Best of best

leaving home ain't easy.

in late july/early august, I pretty much locked myself in the basement of the house in Fenton (aka The Dungeon) and played with records. 2 weeks of this. food was delivered, and so was the smoke. this was 2 be the final statement from a place that I called home 4 the best part of 13 years. a lot of humour was injected in2 this project...but so was a lot of pain. most of the subliminal messages in the mixes were 2 friends (and not-so-friends) in Detroit (my future home), with nods 2 my friends back home in Flint and my children....and my best friend/housemate/sounding board Kevin.....

DJ PSYCHO - Ferric Oxide (Side A)

(continued from SIDE A)

It was originally released on cassette in late August 2013 on Convergent Sound. I don't exactly remember how many were sold, but I don't have a personal one, so that says something, I guess. 

It's almost the 2nd anniversary of this project, and I decided 2 let the allowed number of the ones who really like this project have it. Download, comment, share. 

I'm working on the follow-up as we speak. I don't have a release date - it'll happen when it's ready. Until then, vibe on this....

Thank U.

Lakeshouse first appeared on Paper in 2019, continuing a rich lineage of wonky Norwegian disco. We believed they were worthy successors to carry the torch on from the likes of Todd Terje and Lindstrøm. With Ubegrensa Harmoni, the first single from their forthcoming debut album, they have delivered on that promise. 

The original straddles disco, house and pop for a track that will be equally at home on daytime BBC 6 Music or a packed-to-the-gills festival dance tent. Nagging synth bells, NRG bass, vocoder vocal and an arrangement that works the dynamics mean this is set to become the sound of summer '25. Move over Inspector Norse, there's a new kid in town.

Ben Davis and Tom Lonsborough AKA Flash Atkins and 2 Billion Beats flex their production muscles with two different remixes and sounds. Their disco mix does what it says on the tin; keeping the hooky bells and upping the groove with added lush strings, pads, and a gorgeous, cosmic synth finale.

The stripped-back Flash Beats remix delves in to the other side of club culture. A broken beat, heavy synths, fifth pad, and the ubiquitous bells channel Joy Orbison, Overmono, and UK bass music for a banger that is the sound of now.

Lakehouse - Ubegrensa Harmoni (Original mix)

Rapturous tribal drum mayhem explodes out of the gate while an extended spoken-word vocal sample inciting a discotheque ritual immediately take the dancer to ecstatic, hands-up-in-the-air deliverance. An insidious, narcotic bassline pinched from the original pushes the proceedings along in this sly and energetic Delfonic take on the Tegel Boys’ Fall In Line track. Precise cowbell liturgy, and the gnawing 303-acid propulsion jump in and out as the tension builds. The vocal sample implores you to stay with the sacrament as the sinewy Turkish-psych guitar lines snake into the mix, before the bongo salvation hammers home this peak-time weapon of a remix.

Release Info:

It’s been 6 years now since our last collaboration with Roar Groove and The Revenge in 2019.
So it was about time to unleash some new heavy hitters by this House master. 

With the opener “Twisted Signal” this EP sets the pace and tone to spiraling and pulsating sines, great grooves and hypnotic vocal use. Dark dance floor material at it’s best! Followed by the deep “Spiral Highway” the a-side is one long live jam. 

On the b-side we take back the pace and make it groovy-er with the House cut “Open Your Eyes” in a true classic “Revenge” style. Closing out with the excellent lush journey that is “Your Life”, bringing back again his great vocal sample use and adding deep soulful chord flavors.

Get real Deep with this new 4 tracker by The Revenge! Enjoy!

J. Peacock - I’m Doing Just Fine EP - Dirt Crew Recordings
https://soundcloud.com/jpeacocksound

Track List:
1 I’m Doing Just Fine 
2 Keep Running
3 Can’t Go Nowhere 
4 Hometime

J. Peacock is back for the Dirt Crew Summer take over once more! After his last collab release with Laurence Guy on “Shall Not Fade” in March this year we are delighted to welcome him again with four new deep and funky tunes.

“I’m Doing Just Fine”  is all about the strings. There's a certain feeling in northern soul records – cinematic, bittersweet – and sampling that energy became the starting point for the whole EP. On this track, the vocal hides just behind the strings, giving it a hazy feel. A loopy, dreamlike cut nods to the 2016 lo-fi house era. “Keep Running ” has a swelling, string-led groove built around a hypnotic soul sample. “Deep Burnt” is one of J. Peacock’s all-time favourite tracks and a big influence here. Urgent and euphoric, a driving rhythm with strings to carry the emotional weight.

“Can’t Go Nowhere” is a slower, more restrained moment on the EP. Inspired by the likes of Cottam, Mark E, and Tiger & Woods, this is a chugging, early-hours builder made for warm-up sets and low ceilings. A nod to the art of holding back just enough to keep people moving. “Hometime” brings together two of his favourite things: dusty soul samples and the raw grit of the MS-20. The analogue synth gives the track it’s edge, the bassline is constantly shifting and alive while the smoothness of the sample keeps everything in check.
