We've finally hit double digits and we couldn't be more excited about who's on tap for this release.

Even though they only have a handfullof releases, Trav & Volta are no slouch in the studio. With the title track "Straight Talking" they were able to catch a fun, bouncey party groove with this one. The bassline just talks and bounces it's way through the track, with a bright synth line that just struts its stuff. And to top it off they have a lovely, soulful diva that just speaks to you and keeps those feet moving. 

On the flip side (can we even say that anymore?) we have the deep and blissed out "Perky Lady".  A deep, smooth bassline is the hallmark of this track and Trav & Voltas drum work is addicting as ever in this one.  The diva is back on this one as well talking about the perky lady that we all have in our lives.

Up first on remix duties is the talented Denis Yashin.  He took a stab at "Straight Talking" and delivered one of the more feel good songs of the season we think. Just a fun, funky bassline that drags a bit and some euphoric but restrained synths that we are sure will be putting a smile on your face. And the cherry on top is his clever and subtle use of the originall acapella to help accentuate the track. 

And to help us finish this release and bring everything to a close is the youn gun Correlate. Young in years he may be, but he definitely has an old soul, and that shows the most in his productions. Reminiscent of all those classic Chicago House records, Correlate channels the Windy City in this remix like few others can.  Fun organ stabs, jazzed out piano keys on top and a bassline that just screams to be danced to. This kid is going to be doing great things in the future, and we couldn't be any more excited to have him on board!

After gaining underground and media critical acclaim alike for his Teggno Records establishment, Lance decided it was time create a new musical outlet. Where as Teggno Records is focused on the more forward thinking and cutting edge end of the techno spectrum, it was time to take a step back, drop the bpms a bit and enjoy the groovier, more subdued end of the dance spectrum.

Enter Plus Plus, Lance's new output for anything deep and dubby. The perfect balance to his already reputable Teggno outlet, Plus Plus is in the process of building a network of like minded individuals and really believes in building a "family first" mentality while helping it's young and raw roster develop and hone their skills.
