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.

All I Ever Need (Sebb Junior Remix)

Download / Stream

The day was brand new, it were as if the past had been scrubbed and the world had been reset with some sort of miraculous grace and bright delight. There was a shine, a glimmer to it all.

As he wandered through the city streets he wondered and pondered the magic which had allowed for it all to be undone. All the chaos, all the madness, all the pain.

How could it simply shine?

This was how it should be, the sound of a piano danced atop the breeze in the distance.

Milton Jackson and Brian Kage team up with Detroit pioneer Jon Dixon to collaborate on an exquisite deep house cut on Freerange Records. A beautiful, honest track which brings hope and light.

PREMIERE: Milton Jackson and Brian Kage - The Shine ft. Jon Dixon [Freerange]

interloot returns with a stellar compilation, assembling a cadre of versatile heads to deliver a bulletproof warehouse set for your gear bag. kicking off the a-side is »once again« by stuttgart's jakob mäder. known for his eclectic blend of ambient, disco, house and techno, mäder crafts a heavy opener boosted by a propulsive rhythm, seamlessly melding forceful chords with swirling acid echoes. »tick« by bristol-based fella thrilogy screws down the force and untwines the groove with a more mellow, bass-driven foundation and intricate percussive patterns to a subtle yet weighty synth journey through space and time. flipping to the b-side, »back on back« by renowned duo decent rides instantly slaps your face and unfolds its raw energy with a stomping infectious vibe urging forward unchecked. supplemented by delicate vocal rollbacks this guy’s a real peak-time pusher. rounding out the little concrete jungle voyage, »groove got me« by vienna’s moff & tarkin proves the name’s the product. A massive breakbeat blast tenderly detailed and beautifully arranged builds up to a complex raw and punchy climax leaving no one’s body parts unmoved. savour this collection poised to satiate the appetites of discerning nightlife buds and sistas.

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!

quintessentials 68: goshawk - strictly bungalow ep
12"/digital our early/mid november

Time for another new face on Quintessentials: Goshawk! Been around with differnt projects for ages, this East Midlands lad has always been one of the finest exponents of eccentric deep house. Releasing tons of quality music on labels like Hudd Traxx, Boogie Café, DiY Discs or his co-owned Pressed for Time and Atjazz forthcoming, we simply couldn’t resist signing Goshawk. The „stricly bungalow ep“ offers classic house music and 110 slowdown tunes and is full of fun and vibes, rough yet smooth! „Never let me go“ is an uplifting, sexy vocal track, „why I sing“ is one of two slowdown tunes with a nice dosage of funk, „all I have to give“ is a rather dark club banger and „time is just a loop“ is a minimalistic slowish chugger. Yes, strictly bungalow!

quintessentials 68: goshawk - never let me go

quintessentials stands for essential deep and raw house music. quintessentials tracks are raw, but they have soul. it’s what we all loved about those old house records: raw yet soulful music. quintessentials will help to keep underground house music on the map.
