Release Info:
The third release in our special digital summer series is the debut of an exciting artist from The Netherlands. “A Bunch of Guys” is the new alias of Utrecht based dj/producer Rob Scholtens, formerly known from “Pablo Discobar Soundsystem”. After 5 years as one half of the Dutch DJ duo, playing a lot of shows all across NL, he’s now working on his solo career with renewed energy.

The opener “Filthy Rhodes” is a pumping house track that will surely make you move! With it’s old school piano house chords and melody this one is made for pure good times. Followed by “Let the Rhythm Hit’em” where It’s all about, you guessed it, the rhythm. The combination of smooth jazzy drums, piano and the double bass, played live by Rob, will surely move your feet and keep you dancin’. Last of the originals is “Launch VII” a deep journey with Detroit flavors build around a rocket launch sample and gently driving you deeper into electronic atmospheres and towards a funky keys solo.

As the perfect topping to this great well crafted debut EP we asked our good friends and all time fave Dutch producers “Fouk” to produce a big remix of “Let the Rhythm Hit’em”. They boost the original to a raw and rolling Chicago-esque House banger. With their solid and chunky production this one is a big encore to close the EP.

~ Ruff Stuff [Germany] ~

Coming from the South of Italy but now Berlin-based, Gianfranco “Nanni” Barnaba is the genius house mind behind the Ruff Stuff alias since the shared decision to split with his former sidekick François Le Roy. Growing up during the game-changing 90s era, the dance music advent has definitely had a direct impact on his current style. Like all of us, he first went from one dancefloor to another as a clubbing enthusiast before shifting interests to DJing and production. His electronic journey surprisingly first began with IDM and ambient melodies, which is the total opposite of what he has been brilliantly producing over the past decade. His sound epitomises powerful deep house cuts based on rough samples, groovy basslines, and warm pads. Besides unwaveringly dropping stunning releases on well-renowned labels like Madhouse Records, Shall Not Fade or Haŵs, he co-founded his very own one in 2015, logically baptised Ruff Stuff Music LTD. If you travel around Berlin, expect his name to be featured on Watergate, Sisyphos or IPSE line-ups along with the likes of Demuja, Dan Shake or Chaos in the CBD.

The 100% vinyl mix he is serving today sits at the intersection of rawness and delicacy. It is absolutely a treat for the house connoisseurs as he ingeniously brings first-rate jams from Grant Nelson, St. David or 100 Hz. Guys, you are clearly not ready for this.

Ruff Stuff’s latest crush: Olav Basoski

Our team’s recommendations: Faster Buster [Sculptures Records], Who Is [Rough Recordings], Can’t Help Myself [Berlin Bass Collective]

Shall Not Fade’s Season Series imprint hosts Brighton-based DJ and producer Gavinco (Joe Newham) for its first long-play release - Dumont LP; a mellow yet rhythmic collection of jazz house explorations. Gavinco - real name This is his second LP in a year, and blends organic instrumentation with clubby samples. 

Dumont is a polished piece of work, smoothly produced and flowing from song to song imperceptibly like the pianist improvising to entertain punters in an uptown jazz bar. The title track is all swinging, dusty sax scattered with sharp natural keys, although the rough and ready undercurrent suggests something clubbier. It prepares you for the harder ‘Electronic Feeling’ that takes similar jazz stylization but ups the house beat; a bassiness builds into the end of the A-side with ‘Transit’ centring around saxophone loops and elevated percussion that gets hips moving. This is stripped right back for wistful guitar and soulful female vocals in ‘Sweetness’ - ‘Carry On’ acts as a meeting point between this and the danceable rest of the record, summer vibes passing through it as the pulse of house influence builds. Newham plays with Herbie Hancock-style flute trills during ‘Fusion’, vintage funk guitar rising hazily from the rhythm like a mirage. If ‘Fusion’ evokes sun-baked Balearic beaches, ‘Dévouée’ is the gentle tide cooling them, fading chord stabs mirroring placid sax. Digital bonus track ‘Estrella’ carries a layered brass section, building to a euphoric drop - though taking a sound palette from candlelit jazz clubs, this is sunshine music.

Dumont LP drops March 19th via Shall Not Fade.
