Can u feel it? This is cleary one the most iconic quotes in a classic house track from the mid 80ˋs. Influenced by this era i was always into creating a mood in music where you can let yourself loose and just be yourself. I made this 3 tracks with quite some time inbetween but somehow i always come back to a certain pattern and feeling and so it turned out these would fit together for an E.P.

Italian master, London based Stefano Ritteri takes centre stage for the latest edition of Shir Khan presents Black Jukebox — number 32 in this illustrious series. This one is a chiefly electro-flavoured affair, joining the dots between the genre’s past, present and future across four slick tracks — with a dash of garage at the end.

‘Slow Tripping’ is a homage to the charismatic boogie sound of the early ‘80s, resplendent with beautiful melancholic melody and a wistful air. As the name suggests, the lazy beat perfectly compliments the array of dreamy sounds, and there’s a definite nod to French disco/electro/hip-hop fusions of days gone by.

‘Donna’ is a collab with Mytron (Bordello A Parigi, Multi Culti)which continues the chuggy theme, its gently swaying synth arpeggios and unhurried beat recalling some of Soulwax’s more pared back material. Its simple arrangement is kept engrossing with synth automation and subtle atmospheric touches.

‘Brutesque’ strips things back to an almost minimalist approach, where twanging, monotone sounds slowly morph over a taut backbeat and a variety of bleeps and blips. With its spoken word sounds and Krautrock-ish mixture of sounds, it recalls the work of Public Service Broadcasting.

‘Robot Love’ takes its cues from the sweeter side of 2-step garage, bubbled down to a more laconic pace. Cute melodic refrains and big reverbs adorn the stuttering rhythm to make for a colourful, atmospheric, reflective track.

Marcel Vogel aka Em Vee joins the RNT roster with a 4-pack of unsurprisingly heavy edits. The Lumberjack In Hell label boss takes us on a little trip through one of his own eclectic sets, starting with the oddball boogie of You Move Me and then moving on to the hands-in-the-air positivity of Spreading Energy. On the flip it’s the uptempo afro burner Don’t Be Sabi Say, with the 12” concluding on the whimsically catchy I Wish I Knew The Words. Tried and tested and found true!

Thanks to @boogie-cafe-records for letting us premiere this great track from @lay-far

"Embrace the Contradiction" is a groovy piece of Broken Beat / Broken House. Heavy basses on a cut rhythm are swinging next to a delicate vocal and nicely crafted keys. Defo a super tune!

"Während der musikalische Fokus von OYE in den frühen Zweitausendern besonders auf Latin und Brazilian Music lag, hat sich der Laden mit seinen beiden Filialen in Kreuzberg und im Prenzlauer Berg in der folgenden Zeit zu einer der wichtigsten Anlaufstellen für House, Techno, Disco und Artverwandtes entwickelt. Und OYE verkauft längst nicht nur Platten. Diverse eigene Labels wurden aus dem Umfeld der Läden heraus gegründet. Außerdem entstand eine hauseigene Partyreihe, die sich auf Vinyl-Sets spezialisiert hat."
