Everybody who knows Connaisseur, will probably be aware of the fact that we simply love the concept of remixes. To find the right person for a specific track in order to turn an already amazing original into a new direction, is always an exciting challenge. Of course, there is always some wishful thinking on our side about what it will turn out to be like. Usually, we are completely wrong, which however doesn’t mean that we are not happy with the result. Usually, we love the result even more than our own brainchild. 
In April, we released Of Norway’s sophomore album "The Loneliest Man In Space", a diverse masterpiece. Since then, we have been searching for remixers whom we personally really like and of whom we are sure they can turn the track into a direction we can’t even imagine. It was a bit of a journey, but now after the product ist completed, we are more than happy that we were able to bring such a group of remixers together on one product.

As every remixer has delivered such a great interpretation, we decided to give each of them enough space to be discovered, which is why we will be releasing one remix per week over the course of two months. A selection of these remixes can be found on a 12“ extract. One extra remix is exclusively for radio and streaming.

Enjoy the interpretations by Lauer, Legowelt, Roy Of The Ravers, Panthera Krause, Davis & Zopelar, Shayde & Alex Flitsch, Karim Sahraoui, Mr. Tea and Waving Dust.

This is part 5 out of 8 featuring Shayde & Alex Flitsch’s interpretation for „Don’t Break The Silence“.

So it begins! Large Music kicks off our 25th year with a shining new release from London duo Saison. We can't think of anyone else we would rather have represent this important milestone for us and we can't think of a better release to kick things off. Two tracks to choose from here with Everybody being an important standout; who doesn't love a piano filled anthem for the new year? Sahara Rising also highlights the consummate production skills from the boys and can be played in a variety of settings. Just great music!

Dee Montero had a breakthrough year in 2017, with his single ‘Halcyon’ on Diynamic being named Pete Tong’s #1 track of 2017 and topping the Beatport Deep House chart. Dee now makes his Anjunadeep debut with a pair of melodic weapons in double header ‘In The Wild / Polaris’. 
‘In The Wild’ blends the soaring vocals of Malaysian singer-songwriter Meliha with an infectious piano line, whilst peak time cut ‘Polaris’ provides a dark dancefloor moment.

https://soundcloud.com/iloiloilo is one of the more unique producers coming from Iceland past 20 years. In 2011 he became a widely known name on dancefloors around the world with his edit of New Musik’s classic ‘Warp’ and more recently with the 2017 hit ‘Everybody’ on OOFT!’s label Foto Recordings. ILO has a great catalogue of releases on labels such as Rebirth, S-Hit Records and Thule’s legendary offshoot 66 Degrees Records dating back to 2001. He’s also been a much sought-after remixer through the years. ILO has made remixes for some of Iceland's widely known artists, for example, Sigur Rós, múm and GusGus. Having him finally in the Lagaffe family is a great honour. 

The two tracks take the listener on a ride in terms of length, Take You To Love by ILO is a two track piece divided into the A side: Take You To Love and the B side: Miracles. 

Take You To Love is a slow breaky ode to the Naked Music’s 90s classic ‘I’ll Take You To Love’. It’s unconventional bpm, diva vocals and breakbeats make an interesting combination that hits you right in the feels. On the flip side is the house anthem ‘Miracles’ which offers more soothing vibes, but still hits you heavy with a thumping bassline and soulful vocals. “I still believe in miracles” it keeps repeating in your head for a hypnotizing 15-minute journey.

ILO’s style of arranging the tracks without rushing hypnotizes the listener, and before you know it you’ve gone on a 15-minute ride through ILO’s vast soundscape.

Tracklist:
A1. Take You To Love 
B2. Miracles

Following last year's 'Kiyadub' EP, Andrew Weatherall returns to Byrd Out later this month with a brand new 12". Having invited his mate Andy Bell (y'know, him out of Ride) round to his studio to buy a Les Paul, Andrew suggested that he test the guitar out over a track he was working on, which then became the b-side here 'Making Friends With The Invader'.

