SFD013: Dance Spirit - I Got You

Inxec & Julia Govor - Ai Need You (Orginal)

Founding Superfreq member David Scuba brings us the next batch of cutting-edge house and tech from the 13 year old legendary events brand and label. ‘Everything’ offers up a driving groove constructed with impeccable bass swells and highly gated vocals leading into the second track ‘Not Franc’, a darker minimal monster with hauntingly reserved bell like synths and ghostly vocal samples. Pattern Drama and Finley are tapped for remix duty and produce truly unique reinterpretations of the already artfully made dancefloor slayers.

Raised in New York during the ‘90s on a diet of underground house music, David Scuba came into his own as an influential A&R for labels like Timeless Groove and Real Music Deal. Now, his closest ties lie with the legendary Mr.C and their Superfreq label. He’s taken on DJ resident duties at Superfreq’s wildly successful LA parties, for which he’s assumed additional roles as promoter, staffer and location scout, and his seasoned selection skills have carried him worldwide, from Detroit and Bogota to Mexico’s BPM Festival and fabric London. 

Superfreq, the brainchild of Mr. C, is a legendary events company as well as record label that has been bringing cutting-edge music to the masses for the past 13 years. With Mr. C, David Scuba, and Noel Jackson at the helm, Superfreq continues to break barriers and serve up the best there is in the realm of tripped out tech house and acid.

Following on from Mr.C’s Stand Up single & full length Incidents album comes the second single from his album entitled Ripple Effect, which comes with 4 stunning remixes. The single kicks off with Marc Houle’s remix & in typical Marc Houle fashion is a wonderful slice of electronic techno in which a funky bass-line, tight rubber beats & atmospheric effects work around the original 303 acid line. Next Noël Jackson ups the tempo, reworks the bass-line, the pads & effects of the original into a real Detroit workout that’s an immediate dancefloor winner. Next Chloé again uses the original parts to perfect affect to take her mix deeper. The bass-line has the most infectious bounce, which makes this remix perfect for either late night, heads down darkness or peak time action. Lastly Noël Jackson delivers a second remix that seriously drops the tempo yet retains all the sensibilities of the original to create a deep & lush percussive soundscape.

Mr.C - Master of the Universe (Original Mix)

Longtime Superfreq associate David Scuba reunites with LA-based sonic explorers Dance Spirit for the first time since 2013&rsquo;s &ldquo;The Wi_th&rdquo;.

Affectionately known as &ldquo;Uncle Scoobs&rdquo;, David Scuba is co-owner and resident for the Superfreq label and events along with the legend as Mr.C.  A Los Angeleno by way of New York City, David has come into his own as a producer over the past few years with solo tracks, remixes and collaborations for Superfreq as well as Desert Hearts, Veryverywrongindeed, DJ Pierre&rsquo;s AA Trax (now known as Jack Trax), Design Forms and others, all demonstrating that he has become a respected purveyor of darkened club beats that truly stand out in this globally oversaturated market.

The Californian production duo of Christopher Mohn and Reagan Denius have revolutionized themselves into Dance Spirit. Their love of heavy layering and deep rolling low ends deliver an addictive futuristic minimal techno vibe in their productions and live sets.  Over the past few years, the pair have made some serious waves with their productions and remixes for such esteemed and hotly tipped new labels Get Physical, Mobilee, Kindisch, Akbal Music, and Manjumasi in just 2017 alone while their live sets have captured the dancefloor&rsquo;s hearts and minds at events from Black Rock City starlets Desert Hearts, Damian Lazarus&rsquo; epic Get Lost, LA deep house icon Marques Wyatt&rsquo;s DEEP and clubs like Fabric, La Santanera, Do Not Sit On The Furniture and others.

In their return to Superfreq, our tripped-out trio debuts a more developed sound; Dose represents a slight maturation in the sound of this collaboration, growing beyond the bass-heavy tech-house of David and Dance Spirit&rsquo;s bass-heavy tech house of 2016&rsquo;s three-track release for Desert Hearts, &ldquo;Dust&rdquo;. 

