RELEASED 3rd Nov 2017

Slovenian Sare Havlicek returns to Nang with the first single of his eagerly awaited fourth album,"Softmachine". EFO or  "Everybody Freak Out" to go by its full title announces Sare's return with a loud disco bang.  Its full on jam packed with funky swing, brash disco swagger and catchy lead lines.
 
Remixes come from artists all over the planet.  First up we are off to Glasgow for a slow-funker groover from The Korvids (one part James Grant from Love and Money and one part Gordy Goudie from Simple Minds and Echo and Bunnymen). James adds layers of a new sly vocal and brings the Scottish funk beats to the fore.
 
Next we take our first trip to Russia with Kim And Buran's Space Disco mix. It's a vocoder, russo-disco epic full of smooth beats and robo vocals. Sare himself is next up with his 12" style Extended remix. Giving us a chance to hear that sweet instrumentation and build up in all its glory. Serbia based Tonbe is next who pairs up with Sare for the 4 to the floor, solid percussive, no-nonsense late club hard disco mix.
 
Taking things down a notch or two Budapest-Moscow alliance Kontinents chip in their squelchy, analog groove heavy rework before Sare goes Dub on us with his down and dirty low end frequency special. Its one more trip to Russia to close out the slow groove and synth wash floating keys of the Kim and Buran Space Café version.

Stay tuned for the upcoming album from Sare Softmachine.

Attempt to make STVC sing with a female voice, although the frozen phrase was spoken by a male. Some jitter applied in the second half, making the voice a bit creaky.

The next foursome on Tilly Jam. Once again, label-honcho Till von Sein is pushing his variously tempered, tenderly to vigorously crafted House-approaches through the sequencer. Resulting in:

“Feva” – the opener. True to its name, this cut is vitalizing Disco-fever within every detail, be it the funked up bass grounding, the pulse quickening percussions, the claps that are up for a good spank or the string glaze that certainly will disinhibit every floor that’s topped by a mirror ball.

Quick vowel switch and there we are, led into deeper realms by A2. “Fave” is built upon a yearningly keyed in piano-miniature, dense shakers, a groove laden bass and a profound string embrace. Elements that seem to aim for one thing in particular: to crank up the floor thermostat a notch or two.

The B-side is heating things up even further with “Chronic” and therefore this EP’s peaktime recommendation. It is carried out by the most evident bounce within this bunch of tunes, energised by lifted and lowered synth-chords, thickened by a highly effective groove that’s calling upon the rather deeply pumping DJ heart.

And after the closing track is through, it should be obvious which side to take in a so called ‘he said – she said’. This very “She Said” is laid out as a Soul emitting, guitar licks indulging, rimshot-pattern decorated jam, that should cover everyone in a warm, loving glow who is not yet jaded into emotional surdity.

Dan Goldman aka JD73 9min30 jam on the upcoming Behringer Neutron with no processing anywhere in the recording chain or mix buss- this is the raw dry sound of the Neutron recorded direct through a Midas VF32 direct into Logic X. The delay effect is from the Neutron itself. NOTE: This synth is an absolute beast!!! Enjoy!

New Behringer Neutron Jam!

All sounds recorded directly from the Prophet X poly synth. No external sequencing. "Duality Theorem" by Peter Dyer,  "Joyrides" by Drew Neumann, and "Ides of PX" by Mark Wilcox are multi-tracked, all other demos recorded in a single pass directly from the Prophet X.

'Better Don't Wait' is the first release on my own new label Wooden Dunes Records, launched in the year of a new cycle. The first release which comes as a free download is (re)discovering slightly more melancholic side of my disco alter ego.
 
Have a nice time listening to ‘Better Don’t Wait’! You are very welcome to leave a feedback and feel free to share the soundcloud download link if you like the track (but please don’t share the file itself)!
