Mmmmm...

12.00 Get Real

Oh, what a year Glenn Astro had last year. Appearances on DJ Kicks (Brandt Brauer Frick) and Brownswood, umpteen remixes, and a string of beautifully-crafted EPs perforated 2014. This year is set to eclipse that. Buddying up with Max Graef, his new imprint Money $ex Records took flight in January and sold out pronto. Good luck finding a version on Discogs.  A debut longplayer on Tartelet Records - quickly becoming an office favourite - is on its way this spring too.

In between these comes the Hologram EP, two years after his first release on WotNot. "User’s Guide To" is the ultimate tutorial in dusty house, with rolling layers of percussion over smooth synth chords. All-in-all a great record to kick off a year that will see new records from K15, Kab Driver, Alphabets Heaven, and some new faces on WotNot.

Glenn Astro "User's Guide To" - Boiler Room Debuts

The latest release on Money $ex Records continues to proliferate the label’s holy trinity of jazz, hip-hop and house, this time hosted by Cologne’s Hodini - along with the usual suspects (Max Graef, Glenn Astro, Damiano von Erckert).

Today we premiere 'Pepatzenimfernbus', with warm keys and sloppy Graef-struck hi-hats coming together in a jazz funk inflected house cut.

Hodini x Max Graef x Damiano von Erckert - Pepatzenimfernbus (STW Premiere)

Blip Discs' very own O'Flynn first dropped onto our radar with last year's Tyrion / Desmond's Empire, which received numerous accolades from many electronic music pros. James Blake and Pearson Sound are included, and Four Tet is quoted to have even said that he "literally could not put that record down. It's going off everywhere I play it."

News of O'Flynn's second EP brings an excitement so palpable, we at HQ are jumping at the opportunity to back it. The Oberyn / Spyglass EP embodies that same O'Flynn spirit of laidback dance music we got well acquainted with the first time around. A sound so in vogue, we even dedicated a podcast to it last year. After James Blake dropped the A-side on his BBC Radio One residency, we were keen to get our mitts on the other track. Lo and behold – we present "Spyglass"! An insatiable groove of (surprisingly un-cheesy) sax and purple-tinged synth patterns, mellower in nature when compared to its bouncy exotic "Oberyn" counterpart. Another successful yield from one of dance music's most prosperous newcomers.
Oberyn / Spyglass drops on 18th March (digi + vinyl).

Starting life off as a cassette label in 2012, @UKNOWYMusic has since expanded into the vinyl realm. Based in Munich, Germany, the imprint is also host to beat event nights in its hometown. The premise behind UKNOWY is simple. It's about following a passion. In this case it's a passion for music. Although they try to minimize boundaries concerning genres, they seem to have a penchant for hip hop style beats with a sprinkle of house music on top. Both genres, among others, are represented throughout the label's previous releases of which there are now close to twenty. Currently, they've only had two vinyl releases, both firmly rooted in house. One in 2015 from Peter Clamat and the second in 2016 from Nemoy, with the forthcoming release being their third pressed to wax. If keeping with the current pattern, it may very likely be their only vinyl release of 2017.

"Our Roots" EP is the third aforementioned 12" and it comes from Swiss producer @Delakeyz, who you may know better as his melodic, beat-producing alias @Melodiesinfonie. The three track release comes with two remixes as well. One from Manchester-based Contours and the other from Austrian Moony Me. Our premiere today is the A1 and original mix of the title track 'Our Roots'. Dropping an afro-latin percussion groove over a steady house rhythm, Delakeyz is clearly gunning for the dance floor. Adding moody chords and atmospheric strings, the producer can't stay away from his melodic roots as he keys in squelchy, jazzy sequences over top. The sultry vocals are the cherry on top of a track that has both a solid groove and seductive yet wistful air about it.

Intimate Strangers

Preorder

Track of the Day: Nick Wisdom ft. Reva Devito “Feelin’ Alright”

A swingy 909 house track with 3 movements.  The intro slowly rolls out based around some Rhodes chords and a 101 melody.  The middle builds pads upon more and more melodies.  The final section features the 303 plodding its' way to the end.  Some vocal melodies and spitting OB-8 arpeggios hold everything together.

The dutch label Audio Culture released this as a one-sided, etched 12" vinyl and digital on August 20th, 2012.  You can order the vinyl here or most good record shops...
