Strong Arm Steady & Statik Selektah - Forever, feat. Chace Infinite

Born under the disco punches in the Hollywood Hills, the Secret Society take their inspiration from the parties and afterhours of the LA underground scene…

Influenced as much by modern deep house as the by the styles that gave rise to it, the Secret Society blend rare samples with analogue synths, dusty grooves and ruff beats. Known to spend hours sifting through old records in search of the perfect groove, their sound retains a distinctly nostalgic aesthetic, which is perfectly showcased in their debut EP for 1trax. 

The ‘Our Society’ EP is 3 tracks of disco-tinged deep house built around infectious warm basslines and funk laced guitar fills. Whilst ‘The G’ and ‘WBLS’ explore a slightly more dubbed out tip, while the title track boasts serious dance floor appeal with its tracky approach. 

The Secret Society’s identity will remain anonymous but with their debut release already picking up support from a who’s who of the house music elite, their music most certainly won’t be going unnoticed.  

Secret Society ‘Our Society’ is out late August 2012.  


Secret Society - Our Society (Original Mix)

OUT NOW - http://po.st/WhatIMightDo

With what might turn out to be one of the biggest tracks of the year, the massive 'What I Might Do' by Ben Pearce is here. Solomun, Seth Troxler, Jamie Jones and Pete Tong are all already on board with championing this slick combination of soulful urban vocals and irresistible grooving deep house. It has graced danced floors from Berlin to Ibiza and is quickly developing into a runaway train... We're especially pleased to be exploring new genres with one of the biggest tracks of the year so far.

The Black Opera has never been known to follow rules. When the rules say you have to collab with a lot of rappers, until this point they've chosen not to. When the rules say image is most important, they've pushed their art to the forefront instead. When the rules say you have to explain to everyone what the meaning of each song is, TBO has chosen to leave it up to your interpretation and let the art speak. That has never been more apparent than with their new release "KOON SH!T". You may or may not recognize the backing soundtrack of this song depending on which era you affiliate with, but you'll undoubtedly recognize TBO's fearlessness in efforts to push the art form forward. "KOON SH!T" is the lead song taken from a spur of the moment project called "80zBabiezToDa2Gz". This ExperiMix, as they call it, was recorded at the mysterious TBOHQ in one weekend in May. TBO feels that soon is the time to expose this mix of experiments to the world. So keep your eyes and ears open for "80zBabiezToDa2Gz", until then enjoy this "KOON SH!T".

Raashan Ahmad was on a euro tour some weeks ago and during his stop in Berlin we were talking music over dinner. I told Raashan that we are about to release an album with Ta-ku (which has happened in the meantime, check out the "DOWHATYOULOVE" album) and he asked me whether I knew that he recorded a full album with him some time ago during his last australian tour. No, I didn't know that and getting my hand on the album turned out to be not too easy as it couldn't be located for quite a while. In the end Raashan found it on an old hard drive and I was a fan of the album instantly. It's raw hip hop in the truest sense. None of the songs are longer then 3 minutes, quite some are around the 2 minute mark. Nothing but dope beats and raps with some unreleased Ta-ku instrumentals sprinkled in between. 

In celebration of both artists releases on Jakarta Records this year we figured it would be nice to give it away for free digitally and even better we decided that pressing it on wax would be nice too. Only 250 copies, numbered, no repress, the first 80 copies on clear wax.
