BACK TO BASIC (SOUL CLAP GROOVE Remix)

Lovedancing is a hedonistic, unabashed bear hug of sample-leaning, 909-loving house music. 

Ponchartrain, Detroit's fresh-faced editor, delivers three songs for our inaugural outing. 
Each one rallies behind out ethos, the eponymous, Lovedancing.

The Century of non jazz,,,but jazz

It's no coincidence that Reptile Dysfunction's upcoming collection lands right ahead of Miami Music Week. Tinged with disco and soulful sounds, the four-track compilation calls together Doorly, Charlie Rope, Rick Trainor and Noah Schy and finally, Soul Clap. The latter Boston natives bring forward 'Moov To The Beat', a jazzy and irresistible feel-good track that feels right at home on the 'Various Artists Think Sideways' Vol. 1 release, out on March 30.

[FEP003] Impassioned Grooves EP

- Tracklist:

1 - Coconuts
2 - Highlight Groove
3 - Tropical Boogie
4 - Zooming

For our third EP on the Mandrill we welcome back our more consistent artist on the label: C. Da Afro with four outstanding tropical cuts. To introduce the release 'Coconuts' arrives with a fresh marimba, a distinguished strings section and latin piano chords making it a perfect combination to start any type of set. Right next to it comes 'Highlight Groove' an amazing afro-vibe cut with a prominent bassline, a phenomenal saxophone solo and exotic female vocals. On the third position 'Tropical Boogie' brings a chilled vibe to the release with french house touch to it among vocoders, analog synthesizers and digital basslines. For our last but not least 'Zooming' ends this story with a romantic taste with a synthesized bassline, an 80's drum pattern and a nostalgic female vocal unwinding thing up.

The Stopper

For the last 12 years, the way that Detroit-based DJ Pontchartrain has approached music, is centered around two things - learning and sharing. The result has been an interesting change up from the status quo of what comes out of the motor city. Heavily funk-infused and sample-laden original productions, edits and reworks that border on brand new versions of the track, and sets that string together a wide array of sounds that all center around the idea that dancing and feeling music are the main goals.
 
What started off as a project for edits and DJ tools has turned into a rediscovery of the roots of dance music. This shift in the last few years has pushed him into the new opportunities with some of the greatest labels in disco and house realm, and interesting achievements across the globe.
 
Currently he serves as A&R for one of the most prominent edits labels in the world, Whiskey Disco, and for the house subsidiary, Lovedancing. In addition to curating these two outlets and putting out his own records on them as well, in the past few years alone he has released on over a dozen labels, including Kolour LTD, Rocksteady Disco, Delusions of Grandeur, Toy-Tonics, Soul-Clap Records, Masterworks Music and more. Output has been nothing short of consistent, hitting #1 chart positions on sites such as Juno, several times.
 
Wen it comes to performances Pontchartrain believes in the overarching goal of making people dance, and think in equal parts. From the time he brought the Detroit Children’s Choir on stage with him at Movement Festival to sing along, to the bold invocations of poetry and messages of love, the dancefloor is a temple when he’s on deck. A place to worship each other and the feeling of letting loose. Whatever sounds get you there; genre is second to the emotion.
 
Like many of the great Detroit artists he looks up to, there’s a humble blue collar aspect to his background as well. Pontch still works as a social worker directly with drug addicts getting back on their feet right here in the motor city. He volunteers with groups such as Give A Beat, LRNG, Girls Rock Detroit, local public libraries, and is now a volunteer and teacher at Spin Inc music production school. Music is truly a way of life, part of the greater idea of lifting each other up. His actions, sounds, and personality encompass this idea.
