Business As Usual September 2018 : Luke Solomon + Special Guest Rahaan

The rolling ocean was a radiant blue, deep green and murky shade of black. The stars flickered up high above as the 100th tide crashed softly against the beachfront. Sat in a little bar he watched the world go by before his eyes as the boats bobbed and danced upon the water in the distance. Amidst the sand there were cries from late night lovers and free spirits, he cared little for their hedonism and romance. He simply sipped his drink and looked out towards the last glimmer of the dying sun. 

Rhode & Brown are set to release a new EP on Slam City Jams, a sun kissed affair which exists as a beautiful, nostalgic reminder of the dream house era. A near perfect release.

Wave 100 EP

PREMIERE: Rhode & Brown - Wave 100 [Slam City Jams]

The night sky was beautiful and elegant - he gazed upwards towards the distant planets and stars whilst dreaming of escapism and freedom. Waiting for you was such a long, long time. The earth spun slowly down below as his spaceship travelled with perilous freedom through a time and space millions of miles away from home. One day he might retreat back to the greenery of land down there but for now he simply hoped that his one true love might fly into the night sky and join him...

This one is beautiful, delicate and spacious. Helium III is a mysterious producer and 'Waiting 4 U' is about as perfect as deep house can get. You have been warned, enter the ethereal.

* FULL INTERVIEW: : https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-buddy-love/ ‎

If anyone tells you that the chilled out, loungey sound is not their cup of tea, they’re either lying or haven’t listened to Buddy Love. Specialising in the cozier side of house music, Buddy Love’s productions are ripe with lush and hazy tones that evoke lazy beachside afternoons. Since he stole our hearts with his debut Mango Peach LP on Coastal Haze in 2016, we’ve been eagerly awaiting the next instalment from the enigmatic Londoner. 

As the saying goes, good things come in threes - we’re dead excited to be given an interview, a mix, and a hot new EP from Buddy Love this month. Ahead of his forthcoming release on Coastal Haze ‘Sorry That I’m Drifting’ (dropping September 21), we caught up with the man in question for our MIXED BY/ series.

INTERVIEW

MIXED BY/ Buddy Love

The bird flew high through the city between the tall, towering buildings. It could not see the mess which lay down below amidst the streets for it was surrounded by the deep blue glow of the morning light and the mirrored reflections of the city skyscrapers which stood tall like monsterous dinosaurs atop the sprawling landscape. There was not a cloud in the sky today as the smacky dove left London for the last time. It would travel south above the sea to a place of warmth far, far away. 

Trinity Carbon continues the breakbeat and rave revival with a four track EP in what makes up the first Art-E-Fax release. This was our favourite cut from the new release which features beautiful strings and a rugged but steady beat.

E-FAX001

PREMIERE: Trinity Carbon - Smacky Dove [Art-E-Fax]

Deep beneath the mountain was hidden treasure. Nestled within a cave they hoped that by the end of the long hunt and the vicious trip that they may find the infamous black gold which had escaped them for so long. The search party had travelled far and wide and some had come from as far away as Japan to find the deepest sense of mystery which lurked beneath the might hill. The cliff face was rugged and jagged as they looked upwards from base camp, the only way down was up and that was the next step upon the quest...

Cornelius Doctor & Tushen Raï appear on Hard Fist with a new EP packed with hypnotic magic and intriguing melody. Percussion bangs in all glory and this one is right for the deep, moody dancefloor.

We’ve been showered with big names premiere lately at Bolting Bits, and while we appreciate all this heat sometimes a bit of fresh air is more than welcome.
Meet Sean Thomas, producer of the fourth release on the Australian label OTIS, back at it after having released Otis001. We’ll advise that you keep them all on your radars.

Hate it or love it summer is almost done, beach parties with a prosseco in your hand is always a great thing but we at BT think it’s time to bring the intensity, the urgency, of partying back up a notch. We miss the sweat dropping from the ceiling in the haze of it all. Let’s go deep.

The ep opens with Crew Cut, a steamy cut of deep house. Airy hi-hats and a high pitched string supplement a loopy bassline, timeless chord pattern and a pounding kick. With the occasional vocal one-shot the track feels instantly recognizable in its influences while retaining a strong identity.

Following is ITXC, the track we are proud of premiering today. Enter the dance softly thanks to looping and dubbed pads with a subby bassline smelling strong of early drum n bass, not unlike previous releases on the label. Surprisingly enough the track follows up with a straight kick movement although there are some trace of breaking drums lurking in the background. Is it a set opener or closer? Maybe it’s perfect for the rush hour at peak time? It seems to us that this track will make its impact whenever you play it and that’s possibly its biggest quality. Plus there’s a reference to « that » bird sample... Who doesn’t love a bit of meta-quoting?

B-side opens with Being, taking a similar approach to the aforementioned IXTC while going more to the leftfield part of the spectrum. A gorgeous track meant for special moments.

Enhancing this recipe, the closing track Actuall explores more techy and minimalist territories for a subtle introspective journey. It feels like floating on a cloud and should mark a strong impression with the right soundsystem.

PREMIERE: Sean Thomas - ITXC

New Tallinn-based imprint @gestaltlabel has certainly positioned itself as "one to watch" with its first few missives exploring the spaces between electro, ambient and dub techno. Out 22nd September, the fourth release on the label is from Dublin native @sputnik_one, who comes correct with four high velocity electro cuts. We're very happy to be premiering the title track 'Return', a forceful Drexciya/Bicep hybrid that goes off like an underwater explosion.

The Song of the Summer 2018 is...Drake's "In My Feelings" from his album Scorpion. Myles and Olivia are joined by their coworker Nazuk to talk about the song's viral dance challenge, where it ranks in Drake's catalogue, and the song's legacy. Later they break down more Songs of the Summer that they loved and what songs they wished could've taken the title.

Drake's "In My Feelings," the champion // Song of the Summer 10

The forest was crowded during the winter. The plants fought for the shadowy warmth of the deep marsh and it was a world in which the fern reigned supreme. The deep green treetops provided shelter and cover for the wet, damp forest floor which was alive and bubbling amidst the cold dew of the morning. In the distance the sound of a crow could be heard, coarse and loud upon the smooth ease of the morning air and the daylight glow. It was not somewhere you'd like to find yourself lost amidst the bitter cold...
