Wallace - Willow EP
CWPT007, 03 November 2023

Having initially forecast his production energy into his own Tartan imprint, Wallace’s music quickly developed a cultish following among record collectors and influential DJs including Gilles Peterson, Optimo, Hunee and Ryan Elliott. Another supporter has been CWPT’s founder Palms Trax, who, following releases on Studio Barnhus and Rhythm Section, snatches four highly sought-after tracks for the seventh release on the label, each showcasing Wallace’s inimitable and enviable skills as an engineer and a willingness to stoke the sort of organic euphoria that DJs dream of igniting.

Amongst the curios, rarities and other finds that have peppered Palms Trax’s sets this past summer, it’s title track ‘Willow’ that has levitated entire club and festival dance floors like few others. Escalating from a disco percussion loop, ‘Willow’ soon brings on high-energy melodies and a captivating sense of something more ethereal, seemingly reinvigorating old tricks with exciting new flavours: if you only raise your hands to one climactic snare roll this year, we ask you to make it this one.

This refreshing intersection between flourish and function is felt even more heavily on ‘Breathe’, a contemporary electronic battle weapon whose breaks-and-bassline arrangement fluctuates between weightless wonder and heavy business. Frontloaded with the detail and atmosphere of a vintage Chems or Leftfield cut, 'Breathe' exhales then explodes all the skill and reverie of the most memorable 90s techno.

Wallace appears to dip into the chillout room for the swampy rhythm of ‘Masada’, before proving his slow-motion mettle, a Sergeant Peppering of psychedelia creating true hedonistic density and groove. In conclusion and on the contrary, ‘River Dancers’ maintains subtle hypnosis at a similar pace with much less, employing simple timbres and a stuttering, innocent vocal inflection to conjure wide-eyed whimsy far downstream from the EP’s earlier, maximal wonders.

Tom Trago is returning to his roots with a new series of club-focused EPs full to bursting with tried-and-tested tracks that recall the disco-sampling rush and release of some of his biggest dancefloor hits.

The ‘Pearls for Pleasure’ series sees the Dutch artist dip into his vast archive of previously unreleased “secret weapons” – cuts made at different points over the last decade which have been doing the business in his DJ sets, and more recently those of his closest musical confidantes and collaborators.

The music showcased on the series will feel familiar – despite its’ previously unreleased nature – for those who have followed Trago’s career since he made his debut on Amsterdam institution Rush Hour in 2006. While the Voyage Direct, TT and JNL label founder’s musical output has evolved and expanded considerably since then – taking in multiple albums, countless collaborations and aural explorations that stretch beyond the dancefloor – some of his greatest hits, most notably timeless summer anthem ‘Use Me Again’, blur the boundaries between disco, house, and his love of colourful synths and kaleidoscopic electronics.

‘Pearls for Pleasure Vol. 1’, which will appear on Tom Trago’s own TT imprint, offers a sweet and potent taste of what’s to come across the series. Sparkling and stunningly summery opener ‘Hotballs FM’ sets the tone, with the former Trouw and De School resident wrapping silky disco strings, rubbery bass, starry synths and heady vocal snippets around a hot-stepping, swing-soaked rhythm.

The energy levels lift on ‘All Right’, where Trago expertly works a handful of tight, chopped-up disco loops in classic tease-and-release fashion before he doffs a cap to his love of electrofunk and boogie on the colourful and pulsating ‘Take a Chance’. Another peak-time treat that builds in waves, the track impressively updates a little-known dollar bin gem for 21 st century dancefloors. Like the rest of ‘Pearls for Pleasure Vol. 1’, the track sounds like a summer anthem in the making.

PREMIERE: Tom Trago - Take A Chance

Released in 1989, 'Once Bitten' is the lone single from Kim Yaffa, an LA singer once signed to the Hollywood indie label Macola Record Co. Not long after recording this single, Yaffa shelved her music career and moved on to other aspects of the business, but she has become a cult figure amongst those who knew her work. 'Once Bitten' has only ever been available on 7" before now and is an effortlessly classy pop tune with hints of 80s blue-eyed soul and Sade-inspired sounds that lend it a timeless Balearic feel. Copies of the original 7” have been changing hands for as much as $2,000 online in recent years. Hence, this is a genuine bit of musical treasure. Says Kim about the release, "In the Late 80s Los Angeles had so much going on musically. After singing on a couple of records on Macola Records and backgrounds for other artists, I was searching for my sound, trying to find my footing as a songwriter and performer. I connected with a producer who seemed to get what I was going for and we hired Richard Elliot from Tower of Power at the time for that sexy horn sound, and we recorded Once Bitten and Lights of LA at Larrabee Sound. I think I was really into what Sade and Taylor Dayne were doing at the time, that jazzy vibe! We pressed the songs to a 45 and soon after were kind of forgotten about." Remixer Michael David is a member of the influential Los Angeles-based group Classixx, has released music on Cascine Records and worked with Holy Ghost!, Meyer Hawthorne, and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith. His version adds oodles of echo and reverb, slows things down and makes it a more trippy affair with languid lead guitars that bring a seductive and sleazy feel. London-based production duo and Record Mission label founders Nick the Record and Dan Tyler have vast DJ experience between them. Nick runs the Tangent party with John Gomez, and Dan Tyler is one-half of the legendary Idjut Boys. Their remix is perfectly sunny, primed and ready for open-air dancing with its exquisite flutes. The soulful original vocal is left to roll and will ensure this one becomes a real Balearic anthem. 'Lights of LA' is a second original from Yaffa that oozes low-key 80s charm. It has steamy sax and vocals and lush acoustic guitars, all irresistibly tingling the senses. 

New Islands will focus on the forgotten cross-genre and cross-cultural music of the 80s, 90s, and 00s, connecting them with the future. This first project is a superb one to get it underway.
