soulvibe Inc.’s ‘Inside To Outside’, NICEPEOPLE drops a blissful brand new EP without compromise from veteran US deep house producer Vincent Floyd.

After his releases in the mid-90’s for Dance Mania, Relief and Gherkin Records offshoot Resound Records, it was only in 2014 that original Chicago deep house producer has enjoyed something of a career renaissance with the release of ‘Moonlight Fantasy’ on Rush Hour and, since then, he’s been a man in highly demand.

NICEPEOPLE is glad to welcome his understated but utterly engrossing deep house sound he's made his own since the early days.

‘Music Therapy’ opens up with the mesmerizing house haze of the eponymous track, testament to Floyd's impeccable composition and production skills, that drives us through wonderful dreamy sceneries, to then catapult us into the notably skippy beats and chiming melody lines of ‘What Have We Done?’.
On the flip the infamous Italian producer Nico Lahs, one of the most worldwide appreciated Italian artists of the last ten years, on remix duties, who supplies a more jackin’ version and brings it to the next level adding more emphasis and percussive grit without ever neglecting the melodious goodness.
To close ‘You Never Knew Me’, a deeper track with a sumptuous introspective sound very much in the classic deep house mould of Larry Heard.

Veteran Chicago House pioneer Boo Williams delivers stand out genre melding EP on Italian record label, NICEPEOPLE. The three track EP meanders through elements of house and techno with real depth. This is the “LOL” EP, landing January 2021 on vinyl, and you can happily say this one fully lives up to its expectations.

The title track “LOL” chugs along with pure energy of sounds of the past, twisting beeps and bleeps whirring throughout. The shuffling drums make this one, brushing by as they continue to drive the opener. The clue is in the title here as Williams uses trippy samples of laughter which flash in and out throughout the duration.

Next on the agenda is “Backwards Run”, a blissful deep and emotive encounter with Boo doing what he does best. Trickling synths and pads meander around a clean cut house arrangement, voices circle around the belly of the track making this another hypnotic outing.

Elastic bass creates a sense of urgency in “Bangin Out”, the last of the EP which takes up the whole of the B-side. A real abrupt and direct track, the kind that leaves the crowd in a trance when utilised in the right moment, creating suspense in the club room before elevating to the next track. A tinge of acid and intelligent keys arrangement make this masterpiece.

This is Boo Williams at his finest once more, landing on a label that is not afraid to push a variety of sounds as long as the consistent quality is there. A real nod to sounds of the past, no egos in sight, just plain and simple effective dance floor sounds from one of the heroes of this vibe.
