At Night EP

Come and Get It

@sofa-talk is known for his wide ranging tastes that spans house, funk, neo-soul, jazz, broken beat and downtempo. He’s the founder of Cognitiva Records and has a monthly residency on the ever-growing Universal Rhythms. His sounds can be found on Banoffee Pies Records, Yam, Ini Movement, Tusk Wax, Broken District, Omena, and Anma. Up and coming Italo talent @xlregular hails from Rome, and operates with the dancer firmly in mind. He’s been making a name for himself by skilfully mixing and cleverly blending a myriad of elements of jazz, hip hop, and jungle, all squeezed into broken beat. Together Piero Paolinelli and Alessandro Giacchi have released previously on Omena, ANMA, Cognitiva, INI Movement, Nómada and Monologues.

On the ‘Afro Quarters EP’ Sofatalk & XL Regular cook up a collection of loungey deep house and intricate broken beat, laced with the live instrumentation, the result being this wonderfully jazzy EP. It is comprised of four electronic jazz-funk infused house tracks which make for a perfect testimony of their musicianship. ‘Rumble Strip’ kicks off with broken beats turning into a 4x4 house beat filled with percussion, dreamy keyboard licks and sultry vocals to underline the floaty vibrations. ‘Afro Quarters’ is up next pushing further into their signature jazz infused broken beat house style, with funk bassline and key stabs that make it hard for the dancer not to move! Throw in some tastefully done flute and Rhodes solos for the mature sound they’re known for. Third track is ‘Easy’, and contrary to its name it’s not as chilled as you’ think! It’s incredibly groovy, and is reminiscent of the masterful work of Kaidi Tatham, with its heavy staccato bass and keys, and dreamy jazzy chords balance it all out. ‘On The Run’ closes out the EP while continuing the overall vibe of luscious warm chords and some unbelievably impressive broken house beats.

Outplay’s second outing on vinyl is here! This release features three tracks by Outplay’s Daniël Leseman on a well deserved solo EP. The tracks have the warm and gritty feel we’re so crazy about. Together with Daniël’s signature bright brassy synths and his use of the right samples, it makes this EP a package with a fantastic funk and groove!

Outplay’s third vinyl release will be from young Mancunian artist Loz Goddard. With releases on Large Music and Editorial he has been making a great impression with his combination of disco and beatdown house. A well balanced blend between samples and synth work makes this a varied EP and a great showcase for Loz’s sound. Outplay’s own Fouk takes care of the remix, turning the lush “It Will Come To Me” into a solid dance floor track with added bass line groove.

Move It On

For the fourth Outplay vinyl release we welcome Laurence Guy to the family and have Brame & Hamo on remix duties. It’s paired with two originals by Outplay's own Junktion and Daniël Leseman.
Laurence delivers a wonderful synth driven opener with “Strings Attached”. While Junktion brings his familiar grooves with the jazzy “Breakfast at Midnight”, Brame & Hamo flip it into a dubby stomper to heat up the floors. Daniël Leseman gets to round up the EP with his warm and melodic “On My Mind”.

We recon it’s time for a full Junktion EP on Outplay! You can say Wide Awake is an appropriate title after a wonderful 2015 with a string of EP’s on Sleazy Beats, Razor-n-Tape and Rose Records. This four tracker explores the sound he’s been developing over the years and even touches a newer side. The EP opens with the title track “Wide Awake” and embodies the signature Junktion sound with a summery balearic touch. “What We Are” is a faster synth laden affair coupled with his usual sample action. “Sunny Side Up” is what the title says it is, a sunny disco track driven by a groovy bassline and a funky rhythm guitar. The EP closes down with “Don’t Mess Up” for a more contemplative jazzy track with some smooth sampling and afro touches.

What We Are

Outplay’s newest project is a special 10” vinyl release with 2 tracks by artist New Franklin Theory. 
The name was inspired by a past in Midwestern USA. As to who is behind the project, some ears might pick up the resemblance to another artist you all know well. Digging into his past is the main inspiration behind New Franklin Theory’s two-tracker. Expect two uptempo percussion filled melodic tracks with a slight afro-inspired tropical vibe. 
Comes with a full colour sleeve design by www.joosprintsandpatterns.nl!

Overhill Road Variations

Overhill Road Variation #1

The return of master Loz to Outplay! After releasing strong stuff on labels like Razor-n-Tape, Quintessentials and Quartet Series and some recent remix action on Melbourne’s Kyoku, monsieur Goddard has made a new EP for us as a perfect follow-up to his 2015 Loose Jams!
He presents a wonderful EP of three varied tracks showcasing his prowess in combining synths and sampled bits. First up is uptempo discofied “Hazy”, which builds well on the sound he’s become known for. On the flip there’s deep dusty chugger “Peaches” and sweet, sweet melodies in synthy groover “Murmur” to provide a proper close to the EP!

