Souleance return with a brand new EP for First Word Records. Following the huge success of 'La Beat Tape' in early 2013, the French duo have been busy in the studio preparing a 6-tracker aimed squarely at the dancefloor. Souleance is the result of the partnership between producer Fulgeance (check his new LP 'Cubes') and DJ Soulist of legendary Paris event What The Funk. In 2008 they released their debut EP 'Le Monde' which along with follow up 'Le Plaisir' is one of First Word's all-time bestsellers. 2012 saw their debut LP 'La Belle Vie' released to widespread critical acclaim, winning them fans including Gilles Peterson, Lefto and Laurent Garnier. With an eye-catching live show now up and running (check their recent charismatic appearance on Boiler Room for evidence) Souleance are going from strength to strength.
The new EP is exactly what you'd expect from Souleance, taking in 80s influenced electro (Brotha, Broobecker & Vacances), audacious sample flips (Georgian Kiss), infectious-grooved hip hop (Mais Um) and up-tempo tropical beats (Tropicalidad). All six tracks are guaranteed club winners that only Souleance could deliver.

SOL 043 "Sabilu EP" - KMLN

1. Sabilu feat. Mian - KMLN
2. Gitamato - KMLN
3. Sabilu feat. Mian (Mira & Christopher Schwarzwalder Remix) - KMLN
4. Sabilu feat. Mian (Schon Long Remix) - KMLN

Inspired by their world travels, and a desire to bring back a piece of every musical culture they encounter, KMLN 's 2nd release on Sol*Selectas, the "Sabilu EP" is 2 original tracks written and recorded in Indonesia, and Mexico. "Sabilu" features the vocals of Javanese jazz singer Mian Meuthia, now living in Bali, and original field recordings of jewelry, sticks, shakers, and traditional Gamelon music. The Indonesian lyrics speak about the love that exists in all humans, and that even though we all strive to be different, we are one in the same. "Gitamato" is a reinterpretation of the roots of Flamenco music, historically imported by the Spanish into Mexico. The spirit of gypsy wanderers is still alive and strong felt in Mexico, particularly in the town of Tulum - where a genuine sense of ancient magic can literally be felt in the air. In this song KMLN has recorded live the guitars, claps, shakers, synths, snares, and bell sounds. For the remix of "Sabilu", we have enlisted the stellar work of Mira & Christopher Schwarzwalder from Berlin, whose residencies at Bar 25, and now Katerblau, have made them underground legends. Their remix strips back the original, taking us on a slower even deeper hypnotic journey - while retaining the original message of human love and respect for all, within the lyrics. The final remix of "Sabilu" comes from new producer Schon Long, whose entry into our Shambhala Music Festival / Sol Selectas remix competition earlier this summer, was the stand out winner. Creatively playing on the pitch of the vocals, and adding the grooviest bass line we've heard in a long time, his remix submission was hands down the victor out of over 50 entries. 
The artwork by Helia Jamali captures the feminine energy and message of oneness in "Sabilu", represented here by the deep red orange Indonesian flower with goddesses dancing around its essence.

 The next stage of Swiss based DJ and producer DANIEL PORTMAN is a bright and delightful one. Progressive house music at its best. Right where his roots are, where he rose out of nowhere 10 years ago like phoenix out of the ashes and built himself slowly a name with steady high-class productions.
The first decade brought him on some of the biggest stages and to some of the most exotic places in the world.
LINGUA starts the new decade and a new Daniel Portman era. With a smooth and very catchy arpeggio line, a heart breaking chord progression in the breakdowns as well as some innovative but still pumping drum sections Daniel shows why he still has it, why experience and wisdom can make a little difference.
On the AA-side BENHAM CREEK rocks with a rolling psy bassline and a amtmospheric oriental flute solo that lifts the track up to the gods of psy-house music. Yes, some might say, this still has to be invented. We say, it already has been invented and Daniel Portman takes good credit for that.

The jungle was swamped with rogues and tyrants. Between the trees their warwhoops echoed, at least so his head indicated. Popping the pill he had entered a world of 2mg delirium, a chaotic blur of colours and mystical landscapes. What was real or make believe was now far beyond comprehension as his feet pedalled quickly beneath him. The forest floor was damp and moist beneath the pouring rain and his shoes squelched in the marshy ground. 

Reptant is set to release a new EP on Tomahawk Records in the form of "Night Time Creepin". Intelligent techno with a disorientated edge.

The fog loomed ominously above the lake. The waters rippled beneath the slightest breeze deep in the countryside. The trees beside the pool shook and the leaves rattled softly in the glow of the afternoon. In the distance a little boat could be seen rowing back and forth upon the lake. Sat within were two men, cloaked and equipped for the long journey which lay before them. This would take a long time. 

Steevio is set to release a new EP on Eye Shadow, the third in their catalogue. Intricate techno with a dusty twist.

The proof was in the pudding. The restaurant lay deserted in the middle of the day as the owner stood proudly behind his wooden bar. He watched the street outside and the wanderers strolling by. He thought little of their existence but for the money which nestled within their tight pockets. What did they know about business? About loyalty? About family? This was to be his lot until the day he vanished from this sweet earth and he was content, for now. 

Our main man Bawrut steps up to remix Dan Solo and Le Blanc Casanova for the infamous Nein Records. Summer laden acid house with a twist.

The bowl sat promptly upon the glass table. Within it sat a billion grains, tiny particles which flickered pale beneath the glow of the spotlight. This was sugar, the sweet taste of dreams. A nation was built upon this crystal speck, its taste delicate to the tongue and the user addicted to its glorious novelty. Sticky and luxurious it offered a taste sensation unlike little else and those who frequently succumbed to the delicious dot were left hypnotised by its lease of life. 

Brighton based producer Tech Support makes a debut appearance on the newly launched Homage record label. The NYC based party come label is set to release its first EP, a delicious blend of disco and house.

The shop was incredibly busy. The queues rampant and long. Much deliberation had gone into the organisation and conceptual build of the setup, however few had expected that they might be pedalling hundreds of thousands out of the door and onto the streets. All for a glimpse of the rarity which was gold silk, a garment so beautiful that it had caused social uprising and riotous behaviour. The day was young but few would last long enough to gain vision. 

Tendts are a Greek duo who are set to release a new EP on Lower Parts. Intergalactic soundscapes aplenty and beautiful bewilderment.

The green light shone above the door through the darkness. She was the last left alone in the office, a days hard work was done and it was time to make an exit before returning to the reality of outside. She knew that she was supposed to enjoy leaving the towerblock within which she was enslaved, yet somehow the freedom of the city beyond the door scared her senseless. Work was a part of her, a systematic need which allowed her to forget the problems of elsewhere. 

Daisuke Kondo is set to release a new EP on Bosconi Extra Virgin. The Japanese producer delivers an inspired assortment of grooves and is then remixed by Italian duo Nas1 who have recently featured on Wild Oats and Money Sex Records.
