Since 2014, Brighter Days has been a part of the rich tapestry of Amsterdam nightlife – a semi-regular party promoting positivity and inclusiveness run by resident DJs Kamma and Masalo. On the back of the platform provided by the party, the duo has notched up a string of memorable club and festival appearances, a regular Brighter Days show on Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide FM, and a memorable Boiler Room set streamed live from Dekmantel Festival.

Now Kamma and Masalo have taken the next step and curated a Brighter Days compilation for Rush Hour, a collection that does a terrific job in offering up slept-on and unreleased gems – including a clutch of their own tried-and-tested re-edits – while also accurately representing the sound, style and ethos of the event that inspired it.

Like Kamma and Masalo’s event, which invariably takes place in intimate dancing spaces in Amsterdam, the Brighter Days compilation offers up an open-minded, club-friendly soundtrack that joins the dots between crate-digging obscurities from the recent and distant past, fresh cuts, ‘secret weapons’ and previously unreleased music from young, local producers who have become regular faces on Brighter Days dancefloors.

Across nine tracks, Kamma and Masalo deliver an enticing blend of tactile and colourful house, disco, basement-ready throb-jobs, inspired dancefloor dubs and righteous boogie jams, some of which are appearing on vinyl for the very first time (see Haroumi Hosono and Yasuhiko’s ‘Turquois’, an exceedingly rare, CD-only chunk of deep, throbbing tribal house intoxication).

There are highlights everywhere you look, from the piano-house rush of the ‘Subterranean Mix Edit’ of S’Xpress’s overlooked 1990 single ‘Nothing To Lose’ and the South African Kwaito-boogie brilliance of Cisco The Champ’s ‘Move On’, to the Italo-disco excellence of Hugh Bullen’s ‘Alisand’, and Mr Fingers’ jacking 1988 remix of ‘We’re Gonna Work It Out’ by fellow Chicagoan house producers North/Clybourn.

Kamma and Masalo’s remixing and re-editing skills are put in the spotlight, too. There’s the edit of Discotheque’s 1982 Dutch-Belgian disco classic ‘For Your Love’ and a previously unreleased ‘dub’ edit of French-Cameroonian artist Anyzette’s 1984 gem ‘Baladoun’, a low-slung slice of drum machine-rich body music that blurs the boundaries between Italo-disco, Afro-boogie and proto-techno.

Completing the package are two cuts that demonstrate the duo’s love of showcasing tracks by young and little-known Dutch producers. Peffa’s ‘Routine’, an immersive and emotive treat that blends elements of deep house and Detroit techno, is just one of numerous unreleased tracks by the producer that Kamma and Masalo has been showcasing in their sets in recent years, while Desmon – whose ‘Submerge’ is a woozy, off-beat deep house treat – has been a regular on Brighter Days dancefloors since the start. It’s a fitting nod to what makes Brighter days special: a close-knit community of dancers and inspired, lesser-known music old and new.

Desmon - Submerge

In the lead up to his debut solo album the Ten Thousand Yen label boss returns home with four essential cuts, with two vocal features from LA's Seven Davis Jr. 

The EP is led by 'What's It Gonna Be' which has been picking up love in the clubs and on radio by the likes of Annie Mac, Zane Lowe, Skream, B Traits, Ame & Dixon and more.

From the disco-charged drive of 'Together' to house/acid/techno morph 'Ghost Text' to the R&B lean of 'I Promise', the From Mine To Mistress EP is a diverse collection of tunes that really show off Daneeka's varied production style.

DJ Cat comes through on Scruniversal here as the young label continues to go from strength to strength early in its existence. This time he serves up some re-edits and reworks of old and rare records from Scru's friends' collections. Up first is 'Roots & Culture' which is a languid funk workout with Prince style vocals bring some libidinous vibes up top while sci-fi synths and raw claps and perc all flesh out the groove. 'Possibelle' then cuts loose on a much more laid back and steamy summer vibe with the sort of chords that have you laying back in the park and staring up at a cloudless sky.

PREMIERE: DJ Cat - Possibelle [Scruniversal]

After the success of the album Soul Of Winds by Omary, several remixes of several songs were made by several national and international producers, we start with the first remix of the song Kolowa by Omary Feat. Idd Aziz remixed by DJ Producer Dr Feel who is originally Zimbabwean and currently based in South Africa.

For reminder, Kolowa it's solar eclipse in the Rabai's language, which It's a part of the nine's coastal tribes of Mijikenda. And the story behind this collaboration between Omary & Idd Aziz is a song of the moon asking the spirit of the sun to light up more and give more lights in this darkness days. This a mixture between African rhythms, ethnic winds instruments and amazing vocal singing by Idd Aziz

Route 8 - Floating Dub / Dance With U (TIOT-000)

Sorrow’s only silver lining is the selflessness it inspires in others. The nightmare of last year’s fire in Oakland left so many of us shredded, shattered, and speechless. But a communal compassion surged up in response, with artists, allies, and acquaintances from all over the globe re-connecting and re-committing to the power and potential of independent music as a healing, unifying force. So many SILK friends and family reached out expressing the desire to contribute creatively to a relief effort it was clear the emotion deserved an outlet. Silk To Dry The Tears collects 31 such songs from a spectrum of 100% Silk alumni and affiliates, threaded across four sides of fogged house, fantasy acid, nocturnal electronics, sleepwalker pop, and rhythmic reveries of varied internal states. Totaling nearly 170 minutes, it’s a sprawl and a statement, shared in the spirit of inclusion, endurance, and empathy. Music brought us together; music will keep us together.
 
50% the profits will be donated to Safer DIY Spaces, an Oakland-based coalition offering guidance, financial assistance, and labor to non-traditional creative community spaces : diysafetygroup.org

Today’s premiere comes from the inaugural release on Cardiology, a new sub-label from Burnski and Jon Woodall’s Constant Sound imprint. Having proven his aptitude for quality sampling on his last EP for Roots for Bloom Records, young frenchman Yann Polewka steps up yet again with 4 club-ready cuts of disco-tinged house.

Our pick off the EP is the B2, “Night’s Over Vern”. Right off the bat, that mysterious harp and those crisp cowbells had us hooked, throw in a tight bassline here and some shuffling hi-hats there, and there’s the backbone of any good disco edit. But no good bit of disco is complete without a hefty dose of filtered strings, a low-pass breakdown and groovy vocals for that final drop, all of which Yann has generously provided us with. All in all, it’s safe to say that Yann has the recipe for a perfect disco edit figured out, and tracks like these are a reminder of why nobody can ever get enough of that sweet french touch.

Between us, I might have given this track a round or two on the dance floor already, and believe me it works. No need to take our word though, give this a spin and see if you can stop your head from bobbing. Cardiology 00 comes out on the 28th of January, grab it here.
