PREMIERE: Martha Dark - Promise [theBasement Discos]

Pioneering NYC house label Nu Groove Records is proud to unveil a four-track EP of originals from fellow NYC house legend Jovonn.

After nearly three decades without a release, the cult house label relaunched in 2021 spearheaded by none other than Jovonn with ‘Random / Get Over It’. Following his ‘Funn Houze EP’ released earlier in 2023, the Brooklyn native is back with his ‘Blaque Katt EP’, a masterful display of innate musicality combined with an affinity for roaring ’90s-inspired club music.

For the lead, ‘The Piano Fix’, Jovonn creates a dichotomy between the delicate nature instrument and the heavy, sweaty feel of the dancefloor. This is followed by a harder pianistic technique in both ‘The Piano Fix Returns’ and ‘Let Me Tell You Somethin’, showcasing the producer’s flair for harmony and melody.

Closing the immersive collection is ‘Drop That Traxx’, a playful track featuring addictive, syncopated hooks over a pounding four-on-the-floor beat. Throughout the EP, Jovonn displays his talent for gritty, hard music made with tender care.

A2 The Piano Fix Return

Vinny Villbass hails from Oslo and is a sonic guru and master musician with decades of experience in the house scene. He's a vinyl junkie, guitar, and synth player who, next to solo work on his own label Badabing Diskos, has released on Eskimo, Beatservice and Trunkfunk, in addition to curating Pantha Du Prince's 'The Bell Laboratory' project. He is one of the most pivotal figures in his native scene of Oslo, having previously lived - and made his mark - in Berlin and New York.

Vinny doesn't rely on sequencers, so every bit of this new album is played by hand on synths, guitars, drum pads, samplers or percussion. In this case, we see a playful mix of different genres under the broad house umbrella, making this a record for dancing and driving, deep thinking and dreaming. He says of its title, "Windows give us glimpses of future possibilities, framed by memory and imagination. Through the perpetual windows of technology we also see the parallel world of digital content. My music represents the views from my own windows. What do you see through yours?."

'Ski Station' opens up with jangling guitar riffs and pumping nu-disco beats full of life and charm before tender chord work enriches the airwaves. 'Frau Hoffmanns Zimmer' is an increasingly unhinged cosmic trip with pulsing synths and full-blooded house drums, a foundation for squelchy lines, swirling pads and bristling live percussion. 'Lerwick Open' is another fulsome arrangement that brims with vitality as Vinny plays everything from the serene chords to the Balearic guitar riffs and techno-disco drums.

'Go To Stay' ft. Khan is an eight-minute dub, house and disco fusion with retro-future synth motifs shining bright next to vocal dubs and smeared pads that extend to the heavens. There is real funk in the house bones of 'Greenpoint', which dances about effortlessly as an ecosphere of synths and melodies light up the airwaves. 'Orient Espresso' features Vinny's brother Anders on flute and is a warm and inviting world of dynamic synth work, clever effects and dance floor fun. 'Taksi Helsinki' is an introverted trip to the stars on shimmering melodies, and 'Saraholmen' ends on a heavenly note with well-treated vocals panning about the mix and bringing celestial vibes to another irresistible Vinny rhythm.

This exceptional album will be followed by an instrumental live show that reanimates the entire record in full this Autumn, while badabing is also to host a mini festival in Lisbon in September. ‘Windows’, meanwhile, is the latest essential chapter in Vinny's captivating house story.

‘Windows’ arrives in full on September 29th, with singles arriving weekly from the 25th of August through to the 15th of September.

PREMIERE : Gabreal - Lose Myself (Kaveh Remix)

Mark Hawkins has been a mainstay of Aus Music and the underground scene for years. He is an accomplished studio wizard who can do a dizzying array of styles with equal energy and emotion. His adaptability has kept him en vogue ever since he first emerged from the UK party scene in the 90s. He has played all over the world but now focuses on refining his production and engineering skills evermore as he follows up his recent LP on the label with this fresh new offering. ‘Open Hearted' rides on a broken beat electro rhythm with surging chords washing over you like a wave of emotion. An aloof but sensuous female vocal is a perfect hook as the kinetic drums make you move, and the psychedelic synths stay busy in the background. The equally brilliant 'Let U Fall' is a gorgeous and bright house cut with an alluring R&B vocal. There are hints of modern hip-hop production in the snappy snares and colourful synth details, while rich piano chords and driving drums are sure to sweep the dance and floor up and away.

PREMIERE : Mark Hawkins - Open Hearted

entaSkai undertook a period of research into the underlying structure and organisation of the human brain before writing ‘The Architecture Of The Mind’. The Berlin-based artist then took what had been learned and kept it in mind when writing the music that marks Mask's first album release. It comes with extensive background notes on each track, and an operational manual of sorts - notes from the artists as to the effects each piece will have on those who hear them.

"The message conveyed by this album is that life itself is filled with music, but our egos often prevent us from being in harmony with this symphony. Inner chaos and silence can be challenging to bear, leading us to seek solace in external noise. We have constructed a barrier between our inner and outer worlds, causing us to lose touch with the rhythm of harmony. However, by embracing the illusion of separation and dancing to good music, we can rediscover harmony with ourselves and our environment. To fully experience the essence of the album, it should be played loudly on a proper sound system or high-quality headphones. By immersing themselves in the music, individuals can engage with its transformative power and potentially find a deeper connection with their own minds and surroundings." - ZentaSkai

The gorgeous 'Mind Mapping' opens up with deep and dubby drums and lush harmonies that soothe you to your core, '030' then has more raw, heavy drums with many layers of glowing synths, glassy melodies and organic found sounds. 'Fügung' keeps the deep and introspective moods coming before the crisp tech of 'Flow Dreaming' ups the ante with more drive and layers of vocal whispers, hi-hats and smeared dub chords. Elsewhere the likes of 'Quiet Reflection' lean into the groove with swirling pads and one-word vocal sounds drifting through the air over propulsive drum loops, and 'Boiling Range' suspends you in deft synth loops amongst the stars over a prickly house beat.

The superb synth craft and well-designed grooves continue through the dusty deep house of 'Karl-Marx-Allee' and minimal dub of 'Dynamic System' before the elegant melodic techno of 'Apeiron' and dreamy synthscapes of 'Parallel 30' close the album in a reflective fashion.

This is a deeply evocative album with a fully realised concept that is as thought-provoking as it is immersive.

The Architecture Of The Mind LP

PREMIERE: ZentaSkai - Fügung (feat. Laura Merino) [MASK]

A collection of well oiled heaters, bold in balearia and backed by two equally naughty reworks from Cooper Saver and Longhair.  Dip your toes into a sonic oasis of sunshine vibes and lounging sounds on title track 'Peaches & Pools', then slide into the sunset with the melodic keys and bassline groove of 'Wrapped In Memories', before hitting the dancefloor to the cosmic cowbell and throbbing synth line of 'Tricks She Said'.

Next up we’ve got some raw analogue heat from Philadelphia-based talent Billy Bevevino. His single “You Want It” is a straight-up club tool, featuring in-your-face vocal hooks and hard stabs, all glued together with a rolling bassline and pounding drums.
On remix duties we have label favourite Naux. By ramping up the bpm and stripping back the original to its bare essentials, we’ve got a hot new take with an infectious bassline and that signature French touch.

A little snippet of a track I made last week on a easyJet flight from Naples to Berlin. Felt quite inspired so I thought it would be nice to finish this one and share a little snippet with you.
