"Everything started back in early 2014 when I came across the first tracks of Junktion on Outplay", remembers Dairmount with a smile on the face. "I was surprised I never heard of the artist & the label before and as an obsessed discoverer, I had to find out. I quickly got in touch with Hans, Mr Junktion in person and got hooked by the kindness, humility & laid back approach of the man. I found out also that Outplay was their own little labour of love and a few weeks later, their first vinyl release was released. Then came the second strike as I got hooked on the tracks of the mysterious Fouk. Hans quickly confessed that Fouk was the brainchild of his duo with his best friend Daniel Leseman. Not only I became one of their number 1 fans & hammered the tracks in my dj sets & podcasts but i felt I wanted to get to know them in person."

It took till the autumnal Amsterdam vibes of ADE for Phil to meet the boys in person and it didn't take them long to decide to work together. Knowing the high A&R standards of Phil and his appetite for very personal piece of music, it took them them till spring 2015 to submit the first drafts of the Heavy on the Bacon tunes. In the meantime, Fouk were steadily being noticed by other quality imprints such as Local Talk , Fifty Fathoms Deep or Pusic for remixes without forgetting their solo efforts of the highest order as Junktion & Daniel Leseman on Slow Town, Sleazy Beats, Razor'n'Tape or Rose Records. "I remember being happy about the first versions but also having this strong feeling that I could bring them slightly out of their comfort zone. I felt that Heavy On The Bacon could be developed with a stronger live instrumentation feel, reminiscent of a live Disco band, beyond their usual sound signature. Hans & Dan embraced the challenge and we exchanged a lot on mixdown color & arrangement to all be super happy with the final result"
It is no surprise that the track became their first "beyond 6 minutes" track allowing a long and subtle build-up full of catchy verses, chorus, bridges & breaks. A brilliant example of a "live feel" club monster. The second track of the single called Coconuts is a more classic Fouk moment, reminiscent of their recent smash hit Ep Kill Frenzy on Detroit Swindle's Heist with spectacular welcome by critics & listeners alike. Their swing, tasty sampling techniques & love for Jazzy chords are all fuelling the beast and round up another timeless moment on the label.

Fouk / Heavy On The Bacon / Snippets

When it comes to a certain strand of deep house, Tsuba is unstoppable at the moment. The label has just revealed they've secured an EP from the much-loved Galcher Lustwerk, but before that they're debuting Luvless with the Luv Machine EP. Fans of Mic Newman's music on Tsuba will warm to this with tracks like "Down With You Baby" sharing that same laid-back vibe heard in some of the Australian's earlier productions, while its soft vocals are similar to fellow Melbourne producer The Tortoise. "Be Mine" is driven by a strong sustained lead with sprinklings of disco drums and basslines with some classic filtering, while the title-track is a deep, yet light, euphoric house jam.

Just ahead of a landmark 50th EP release, Catz ‘N Dogz’s Pets Recordings turn to Johan Cederberg aka HNNY for a special five track release that very much invites us deep into the off kilter world of the revered Swedish producer. 

Before now HNNY - preferably pronounced “honey” - has won himself many fans with curious and quirky releases on labels including Studio Barnhus, Let’s Play House and Local Talk. Producing house but with a charming sense of melody, a great ear for a sample and an irresistible sense of groove, he is a firm DJ and dancer favourite all across Europe, and for good reason. 

Opening the EP is ‘Happy Happy House House’, a lazy, beachy cut awash with sun-kissed melody and trip hop grooves. Swaying gently to and fro, it’s an immediately soothing track before ‘Brasilian Sound’ is as Latin as you would expect from the title: it's a percussive, summery, atmospheric jaunt though up-tempo and feel-good house that's littered with distant whistles, the sound of kids playing in the park and a variety of loveable instruments. ‘Fresh Laundry’ then drops into a much slower and more purposeful groove - stoned drums and a distant bassline unfold lazily before big wind instruments begin tooting up top. It’s human, imperfect and full of keys that imbue it with the joys of spring.

On the flip, ‘Fruktstund’ is another adult lullaby with colourful, cartoony instrumentals, angular grooves and plenty of organic textures, whilst closer ‘Yogalates’ is much the same with its big xylophones, joyous piano chords, rubbery kicks and generally disarming sense of playfulness. 

Spring is just round the corner but it feels so much closer with these enchanting new cuts from HNNY.

Outplay’s third vinyl release will be from young Mancunian artist Loz Goddard. With releases on Large Music and Editorial he has been making a great impression with his combination of disco and beatdown house. A well balanced blend between samples and synth work makes this a varied EP and a great showcase for Loz’s sound. Outplay’s own Fouk takes care of the remix, turning the lush “It Will Come To Me” into a solid dance floor track with added bass line groove.

Very few new imprints have received such a warm welcome from all sides of the spectrum than Room With A View. Respected dj’s, worldwide music media & retailers have all been deeply impressed by the quality & vision transported by the label founded in spring 2009 by Dairmount & Anja Knupper in Hamburg. The label’s ethic is aiming to get back to timeless “emotional content” club music with a futuristic flair, while breaking the pattern of “functionality” that club music too often slips into these days. Room With A View presents a subtle mixture of House & Techno with a twist of freshness & Detroit influences. 

It is quite a little performance to invite a large range of dj’s to enjoy the same sound these days : Techno mammoths such as Carl Craig, Laurent Garnier, Ritchie Hawtin, Dubfire or Dj Hell, Deep House heavyweights such as Jimpster, Dj Deep, Manuel Tur or Brothers Vibe, Tech House masters such as Steve Bug, MANDY or Joris Voorn, Leftfield wizards such as Lawrence, Peter Kruder, Jazzanova or dj legends such as Danny Krivit or Francois K have all embraced the sound of the label with real enthusiasm…
