“Once upon a time, along the coasts of this sea, passed the silk road, the route of salt and spices, oils and perfumes, amber and ornaments, tools and weapons, of wisdom and knowledge, art and science.
Here different people and races have continued to interweave, unite and dispute for centuries as perhaps in no other religion on this planet”.

These are the words that introduce - in Italian, on the back cover of the vinyl- the new album by Flankup Recordings ‘Sidi Bou Said’ (the second to date in the young catalogue of the Italian label), out in December 2023 on vinyl and in January 2024 in its streaming/download versions. It is the very first issue of the new homonym sonic pair, composed of Paolo Russi (one half of the two masterminds behind the imprint/aka Discojuice) and Marco Lanfranchi (aka Indy).

The Milanese duo, who originally joined forces over the creation of the score for a short documentary film, which aimed to tell the story of two brotherly cultures (the Sicilians and Tunisians from the northern coast) later, through the energy that their music generated, got the idea of making it a proper record.

‘Sidi Bou Said’ is, indeed, a stunning five-track composition, to be released on vinyl and digital versions where Paolo and Marco lay out such an inspiring array of Arabic influenced Disco, Afro-House and Balearic rhythms to give life to an acoustic, perceptible musical exploration through those Mediterranean lands and gathering, in the most sensitive and conscious way, the sounds that portray them.

The EP takes the listener on an auditive pilgrimage to the loudest and most vibrant Sicilian road markets with ‘Babbaluci’, then on to the unmistakable essences of the spices and the sounds belonging to the streets of the white and turquoise neighbourhood ‘Sidi Bou Said’, located north of Tunis. Then to the coastal town of ‘Hel Haouaria’ with its wind and shiny waters. This specific track sees the birth of an alliance with Byron The Aquarius, who gives his very personal interpretation with a ‘Late Night Dub’, before drumming back into the reprise of the ‘Sidi Bou Said Theme’.

‘Sidi Bou Said’ EP represents its creators’ sonic experience, with its estival sounds recalling a distant-near dimension, full of warm, intense and vivid feelings, to be relived anytime soon.

After a bit of a hiatus we're back in full swing at Exotic HQ, and absolutely gassed to get Boundary onto the label with a transcendent double LP that hits you right in the feels.
Hailing from the Dominican Republic, Boundary is a producer that we’ve had an eye on for a while, putting out music with a maturity and depth well beyond his years. Sometimes brilliantly raw and gritty, at other times delicate and refined, he leans heavily on all the good stuff from early Detroit techno, UK & Japanese ambient, and leftfield techno, stitching things together with immaculate drum programming, wandering basslines and ethereal pads. Ranging from deep, glassy ambient through to 140 bpm (and beyond!) pumpers, this is classy techno from start to finish. Think Aphex Twin meets PLO Man with an early Detroit twist. Limited cassette, don't miss out!

Oxido En El Espejo

PREMIERE: Boundary - Las Aves Ya Saben Donde Ir

There was a strange atmosphere in the amphitheatre, onlookers were perplexed by what they'd seen, fascinated and intrigued. A rumble reverberated from the tall speakers in each corner, blasting noise down upon the gathering with a ferocious force. Soon they would all be under the hypnosis of the spell, the performance had begun.

There had been concerns that this would be too big, too grand and too ambitious to pull off but as the lights became dimmer and dimmer it was clear that the plan had worked.

Soon they would all be long gone.

RS065 - Wallace - Papertrip [EP Preview]

2024 gets underway, @oathy are thrilled to share the imprint’s latest long play, which comes courtesy of rising star Moonee - and you better believe its a solid gold stunner…

Francois Lefevre, the producer behind the Moonee name - alongside his group projects Twice Movement and Simple Request (with French House royalty Tour-Maubourg) - really optimizes all that is bold and beautiful about the House genre. The release of ‘Wabi Sabi’ on Groovence in 2022, then ‘Primal Groove’ on Slothboogie last year, has already helped Lefevre craft a significant space for himself under the Moonee name. His sound is one of tremendous melodic feel, with a plethora of rhythmic patterns and atmospheres being utilised to help create a bountiful sonic universe. His attention to how the groove unravels and how progression can be used softly but subtly really comes over strong, immersing the listener in a very warm place indeed. As beginnings to discographies go, this start is immensely strong, and one which provides a rock solid basis for all sorts of excellence to come forth.

PREMIERE: Moonee - Balagne [Oath]

After a brief hiatus, the SlothBoogie Records crew are back with an exceptional label debut from Danvers. You may know him as one half of UK duo ‘Kassian’ who have previously released on SB, but here he flies solo with 4 tracks of expertly produced electronic, acid washed breaks.

Whether it be the liquid tinged euphoria of ‘Angel Break’, the speaker wobbling brute that is ‘YOU&ME’, the saturated acid warmth of ‘Heat’ or the otherworldly journey of ‘Distant Recalls’, this EP is the mark of someone who is a master of their craft and poised to heavily influence the sound of clubs with his unmistakable style.

Rounding off the EP is LA native and underground House devotee Juliet Mendoza who re-shapes ‘YOU&ME’ into a thumping 4/4 workout, primed for the late hours when the strobes come out.

Recording of my set at Output club in Brooklyn NY NY for the No Name party: https://www.facebook.com/NO.NAME.LIFE

***My first time outboard recording sets so there's a few hiccups and skips in it, didn't edit anything out!

Had the 1st slot so expect smooth opener jams played on a rooftop during sunset at 76 degrees Fahrenheit. Kept it low key lot's of old classics from Carl Craig, Juan Atkins, UR, Trans X etc etc and few newer joints thrown in Palms Trax, Kyle Hall, Omar S etc etc
Hope you enjoy!