Dose opens with a remix by Nitin of Toronto&rsquo;s No.19 Music fame of &ldquo;Prophecy&rdquo;.  Here, Nitin takes the tough techno original into new territory, completely changing the vibe to a slow rolling tech-house groover with its elastic drums, simple skanking bassline and dubbed out vocal and effects, creating a heady dancefloor gem.

Now prepare yourself for the real fun - two all-new original tracks of tough, moody techno and subtle gurgling acid. &ldquo;Apotheosis&rdquo; is a thumping techno tool with driving drums and percussion accentuated by a slowed down, phased out siren, breaking down into tribal drum fills and spacey effects before a big tom roll kicks it all back in to charge towards the end. &ldquo;Prophecy&rdquo; finishes off this new directional statement.  A subtle acid techno driver, this captures the unique sound of Superfreq with its rolling analog bass heavy groove punctuated by a bubbling acid line &ndash; perfect for very late nights, dark rooms, and early mornings.

David Scuba, Dance Spirit - Prophecy (Original Mix)

Superfreq are proud to present the Shape Your Dreams Remixes, the third &amp; final single from Mr.C&rsquo;s Incidents album. 

Kicking it off is the Bushwacka! remix where Matthew takes you on a deep tech house journey. Deep rolling bass on top of minimal tech house beats draw you in nicely for the huge saxophone breakdown. Real proper tech-house sleaze. 

Next is David Scuba&rsquo;s remix. David reinforces his place as an ever-rising star by delivering a dark, haunting interpretation of the original, rife with thick beats &amp; bass and great use of the original pads and vocal snippets.

Returning the favor for a Mr.C remix released earlier this year on his Disco Gecko imprint, UK ethno-electronica explorer Banco De Gaia takes &ldquo;Shape Your Dreams&rdquo; into eclectic breakbeat acid territory. Tight breaks, a dubby bass &amp; a heady, gurgling 303 form the perfect bed for C&rsquo;s insistent vocal to drop on top of. 

Closing out the Incidents campaign, No&euml;l Jackson uses all of the original elements to deliver a slow, deep, syncopated version that harkens back to the era of bonus beat &lsquo;percapella&rsquo; dj tools which has to be heard to be believed.

Mr.C - Shape Your Dreams (Bushwacka Remix)

Superfreq commemorates its founder Mr.C&rsquo;s 30th anniversary as a professional DJ with a compilation entitled 30 Years of Mischief.  This special 20-track anthology collects highlights from Mr.C&rsquo;s discography including 6 tracks never before released digitally from his Superfreq, End Recordings and Plink Plonk catalogs, plus a remastered re-release of &ldquo;Dark Moon&rdquo; originally released on Mathew Jonson&rsquo;s now defunct Wagon Repair imprint.

Mr.C - You're a Freak (2017 Club Mix)

Superfreq label icon Mr. C returns with &ldquo;Show Me&rdquo; his first new music since 2017&rsquo;s Incidents album to commemorate the 16-year-old label and events brand&rsquo;s 50th release.

Ne.Hau - You (Superfreq)

Superfreq boss Mr.C gives us a taste of the Mr.C of old, yet with a firm nod to the future with his next outing Celebration Of Life. Solid beats & a Detroit influenced bass-line are joined by deep acid-lines, trippy melodies & ethereal pads creating this beautiful celestial outing. Mr.C’s “Celebration Of Life” vocal refrain highlights the primary reason Mr.C gives for being a DJ. This is big.

Next up Superfreq partner David Scuba does what he does best, supplying a dark rolling tech groove for the dance floor. Utilising the original acid lines, melodies & pads David makes the track his own with quirky noises, tough beats & an infectious attitude. 

Next up comes Noel Jackson who shifts things up a couple of gears with an acid techno work out. Direct beats, rumbling bass & incessant acid take us on a dark & haunting journey highlighting Noel’s unmistakable twisted sound that satisfies both the dance floor & the darker recesses of the mind.

