house of lemons

Google tells us that at the centre of the Earth the temperature can reach anywhere up to 4,400 degrees Celsius. Google also tells us that this new Kyle Watson release reaches temperatures that are even HIGHER than that! Here at BoC the sheer though of that is enough to get our moustaches just a little bit moist.

At his core (see what we did there?) Kyle Watson is without a doubt the drum wizard, layering the most peculiar sounds with his drums to create an organic feel that is unimaginable to most common folk. With drums being the main focus for this release, you know it's going to be something special. Spray on your best anti-perspirant before hitting play on Mammoth - you're bound to get a little hot under the collar as the howling lead guides you through this sample-based record. Wipe your brows and compose yourself because next up is Where's My Snare, which has been a staple in Kyle's streams over the last year. It's a big club record at heart, but somehow feels equally engaging on repeat as you drip dry your armpits at home.

While recording your cat being vacuumed or your wife washing the dishes may feel like another day in the office to Kyle, we're still gobsmacked at trying to guess where he comes up with these ideas for the most unique drums and production ideas in the game.

Hide your cats and prepare your sweat towels, because Kyle has done it again...

Episode 16: The one where we tried to fix the heat using online tutorials, but then didn't. It turned out we got sidetracked by our DM's. D-Tek sent over a fire new track, and we thought...huh, that's hot!..so we signed it, and Torrfisk fixed an edit, but not the heat.

HLS379 Ben Fox - Get Down To Work (Original Mix)

It’s fitting that we have such a big release this week dropping from none other than GetCosy. This one feels like a big warm hug between friends, so let us paint the picture:

Cuddles coming from his right-hand side, we have CODES.. ooo so cosy!
Coming from the left-hand side we have we have Mr Russia, Mancodex... oooo so cosy!
Arms reaching from around the back, from LA we have Osker Wilde... oooooooo so COSY!
Hands running up and down your front we got the cutie SLATIN... OOOO SOO DAMN COSY!

GetCosy has really taken the word collaboration to a whole new level with this record. 

Fight For w/ Codes: Big Water Energy. with a slapping kick, bassy synths and naughty fidget vibes.
Morning Service w/ Mancodex: 'Relentless' groovy bass keeps this thing rolling into what ends up being such a sweet atmospheric breakdown. This one brings in all the feels.
Bad Beach w/ Osker Wilde: Bleep. Bloop Blop. This is jackin' energy from start to finish, the dancefloor energy we know you need.
Energy Vibe w/ SLATIN & Dread MC: ACID ACID ACID, CRUSH CRUSH CRUSH, ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY!
Lower Frequency Original (LFO): Finishing up we have an absolute STOMPER from Cosy himself. Full steam ahead, with the lowest of frequencies to melt your brain.

If this release was a hug itself it’d be from Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny and Buzz Lightyear all at once. Share the love!

GetCosy - CODES - Fight For (BOC154)

Fresh off his Dirtybird release - we present to you Frivolous Jackson, who is teaming up with XFDS for this occasion to bring you two contemporary high-energy and bass-heavy tracks.

'My House,' as the EP is called, features two excellent Bass House tracks, with the title track being a vocal heavy, bumpy ride that should go down well at peak hour, while 'Drip' blesses us with straight-up eclectic madness from beginning to end.

The Chicagoans have produced tracks that capture raw, low-end energy while combining it with the quirkiness you've come to expect from our label. And so, in short - we love this EP for you guys, and we're happy we finally get to share these weapons with you guys.

Out on Beatport: https://www.beatport.com/release/road-trips-ep/1961386
Out on 24/03/2017 in all other shops

It’s time to pack up the car and our daredevil is excited for the final of his many “Road Trips” across the vast continent. He throws on the booming stereo in the auto, while nodding his head to the reverberating and lengthy bass under the scattered layers of a somehow dark, but uplifting organ progression. The open road is his muse on his journey to the ocean.

The waves are rolling in on this crisp summer day in Cape Town and he feels confident. “Boom clap boom clap boom clap” is what he hears from the strong current striking against the rocks on the shoreline. He feels the persistent rhythm of the South Atlantic Ocean as he paddles out under the sinking sun. The warrior mounts the first swell perfectly and utters a subconscious, yet triumphant “Uh” as he descends from the peak. 

The sun begins to reach the horizon and the colors of the sky bounce and refract through the water, giving the scene an almost psychedelic feel. The seagulls click through the water searching for prey and they create scattered synths and sonorous cymbals from under the water. This whole day is really starting to get “Kinda Wavy.”

