Kings of Tomorrow - I Want You (For Myself) (K.O.T. Ruff Mix)

Master of the West coast mellow vibe, Moulton Music main man Homero Espinosa joins us with a brace of refined and oh so deep soul-jazz joints cooked up with production partner Phaze Dee and spiced by DJ, producer and now vocalist Mikey V.  The tasty trio’s stacked credentials run to releases on King St, Defected, Reel People, Classic, Dirtybird and Cajual so it comes as no surprise to discover a feast of warm, classic keys, understated vocals and all around deepness on Taste Of Your Love (think Larry Heard & Harry Dennis’s The It), while The Way You Dance delivers a more ebullient, pacey groove that brings out Mikey’s inner falsetto.

The mighty PEZNT, aka Blacksoul and Mark de Line created a whirlwind of releases in 2017, lending their love to labels like Glasgow Underground, Defected, Toolroom, Wired, Metropolitan, Great Stuff, Fogbank and, of course, their own Blacksoul Music.  In between this furious studio activity they still found time to spread their sound live at the Exit Festival, GEM fest in Georgia and Strandfieber in Germany as well as Blacksoul’s weekly radio show on Zagreb’s Yammat FM.  Now we welcome the crazy Croatians to Strictly with another double serving of delights:  the jumping Pelin, featuring a bouncing piano bassline and inspirational sermon, and the more tech-driven pure grooves of Kume. 
‘We like to name most of our tracks by local food and drinks names’ explains Blacksoul of the track titles.  ‘Pelin is short for Pelinkovac, a famous herb liquour made since 1871.  Kume means Godfather, but in daily use it’s what you call your best friends around you.  So in a bar, you order your drink by shouting Kume, one Pelin, please!’

Artist: Scan 7 
Title: The Resistance EP
Label: Tresor Records
Cat No: Tresor.255

Tracklisting:

A1. The Resistance
B1. Why Not?
B2. In & Out Of The Groove

Synonymous with Detroit, Techno, and Tresor, Scan 7 have remained protagonists of the Berlin-Detroit axis since it was first forged in the sweaty obsidian of the club’s original Wertheim vault home. Now, over 20 years later, the masked techno collective pay tribute to the triptych’s matted histories on ‘The Resistance EP’.

With identifiable nods to Scan 7’s Underground Resistance affiliations – the label that launched the group, and whose militaristic and political philosophies can be found littered throughout their discography – the EP begins with quintessential Detroit strings and groove before delving into darker techno territory. On the A-side, “The Resistance” offers an uplifting and delightfully nostalgic jaunt through dance music past, using all those favourite and immortal house tropes to deliver instant gratification. Meanwhile, the B-side shows off Scan 7 as masters of warm, yet shadowy techno – plus their trademark drum work – in the hypnotic “Why Not?” and driving, basement-ready “In & Out Of The Groove”. 

Alongside many outings on Tresor’s renowned compilation series, Scan 7 produced two albums for the label – ‘Dark Territory’ in 1996, followed up by ‘Resurfaced’ in 1999 – before leader TrackMasta Lou’s Cratesavers Muzik took over as the group’s primary recording outlet. ‘The Resistance EP’ is a welcomed return to Tresor from one of its stalwart artists, and paves the way for a retrospective compilation on 20 years of Scan 7, due out at the close of the year.

Strictly Rhythm Records is house music.  Since 1989 the legendary New York label not only put out records by almost every name in the game, but it also defined house music throughout the 1990s with Erick Morillo, Todd Terry, Louie Vega, Kenny Dope, Armand Van Helden, DJ Pierre, Roger Sanchez, Josh Wink, Ultra Naté and Barbara Tucker.  As well as keeping the underground stoked with a steady supply of club grooves, the label also delivered a stream of crossover hits with Reel 2 Real’s “I Like To Move It”, Ultra Naté’s “Free”, Wamdue Project’s “King Of My Castle” and Wink’s “Higher State Of Consciousness”.  

Relaunched in 2007 after a five year break following a short-lived venture with Warner Music, Strictly Rhythm did what no dance label had ever done: successfully re-launch itself.  The label made many of its classic releases available on digital download for the first time and signed new productions from the likes of Quentin Harris, Osunlade, Bingo Players Vs Chocolate Puma, Dennis Ferrer, Michel Cleis, Dirty South and Bob Sinclar.  
Always an innovator, the label that invented the 12” white label and put out the first ever commercially released DJ Mix CD in 1993 (The Tony Humphries Strictly Rhythm Mix) is still at the cutting edge, finding and promoting the best in house music.