Jehr – Alebrijes EP – Track Notes

Seattle based Mexican Jehr drops his first ever solo record release off the back of his remix of Jay Tripwire’s DMT Demento, his debut production release & in doing so delivers 3 stunning tracks like a seasoned pro. We at Superfreq are excited to introduce this hot new talent. 

The EP kicks of with Tomorrow, which grips you immediately with it minimal beats & trippy atmospheric synth layers. Effected vocals draw you in before the gnarly bass-line & moody pads embark on this haunting journey into sound. 

Purr embodies the power of the Lion’s dominance of the jungle with this peak time winner. Sticking with dark & haunting vibes the track drives its way into your psyche with solid tribal beats & gripping synths that hold you in tension & trepidation with perfection. 

Last up, rubbery tribal infused drums introduce the howl of the Spirit Animal, which is soon joined by trippy micro noises & the deepest acid line leaving you immediately gripped. The journey then delves deep into your Soul awakening the spirits within. The Alebrijes are truly among us.

Jehr - Purr (Superfreq)

After his excellently received Life Is Good EP & his Super Collider EP with Mr.C as East LA Tek, Noel Jackson is back with another 3 slices of next level Techno with his Grateful EP. 

Grateful kicks off with Reality, a solid piece of Tech, which opens with tough beats, edgy bass & a trippy arpeggio. The 303 acid-line soon kicks in accompanied by otherworldly synths, noises & spaced out pads completing this stunningly deep psychedelic opener. 

Next Noel shifts up to the next gear with Visions, a no nonsense deep acid techno masterpiece. Pounding beats, rumbling bass, an acid line & tripped out soundscapes kick this monster of a track off. Ethereal & spaced out synth pads deepen proceedings in the trippiest way. 

Last up comes Forward. Building from a kick & rumbling bass, it’s soon joined by a melodic bass; synth hits & subtle acid lines gently building until you all of a sudden realize you’re fully in the room. Powerful spaced out pads & melodic tech melodies complete yet another stunning slice of Techno.

Noel Jackson - Visions (Superfreq)

This is something of a bitter sweet release for Superfreq as it is the last single ever to be released by much venerated duo Motorcitysoul aka Matthias Vogt and Christian "C-Rock" Rindermann, who in late 2012 decided to end their mutual work after a decade long partnership.

This single is something special from the vaults, a track that came about because some months ago Texan Brett Johnson visited the German pair and was based in Christian’s studio in Hanau as he played gigs in Frankfurt, Berlin and Mannheim... Unsurprisingly they started to play around with music, Brett built a basic jackin track, Matthias added a little keyboard-chord-magic and finally Christian added FX and a proper mixdown… ‘Ile De Sables’ was born.

The track is a robust bit of machine funk that slowly teases and pleases with its thick, dirty bassline, echoing train track claps and lush, widescreen and oversized chords. It rolls and rolls along growing ever more vibrant and melodically beautiful as it goes.. one for both the heart and the heel, for sure. The track also comes with three handy remixes. The first is from Brett himself and is a slowed down, slow burning gem where the synths get smeared and skewed into even more elastic patterns behind the chugging beats and silvery percussion, whilst the other two remixes come from New York house legend, Satoshi Tomiie.

The first from the SAW RECORDINGS boss is a more spangled version with broody synths 
underpinning a classic house groove that shuffles along on dusty drums. Hi hats grow ever louder in the mix as tumbling drum fills bring plenty of energy to the otherwise finely balanced and knowingly restrained track. Satoshi’s other version, a ‘worn out 707 remix’ is another down low interpretation with rattling chords setting an inviting mood as the crisp percussion and nimble synth work slowly elevates you throughout.

A classic track with three classic remixes makes for another great package from Superfreq.

SFD074 – Nepotek – Optimum EP – Track Notes

Japan based Brit Nepotek of Plus Future Records delivers his first Superfreq release with the slick Optimum EP.

We kick of with Mr.C’s remix of Optimum, which is a no nonsense acid house banger. Kick, bass-line & solid beats carry filtered acid melodies, wonky pads & tripped out stabs making for an infectious peak time monster, which stays true to the original version. 

