quintessentials 66: felipe gordon - sick ass chords ep
12"/digital out late june/early july

Señor Gordon is back on Quintessentials! Colombia’s number 1 when it comes to freaky house music delivers the goods again. Felipe Gordon has this incredible talent to mix so many different sounds and samples to create his unique style. Funky pianos (or should we say sick ass chords!), wobbling basslines, jazzy samples, disco and funk influences all combined together to make the “Felipe Gordon house sound”. Sometimes more punchy like “Sick ass chords” and “The quint garage”, sometimes more relaxed like “Girl, u don’t know…” and “For those who…”, but you just hear it’s FG from B in C!

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.

quintessentials 47: borrowed identity - red light jackers ep
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!

Amelie Lens -  Hypnotized

Distractions out: Music On. Joss Moog shuts out the noise with a killer return to his spiritual stomping ground
Robsoul. He follows up 2018's ‘Tokyo Night’ with a brand selection of five crucial thumpers.
The title track ‘Music On’ leads from the front. Chunkier than a sumo wrestler in a bubble coat and laced with
subtle jazz motifs, it’s the stately, no-messing sound of Joss going back to the foundations he dug with Robsoul
when they introduced him to the world in 2006. It’s back by more sterling pedigree house cuts: the cheeky
sample funk on ‘More Than A Little Bit’, the dusty jazzy introspection on ‘Little Wonder’, booty-shaking electro
boogie on ‘Body Language’ and the piece de resistance ‘Walk On By’ where Joss’s hip-hop roots are just as
tangible as his soul’s connection with house music.
Turn it on, don’t ever turn off; Moog is back on Robsoul and the summer just started to sound 10 times hotter.

Label: Swadance Records 001  

Artist: Assini Rock  

Release: Brand new vibe ep 

Formats: Vinyl, Digital 

Date of release: tba 

Swadance Records is a new Berlin based label for House and Techno. Actually Swadance means South-East-WestAfrican-Dance. The label´s aim is to release festive but futuristic electronic dance music that is deeply rooted in the African continent.   

Assini Rock, founder of the label, joins forces with Ocelleo1 to deliver the first release on Swadance that will be released on June 7th 2019. 
Assini Rock used to act under the moniker "Roch Dadier". He owned the "Portrait Records" label from 2000 to 2004 and released 4 EPs on the same label. His last release under the moniker "Roch Dadier" appeared on the Dutch techno label "Indigo Aera" alongside Makam and Pacou. 

The song "Brand new vibe" is actually a new and more elaborated version of "la pierre polie", released on "Portrait Records" in 2002 by Assini Rock under his moniker "Roch Dadier". Back then the track had seen great support by James Zabiela and Lee Burridge in particular. 

The 2019 revisited version features the Ivorian-German singer "Ocelleo1" on vocals. With her voice she gives the song a fresh and uplifting character. While the "AR´s afromelo club mix" displays more melodies and a song structure grounded in a captivating and electrifying Africa-rooted groove, the "AR´s atypical club mix" celebrates the minimalist and reduced vibe of club music. "Train to altair", the 3rd track of this ep offers the "assini rockish" definition of a strong somehow hypnotic but in the same time eclectic four-to-the-floor techno track for the pleasure of Djs and clubbers.  

Together with maestro Tobi Neumann and DJ Fadi Mohem Assini Rock has mixed the "Brand new vibe ep" at Berlin´s Riverside studios. Carl Craig´s tour manager Chris Chapelle of "Sinetracks mastering" on one hand and Mike Grinser of "Manmade mastering" on the other hand were responsible for the final engineer touch. 

Each of the 3 tracks on the "Brand new vibe ep" is as intoxicating and thrilling as the other and a dancefloor weapon. 

A - Brand new vibe feat. Ocelleo1 - AR´s afromelo club mix 
B1 - Train to altair - AR´s hypnoclectic club mix 
B2 - Brand new vibe feat. Ocelleo1 - AR´s atypical club mix

Brand New Vibe Feat. Ocelleo1 - AR´s Afromelo Club Mix

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!
