The 8th release from Sole Aspect Records is a sonic experience celebrating rich traditions of Chicago, Detroit, and New York. The Customary Finesse EP showcases a thoughtful dialogue between deep house and soulful techno, delivered with analogue warmth and understated elegance. Life Recorder’s “Blues in Flight” opens the A-side with layered synth work, warm pads, and hypnotic percussion—offering a deep, introspective glide for the dancefloor. Laak’s “Apophis” follows with a moodier, late-night pulse, featuring dubby textures and subtle melodic progressions that hint at cosmic tension. On the flip, Laak’s Retroflex Remix of “Blues in Flight” transforms the original into a minimalistic groove, dripping in tape-saturated nostalgia and spacey motifs. Life Recorder returns with the “House 2 Jazz Remix” of “Apophis,” blending swing-infused drum programming with jazzy chord stabs and expressive basslines—perfect for warm-up sets or sunrise moments. Overall, this EP carries a timeless, collector-grade aesthetic that resonates with purveyors of deep, soulful, and carefully crafted vinyl music.

GRAND RISING - DJ NATURE

Since his last mix @qjmpls has been continuing to throw vinyl focused parties in Minneapolis with two crews which he co-runs, hifipopup (co-run with @mikepifer) and wax_appeal (co-run with conor_mcginnis - @spinzone_radio). hifipopup were able to lock-in a monthly residency at motoisake, where they transform Moto-i’s second floor sake speakeasy into an all vinyl HiFi bar with their vintage Klipsch sound system. Wax Appeal are continuing to throw record exchanges in Minneapolis and have also started throwing events in Chicago as Conor has recently moved there.
