Labelhead @tilman is back on @pleasant_systems with his Safe Trip EP. Raw and crafty retroesque US Garage styled House with layered synths, crisp percussions and heavy basslines.

PREMIÈRE: Tilman - Lovin' (Demolition Dub)

Scruusb002 EP
Label - Scruniversal
Released - 17th march 2023
BUY FROM - https://www.junodownload.com/products/scruusb002/6002769-02/

Only the second release here from Scruscru sub-label Scruniversal. At the controls is Latvia's Will Sonic, whose work has previously appeared on the likes of Late Night Jackin', Sundries, Gents & Dandy's and Moodyhouse, and who now serves up two more prime slices of deep house goodness for your dancing pleasure. 'Fugazi' is a late-night kinda cut with a pleasing garage-y bump that makes it the pick for this reviewer, but the accompanying 'Right Vibe' is no slouch either, with a hypnotic warping vocal and the kind of delicate keys that mean it wouldn't sound out of place on Madhouse

Patapenka is a new disco-leaning alias from Minsk-based Uladzimir Patapenka, who has previously worked as LIPSKI. With 15 years music making experience under his belt including work as an Ableton Live instructor, he sure does know his way around a tune. He worked on these pieces over several months with vocalists, trumpeters and a cellist and as such they are layered tracks that work both in the club or at home. 'Children' is a warm and sunny one that transports you to a balmy Mediterranean coast line. 'First Dance With You' brings more jazzy vibes with Afro vocals and beautifully lush grooves while Latin feels dominate the slower sounds of 'La Playa'. 'What About This' is a blissed out and stirring instrumental with swooning strings and 'Canvas, Oil' shuts down with Rhodes laced funk. A sublime EP.

Tear - Zambo Merino Dj

Tear (Extended Mix)

The Way charts a sonic course where deep house merges with progressive melancholy and organic nuances, unfolding at a deliberately measured pace. Each track invites the listener to move slowly, to let the groove caress rather than push, building spaces of introspection that also know how to channel energy.

The album works with subtle layers—enveloping melodies, warm textures, warm basslines—to produce an experience that demands presence, not speed. The result is a coherent musical journey, powerful in its slowness, where the listener has all the time in the world to discover what most ignore: that the right path isn't always marked by acceleration, but by depth and a controlled pulse.

Embodying what they coin as Manchester's disobedient nature, Ad Hoc Records are championing the sound of their local producers. Transcending labels and genres, their aim is to showcase the best the city has to offer through the international and borderless language of music. Although the imprint has only two releases to their name so far, a various artist package and a solo EP from Taurtollo, they've already shown that they're sticking true to their ethos as both records explore territories ranging from downtempo, jazzy flavours to percussion filled house grooves. Their third release is up next and it is once again highlighting the diversity of the city's producers with a second various artists package. Welcoming new members Sid Quirk, Two Tail, and RareBIT to their roster, Ad Hoc are also bringing back Yadava from their successful first release.

Yadava is the c0-founder of successful Mancunian party night So Flute which showcases forward thinking talent from across the globe and he also has a residency on NTS Radio. Likely drawing on influences from the wide variety of guests booked at their parties over the past 6 years, Yadava's sound is one that's hard to pin down. Quality over quantity is a popular saying and it holds true here, as what little we have heard from the producer has been quite ear-catching thus far and that definitely includes today's premiere of his track Heart Strings. A variety of natural sounding percussion and a funky muted bass help enforce the groove but the real beauty of this tune lies within the melodic elements. Despite being a very familiar sample, the strings in the aptly titled track can still be re-imagined if used in proper, creative ways and that is the case here. With support from a lovely bent guitar and delicate keys around the strings that oh so pull at our heart, the result as a whole is a spectacular medley of sounds even Pepe Bradock would be proud of.

Yadava is certainly one to watch and it seems so is the rest of Manchester as Ad Hoc continue to dig up talent in the northwestern English city. Keep a lookout for this release and more over at the label's Bandcamp page.

PREMIERE : Yadava - Heart Strings

Hot news: There’s significant evidence that the material for Schnitzel Cuts 5 has been created on steroids and therefor unfit for serving to the general public. Those seekers of pan fried & breaded perfection should be cautious. Both sides have been seen to cause serious energy boosts on the dance floor. The heavy low end and suspense of the “Strategy" and the all out string and horn extravaganza of “Were you ready for that" make this an energy packed dish that’s best served with extreme care.

Summer Time

Get It

Joel Holmes is a phenomenon that fits perfectly into the musical scenario of the next years. 35-year-old American jazz pianist and 4 times Grammy nominated. He was the musical director of Carl Craig’s Synthesizer ensemble as well as the keyboarder in legendary Grammy wining band of Roy Hargrove (the IT jazz artist from the late 1990ies, who later died.) 

Holmes is always hunting for the new, so he moved to Berlin a few years ago. Being interested in what’s happening in that new dance world. Similar to Jazzers from the 1970ies like Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones who turned into disco stars Joel, the jazzer wanted to connect with the new Berlin electronic scene. He succeeded, teamed up with upcoming London house kid Cody Currie and the Toy Tonics crew who is working on new sounds in Berlin that connect the organic and jazz musicians scene with the dance and house world. Developing a new style of Jazz-House… (that has nothing to do with sampled jazzy‘ house! If you know what we mean). 

Joel and Cody Currie released 2 EPs that had a good buzz mainly in the UK and USA. Big support from the Worldwide FM and BBC Radio world as well from tastemaker DJs such as Bradley Zero, Gilles Peterson and Masters at Work.

While working on these EPs Joel created a kind of new jazz-dance universe around him in Berlin. He curates a bi-monthly jam session in an underground location where the crème de la crème of the international ex-pad -musician scene meet up. Joel became THE MAN to hang out when American musicians come to Berlin. Like when Erykah Badu was doing her Berlin gig in Berlin in 2019, after the show all the band moved to Joel's place to have a legendary jam session. Yes, there is a lot of happening in the new Berlin Jazz meets Electronic scene. And Joel Holmes is in the center now.

So it’s time for a Joel Holmes Solo EP. The EP was recorded in a couple of jam sessions. Later reworked and co-produced by Kapote and Sam Ruffillo and mixed by Justin Vanderfolgen from DFA in New York.

It’s a big step for Joel Holmes. He started to sing in a very smooth, deep way. He wanted to make dance tracks that have a song structure and should not be too static, but still be playable in good DJ sets. And that's what you get: A Lot of Soul. Deep House vibes in a New York style and Joel's skills as a keyboarder.

Joel Holmes is a phenomenon, for sure. And this EP could be a manifesto for what he is doing in Berlin now.
