Better For My Brain (Original Mix)

'Catalan beatsmith Piem is back with more of his explosive sounds in the form of his Temptation single with Mizbee.

Piem was last on this label a year ago when collaborating with Jay De Lys. He remains at the forefront of the underground and is a mainstay on the likes of Relief, Knee Deep in Sound and Crosstown Rebels. Next to his solid productions, he is the Music Curator at the W Hotel in Barcelona. This time out, he links with house vocalist Mizbee who has been supplying superb top lines for a decade.

The magnificent ‘Temptation' starts with a stripped-back, rubbery groove and wonky melodic bassline. It quickly becomes a cheeky and playful track thanks to the seductive female vocal. It's warming steamy, and as the chord stabs and jostling drums build, it's sure to become an anthemic tune that unifies the whole dance floor. This is another dance floor heater from this pair.'

Ben Sterling joins Damian Lazarus’ renowned Crosstown Rebels imprint, partnering with Caitlyn  Scarlett for ‘Don’t Truss’.  

Building on the release of arguably one of the tracks of 2022 with his remix of Tiga’s iconic ‘Mind Dimension 2’, UK  hotshot and Planet X boss Ben Sterling has made 2023 another year of raising the levels, with his debut on  Solomon’s Diynamic becoming an instant summer anthem in the midst of his busiest summer to date. Adding yet  another huge label debut to the mix, he continues to showcase his range across house music as Damian Lazarus  invites him to Crosstown Rebels for the first time, partnering with singer/songwriter Caitlyn Scarlett for ‘Don’t  Truss’ on the revered imprint. 

“I really appreciate the opportunity to work with Caitlyn Scarlett on this one and her letting me use her  vocals. Working with an artist with such a unique voice gives me the style I was looking for to compensate  for this track. I also felt like bringing more of a UK sound to my production, which has made me really  happy with this release.” - Ben Sterling. 

A rolling and crisp production with Scarlett’s alluring and hooky vocals at its core, it’s easy to see why ‘Don’t Truss’  has become a stand-out track from Sterling’s own sets across the globe over the past 12 months. Fusing tightly  programmed percussion, warped murmurs, and a slinking, snaking groove, it’s a track crafted for the dancefloor,  moving crowds unison and leaving a lasting impact. On the flip, ‘Bring Me To The Surface’ is a groove-led and  bubbling cut that keeps the energy levels with skittering drums, acid-dipped basslines, resonant synths and yet  more vibrant vocals.

Moon Harbour mainstays The Deepshakerz hook up with Zimbabwean artist Xander Pratt on thrilling new single. Their innovative 'Hotel East' draws on Afro and tribal house for inspiration. It's an organic, languid groove peppered with hits, toms and shakers that make it hugely authentic from the off.  Pratt's vocal musings infuse it with further charm as the percussion picks up intensity and is sure to sound superb when played loud in the club. As the pressure builds, wonky synths come into to add yet more character to this highly effective sound.

Misfit Music returns after the initial success of their first release from label honcho montel. For the second release, London based Cera Alba delivers 2 heavy weight slices of peak time House music. ‘Apollo’ and ‘Zeus’ are prime examples of how Cera Alba’s sound has developed over the past few years. Stripped back warehouse style House music come Techno. Lead track ‘Apollo’ doesn’t mess about. The infectious groove and seductive vocal sample lure you deeper into the track, til you’re hit with a proper uplifting breakdown. Building and building until you’re dropped heavily back into the groove.
The supporting track ‘Zeus’ is a different beast. Dark & twisted atmospheric synth stabs and pads drive the track into top gear. This one is clearly designed for big dark rooms, with nothing more than a strobe and smoke machine.
Aus Music stalwart, Marquis Hawkes has been drafted in for remix duties. Taking us on 2 completely different journeys. His main remix keeps all the peak time vibes of the original, while featuring his own unique twist. Then his ‘House It Up’ mix sends us straight to Baltimore for an exhilarating organ led slice of old skool Deep House, reminiscent of the early Basement Boys sound.
montel & SB are clearly on a mission with their new Misfit Music label project. Showcasing the finest underground House & Techno sounds with a diverse roster of talent!

Once again, UK duo Prok | Fitch have served up undeniable proof of their mastery of the swinging and mesmerizing sound of tech house on their new release, 'Angie'. Leaning into a rolling wave of sharp high-hats and a warped out synth, 'Angie' is a building tune that bursts with slick, techy energy. Fittingly, the track finds its home on Solardo's Sola imprint. "The Solardo boys had been asking us for a record, so we went back and forth on 'Angie' over the past year, constantly improving the record," the two explained. "We finally nailed it a few weeks ago and tested it at CRSSD Festival in the States and the reaction was huge!"

'Angie' is out on Sola on November 10.

Play It Down brings together many of its veteran artists for the 100th release, which, in the current incarnation of the label, will also be its last.

A word from Jesse Rose:
“It’s been an amazing rollercoaster of a ride with Play It Down and when asked why I would stop releasing in its current incarnation the answer was obvious. I’ve always been very involved in the A&R process of all the releases. I’ve always felt confident to tell an artist if something should be taken out or added because I have spent (near enough) every weekend for the last two decades in a club, listening and playing House music. I would test the demos in my sets and know automatically what felt right and what felt wrong. If I’m not playing in clubs it wouldn’t feel right for me to tell someone who is playing shows every weekend how their record should sound. And ultimately, Play It Down for me has been about finding music I've wanted to play in my sets. So for the minute it’s a massive thank you to all the artists, fellow DJs, supporters, club-goers,
distributors, journalists, radio presenters, interns, promoters, bootleggers, and to Laura (who has worked day-in & day-out overseeing near every part of the label for the past five years) for letting us come up with dreams that all of you have helped make a reality.
This Play It Down 100 compilation album of original tracks brings back all the current roster to collaborate and a few tracks written solo by some of our key artists. It was a very enjoyable process to see what they would all come back with.”
