The second EP from Soma’s 20th Birthday series is a landmark release. Soma’s 300th, comes from Silicone Soul, with an almighty set of remixes of their ‘Right On, Right On’ classic, including Nick Curly, Ramon Tapia, Fergie, Darren Emerson and M.A.N.D.Y.’s 2002 remix. Hatikvah have also submitted a beautifully deep rework of the Silicone Soul original, which will be an exclusive on the Soma 20 Anniversary box set, released in September.

 The dream team of Ferrer and Sydenham fabricate yet another seminal track.

Ferrer and Sydenham have been consistently knocking out superb stuff on Jerome’s Ibadan label for years. 'Sandcastles' keeps the streak going.

The original 'Sandcastles' - with its sublime piano line coming into its own late in the mix after a lengthy lead in of subtle percussion, throbbing bass drums and stellar synth play. A warm and lush track that utilizes building beats that emit a piano line and finally a wall of synth strings, round this track off perfectly.

Pressed up the same on both sides, as if he knew this one would get an extra amount of play. A confidence that can be traced back through the numerous amounts of seminal releases this man has had a watchful eye over.

If there was an essential Ibadan release – and an argument can be made for many of them in some form or another – this would certainly be high up on the list.

The summer is hot and the stages remain empty but the fans have spoken and we refuse to stop the beat here at Kompakt! London’s own @kiwidj joins us with “Hello Echo” to fill your boombox park hangs with 3 epic blends of disco, house and everything in-between.

To those unfamiliar with Kiwi here’s a quick intro. He’s the mind behind Crossbreed, the talked-about label and party series coming out of London. His early music endeavors saw him release on coveted labels like Disco Halal, Days Of Being Wild, Deep Shit, Optimo, Mood Black, Correspondent and we cannot forget the massively massive single “Orca” released on Futureboogie in 2017. He’s now ready to share the fruits of his lockdown with this debut for Kompakt.

We ring in with the title track ”Hello Echo” featuring Bestley on vocals. Simply put, THIS is that disco-fied feel good single that is as essential as every hot day requires a cold drink in hand. Sexy and bold, “Down with the Rhythm” an immaculate bass line and a vocal that would make Dave Gahan proud. “Acqua Panna” is a favourite for us here. A crazed breakbeat mingles with a lost piano and synth that seems to jam on nowhere but somewhere that we find is very dear to the dance floor.

Kiwi - Hello Echo Feat Bestley

Taken from the Rush Hour catalogue:

We’ve been getting a lot of requests for this record, since the Detroit crew (Theo Parrish, KDJ & Rick Wilhite, Carl Craig to name a few) picked up on it at the end of last summer… We've repressed some in order to supply the demand..grab them quick 
Side A is an extended disco version of Use Me, morphing in to and out of the original like butter. Clocking over 8 minutes Use Me Again becomes somewhat a modern take on the original disco version. It’s got enough drive to make a dance floor go crazy.

Side B meanwhile is an exclusive from his live set. Here he strips the classic “Over & Over” to the minimum before sliding into the original groove only for a moment, only to continue to ride the rhythm again.
