Title: Cerberus EP (Incl. Karaba Remix)
Label: Groove to Grave Records
Cat No: GTGR03
Format: 12” Vinyl

Tracklist: 

A1. Hm That Bass
A2. Amor Da Fonseca
B1. Melee
B2.  Melee (Karaba Remix)

Groove To Grave Records is back with a second vinyl release, and for this one they are welcoming the Parisian trio Kitchen Plug.

From ghetto house to break and minimal these 3 silly boys love to produce tracks with nasty bass, metallic acid and raw drums. For their first solo EP on vinyl, they wanted to add a early 2000’ electro vibe to their ghetto style for a brainless result. Get ready for 4 bangers, including a tremendous remix from Karaba.

Our travel start with Hm that bass that tells the delicious story of a young pretty cuistot who discovers the secret for a round and saucy gourmet bassline. Next we have Amor da Franceca who is the class clown of this promo. Ready to throw all hopes of a bright future away only to entertain the class. Despite its quite chill demeanor, Meleee packs a devilish punch and boisterous accents of childhood, lost but not forgotten. And last, Karaba’s remix for melee, emphasises the french cancan aspect of our 3 majorettes. Dark red light, pale skin, round booties, dark blue eyes on a shady scene.

Some summer cuts fade like cheap tan lines - but Emi Ömar doesn’t deal in disposable sunshine. Sitting mid-way through Summer Hits Vol. 1, the Paris-based Groove To Grave crew’s first digital VA, “Beat a Stick” hits that rare sweet spot where sticky funk, house heat, and playful hookiness all lock arms and swagger off together down the beach.

It’s the kind of track that doesn’t need permission to flirt. A bassline that bounces like it knows it’s being watched, drums that strut just enough to keep the floor honest - and then, front and center, those vocals: “Baby I like you a lot, you’re really hot!” Equal parts pickup line, dancefloor dare, and pure grin-wrapped summer mischief.

True to Emi Ömar’s groove-first philosophy, “Beat a Stick” doesn’t over-polish its edges. It stays raw enough to feel alive, tight enough to stay in motion - the kind of low-slung, sun-kissed roller you’ll want looping through poolside speakers long after the last bottle’s empty.

A sly highlight on an eight-track collection that knows exactly where you want to be when the heat peaks: somewhere between the beach, the booth, and the moment that bassline hits just right.
