Arctic Monkeys - Leave Before The Lights Come On

We at pioneering party starters NVWLS are something of a modest bunch - we're often too busy igniting the blogosphere and smashing the dance to celebrate our own humble talents. That being said however, for the long awaited NVWLS/K EP we thought we'd wonk up the formula a little by inviting our own resident producer to pull together some original beats of his own and some of our exceptionally talented friends and family to provide their own classy spin on his offerings.

When he's not trying to steal Charles Barkley's talent or having his head blown off by the Men In Black, NVWLS' own YEPIMNICK happens to be a refreshingly original beatsmith. Having come on leaps and bounds since providing a tune for the very first NVWLS EP way back when, Nick has matured into a musician with a fascinating ear for both loyal hat tips to pioneering sounds, and genuinely exciting new ideas - an ear no better exemplified than by the Save It EP NVWLS are delighted to showcase.

Offering a bold new spin on a vocal made famous by Willie Hutch and infamous by The Chemical Brothers, the title track manages to assemble jungle, breaks, Stussy techno and golden-era house into an unstoppable peak time juggernaut. Designed to twist and turn without veering into gimmicky tool territory, Save It is in its very essence an absolute belter that will slot into any DJ with an eye for adventure's arsenal. 

Remixes come thick and fast, but unlike most repackaged pop singles the talent brought together to re-identify Save It not only possess calibre in abundance but also display the integrity to actually bring some to their takes. Lancs trouble maker and long lost cousin Taneli's "Save It For A Sunday" mix is a gloriously reclined affair that allows the artist's sampling skills to shine, while disco/general diva Holmes Price invigorates a moody original with his own brand of colour and vitality. Rising star Elliot Adamson meanwhile, fresh from achieving DJ support from Breach and Laurent Garnier, throws down a characteristically weighty affair that you can hear all the way from Sunderland.

Rounding off the EP, everyone's favourite Russell Tovey impersonator lays down an altogether more sedate vibe in the form of Stems. Yet again uncovering a wonderful sample almost effortlessly, YEPIMNICK reminds us where we all came from with a playful piano tinged piece perfect for when the sun starts to peek through the windows.

YEPIMNICK -  Stems (Original Mix) (Free Download)

The Stargazer EP is one of the most obscure releases from the  ZR back catalogue. Originally coming out in 1995 it was still disco styled but also influenced by Detroit and UK techno. Derek Jamerson RIP (who released some music on the Underground Resistance subsidory Happy) lived in the UK played some of the keys. SoulFire was maybe the best track and has now been ever so slightly tweaked for this free download. ENJOY

Available now from - http://www.zrecords.ltd.uk/new-releases

The fifth release on ZR back in 1991, "Do What You Feel" was the track that really put Dave Lee on the map. The song was one of the anthems of the era and became a Top 40 pop hit when later signed to Virgin/10. 

Unlike many classic dance tracks its never been remixed but now we are releasing 3 new updates. The JN Revival Mix keeps much of the original music but beefs up the drums and bass to make for super fat sounding update. Supernova take the track to a stripped back techy direction for bigger rooms. Whilst Steve Mill's remix is a touch deeper but retaining the magic of the original.