Rule of Three EP

Hazy

@justsayfouk might have been curating Outplay since 2013, but their ‘Butterfunk EP’ is in fact the duo’s first proper EP on their own imprint. It’s not that they’ve been resting on their laurels: they’ve dripfed a handful of EPs on the likes of Heist and House of Disco over the past few years, and released solo efforts on Kolour Ltd and Razor ’n Tape that stormed the charts. It’s been fascinating to see the Dutch pair slowly break the mould, moving from heavy sampling in favour to an emphasis on original instrumentation and production.

The Butterfunk EP is a fine showcase of their prowess in the studio, loaded to the hilt with contemporary dancefloor funk. Things kick off with the rolling drums, off-beat percussion and seriously infectious Hammond lines of Organ Freeman. Title track Butterfunk is aimed squarely at the hips with its smooth keys and perfectly placed vocal, while some acid lines give the track a little edge. 

Flip over for the bumping ‘Wong Way’, a chunky workout with a rubber bassline. The finale of the EP is ‘Winter’, a fantastic slice of 80’s inspired downtempo mushroom jazz.

Butterfunk

After their Butterfunk EP from last year, @justsayfouk are back again with their new offering “Mating Call EP”. As the name suggests, this three track EP is made for the hot & heavy moments while dancing away, during those infinite summer days.

The title track “Mating Call” is a funky beast, driven by a very infectious bassline and live instrumentation, edging the line between disco and house, as has we have come to expect from the duo. The next track on the flip furthers the fact that this release is all about the groove. Housey vibes with a classic hint, Rhodes floating on a solid rolling funk bass. “Just Feel Good”? Yup!

Finally we come to “Down Below”. You might wonder “what’s down below?”. Well, there you can find a dreamy thumper, driven by the compact kick, repeating drone and deep bassline, while the synth pads in the middle tie it all together.

@junktionmusic presents New Franklin Theory - Chemical Boogie

As Hans Peeman’s side project next to his Junktion moniker, New Franklin Theory returns to Outplay with a very personal project. Five carefully produced songs in the form of a mini-album of sorts, which 
showcases his journey into more melodic synth heavy work.

Starting off, “Andromeda Beach” eases you into the spacey atmosphere of the record with dreamy rhodes supported by his distinctive percussion and bass work.
Following, “Homeward” introduces melancholic synth lines grounded by an infectious bass line for a Balearic inspired feel. “Afterburner” ups the tempo with warm arpeggiated Juno sounds and saxy disco samples, which will remind you of his previous work. 
Space-funk-synth-boogie, that’s what comes to mind when listening to “In Orbit”. Instant groove with a solid beat interspersed with brief vocal samples and dreamy rhodes chords. 
As the closer, “The Holtzman Effect” (award for 2018’s most nerdy song title, look it up) sets you off floating away on warm chords and bass together with characteristic space bleeps.

Out on vinyl and digi, 24 September!

Andromeda Beach

The new Outplay release is by young and upcoming dj/producer @cleanfieldmusic, or “Jelle” as his mom calls him. Hailing from Arnhem, the Netherlands, it’s always great to see another talent pop up in the Dutch scene! He has made three super catchy tracks for us, perfect for the summer season! 

First up is the title track “Haute Cuisine”, warm bouncy bass topped with a super infectious lead melody and percussion. If there is a track more suited for the festival season it’s this one for sure! 
“Hot Wheels” races on with a deep rolling groove, fuelled by wahwah rhythm guitars, warm synth chords and arpeggios. 
“Conflict With Clayton” brings another solid groove to the table with scattered vocal samples and multiple synth layers. Scorcher! 

So imagine dancing your ass off to this EP in the sun and feeling fantastic, we sure are!

In light of their recently released Surr Rendez-Vous EP, Scruscru & Meowsn serve us an exclusive 1 hour mix filled lots of unreleased goodies! Enjoy!

Get Surr Rendez-Vous EP: https://outplayrecords.fanlink.to/scruscru_meowsn
Surr Rendez-Vous EP is a patchwork of creative sampling, wonky jazz chords and powerful synth melodies with a small sprinkling of tongue-in-cheek makes for a super cool four tracker. The story of the tracks made us reminisce of the rise of the loose beat, broken house of a few years back, while this one still feels very contemporary.
Being a firm believer of letting the music speak for itself: enjoy!
