American politics was held hostage in the first week of 2023. Once again the hostage takers were from the extremist right-wing of the already  radical faction called the Republican Party who forced one of their own, Kevin McCarthy to go through 15 ballots before finally being elected Speaker of the House. The hostage takers extracted maximum concessions before giving their votes. In this extended, pull no punches conversation, Norman Ornstein, who has been studying Congress since the 1970s as a fellow at the American Enterprise Institute traces the history of how the party became the threat to American democracy it has become.

PREMIERE: James Harcourt - AEI [ Renaissance Records ]

Artist:  James Harcourt 
Release Title: Knopfleur EP
Title: AEI
Label: Renaissance Records
Catalog: REN24112
Release Date: 21.06.2024

Promotext:
Renaissance welcomes back James Harcourt with the fourth instalment in his journey with the label. Having previously released the 'Quartz' and 'Refraction' EPs, alongside appearing on the Merin VA series and a hat-trick of remixes, he's no stranger indeed. This time he brings his 'Knopfleur EP' to the table, which is arguably his strongest yet.

James has been supported by Tale of Us, Sasha, Adriatique, Marino Canal, John Digweed and Hernán Cattáneo. He has released tracks on Sincopat, Selador and ICONYC. This year he's dropped EPs and singles with the highly respected Siamese and Global Underground; he's arguably one of the most in-demand producers currently at work in the melodic spectrum.

'Knopfleur EP' takes inspiration from a small club in London. The four tracks push the boundaries of MH&T taking it to cool and classy places; it's both modern and experimental - one of the most exciting releases of the year. James Harcourt has dared to defy convention, proving once again why he remains on an ever-increasing ascent to the top of the melodic pyramid.

Imagine you're at a great techno party and have just heard the last track when the DJ switches on the lights and a murmur spreads through the crowd: It's time for the afterhour!

Welcome to a world where the sun is not the enemy, but a silent witness to sleepless nights and unlimited dance floor adventures

The afterhour is more than just an extension of the night - it is a universe of its own full of quirky, heartfelt and often hilarious moments. It is the place where the music lives on, time stands still and the party community forges its strongest bonds - even if it is sometimes only perceived with half an open eye and a wry smile. 

Over 10 years we host our famous podcast series. Which started as an small idea of some Afterhour nerds developed over the years to something special for us ♥️

In the beginning, we focused on finding and supporting (un)known artists through blog posts, reposts and podcast contributions. Gradually, we expanded our sections to include live recordings and premieres. In-house releases and events were not long in coming. 

Join us and dive into the world of Afterhour Sounds. https://t.me/afterhour_sounds  🌈 🎵 🪩
