It’s not often that a breakthrough producer manages to cause major hype after just one release but when that artist is from the UK, putting out a brilliant EP on Moodymann’s Mahogani Music, you start to realize how it happened in Dan Shake’s case. Now it’s time for Dan to build on this incredible start and from the way things are looking it’s safe to say it’s all going in the right direction. Another rising star from the UK is Wolf Music regular Medlar who has been making serious waves the last 5 years. Remixes for the likes of Glenn Astro and Disclosure have all helped put him in the spotlight and his debut LP Sleep from 2013 delivered in spades. So when the news that these two were joining forces for a collaborative project reached us here at D.O.G we wanted in on the action.
The lead track entitled Walk has all the hallmarks of a long-lost Detroit house classic but with a UK touch that adds just the right amount of polish to the dusty MPC beats and phasing rhodes chord. Soulphiction adds a slightly deeper edge on his remix but keeps the vocals in place and pushes the beats in an altogether housier direction. Finally we have I On You completing the EP in fine style with a more soul-tinged track but keeping the groove and bassline positively roughed up ensuring things stay raw and underground.

FYI Chris - An edit of an edit is tricky, but finding a clip of someone saying "never seen anything like this before" was even harder. This is just a cheeky one for the corsica crew deep down x

​Last year was the year Deetron launched his Character label. His Roots Panorama project with Ripperton set the wheels in motion before he returned to his solo alias for the 'Theory Of Light' EP. 

Fast-forward six months, past the devious Seth Troxler 12" collaboration 'Love Song', and the Swiss DJ and producer's back on the label with 'The Believer', three belting tracks with plenty of vigour.

Freedom

The boys are skating back into action with “Apprentice,” a three tracker featuring staple cuts from their Punch Drunk Love residency at Output’s Panther Room which first appeared on Frank & Tony's much-lauded Resident Advisor podcast. The EP opens with the title track’s propulsive funk bouncing along, building rapidly before setting the stage for a sample-led breakdown sure to foster eyes closed elation. Next, the deep-sea throb of “Lamento” shimmers like beams of moonlight piercing the water’s surface before a hi-hat shuffle stirs it into an after-hours stomper. Bringing things down nicely is the strut of “Modest Season,” it’s hushed drums anchoring the track as rain drop-like keys drift in and out like the calls of sirens at sunrise.

For his latest 'Banana Split' EP on Swiss imprint Hive Audio, Wankelmut has this time teamed up with fellow German Schlepp Geist, and we've got the exclusive on 'Jowi', a synth-laden, rich throb that marks a distinct departure from the hook-happy releases that made a name for him.

Premiere: Wankelmut & Schlepp Geist 'Jowi'
