4 No Tears Now (Laurence Guy Remix)

Release Info:
J. Peacock is back for his Summer take over! Good times and Happiness all over this cool funky release with three new jams and an excellent Laurence Guy remix as the cherry on the cake!

The opener “Found Her” is another loopy dance floor burner a la Peacock, a tune ready for the main room. An old northern soul sample, surrounded by some classic house percussion that eventually cuts into a driving jupiter-8 bassline. J. Peacock sees this one as a sequel to his previous release ‘Can’t Find Her’.

Next is the RnB friendly deep house cut “Hold On Till Dawn”, perfect for your sunrise set! The percussion in this tune is heavily inspired by UK garage, blending that sound with house always works so well. Lush and deep emotional pads and keys on an eased out beat foundation, how much more summer can you pack in a tune?

A perfect “b-side” roller that pumps on any sound system is “No Tears Now”. Inspired by the sounds of Daphni, those analogue synth stabs and breaks really balance out this EP. And those disco string samples really carry this one through, that Peacock style again!

To top things off J. Peacock asked his good pal Laurence Guy to grace us with a class remix like only he can. Speeding up the pace and transforming the original into a true gem of a track. A deep rolling groove that works its way towards an irresistible ending, it could go on forever as far as we are concerned! Pretty sure you will hear this one a lot this holiday season together with the dope originals.

All tracks mastered by Salz Mastering in Cologne.

J. Peacock | Hold On Till Dawn | Dirt Crew Recordings

Beamed out on Luke Una’s E Soul Cultura label, Transmission Towers first broadcast, Transmission One, has been causing a stir wherever it has been received. A debut album of music forged in a far-off dimension. Off-kilter, oddball yet deeply emotional machine soul, fused with an Afrofuturist touch courtesy of Mark Kyriacou and Eleanor Mante. Now Crooked Man reaches through the spacetime continuum to produce a set of brand-new, future-facing Transmission One remixes. Moving beyond the realms of your average remixes, Crooked Man sets forth a whole new album of transcendental, tripped-out productions that range from gravity-defying, cosmic meltdowns to brain-busting galactic dance workouts.  

A long-standing figure in the universe of electronic dance music, Sheffield-born Crooked Man aka Richard Barratt released one of bleep techno’s defining records back in ‘89. Landing on Warp, it came under the alias Sweet Exorcist with the late great Richard H. Kirk. Since then, Barratt has put out a slew of exceptional productions under a variety of different monikers from Crooked Man and Parrot to Earth Angel and Athletes of God. He has released on DFA, delivered countless remixes for Róisín Murphy and reimagined the likes of JIM and Joe Goddard. Every inch of that experience and expertise has been deployed on this Transmission Towers remix release.

Who better to rework an already off-kilter tour de force than the Crooked Man himself? Creating a new album's worth of material, he utilises the synthesised yet sentimental world of Transmission Towers yet flips it into ever more escapist dimensions. Take ‘Up’, once an early electro groover now a feverish, mutant dancefloor mind bender, or ‘Mega’, that’s twisted into a vocoder-led, sci-fi trance. Elsewhere, ‘Shadow’ morphs into a swirling breakbeat trip, ‘One’ becomes a marching, late-night, synth-pop foot stomper and ‘Everything’ is contorted from a post-punk guitar trip into a cybertronic, new beat heater. 

The album though is not all on a dancefloor trajectory, with tracks like ‘Roller Skater 23’ turned from an intergalactic cruiser into a dubbed-out dream state and ‘Cosmic Trigger’ leaning into a gravitational pull of space-echoed delays and sonic solar flares.

Every twist, every turn, Crooked Man plots new coordinates, yet the overarching journey is one of seamless synergy. This is music made in an alternate reality, that distorts time, warps minds, hits hard and sinks deep, leaving a lasting impression in an age of fading attention spans and throwaway content.

The 3rd release in our string of "Fantasy 12inch A-Sides" available for Free download on Soundcloud. 

S-DM perfectly uses a great verse from the legend, Gil Scott-Heron’s poem “Where did the night go?” to remind us of that exact feeling we all have after being out allll night, enjoying the journey of music, eventually being met by the morning sun, as the birds start chirping and the city bustle slowly comes back to life. Enjoy a free download of this acid stomper. Don’t forget to drop this one in the club as a reminder, that life moves on and that’s cool.

“Long ago the clock washed midnight away,
Bringing the dawn,
Oh God, I must be dreaming,
Time to get up again,
And time to start up again,
Pulling on my socks now” - Gil Scott-Heron

Our friends at @AxeOnWax-Records are back with yet another slammin’ VA, featuring four cuts that in typical AOW style, explore the rawer edges and deeper crevices of house music. Early support for this one is strong - championed by the likes of Frits Wentink, Baltra, Deejay Astral, Seb Wildblood *Catches breath* we could go on. 
 
Berliner, @MarlonHoffstadt has been experiencing a resurgence of late since 2013’s colossal ‘Shake That’ (christ I’m old) with releases flying out on Midnight Theme’s, his own imprint Retrograde and now Axe on Wax. “Heavily Dancin On The Ones And Twos” opens up the VA, sporting a tapestry of synths, tingling percussion and a haunting lead, making this a pretty spacey listen - and definitely one hot enough to slip on your industrial Doc Martins, mount those Technics 1210’s and heavily dance away, causing an ungodly level of damage in your wake.

THINKERS

Buy on Beatport

Dopamine Machine - Thinkers (Original Mix)

The fourth instalment on DGTL Records is an EP by Satori, who delivers a record with three tracks that all bear his signature sound. This will be the first EP he releases after Maktub, his well-received album on Crosstown Rebels. Compared to the album, the EP is more dance floor orientated and thus right in time for the summer festival season.

Satori has been part of the DGTL family for a few years already and with this release his connection with the family will become even stronger. Satori is inspired to capture electronic world music, where he combines endless blends of seductive trance and mind-altering earthy tones. This resonates through all his music and even more so through this release.

So Good, So Right

A1. By The Light Of The Pyramids
B1. Postcards From Gortupal

In an era of boundless self promotion, anonymity is a rare and precious thing. Listening to Trevor Jackson's NTS show one night we heard a glorious piece of music by something called Elite Beat. A quick search found 10 years worth of recorded material but not a single photo or youtube clip. They had made a record with Niger born guitarist Mdou Moctar but were based in Portland, Oregon. More questions than answers but we knew we had just heard one helluva cosmic link up! 

We still don't know what they look like but we can tell you Elite Beat is a 6 piece ensemble now in their 12th year as a musical collective. Their sound is non prescribed rhythm music with an emphasis on live playing, free form expression and dubbing techniques. Players who have absorbed the plethora of global grooves from dub, Ethiopoques and Tuareg guitar music (probably the odd Dead bootleg too). They aren't retromaniacs or here to revive a genre. Just some cats from Oregon talking that universal language, fueled by laugher and a vision of the eternal.
