LSM Advent Calendar - The Full Works

Untitled Playlist

Drop Out Orchestra has been one of the key acts in the Nu Disco scene over the last decade plus. They've collaborated with other pillars in modern electronic disco/funk music, such as Jkriv & Opolopo, and return now with two more strong entries for the dance floor, "Skate" & "Good Fun," both in collaboration with vocalist Mishell Ivon, who is quickly becoming a mainstay for the Sleepers label.

The vibe here definitely takes some cues from the sophisticated disco funk of seminal groups like Chic, only the sound has been transformed and streamlined into something that's ready for the dance floors of 2023. Mishell Ivon's commanding vocal presence leaves you with little choice but to enjoy yourself, whether at the club or the roller rink.

As always, Sleepers brings these two tracks to you in physical form, via color vinyl 7", limited to only 150 copies!

Skate:

Mishell Ivon & Drop Out Orchestra bring you "Skate," an uptempo dance floor filler that may remind you of the sophisticated disco funk of seminal groups like Chic, only the sound has been transformed and streamlined into something that's ready for the dance floors of 2023. Mishell Ivon's commanding vocal presence leaves you with little choice but to enjoy yourself, and to find the location of the nearest roller rink.

Good Fun:

Mishell Ivon & Drop Out Orchestra bring you "Good Fun," a dance floor-ready Nu Disco anthem that may remind you of the sophisticated disco funk of seminal groups like Chic, only transformed and streamlined into the sound of the modern day. Mishell Ivon's commanding vocal presence leaves you with little choice but to make your way to the nearest dance floor!

Welcome one and all to advent 2023! Yes it’s that time of year again where LSM main man Sid and resident artist Fifties put their heads together and bring you a free track or dj mix everyday in the run up to Christmas. Expect funk, breaks, techno, bass and everything in-between. Some artists you will definitely know … others you may not but that’s what the blog is all about right?

Kicking things off, this chap needs no introduction. Yes, its our friend Lebrosk. Having hosted his podcast for over a year now, he is defiantly part of the furniture here at LSM Towers. Bringing the funk on his cheeky bootleg of DJ Spun Vs GF&TF5’s Superappin’. … what a way to kick off our musical calendar!

Crash Party: https://soundcloud.com/crashparty

Advent Day 2, and what a treat we have for you! Tank Your Head is the brand-new double bass-driven and horn-heavy Big Beat mashup from Dave Bushnell, aka Crash Party. Fattening up the theme tune to the cult Anime series Cowboy Bebop with frantic and high-energy drums, Dave drops in a bit of Basement Jaxx to leave you wondering where your head's at! Just like all of his mashups, this one has been created for the party, so grab your copy free from the player above and be sure to play it there.

Day 3 sees Holocene take to the stage! You may also know this talented chap from Cornwall as Cakeboy AKA Paul Croley. Collaborating on tracks with with Memphis based vocalist Annie Freres, this latest venture takes things away from the dancefloor and more towards a melodic and emotive sound. 

Weightless is a beautiful piece of d&b ambience to warm your cockles on these Autumnal evenings. If you like what you hear (and we hope you do) check out his latest album on Bandcamp (link below)

Advent Day 4: Maze Soundz - Future Waves

Advent Day 4: Maze Soundz - Phantom Beats

John Graham, (a.k.a. Quivver) arrives on Distinctive Records for a jaw dropping beast of a single titled 'Roll The Dice'. It is brand new Rock / Electronic hybrid sound for John.  The single also features remixes from the likes of The Time & Space Machine (Richard Norris) and Hat (a duo made up of techno producer Chris Carter and Paul Crossman from Distinctives own General Midi).
 
John Graham began music production in the early 1990s. Originally, he produced and released several darkside jungle singles under the name Skanna. He then established his Quivver project before joining Parks & Wilson to form Tilt.  After several singles and a collaboration with Paul Van Dyk Tilt produced the top UK 20 hit "Invisible".  In 2006, Graham appeared on progressive house/breaks act Hybrid third LP, I Choose Noise as a vocalist and subsequently went on tour with the group. The song “Choke” was dark and moody and was used extensively in Hollywood movie trailers
 
Roll The Dice is a huge Rock / Dance hybrid. It's brazen and assured, with pounding beats and an elevated vocal from the man himself that give the track an understated swagger and real bite. It's already featured Hollywood side.
 
Hat kicks of the remixes with his heavy, motorik Electro rendition, morphing the vocal into a twisted alter-ego and pushing the electronics strong and hard. Richard Norris aka Time & Space Machine is up next, taking the Cosmic route. The breaks still bang, but there's plenty of the T&SM magic floating through.
 
Stay tuned for the upcoming John Graham album “Cold Sun”.  Due on Distinctive soon.
