The legendary Parisian house artist Phil Weeks links up with LA based vocalist Charlie Sputnik for a their debut single on Berlin party starting label Mother Recordings and the results are irresistible.

„Say What You Want“ is a superbly tasteful 6min summer house jam. The chords are silky and late night, and the vocal is soulful and utterly seductive. The whole thing is perfectly arranged to as to never get stuck in a loop, it's always on the move, always growing more and more emotional. 

Once again here Phil Weeks has cooked up an instant classic with Charlie Sputnik. Just pure love for the French West Coast House Connection! <3

Say What You Want (MR130)

Say What You Want

MOTHER130: Phil Weeks, Charlie Sputnik - Say What You Want (Instrumental Mix)

WAYU Records presents the highly anticipated track "Se Llama Cali" from French producer Raw Main.

A song that is known to get dancefloors moving with its deep and groovy percussion, beautifully crafted melodies, and the iconic voice of Colombia's very own Nidia Góngora that pays homage to the beautiful city of Cali, Colombia.

Se Llama Cali is a song that started as an edit after Raw Main was sitting on a terrace with his son, drinking coffee and apple juice on a typical Sunday right before the lockdown from the pandemic. He heard the original song "No Soy Del Valle" coming out of the restaurant's speakers, and it stuck in his head until the next day that he sat at his studio and decided to sample it and the rest is history.

The track features a sample of "No Soy Del Valle (Version)" by Quantic & Nidia Góngora, licensed courtesy of Tru Thoughts Limited.

Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future. We humans have found nifty ways to define and help us understand it. Yet everyone's perception of this strange thing is unique.

Time dissolves into oblivion, if someone pushes "play" on the right track at the right place and time. Well, not too long ago the universe pushed a monumental pause button causing time and with it life on earth to freeze - but: our hearts never did.

We kept them in a safe place. And now a new summer is here, one that invites the dancing feet back to the places we hold so dearly.
"A Mirror For The Sun" is a compilation of pieces, which strive for no less than be the soundtrack that awakens our spirits, now that the big play button has finally been pushed.

The 2nd Volume of ‘A Mirror For the Sun’ is here, compiled by @nikisadeki, featuring 27 artists and 15 songs.

Turn on, tune in and do ‘Whatever You Feel Like’… Hebdonis is back on Robsoul!
Kicking into the first fully lockdown-free year we’ve had since 2019, the message is clear as the Knights Of Frequency bossman lays down four rump shaking grooves that have already been big flavours in the sets of Robsoul’s Phil Weeks. 
Three originals, one revision: Each cut has its own special magic and flavour ranging from the sweet swing and funky touches of the title track to the darker acid house bass elements of ‘It’s A Jazz Thing’ to the funkier nuances of ‘Step Back’. Hold tight for more of those touches as the filtered disco essence is brought right the fore on his Disco Revision, an edit so rooted in its foundation essence you could swear it actually is 1990 all over again. Reload and come again!

Over the last couple of years, we’ve had an amazing number of requests from both established and new up-and-coming producers to remix, redo and re-interpret original Freaks tracks. 

In these moments, I’m always humbled to think that the music we made over the years still inspires the house music scene of today. 

Of course, we also absolutely love people playing around with our music; it consistently produces inspirational and surprising results every time…. 

So, I’m very proud to kick off the 1st in our “Re-Freaked” series, which will see Freaks tracks transformed through various mutations, emotions, circumstances, and situations, then re-visited, re-freaked, and born again by producers we admire today. 

This first release features 2 of my personal favorite Freaks tracks and both include the ever-stunning vocal skills of our beloved fellow Freak, Diz Washington. 

First up is ‘Situations’ taken from the Freaks album, Psych and which features a genius flute performance from the wonderful Antipodean jazz multi-instrumentalist, Nathan Haines. It has also had a brilliant reworking from Dave Aju too. 

Going back further into the vaults, You Ain’t House’ just had to be re-done! Originally released on Wash House, with a Swag (aka Chris Duckenfield & Richard Brown) “We Is House” remix, this still stands the test of time for me.

