quintessentials 65: various artists - marc bianco, effgee, wearing shoes feat. javonntte, roy vision - enjoy your cuppa (vol. 1)
12"/digital out early/mid may.

Quintessentials has a long history in putting out those nice little (or sometimes big…) compilations. It was “deep, raw and real”. Then “thank you freaks”. After that “gentlemen cuts”. Now it’s “enjoy your cuppa”! Vol. 1 starts with 4 new and refreshing faces on Quintessentials. Marc Bianco is for sure no newcomer, as he’s a part of the famous Moonrise Hill Material crew with Folamour and other top french producers. “Wet Scott” is a smooth yet freaky tune with tight beats in a best MB manner. 
For german Effgee, “feels like ding” is his first track ever released. Happy lad! And we’re sure it won’t be the last. Italian air man Wearing Shoes is quite new to the scene, but has a quite impressive list of releases already. For Quintessentials, he teams up with…well yeah, Javonntte (check his two Quintessentials releases, 59 and 61). Proper house music guaranteed! Last but not least, Roy Vision (another french artist who just released on Roots for Bloom) goes deep and dusty, with lovely Rhodes and snares! We hope you enjoy your cuppa!

quintessentials 35: borrowed identity - love for sale

12" coming late september
digital coming mid october

Growing up in the deep south of Germany with multi ethnic friends and big interest in many different music genres of the world, Borrowed Identity built his wide knowledge in music. This variety in his musical taste is also the reason why he is working under different aliases producing a big variety of sound from ambient to house to experimental music and everything inbetween. Borrowed Identity debut EP on Quintessentials is another great example for his multistyle approach to music. You’ll find elements of house, disco, techno, ambient and more – always with an imminent love for music. Borrowed Identity released his first 12” inc. a Mark E remix on Foul&Sunk last year. That was just the start of an impressive career we dare to say. Borrowed Identity is a music freak and works very fast on tracks. Guy Gerber's Supplement Facts, Traveller Records (Finland), the Legendary Sound Research, Stripped & Chewed (Chicago), Catz N Dogz Pets Recordings and soon Mistress all released some splendid Borrowed Identity tunes. And we do the same!

quintessentials 42: james fox & naomi jeremy - living different (incl. borrowed identity remix)
12"/digital out mid january/early february

For their first release of 2015 Quintessentials are proud to present the debut EP from Bristol duo James Fox (Needwant, Futureboogie, Delayed Audio) and Naomi Jeremy (vocalist for fellow Bristolian house duo Outboxx). 

‘Living Different’ blends stripped back drums, warm Rhodes chords and deep analogue bass, with Naomi’s smooth and soulful vocals providing the perfect accompaniment. The first half of the track develops with driven guitar notes and subtle dub horns before a bouncing Juno chord riff comes in after the breakdown to give renewed drive and energy.

Borrowed Identity has had a strong 2014 with a trio of releases for Fina, Home Taping Is Killing Music and of course Quintessentials, as well as featuring on Ryan Elliot’s stunning Panorama Bar 06 mix. His epic remix toughens the drums up and adds a jacking 909 groove, adding extra dancefloor punch
whilst retaining the musicality and vocal of the original.

12"/digital out late february/early march 2016.

Borrowed Identity – the man who makes music non stop – when not travelling the world! 
Borrowed Identity – the man who lives in the geman black forest - maybe that’s why his music sounds so black!
Borrowed Identity – the man who already released two superb EPs on Quintessentials and won’t stop! 
Borrowed Identity – the man who enjoys nature as much as playing techno, house or disco!
Borrowed Identity – the man who we love!

quintessentials 49: 4004 - body night lies
12"/digital out mid august/early september

Yes, here it is, the first full solo EP from our amigo 4004! Together with his mate Sebastien Vorhaus, he is one of Mexico’s top producers and has a quality output on labels like Freerange, Faces, Vicario Music and last but not least Quintessentials. Living in Berlin this summer, 4004 will get lots of inspiration and will have a busy musical journey. And hopefully some sleep! For now, his new “Body Night Lies” is another dope release for your house collection - damn deep and moody!

quintessentials 64: KRL & Janine Small - never leave(Greymatter / Loz Goddard remixes)
12"/digital out late March/early April.

Following on from the positive feedback for KRL’s "Third“ EP (Quintessentials 62), we had to give the standout track "Never Leave“  the remix treatment. "Never Leave“ is a straight up house track with those beats and rhythmic synths, but with the outstanding vocals of Janine Small it makes it a head turner! The A-side remix, courtesy of Greymatter (Wolf Music, Unique Uncut) keeps the overall vibe of the original, but adds more dirt and bass business ready for club action. The B-side remix courtesy of Quintessentials buddy Loz Goddard (Church, Razor-n-Tape) takes a step into deep broken beat territory while keeping the beautiful vocals. We love both remixes, job's done!

Marc Bianco hot off his summer hit 'Solomundo' with Ethyene is up next on the ever revered Quintessentials. Dipping things down a notch this time with the bouncy, subaqueous jam 'Wet Scott'. Brimming with jazzy Rhodes, lazy claps & a heavy Legato bassline. Marc is really maintaining a high level of quality in his productions that fans of this hybrid jazz house scene will very much appreciate. This is perfect sunshine music.

quintessentials 67: greymatter - sans rouge EP
12/digital out late august/early September

The „Sans rouge EP“ is a return to Greymatter’s sampling roots reminiscent of his early works on WOLF Music. A record that sits half way between house and hip hop, in terms of style and tempo. „Sans Rouge“ epitomises that mood: starting out with a hip hop groove that drops into a beat-down house chugger. „Royale“ drops things down to an even slower motion with another tough beat down groove, chopped and driven key samples and a catchy vocal chop. The B-side start with a nice goodie: this is the first time that the full length/12” mix of „Move Slow“ has a proper release (the short version appears on the „7 years who cares?“ 2x7“ on WOLF Music). Greymatter’s most popular track of recent years - more heavy soul chops this time pitched more towards peak time. „Billy O“ finishes things off with a slamming, choppy club jam laiden with strings and vocals. Another mighty fine Quintessentials release that shows all the talent of Greymatter!
