this one right here is for the lovers of house, funk, disco, soul, ukg, hard house and prog house…

funky fresh

Remade the 1992 Let The Passion Pump bootleg! To be honest this mash up version was quite good and almost as good as the Degrees of Passion bootleg, but sadly the start was horribly out of time on the original 12" of this release. I think they must mixed it live back in the day?
New link as it has reached it's 100 dl limit.

A multi-talented figure in the global house landscape, Amsterdam’s M-High has emerged from his ‘one to watch’ tips from a long list of key players in the industry. His growing sound has seen the Dutchman take in a wider range of influences from minimal through to electro, leading to releases on LOCUS, You&Me, and Djebali, amongst others. Following his heavily requested anthem ‘Devil’, the young talent stands out again as he makes his Hot Creations debut with a trip through futuristic basslines and silky, smooth house rhythms across his four-tracker, ‘Search 4 Pleasure’.

“A release on Hot Creations—what a moment for me! Huge shoutout to Jamie Jones for believing in my music and picking the tracks for this EP. I recall discovering countless tracks with the iconic palm tree artwork when I first started with music. It’s thrilling to see my own name alongside that same palm tree almost a decade later—a
surreal realization. This EP features four tracks that have been highlights in my DJ sets this past year, and I’m excited about the early support they’ve received. I can’t wait for you to experience the energy poured into this project. See you on the dance floor at one of the Paradise parties soon!” - M-High.

Up first, ‘Taste It’ merges acidic tones and sci-fi grooves that playfully dance over flickering stabs and lush, soulful vocals. Next, 'This ‘N That’ delivers thudding kicks and swirling sirens that lock you into its relentless breakbeat groove, while ‘Hello You’ harnesses an infectious bassline with assertive percussion and electro-tinged melodies. To close, ‘Search 4 Pleasure’ continues to bring the energy as sparking synths and robotic vocals go to work to shape up the EP in style.

M-High ‘Search 4 Pleasure’ drops via Hot Creations on 13th September 2024.

OZORECS003 - GRIGGY - All Positive EP

GRIGGY returns to ỌZỌ Records with the All Positive EP, a two-track release packed with energy and groove. Side A - All Positive channels pure oldskool rave energy, blending classic organs, uplifting vocals, and a driving rhythm designed for the dancefloor. With nods to the euphoric sounds of the '90s rave scene this one’s a peak-time heater recently supported by Theus Mago at Zamna Festival in Tulumn. Then Side B - U Hear That? Switches the vibe up with a deeper, rolling groover. Driven by a catchy hip-hop sample and bouncy bassline, this track is made for heating up your warm up sets.

Staying true to the ỌZỌ sound, the All Positive EP delivers a perfect balance of rave nostalgia and contemporary house energy — a testament to the label's mission of uniting dancefloors through timeless groovers...

The quality of sampling in music, like DJing, is often decided by tasteful selection and arrangement rather than heavy processing and editing. This is something noticeable in some of the best modern dance music, and Parisian label, Sampling As An Art, is certainly close to warranting such description.The label, headed by S3A, is set to release a four-track record of – to use what’s no doubt become a trite joke – sample-heavy music deserving of praise for its genuine artistry. Each track of this EP is quite different to its company, and we reckon we’ve landed the best of the lot for our premiere: the A1 tune by Sweely, Dollar G.

Lively percussion persists with full musical force during the whole eight minutes of this jazzy, house number, introducing itself in tasteful layers throughout the opening part of the track until a bass and piano, with quintessential jazz timbre, slide in smoothly.

Almost four minutes in we realise where the song was headed all along: toward a soulful female vocal harmony that lifts the music up another level and keeps it there until the end.

A second track of this quality could justify a two-track EP. Luckily, the other three are almost on par, we think. Bogota’s Felipe Gordon adds some acid-jazz fusion, before a daft-punk-style Pnom Pen remix and a stripped back, sax-samples-and-all cut from G2S round off the record on the B side.
