B1. About That (6:17)

In love with Jazz and everything it gave birth to, Paul Cut seeks to maintain a long-standing tradition by merging it with House music. Whether by sampling tracks in the studio or playing keyboards on stage, his sole purpose is the Groove.
Paul Cut had his two very first releases on parisian labels : The Joy EP with Ondulé Recordings, held by Joss Moog and Around7, and Serious Intentions EP as keyboardist for the D.ko Records' live band, Secret Value Orchestra.
Popcorn began its vinyl releases four years ago with dj and producer Lowris. New comer at that time, he has since then become famous resident of Concrete Paris Parties and a recognized producer. It is therefore naturally that the 10 th release will be devoted to a newcomer, the young and talented Paul Cut and his Basement Jam EP.


PREMIERE : Paul Cut - About That (Original Mix) [PopCorn Records]

Seven years and five volumes of »Treats« down the line, Retreat flips the script in 2016 and introduces a brand new remix series (cheekily) entitled »Re-Treats«! With Nebraska, Session Victim and Quarion reworking stables from the RTR back catalogue, »Re-Treats Vol.1« is a brilliant showcase of the art of the remix as each artist comes up with a truly personal take on the original material.

RTR18 starts in high fashion with digger extraordinaire Nebraska tackling the label’s most famous track so far, »Good Intentions« from Session Victim. It’s merely impossible to rework a bonafide modern classic but the english producer manages this task with ease and stays close to the original by breaking down the main loop into a one bar groove with super crisp beats. This would already suffice as the core for a powerful track but the real action begins after a short break: Nebraska brings the original four bar loop back at the forefront while adding a wicked samba twist to it! And as the kick comes back in, you can help but dance with your arms in the air and a big smile on your face. The »Soho Samba Mix« is an irresistible tune with that unmistakable »London« flair, not to mention a proper dancefloor anthem in its own right!

Turn the record over for Session Victim’s take on »A & F« from Iron Curtis & Leaves. It will only take a few bars for you to feel that you’re in  for a special ride with the one and only »Two Man House Band« at the commands. Matthias’ and Hauke’s version of »A & F« is much more a cover than a traditional remix as SVM add percussion, layers of juicy synths, loose drum fills and quirky samples over the original chords  and vocals. There are shades of Jazz, Soul, Reggae and even a bit of Pop in the »612 Remix« but the vibe is 100 % Session Victim. The lads  really excel in sun-drenched grooves and this remix is bound to become another staple in their dynamic live set for this summer’s festival season.

If the previous two reworks manage to somewhat stay close to the original material, then Quarion’s version of »Black Cream« takes an alternative route and propels Session Victim’s track into another dimension. Constructed around a tough beat and an hypnotic synth, the  »White Smoke Remix« is thrusted by a powerful bassline and flying hi-hats that evolve in rapid succession. Parts of the original (a vocal  here, a guitar there) are being fragmented to molecular level and clash with each other at light speed, as if Quarion managed to run these elements through the CERN’s Large Hadron Collider. It’s a dense, yet fluid remix and a thrilling conclusion to this first volume of »Re-Treats«.

If Wolf Music's forty sixth record touched on the burgeoning talent of rising Portuguese star Pedro, this 2019 follow-up delves deep into the accomplished head that rests on those youthful shoulders.

We feature, 'Alef' which rolls around with a funked out bass and psychedelic strummings, married with crisp cymbals and polished piano playing. Pedro's dream inducing trip still takes its hold though, with distorted, panning, hallucinogenic vocal cries swelling across the airwaves.

Oakland native producer - E. Live first appeared on the imprints ‘Edition Two’ compilation to get people grooving with his boogie laden tune ‘Got Me Good’. Keeping all that funk but throwing up the BPM in a lo-fi house aesthetic, Finnish producer - Saine transforms it in to a tune ripe and ready for the later DJ sets. 

Out now on Boogie Angst as part of the 'Boogie Beats' EP, featuring @KraakSmaak / @Vhyce / @Titeknots / @Kerceya / @Saine / @ELiveBeats

E. Live - Got Me Good (Saine Remix)

Bike Thieves are back. On last year's celebrated "Laura EP", the Stockholm duo plunged into the sounds of classic garage and deep house. On "Catherina EP", Erik and Daniel move in a slightly different direction. An explosive blend of afro grooves, tribal vocals and deep kicks and basslines, "Catherina EP" lets the rhythmic frenzy of Fela Kuti encounter modern house music. The record also features @Saine, one of Finland’s finest underground producers.

On the title track of "Catherina EP", Bike Thieves offer a mysterious deep house burner which slowly builds up around punchy congas, sweeping pads and female chants. This is the true story of a fearless woman who climbed the mountains of Mali without any safety equipment.

Not a lot is know about the mysterious producer 'Internet Xacker'. What do we know? Originally from Kiev but now living in Berlin. One previous release called 'Therapy for Anxiety' that was a self released vinyl only and just 15 copies produced! We like his style.

One other thing we do know is, that this producer has been heavily influenced by the Nu Northern Disco scene and throughout this EP you'll be reminded of Todd Terje, Lindstrom and Prins Thomas. High praise this may be but the proof is in the listening.

A good buddy of our buddy Cassettes For Kids is Mr James Pepper. They are such good mates that they've got this rather tasty split EP coming up where they each have a track of their own plus they've remixed one another. James's track took our fancy with its pumped up lo-fi 909s, glistening filtered chords, sunny guitar loop and pitched up vocals.

Well the sun is shining this morning here in London and this new track from Poko Poko is pretty much the perfect accompaniment to it. Channeling some vintage Avalanches vibes, with its glistening piano samples twinkling away over live bass guitar and sampled string sections patched cleverly together. This song sure does feel like it's good for your health.

We don't know what's going on this year, but there seems to be an increase in the number of label bosses releasing their first LPs on their record labels. Having covered German producer Kapote's debut on Toy Tonics last week, his fellow countrymen M.ono is now gearing up for his own. For those who do not know, M.ono runs the label Rose Records out of Leipzig alongside his partner Luvless. Having spent the past decade putting out music that has earned the support of big names like Move-D, Moomin, Wolf Music, and DJ Koze, M.ono has decided to put together an anthology if you will - a collection of twelve tunes he's produced since 2008 titled "Spritti Moments."

One of the tunes from the release that we're sharing with you today is called "Bye Bye Butterfly." Fans of M.ono's recent work will be pleasantly surprised by this original since it doesn't necessarily resemble the disco or funk that he's come out with the past few years. Instead, this song is quite somber in mood and features a collection of breakbeats and looped samples that give off more of a future garage vibe than the house music he's generally known for. This variety in sound speaks to the many genres that inspired M.ono in his early musical career, and this LP illustrates that journey step by step. 

If you're interested in following M.ono this trek down memory lane, pre-order your copy of "Spritti Moments." It comes out May 24th.

PREMIERE: M.ono - Bye Bye Butterfly

Hot Russian label Minor Notes is back at it again with another VA release from some of the finest producers in their land. Sunner Soul caught our attention with his track 'Chewing Gum' with Scruscru last year. This time he's flying solo with glorious 'Shadows In The Garden'. After a fairytale introduction to the track is over he lays down a sumptuous groove fit for only the finest discotheque. We particularly like the wobbly synth sequence running over it all. On repeat.
