Map.Ache - Enola (Salax Peep Show Remix) - Kann Records

The Paper Family has members worldwide, including Mexico City, so we thought we'd ask them to collaborate. They said yes, so the chaps have remixed each other's tracks and the results are as good as you would expect from two veterans of the scene.

First up, La Guardia De La Luz puts his foot four to the floor for a throbbing, trance take on nu-disco, complete with rave chords for the modern age on the amazingly titled 'I First Learned about Shelley's through a Magazine'.

Picotropico's 'Stoke On-Trent is not in Mexico City Remix' doubles down on the best title of the year, stripping the groove back as far as it will go. It slowly builds to a bubbling acid arp and those hands-in-the-air chords. Shelly's comes to Mexico!

Pico's original, Strangers, drops the BPMS for an acid-driven chugger. Hypnotic and deep, it's a wonky slice of psychedelic house that doesn't fit into any category but simultaneously fits into them all.  

The remix tag team continues as La Guardia De la Luz gives things more of a disco swing but keeps it low and slow, funky and freaky.

We love it when a plan comes together.

Gilles Peterson-endorsed Bristolian, Typesun, makes his next chess move following on from a queue of primo productions over the last few years. "The PL", which featured the softly softly croons of an anonymous vocalist, was an undisputed 2013 jewel. "Water Song" was a swaddling pool of Latin loveliness; so good we had to take a dive ourselves. Now he's recruited MOBO-award winning jazz quartet Empirical’s Lewis Wright (vibraphone) and top guitar session player Miles James alongside a group of Bristol’s finest musicians for "Make It Right". Infused with smoke-tinted funk and pinned down by Typesun’s finely-honed production chops, it's the ideal mid-night foot-shifter. 

Ready your shuffle for the February 5 release date via Don't Be Afraid.

Weval - Ways To Go

The beach was a beautiful place of peace and paradise. In the sky above the birds cruised casually on the breeze. They looked down upon those who baked in the light of the sun below. The golden sand flickered in the glow of the warm afternoon and the gentle ripple of water was the only sound to be heard. The island was a paradse, a spectacular place of beauty and mystique. It would become their sanctuary and soon life would begin. 

Our friends at Les Yeux Orange have recently started their own label. Following the success of their first release which came from WAV Fuzz they have now announced a new EP from n.stal.

PREMIERE: n.stal - La Plage [Les Yeux Orange]

From the church to the library, it's now time for 'A Sweet Excursion', courtesy of our favourite French funkateers, DJ Soulist & Fulgeance aka Souleance, offering up three tasty edits to feed the dancefloor.

'Fantaisie' opens the set with an idyllically relentless rhodes-riff riding a slice of sugary boogie, with a super squelchy bassline and a healthy layer of disco percussion spread on top, for those with a sweet tooth.

The righteous horns of 'Lord' blaze into play next accompanied by a 4/4 disco kick, before the sugar rush kicks in and the band let loose an almighty groove. Even a soulful set of angels begin to sing, guaranteeing this one will bring out a lil' bit of that holy ghost within.

We end out with 'Funkin' which does exactly what it says on the tin. A solid five minutes-plus of delectable heads-down funk containing all the right ingredients, and the French duo's own special sauce mixed into the pot for good measure.

With a decades worth of collaboration behind them, and persistent party rocking at festivals and clubs, Souleance continue to create tried & tested moments of sweetness on dancefloors across the globe. This three-tracker is no exception, and makes this another essential one for the record bags.

'A Sweet Excursion' is released on Excursions on Friday 6th July 2018 on limited three-track vinyl 12" only.

About a year and a half ago we had the pleasure of introducing you to Blair French and his fantastic debut on Rocksteady Disco, Standing Still Is An Illusion, by far one of our favourite records of 2017. We also had the pleasure of premiering Public Park from his follow-up record earlier this year. Although an already accomplished producer, Standing Still was the first time Blair produced under this alias and was also the first time he produced a dance record. What a debut.

Fast forwarding to today, Standing Still Is An Illusion has gotten the remix treatment, and let us tell you, it is quite the package. Featuring remixes from both Aroop Roy and Topher Horn, another Rocksteady Disco regular, it already sounds like a hit. But, we've got another first for you. Eli, from a duo you may have heard of called Soul Clap, is also on the bill. His debut release as Bamboozle just so happens to be a remix of Blair's debut. When we first heard the news, we thought that there was no way this recipe could be screwed up and boy were we ever right.