We're very happy to be premiering the title track 'Blue Bullet', a trippy, dubbed-out construction with a surprisingly affecting melody which tunnels under your skin and refuses to leave.

Blue Bullet

PREMIERE: Andrew Weatherall - Blue Bullet [Byrd Out]

"'Pluvia' is a thrilling trance-fuelled techno ride that pulls a celestial vocal, slimy acid squelches and a whole lot of hardcore attitude into its dizzy orbit."

PREMIERE: Dual Shaman - Pluvia [Drastic Arts]

There was a strange taste in his mouth as he walked away from the table upon which he had eaten dinner. There was a bitter sense of harrowing gloom which hung fierce above his head and the taste of pili pala kisses were all that was left upon his tongue. Walking between the dense city streets he began to wonder why life had turned out this way. Was it his fault? Was it merely a game within which he had simply been part of a masterplan? These questions troubled him so...

Doppelate is a producer whom we have watched with a keen eye as of late, an up and coming talent from London with an interesting take on house music and more.

PREMIERE: Doppelate - Pili Pala Kisses [X-Kalay]

He braced his lapels sharply. Yes, this is it, he thought. Admiring his reflection, he saw a picture of health and success. The lights in hotel bathrooms had a dreadful tendency to cast a deathlike pallor across the face, and this one was no different; he momentarily broke character to remind himself he isn’t actually the colour of diluted mustard. One final splash of cold water, one final nod of encouragement, one last straightening of the tie, and he was ready. Through the gap in the door bled the din of the Santa Ana Swing, muffled and half-present, like a memory of a song from one’s childhood. To the elevator, then; the party had already begun.  

M.ono's searing 'Santa Ana Swing' is lifted from a new VA compilation, 'The Blaq Bunch Vol. 2', assembled by German label Blaq Numbers. Comprising 16 tracks, the release is available on cassette and digital from August 9th.

PREMIERE: M.ono - Santa Ana Swing [blaq numbers]

“Look, I’m not saying… I just mean…” the details were as blurry as the walls and the faces. It didn’t matter. Ironically, the fog which shrouded her most immediate memory was thin, and she could see its centre clearer than her present surroundings. Though it was getting light outside and, on this randomer’s shabby couch, she felt as though she’d become cement that was always never quite dry, she was compelled to head back out into what remained of the night. Just one last time. It was undeniably preferable against being trapped at the wrong afters with someone pretentious.

PAS, following A-Side AD, is the second of a new two-tracker by Peckham's FYI Chris. Entitled Snod Hill, it's set for release on August 7th.

WEST005

PREMIERE: FYI Chris - PAS [West Friends]

The sixth release on @firstsecond-dublin comes courtesy of mysterious Berlin duo G.E.O. Corp. Out 31st August, 'College Drive' has already been receiving support from the likes of Shanti Celeste and NTS' Charlie Bones, and comes backed with a remix by Der Opium Queen who's also released on the label.

We're very happy to be premiering the Day Mix, a shimmering sliver of breakbeat house that already has me pining for a half-remembered summer. It's got an outrageous piano solo and some cheeky saxophone. What more could you possibly want from life?

<2019 UPDATE> 
Six years ago, i released this bootleg right before i embarked on the Mongol Rally, a 37-day long journey from London to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. The fact that this song is still relevant in 2019 is more than I ever could've hoped for, and for those still listening to this today I'd like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, and that your support means the world to me. 

As for me, 2018 was a momentous year for me for I have come out of a long hiatus from releasing music. I released an EP under @horizonterminal with a buddy @lam_chop and also have been doing steady releases on my Spotify and Instagram channels. 

For those that would like to follow along, please come along to my Instagram (@meticmusic) where I am more active and we could connect! In the meantime, I've rambled a lot, so let's chiiiiiillllll - to the next episode :)
</2019 UPDATE>

was in the middle of working on a follow up to The (Sonic) Chronic when it dawned on me that it was in the same key and almost the same bpm as Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang. Couldn't resist this rework. No rights intended or reserved with this bootleg. 

here's to a summer to remember-
