One of Traumer’s most sought after edits is finally getting a release - Limited copies, NO REPRESS !

Leonidas x Traumer - Taff (GEDIT001)

~ Shinichiro Yokota [Japan] ~

Here it comes the cream of the crop of house music: the unsung and unfortunately still underrated Japanese house hero Shinichiro Yokota a.k.a. the sports cars lover. He has been indisputably and symbiotically dominating the Japanese house scene for the past decades along with his long-time partner in crime Soichi Terada. This match made in heaven came true through multiple releases on Soichi's label Far East Recording. Shinichiro's ahead-of-his-time style of house music draws his strengths from light-hearted, soulful and accurate jams as exemplifies by his masterpiece track "Do It Again". In 2015, house staple Hunee reissued 13 open-hearted tracks (from Far East Recording) on famous label Rush Hour, which gave  the two sidekicks the attention they have long deserved. These fresh-sounding melodies perfectly depicts the way they do house in Tokyo: deep, cheerful and unblemished. One year later, he made its mark in Boiler Room history, delivering a noteworthy live appearance. Finally, the release in 2019 of his album "Ultimate Yokota 1991-2019" marked a huge step - his "30 years chronicle" as he calls it - as it includes a careful and timeless selection of early 90s tracks that haven't been released on vinyl ever before.

For this 2-year anniversary mix, he's blessing us with a wall-to-wall hour compilation of classics including his legendary tracks such as Do It Again, Got To Be Real or Night Drive. Trust us, this is a flawless and sophisticated summer trip gathering joy, purity and skillfulness.

Third Attempt has been consistently dropping dancefloor bombs and now presents this collection of nine killer reworks entitled the ‘Quarantine Remixes’ on Beatservice Records. This dynamic producer has wasted no time making his mark on the underground scene. The Oslo artist has put out impeccably produced music on a tight selection of labels, including supreme Norwegian imprint, Beatservice, as well as benchmark UK disco imprint, Paper Recordings. At the tender age of 23 his depth of knowledge and skill are nothing short of staggering. Third Attempt moves across soundscapes that range from house to trip-hop, from acid to techno, from jazzy to ambient, and from deep house to down and dirty dancefloor destroying beats. Diligently studying the masters like LTJ Bukem, Mr Scruff, Floating Points, Aphex Twins, and Four Tet to arrive at his extraordinarily refined and ever evolving sound. This young hopeful is continuing the lineage of the Norwegian luminaries Todd Terje, Lindstrøm, Prins Thomas, Bjørn Torkse, Biosphere.

We’ve been drip feeding this album to you and you have already received Front To The Back (Third Attempt Club Remix), Addicted (Kim Young III & Duv Tales Remix), Rain ( Henrik Villard Remix), Make It Double ( Keecen Remix) and Missing Feeling (Anders Jakobsen Remix). So I won’t go over those again. Fresh cuts are from the young and full of promise Niikas, under his Reidar Bruun alias, who takes ‘Images’ for a bumpy ride into the wild Northern Lights. Driven by sturdy bass and playful machine talk, it’s an endless glide across neon-splattered cascades of synth arpeggios and FX-doused alien signals. Adding his smooth and playful zest to ‘Mirage,’ sound illusionist Ribdish converts to a wonky acid chugger that doesn't quite pick its poison between eastern spaciousness, 303 squelch and ankle-twisting moves straight out the 90s continuum. Uruguay-born, Australia residing Jose revamps ‘Cocoon’ into an ethereal deep-dive, with a mix of jazzy brass, breaks, and waves of bassy dynamism. Oslo based Ivaylo - the man behind Bogota Records, Oslo's Jaeger Club booking head and label manager of Prins Thomas,’ various outlets - punches in with a ‘Dypmiks’ version of ‘Images’ steering you into a swarming and hectic hive. Frantic percussion whips and jacks, as piano stabs carry the melody along, while the squelching acid bass keeps the groove frothing!

I’d just got a new synth and thought I’d test it out by trying to recreate that wonderful baseline. It quickly got out of hand and by the end of the night I’d covered the entire thing.

Amazingly We’ve had the track officially OK’d by the band themselves which is lovely. I hope I did it some justice. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported my music in 2021. Wishing you all love and inner peace X
