pacific beach / h track knows music more than many

2018

Swedish DJ, producer and songwriter Johan Blende debuts on Hell Yeah with a journey to the heart of a grown-up dancefloor in the Med.

Blende is a master of mixing up retro 70s and 80s sound into modern dancefloor delights. He's been doing it for two decades on a wide range of cultured labels from Studio Barnhus to Eskimo, always with a rare charm and leftfield perceptive. With this EP, he taps into the magic of hazy afternoons turning into euphoric evenings by the sea.

'Off To Mallorca' jangles with taught bass notes and sunburnt vocals. Distant synths glow, the jumbled percussion injects just the right dose of ass-wiggling funk and this playful yet sophisticated cut builds toward a blissful rapture. 'Television' ups the ante with prickly acid panning about the mix over sleazy, low-slung drums. Tension simmers as edgy synth motifs stalk the groove and anticipation builds before the whole thing explodes into a cosmic disco payoff. It's raw, unpredictable, and perfect for when things start to get a little weird.

'Como No Brasil' gazes skyward and basks in a wash of shimmering melodies and breezy, wordless vocals that drift like clouds over layered, sun-drenched rhythms. It’s a dreamy, tropical float until a surprise acid storm rolls in and moves things from tranquil paradise to dancefloor hypnosis. Finally, 'Carousel Bagatelle' is a layered, late-night trip that feels both playful and introspective. Hypnotic synths swirl around screwy acid lines and supple, dubbed-out house drums that spin you into a daze.

Blende’s debut on Hell Yeah lands like a postcard from a perfect party - sun-dazed, acid-kissed and endlessly replayable.

Montreal-based outdoor enthusiast Unknown Mobile offers up his debut on Normals Welcome with this 12" full of gentle hand drums and wavey melodies.

His dancefloor sensibilities then interlock with Vancouver's amiable Big Zen for a spaced-out collab track on the B side.

Slick Shoota delivers the second Ball Em Up release. 
"Qualia" starts off innocently with lush chords before a reese bassline and menacing drums builds into a breakddown with hardstyle inspired sensations, before it fully drops into a raw rugged club weapon.

On "Hyperflexx" Slick Shoota is back in familiar footwork territory, flexing razor sharp 808s, scattered drums and a hook with instant appeal. 

Full release 26.01.18.

Up on Sydney's @outertimeinnerspace debut VA, 'Sweet Echoes Vol.1', Melbourne-based producer @midnighttenderness delivers a slow-churning slice of spaced-out dub that orbits in a quiet bubble of its own, far, far away from daily struggles and paranoia-inducing news threads.

We are happy to say that French Press Lounge is back in action with the latest from Orlando's own Blair Sound Design, a four tracker aptly titled "4-In-1."

Kyle Lyon has had a wee obsession with the history and spoils of bootleg ephemera within and surrounding underground dance culture, video games, and consumerist visual culture at large. Whether it be an absurdly good unlicensed remix on a mysterious white label, an old RPG soundtrack from a long-defunct NES game developer or a remarkably "bad" utilization of classic house tropes, there lies a beguiling sense of charm and humanness in such things appropriated with creativity and love for the medium.

Returning under the Blair Sound Design name after releasing "Console Humidity" in 2018 with Lobster Theremin, Lyon begins to unload the multitude of sketches and tracks from the last 4 years that aim to explore and marry the crossover point of classic house stylings and illegal instances of entertainment technology. "4-In-1" is perhaps the most tool oriented selection in this coming wave, with a focus on wildly, loosely swung percussive maneuvers, scant use of melody, a drop of piano chords, decidedly busted sampling mechanics and big emphasis on his signature "8-Bit 808" sub-bass, culled from the Nanoloop Mono synthesizer cartridge using his own DMG-01 Gameboy handheld game system.

Rough, ready, and kind of annoying: "4-In-1" feels like an honest attempt to celebrate and crystallize the nascent thrill of electronic (re)production in an age of technological democratization and a culture obsessed with the notion of authenticity and the self, inherent or fabricated. As was once said,

"You see, HOUSE is a FEELING...."
"House Music ALL Night Long!!!"
"Ooo, baby!"

Out digitally May 1st; limited-edition of 41 hand-dubbed cassettes to follow.

Thank you for absolutely all of your ears and support of the only things keeping us alive: love and music <3

Today we have a very groovy house number from WäMä. The track "Hermit (detailseventy3 Mix)" is filled with a plucky bass line, pummeling yet dexterous drums, and discombobulated vocal samples. It's the sound of fun and confidence combined and it's not to be missed.