Q&A w/ @IamRIFFA
Label Manager @OKNFCollective & @OKNFRecords
-

1. Why did you specifically remix this song?

I grew up with hip hop and RnB and it has been my first and forever musical love. Poison was a song that consistently got great crowd reactions when spinning, so I thought why not give it a new modern spin. I wanted to bring that warm feeling from the original and give it a drop that smacked listeners in the ears. So what you have here is exactly that!

2. What got you into producing?

Music has been a part of my life from the moment I could start remembering things. I played multiple instruments growing up and always played in bands. From the moment I heard electronic music I knew that I wanted to produce it as it was the obvious and most easily approachable musical step.

3. Who are some up and coming producers that you have your eye on?

Arnold and Lane, Adrian Hex, Westend, Aylen, Ocean Roulette, Morelia, Roy Havens, Clem Lee, Sammy Legs, TCHilT, Das Kapital and Niqw. All these guys have come out of the woodwork in the past year or two and are pushing the boundaries of house music. MUST WATCH.

4. Drop some wisdom, any advice to the up and coming producers?

The biggest thing I can recommend is to not worry about staying in a genre lane. Make what sounds good to you and it will fall into place. While I have been in the booty and tech house genre spaces, I continually make things that don’t fit in those genres and it makes me think of things differently than I normally would.

Also, be respectful. This industry is just as much about personality as it is about the music. I hope that helps.

ScHoolboy Q Ft. Kanye West - That Part (Arnold & Lane's Part)

Q&A w/ @MNTRAMusic
-

1. What made you decide that you want to start producing?

Music has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mom signed my up for Bollywood dance classes when I was little, so the love of dance has always been a part of me. I really began my journey with electronic music while I was a sophomore at UC Berkeley I was a wall flower business major and music was one of my only real outlets to show I could “fit in”. I was the guy on the aux cord every weekend until I taught myself how to Dj and ultimately began making music. It’s been such an incredible journey of self discovery so far.


2. Why did you pick this song of all songs to remix? Any special place in your heart for the Gorillaz? (I mean who doesn't love the Gorillaz?)

This has always been one of my favorite songs. When I was in music school at Icon in LA the Gorillaz headlined Outsidelands Fest (2017) a San Francisco based music festival. I ended up sneaking onto stage just in time to watch the Gorillaz perform this song live to a crowd of 100,000+ people. The song has never sounded the same and as a result was stuck in my head for weeks, months, years even. Fast forward to a few months ago when this bootleg was written I was at the peak of a new relationship that was healing so many old wounds. On Melancholy Hill was my top played song of 2019 shout out Spotify algorithmic playlists.  It all made sense it was the fastest I’d ever written a song. 


3. Shout out some of your favorite up and coming producers!

DJ Yung Vamp, Eric Waters,TJX6, 645ar, Saka, Dernis, Morelia, AND SO MANY MORE (:


4. Drop some wisdom, any advice to the producers just breaking out into the scene?

I was never a musician in the classical sense music theory is something I still battle with on a regular basis. What I will say is that somewhere along the way I’ve learned to trust my ear more than anything and it’s gotten me some really interesting results (not all of them have worked). So I suppose trust your ear, and make music every day. The results won’t always be a number a song or even an idea that you like. Trust the process and laugh at yourself ALL THE TIME. 


5. Tell us more about Boiz House and what you got going on!

I get giddy even as I write this but Boiz House is literally my everything. I’ve been lucky enough to form a live music dj boy band with my best friends from college and there truly is no other feeling in the world like it. We’ve traveled across most of the west coast and played on some of the biggest stages at the biggest festivals out here together playing music that we’ve been working on in our living room. It’s been a truly joyful and testing experience as an Artist to be thrown into the pits (or backyard pool) of producing for weeks on end with some of your harshest critics but at the end of the day having the time of our life has always been essential to our journey.  If you haven’t heard of Boiz House you definitely will be soon! We start our West Coast Party Tour in Seattle this February so you might catch us in your neighborhood! Stay tuned because we boiz love house, bass, funk, jazz, disco, breaks, hip-hop & everything in between. You’re in for a boogie like no other. 


6. Whats one of your favorite production tips that when you learned it, totally changed the game for you?

LFO + OS2 Drive on the Ableton Auto-filter. 2020 Make Wubs Wubby Again.
