i can't wait for this to come out so I can ROCK

CASABLANCA

SOME VYBZ

The noise echoed in the empty chamber. The room was lined with metallic plates and the sound bounced in expansive chaos as the walls rattled. The light glowed a pale, glistening, medicinal white and the foghorn of a speaker continued to blare the same tune repetitively. Men marched asleep to the sound of a kick which banged and banged. Then all of a sudden there was a change, a melody, a twist of fate within a space which had once been so cold. 

Anthony Fade are an Australian duo with a sense of purpose. Having previously released on Tomahawk, Lost Palms and House Crime they now feature on Shall Not Fade accompanied by a legend in the form of Andres. He steps up to remix "Same Tune".

PREMIERE: Anthony Fade - Same Tune (Andres Remix)[Shall Not Fade]

Matthieu Faubourg - Slomo

@dj-heure  @lphnyc
A zonked-out, spectacularly fun, and dynamic EP from the Australian producer whose previous efforts have appeared on Lobster Theremin's Distant Hawaii and Seb Wildblood's All My Thoughts. Lively, punchy drums throughout, splashes of tropicalia here and there, smatterings of dubby strangeness sprinkled across, and wash upon wash of pads everywhere. A jolly good time to be played in big and small rooms alike.

Fold returns to Shall Not Fade with the broken beat, club driven ‘Astral Planes’ EP. 

'Onion Gravy', not only a UK dietary staple but also a masterclass in how to tastefully build, unlock and innovate every penny’s worth from a sample is brought to you by Fold. 

The way this loops, ebbs, bubbles and flows- you'd be forgiven for entering a fugue like state, how mesmerising the production levels are and different tones, breaks and builds there are within the space of a couple of minutes. This is a stark reminder of why the producer remains on the forefront of the underground, also who doesn’t like Onion Gravy?

A2 – One (For Mom)
B1 – Havel
B2 – Havel (Trip Mix)

Release Info:
The second instalment of Nachtbraker’s new label features four new original tunes from the Nachtbraker kitchen.

Expect his signature deep grooves and inventive arrangements with moody synth melodies. Leonardo Ceviche is built for the dance floor, a “lean back” groove with a trance vibe to it. One (For Mom) is tailored for the warm summer nights, a steady baseline and snappy snares supporting the lush and sweet synth melody. Flip the record for two versions of Havel. With the first one taking on a classic deep house guise, the Trip Mix of Havel takes us on a journey
beyond your imagination.

Mastered and lacquer cut by Simon (The Exchange) Davey.

The Lisbon-based No, She Doesn’t is more than just a label, it’s a movement. An open-minded outlook on life has led the collective to take pride in representing values such as equality and freedom, not forgetting to have fun along the way. Their nonchalant take on house has already won many fans around the world, while the names of the crew like DJ Spielberg, DJ Unsure or DJ Legwarmer speak volumes on how serious they take themselves.

It is the Full On EP from the latter that we’ll be taking a closer look today, which the debut release from the up-and-coming producer. With the usual sample-heavy approach, the Portuguese label aficionado has delivered four smashing cuts, just in time to drench the dancefloors this summer. Taking influences from disco and RnB, masterfully layering them and adding a touch of nostalgia, DJ Legwarmer comes up with a winning formula and the EP title seems ever more fitting. 

Opening with ‘Quandary’, an untamed belt of rhythm activity steeped in lush disco fragments, the EP follows with the title track ‘Full On’, atomized with an addictive groove and unexpected tricks. On the flip side, we find a dreamy cut of exotica on ‘Emotion/Behaviour’, before ‘Mar De Nuvens’, the final piece where DJ Legwarmer demonstrates his instinctive feel for emotive and catchy samples that we won’t get tired of. Between self-absorption and euphoria, Full On is a must have, anytime, anywhere.

12’ is coming out July 1st, you can pre-order it here.

Västkransen Records is a vinyl label releasing new house and disco from producers in Stockholm's dance music scene. On the inaugural release of Västkransen Variations, Salary Boy and Ari Bald team up to explore four shades of house. While both these Stockholm producers have been hailed for their tasty sample-based dance tracks, they now reveal a deeper side of themselves.

On the A-side, Salary Boy gives us “Newland Court”, whose bassline and jazzy soundscapes might bring a certain Larry Heard to mind. However, the production is a timeless piece of house beauty. On his remix, Ari Bald infuses the track with punchy breakbeats and wild arpeggios.

On the AA-side, Ari continues with “Daytrippin’”, a retro-futuristic saga which plays out in a dreamlike, almost druggy, haze. Salary Boy then closes the record with his own interpretation of the track, stripping it down it into a powerful four-on-the-floor spinner.

Västkransen Variations is set to come out next week on October 18th. Make sure to pre-order your copy by following this link right here!

PREMIERE: Ari Bald - Daytrippin (Salary Boy Remix)
