Drum machines, electric pianos, and catchy vocal samples take center stage on Georgi Barrel’s “Rhyme Goes On,” a nostalgia-soaked 12” on the Istanbul/Barcelona-based record label Petra. Joining a catalog of quality releases by Niclas Kannengiesser, Ugur Project, and label owner, Eren Erdol, PTR018 fits nicely into the label’s ethos of releasing timelessly-good music with little care for the boom and bust cycle of passing trends.

On both "Rhyme Goes On" and "Recycle," Barrel works to reinterpret tried-and-true sounds and combine them in new and exciting ways. Its mission accomplished in our minds as both originals (and their remixes) hold their own in our crates next to recent favorites and re-discovered classics. Smart, swift arrangements keep things interesting as sampled raps repeat over jazzy chords, dusty drums, and rolling bass lines. On remix duties for "Recycle" is German veteran Hodini, a Bolting Bits favorite with standout EPs on Money$ex and Wolf Music and previous remixes on Toy Tonics and Tenderpark. Stretching out the original arrangement, Hodini turns "Recycle" into a DJ's dream that rides out a brilliantly simple groove that does away with the original vocal in favor of sultry chords and steady drums.

For the rework of the title track, Petra stayed in-house, tapping up-and-comer Kerem Akdag to add some synth-laden goodness to the rough and raw original. By subduing the original vocal sample, Akdag lets his synthesizers do the talking. Lush pads, subtle bass, and delay-soaked leads come together in a compelling arrangement that begs for a replay after its reasonably quick runtime. The various elements weave together to make every changeup feel like a familiar surprise as they take turns leading the track.

Rhyme Goes On drops next month exclusively on vinyl. Pre-order the release and check out the rest of Petra's releases on their website here.

K15 'SUNBEAMS' (EGLO58)

@xxxy offers up a new tune on his even newer “sour edits” label. We’ve been assured that every cut has been tried and tested across karaoke bars and working mens clubs across the world. Such a relish and zeal for scientific process from now Berlin based xxxy and his label serfs really get us going at FH HQ. And, it is with this novel method that “NYC WOMAN” was spawned; an almost violently funk laden edit at its heart - if your body doesn’t start some small involuntary movement in time with that nonchalant snare, it may be too late for you. If not, take my hand, walk with me through the crowd - everyone is waiting for you and can’t wait to be reunited. xx

The Expansions - Ivory Mountain (STW Premiere)

French/Swiss act Sweet Fruity Brunch is gunning for Max Graef's crown on this track! Jazzy piano licks, vocal chops, swing heavy sampled beats, skipping synth arps and a swamp funk bassline all lineup for something I think would fit quite nicely on Money$ex Records. A talent to keep your eyes & ears on for sure!

The track is also part of Volume 2 of Tartine's "Untartined Tapes"

Out 16th Feb!

Release Date - March 9th 2018

'Unison' is taken from  the new record by Culross Close entitled 'Moments'. We are all heavily distracted and struggle to exist in the moments we have, instead we focus our efforts on editing our ideas and ourselves in a chase to cultivate something 'perfect'. Moments matter, whether they be filled with joy, creativity or grief and engaging with music is a perfect way to exist in the moment.

Forbidden Cuts welcome back Columbian producer Felipe Gordon for his second EP!

Based in Bogotá, this esteemed producer and DJ has been making a name for himself with releases on his own label Nómada Records, as well as Toy Tonics, Waze & Odyssey’s Street Tracks, Seb Wildblood’s imprint Church and many more. He has a lo-fi, jazzy house sound filled with feeling and good vibes and here shows off his ability to lay down loose grooves once more. Brilliantly smooth opener ‘Run Run Run’ is a track full of warmth and feel good funkiness with trilling and modulating Rhodes harmonies, squelchy synths and bumping drums all getting you going.

The more drunken, hip hop influenced ‘Jambalaya’ is a perfectly stripped back but jazzy track with lush Rhodes, samples and a wonky acid bassline that will make you jump to the dance floor.

Last but not least, the magical ’I’m Mr Señor Love Daddy’ is the perfect track to wake you up. Yet more loose and playful Rhodes and summery harmonies rain down this one as a heavy driving bass line and hip swinging claps all get you moving.

This is a timeless EP of perfectly loved-up and cosy house music.
