James Dexter - Watching [Still Hot]

Order full EP: orcd.co/matrefakt

Liverpool-based duo Matrefakt land on Peggy Gou’s Gudu Records for their first release on the label: a four-track EP of undeniable dance floor weapons.

The last half-decade has seen Matrefakt release a steady stream of high-quality dance records with minimal fuss, and the support speaks for itself: Peggy Gou, Skream, Patrick Topping, Anja Schneider, DJ Boring, Richie Ahmed, Sally C, Sarah Story — the list goes on, and when you listen to their music, their rapid rise comes as no surprise. They’re also regulars at their city’s famed Circus parties, while the last two years have seen them play key sets at Creamfields, Hideout, Watergate and more.

Their first EP for Gudu is the definition of doing a lot with a little: samples are often looped across one or two bars, but Matrefakt know how to use them for maximum effect, building up tension with chopped vocals or looped bubbles and beeps over raw, loose and chunky drum patterns — just how we like it. After Peggy playing multiple Matrefakt tracks in her sets for over a year, they played together for the first time at Creamfields last Summer and an EP naturally developed from there.

With transcendent late night moments at the forefront of their mind, Matrefakt just get how to make dance records work. If you’re new to them, then ‘Dimension’ is as good a calling card as you’re going to get.

Tracklist:
01. Dimension
02. Kubik
03. Charge
04. Nano

One Over joins the label with 2 tracks that have been doing some serious damage on the circuit this year. Gripped by a low speed garage rumble, Choppa Dub and Trigga Hype give an 'all gas, no brakes' attitude to dance music. Those traditional garage hats and snares plucked straight from the turn of the century keep both these tracks moving in a way that's hard to replicate in the current day.

Reel People are back. Back to their roots. Back to the future. Back with a bang. Eagerly awaited new album Retroflection sees the revered collective recreating 12 soul, disco and boogie classics pivotal to their formation nearly 20 years ago and subsequent hugely successful evolution. Band leader Oli Lazarus has gathered a stellar cast of musicians and singers, – the likes of Angie Stone, Mica Paris, Omar, Tony Momrelle, Navasha Daya, Anthony David, LaSharVu and Sharlene Hector breathing fresh and irresistible life into seminal grooves by Maze, Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King and Teena Marie among others.

Mica Paris opens proceedings, her powerful take on Alicia Myers’ gospel-R&B jam I Want To Thank You an impressive herald for what’s to come – authenticity, contemporary edge, rich musicianship, beating soulful heart. Angie Stone provides sass ‘n’ slink over signature low-end synths for a suitably raw re-tooling of Yarbrough & People’s 1980 hit Don’t Stop The Music, whilst the funky strut of Thinking About Your Love (a crisper, more urgent update of Skipworth & Turner) perfectly complements Omar’s expansive, one-in-a-million vocals. Elsewhere, Reel People regular Tony Momrelle revisits Carl Anderson’s mid-Eighties gem Buttercup (penned by Stevie Wonder) with considerable finesse as well as Bill Withers’ seriously underrated collabo with guitarist Jose Feliciano, Can We Pretend.

Basement Jaxx songstress Sharlene Hector uplifts on a sparkling new version of Side Effect’s Always There. Reel People’s sweet summer hook-ups with Baltimore chanteuse Navasha Dava are also present and correct – I’m In Love and Can’t Fake The Feeling pay affectionate tribute to Evelyn ‘Champagne’ King and Geraldine Hunt respectively at the same time as showcasing Daya’s sublime, jazz-flecked delivery. There’s still room for Anthony David’s luscious rendition of deep-soul bomb Keep It Up (originally by Milton Wright) and for LaSharVu – a white-hot amalgam of Hector and fellow female powerhouses Vulu Malinga and LaDonna Harley-Peters – to smartly re-dress Teena Marie joint I Need Your Lovin’. Sleek instrumental twists on Maze’s Twilight and Pleasure’s Joyous complete the incredible line-up.

Reel People’s first full studio album in 10 years (following acclaimed releases Second Guess and Seven Ways To Wonder, as well as compilation work including Golden Lady), Retroflection reflects the highest possible level of passion and polish. Such soulful devotion and craftmanship has ever been a Reel People hallmark. Recorded in London and Atlanta over an intense 12-month period, Retroflection also avoids the formulaic overload of modern beats and basslines that countless others pursue. Here the past is artfully reawakened, Reel People’s talented cast of performers – overseen by experienced studio-hands Lazarus, Mike Patto, Matt Cooper (of Incognito fame) and Toni Economides - re-treading classic riffs with new yet respectful purpose. Their compelling neo-soul blend of now and then should awe diehards and newcomers alike. Retroflection is one hell of a return.

Oh, and before you ask – (it’s the question Lazarus gets the most) – live shows are set to follow. Reel People have recorded Retroflection with an easy translation to ‘the road’ front of funky mind. Looks, then, like we’ll be enjoying this incredible group’s company well into 2019…and beyond. It really is good to have them back.

'Beach House' by The Mekanism premiered by Data Transmission:

https://soundcloud.com/data-transmission/the-mekanism-beach-house-exploited

Exploited boss Shir Khan’s ever-dependable Secret Gold series returns for its eleventh edition, with two very tasty tracks that will appeal to a wide range of discerning diggers.

French genius The Mekanism kicks off with ‘Beach House’, a gentle summer jam that’s a world away from some of his more pumping material. Lilting acoustic guitar licks waft over thumping kicks and snappy percussion before funk-fuelled live bass and salsa-flavoured piano solos descend. The break drafts in touches of Afro-Latin percussion and hazy vocal snippets to complete a delightful soundtrack for a stroll across the sand. Come on in, the water’s lovely!

Bas Roos continues his excellent form for the label with a collaboration alongside Guy Steve. With a similar flavour to ‘Beach House’, their delicious ‘Route 69’ pares disco funk guitars with looping organic bass and jazzy electric piano noodling. Carefully deployed filters break up the rolling groove just when needed. An early evening dancefloor groove with impeccable taste.

Early Feedback:
Osunlade: Nice grooves.
Crazy P: Solid jazzy grooves for floor
Hyenah: Beach o clock!
Tim Green: Love Beach House.
Ardalan: Viper. Love it.
Jonas Rathsman: Summer is here!
Art Of Tones: Great EP. Both tracks are dope.

This is a fresh cocktail for the summer. Sano from Medellín, Colombia (who released on Cómeme and Public Possession) and Toy Tonics head honcho Kapote created these 4 latin percussion tools for balearic DJ sets. 
The guys met in Sevilla where they were booked as DJs and had a good time: Talking about Narco books, puertorican rhythm culture, their salsa heroes and favorite descargas. In fact Kapote has a heavy addiction for latin american music and collects salsa vinyl since a long time.
The vibe was set after a few bocadillos and spanish wines and they planned to do something together. So here you get the result: The music was made half in Kapote’s Berlin studio and half in Sano’s Barcelona home. Rhythm section on Wawanko courtesy of Phran from Venezuela (Sano's studio partner in Barcelona).
Fun fact: Sano made three records on Public Possession. The Munich label made by Marvin & Valentino. Before starting Public Possession Valentino used to work for Gomma/Toy Tonics and he started to dj at the early days Gomma/Toy Tonics partys. The world is small.