Next up is the Optimum original, a more foreboding & moody affair. A thick kick, bass pulses & filtered loops set the tone for a late night heads down acid house groove. 

Next comes Locked, which delivers old school Tech House vibes with a modern production sound. Groovy house rhythms, warm tech house stabs & a deep bouncing bass-line are joined by lush pads making this track an absolute winner. 

Last up comes Magnum Acid. The track is immediate as it kicks off with solid beats & a deep acid bass-line. Tribal rhythms build around dubbed-out tape delays & rich warm pads, which are joined by a beautiful acid melodies rounding of this EP in fine style.

SFD075 – East LA Tek – Wormhole EP

Mr.C & Noel Jackson as East LA Tek are back again with yet another 3 slices of next level Techno & Electro for their Wormhole EP. 

We kick off here with Vortex, which is an absolute Techno monster. Tough beats & a rugged bass-line carry tripped out pads, synth twitters, subtle melodic percussion & the sickest acid lines giving us some driving peak time action. 

Next up Semantics takes up where Vortex left off. Tough beats, yet another rugged bass-line & this time tribal percussion create the backbone. Eerie pads swell setting the feeling for the quirky acid to take us away with.

Lastly comes Rubicon, up-tempo electro at it’s finest. Off beats, sub-bass & an acid bass-line set up the warm rich deep pads to carry the trippy acid melodies that will float you away.

Label boss David Scuba & Label manager Lubelski join forces for their first Superfreq release together for the perfect way to kick off our 2021 release schedule.

First up is title track Broke. Solid shuffling beats hold a strong bassline, laser beam synths, electronic percussive noises & vocal samples for this absolute Dance Floor banger.

Horatio then comes in for remix duties taking Broke into a completely different direction. Hypnotic pads, a subtle bass-line, warm chord stabs & liquid percussion set a beautiful deep groove for this trippy rework.

Last up comes Mumbles. A cheeky vocal sits atop a solid funky tech groove, throbbing bass tones & tripped out synths. Once again Superfreq delivers solid dance floor action with this jam.

Artist: Xo Chic
Title: Late
Label: Superfreq
Release: 29th July 2013
Cat No: SFD005
Format: Digital

For its next release, Superfreq turns to one of the key people involved with the brand since its inception 11 years ago, namely Xo Chic aka Mr.C’s wife. Xo Chic is a DJ (and one half of the famous Dollz At Play duo), promoter and conceptual stylist who has always helped to keep the visual identity of Superfreq ahead of the game and now her music (complete with remixes from Alexi Delano, Mr.C and Affie Yusuf) is sure to do the same.

The title is taken from the fact she is always late (very late!) and the words were written by Xo Chic's co- writer Sheldon Salmiery and gives rise to an amusing and entertaining production that is surely the start of big things to come. 

The track itself is a raw slice of drum led machine funk with slithering synths, something of a post punk attitude in the way the lyrics are spat out and in the gauzy deep space textures that make it up. A nimble bassline snakes its way underneath the whole thing as celestial and glassy melodies rain down the face at various intervals. It’s full of attitude and will do untold damage on the right dance floors. 

The first of the remixes comes from Swedish techno pin up Alexi Delano. He strips things back to a pulsing kick drum and slowly rebuilds with smeared synths, industrial tension and a myriad of undecipherable voices, which add yet more unease to the large, warehouse inclined track. 

Mr.C, for his part, transforms it into a weird, freak out piece of electro infused techno with a jackin' bass line, classic cow bell pings, gentle swooshes of white noise and trippy, molten melodies, before house, techno and acid veteran, Laila Music label boss Affie Yusuf provides his own superb reinterpretation. 

Affie’s mix is full of searching laser synths that pan the landscape and show up all manner of weird FX, alien life forms and sci-fi oddities. The claps are sharp and raw and the beats and bass could as well be from the 1980s as they could 2080, such are their timeless futurism. It’s a fine remix to close out another great package from Superfreq, and one that will surely see Xo Chic's profile grow to the next level entirely.

Tracklist:
1. Late
2. Alexi Delano Remix
