Disciples - They Don't Know (Alexis Raphael Remix)

Alexis Raphael is set to drop a two-tracker via London’s Lower East this July, entitled ‘Calming The Storm’.
London’s Alexis Raphael has come a long way since his ‘Spaceship’ EP on Jamie Jones and Lee Foss’s Hot Waves imprint in 2011, having since signed releases to Kerri Chandler’s MadTech, Jaymo
& Andy George’s Moda Black and of course Lower East where he returns to here with some fresh material.
Title track ‘Calming The Storm’ opens up the release and sees Raphael display his diversity as an artist with this brooding and murky composition laid out over its near eight minute duration with snaking dubby stab sequences, rumbling sub bass tones, pulsating synth tones and constantly evolving rhythms.
On the flip side we hear Alexis deliver his more emotive style with 80’s tinged synth lines, crunchy drums and a further retro house feel instilled via the tracks smoky vocal lines. Once again Alexis
Raphael delivers striking contemporary material via this release.

Alexis Raphael - The Helter Skelter

Following successful records for Hot Creations and MadTech, Alexis Raphael turns out a 2-tracker for Skream's Of Unsound Mind label.

Pulling no punches, opener 'Wickedness' is a thumping four-to-the-floor dominator. Paying tribute to ye olde rave anthems, the track is loaded with roof-raising stabs and both soulful and tough vocal cuts. It seems there really is no stopping the London producer; this EP has already been tearing up dancefloors since the summer, and we expect it'll continue to do so for quite some time to come.

'Wickedness' is set for release February 26th.

The EP’s title track, ‘Breaking Walls Like 1989’, kicks things off, encompassing a tight Tech House rhythm, a funky bassline, looped-up vocal samples and a tried and tested arrangement.

Next up, the rising Barcelona/Ibiza-based DJ/producer CAAL delivers as tasty re-rub of ‘Loaded Up’, opting to incorporate the original’s acidline and vocal sample over a classic four-to-the-floor House groove with a deep and moody bassline.

‘Nightflight’ follows and concludes the EP in suitable style, serving up a lively Jackin’ House workout, boasting a plethora of old skool vocal snippets and a unique animal-esque sample/noise.

London star Alexis Raphael returns to Hot Creations with the dance floor killer It’s Kinda Jazzy, with fine French exports Dan Ghenacia and Chris Carrier teaming up to deliver the remix with electrifying results.
Title track It’s Kinda Jazzy is an ultimate peak time weapon. Alexis explains how it’s “a real melting pot of different musical influences that have inspired me over the years. There's everything from Hip-Hop to 90's UK House and Garage, Jungle/Drum and Bass, upfront House and Techno and, of course, Jazz.” On the flip Dan Ghenacia and Chris Carrier deliver a solid remix that keeps the pace, changing gear through trippy turns. Last up, second original track Strip Off lays down the swing with sultry vocal slices.

An influential player on the London scene, Alexis Raphael earned his stripes across the pirate radio stations of North and East London during the late 90s and early 00s and went on to hold residencies at legendary London clubs The Cross and Bagley’s. His first release Spaceship was picked up by Hot Creations sub-label Hot Waves in 2011. Since then, he’s had numerous releases and remixes on labels including Jackathon Jams, Of Unsound Mind, Avotre and Get Physical and not forgetting his anthem, I Know.

Dan Ghenacia is the undisputed kingpin of the Paris underground scene, having founded and ran Freak N’Chic for seven years and now one of the three creative minds behind new label and b2b2b DJ outfit Apollonia. Chris Carrier is another heavy-weight from the French underground scene. Together they have delivered some recent killer EP’s on Appolonia, Music For Freaks and Adult Only.

EP Release Date: Dec 17, 2012

Nightlife’s International treasure, Heidi is back with the second release on her label project, this time presenting ‘Jackathon Jams feat. Alexis Raphael & Marc Houle’. With bubbling UK talent, Alexis Raphael at the helm and a remix by Items and Things label boss Marc Houle, this is a nifty little collection of club weapons with that all-important Jackathon swagger.

Heidi started her Jackathon Jams imprint earlier this year, bringing Miss Kittin, Maya Jane Coles and tINI together in one tidy package and is next championing Alexis Raphael, one of London’s favourite DJ/Promoters. With a handful of sensational tracks under his belt (on Hot Creations and Lower East) and running one of London’s most popular club nights Crèche, it’s no wonder Alexis has caught the attention of Heidi.

Delivering two special productions for the imprint’s sophomore release, both tracks carry a nod to retro house with some offbeat modern flavour. A-side ‘Brickwall’ kicks off with sauntering percussion and a rubbery bassline soon to be invaded by wonky synths and FX along with a central vocal line. Second original ‘You Can Do It’ follows in a similar vein with another distinctive spoken male vocal entering the pulse of the rough-edged, jacking groove.

A superb Marc Houle remix rounds off the package as the Berlin pioneer takes ‘Brickwall’ and bestows his own stripped back and expansive approach, warping the vocal to form a barely recognisable framework then unleashing darkly seductive chimes, building the drama with big beats and abstract melodies.