We find UC Beatz on labels such as Classic Music Company, Razor ‘n Tape and now we’ve his debut on Heist for you. We’re sure people will jump on this record the minute it hits the shelves. UC Beatz delivers a stunning 5 track EP with guest appearances from Marina Trench and Tou r - Maubourg. The EP sees the artist go from euphoric sample house (Orchid’s Wish) to his classic pad - driven sound on tracks like Purple Corner Fig and Blu Thang. The EP would be good without the collabs, but UC Beatz found a perfect match in style with fell ow Heist artist Marina Trench on ‘Make me feel’. His co - production with Tour - Maubourg sees the duo dive deep into a classic Chicago deephouse vibe and deliver the most ethereal track of the EP

Robsoul hits the triple century and marks the occasion with Phil Weeks diving deep into the archives to unearth, dust off and polish up some previously unreleased projects, all sitting pretty alongside a brand new jam from the Robsoul boss.  
A king of the cut up and master of the sample, Weeks has established Robsoul Recordings as a one-stop-shop for House music lovers. Deep jazzy grooves, filtered disco delights or nasty warehouse joints, all dipped in the magical dancefloor dust of Chicago, New York and Paris… The French label has become a treasure trove for the discerning DJ since its launch in 2000. Uncomplicated, supremely effective tools for the dancefloor. 
Release #300 opens with excellent ’Thuggish Ruggish’, the brand new track from Phil. Bumping, filtered and laced with a super smooth vocal sample, this hits with intention. 

Up next a brace of newbies in collaboration with fellow Frenchman and Robsoul regular, Joss Moog. The downy bass and filtered vocal of  2012’s ‘One Step Ahead’ has been tightened and remastered for release, sitting pretty alongside the aptly names ’Sure Shot’, with its spritely Rhodes melody and big bulbous bassline. 
Digging back further still, all the way to 2011, we’re graced with a perfect double from Weeks and one third of Apollonia, Mr Dan Ghenacia. The pair go all in on ’Source Sure’ and ‘Push’. Two tracks that work perfectly in the mix, Source Sure lights the French touch paper whilst Push delivers some 80’s Chicago flavour, topped with an electrifying vocal surprise. 

A fitting selection for a milestone release… Time to get down!

Phil Weeks is a house music purist. Whether DJing or producing, the Parisian with the huge personality delivers raw beats influenced in equal measure by
classic Chicago house and nu‐school French flair, underpinned with a hip‐hop attitude. His long running Robsoul Recordings also defines him as one of the
most skilled label heads in underground house music.
In the studio Phil is dedicated to classic hardware like Akai’s MPC 3000 sampler and Roland’s TR909 drum machine. He has released more than 250 tracks and
remixes since his debut in 2000, working with labels including 2020 Vision, Music For Freaks, Brique Rouge, Detour, Adult Only and his own Robsoul, which
is responsible for the majority of his original output. 

Phil’s work can also be found in the collaborations Fries & Bridges (with Hector Moralez) and PS Project/Bubba Beats & Kid Piston (with DJ Sneak). Production highlights include Phil’s three albums ‘Love Affair’ (2011), ‘Yeah I Like That’ (2003) and ‘Raw Instrumental’ (2012), alongside style‐defining singles ‘Hypnose’, ‘It Put Me Well’ and ‘All Day Every Day’. The music has been
heavily supported by international dance press including achieving accolades such as MixMag’s and De‐Bug’s ‘Album Of The Month’, while DJs ranging from
Danny Howells and Yousef to Mark Farina and DJ Sneak consistently play his tracks. Behind the decks, Phil has racked up enough air miles to take him around the
world several times over, with appearances at the world’s leading house clubs ‐ Queen’s Club, Sankeys, Circus, Ministry of Sound, Back to Basics and Stereo are
all regular haunts, alongside his Paris residency ‘Get Underground’ at the infamous Rex Club.

Phil has also fully embraced the relationship with his fans and house music fans in general – whether through his popular ‘Underground Chronicles’ video diaries
on Youtube or his personal relationships on Facebook.
Despite his success Phil isn’t one to brag. To him it’s all about keeping proper house music alive. Which just goes to prove Phil Weeks is a house music purist.
