In this first days of 2019 we have the fantastic new track from Discos Capablanca's Golpe De Estado - 'Liquido'...
When we say 'new' this is a track which has existed in some shape or form for a decade, a production from Hugo Capablanca and Oklo Gabon was reportedly rejected from a label for being too weird.  A decade on Marc Piñol heard the track, was blown away by it and asked Hugo to remix it.
The result is a shonky New York influenced lo intensity houser chock full of live instrumentation.  Bongos, sax, flute and freejazz which would not sound out of place in a Kenny Dope or Louie Vega set, think Nu Yorcian Soul remade in the Catalan and you are somewhere near close, but not close enough. 
Do yourself a favour, hit play melt away.

PREMIERE | Golpe De Estado - Liquido (Marc Piñol Remix) [Discos Capablanca] 2019

It’s a welcome change to see the dance music industry shift from a sausage fest to a decidedly more diverse scene of artists and DJs. As an A&R guy, it’s been a source of frustration that I haven’t signed more non-dude talent. In my defence, 95%+ of the demos I’ve gotten over the years have been from men or boys, but I’ve realized that perhaps following the example of an A&R hero like Matias Aguayo, I could do more to dig and encourage women to get more involved in the little community I build with my labels. With that in mind, I’ve got a few releases in the works with some incredible women and am happy to announce this EP today, on International Women’s Day, because not only does MISS REPRESENTED indeed check that gender box, she is a total original, a woman of experience and knowledge, she bucks all the trends and has a fearless, powerful voice. She’s not a kid with inflated instagram numbers and a manager, she’s someone who has lived her life in the dark corners of the music scene and has a story to tell. If there’s one thing dance music is guilty of, rightly or wrongly, it’s escapism, and a refusal to confront real issues and subjects. On those rare occasions where a dance track holds overt meaning it’s SO powerful and memorable, and while these aren’t conventional peak-time tracks, they’ve definitely got groove and they’ve got a message. I could go on and on, but without further ado, here’s a sneak preview of the B2 cut from the next release on my new label PARTY CENTRAL.

Miss Represented - The Truth Is Out There [PC002]

The clock seemed as if it hadn't moved for a long, long spell. Sat in the eerie emptiness of a cafe amidst the back streets he began to wonder if he was being stood up. His date was to be late, she'd warned him of that but he hadn't banked on burning as much time as he had sat staring into space. The red lights behind the brasserie flickered and whirred, it was an old spot, the type you might have admired romantically in an old film. Those days were long gone now, what was left was a deadbeat diner, a flashy glimpse into what had come before... Style and many substances...

Guillaume Des Bois features on a new EP set for release on Ear Clip Series, a newly launched label with smart taste. The EP is made up of well constructed edits, reworks and magic. One for the moody dancers amidst the dark and dreamy crowds.

Edit Service 97 - by Olsvangèr

Last week we did a studio takeover at Yanik’s to work on a track he picked. What started as a simple edit ended up being what you have here to listen. A bootleg version of this one: Some conguitas, vocals, door slams, nature sounds and a solid bassline. 

We are very happy to say we are releasing YP’s first track ever. 

Enjoy!

Originally written and produced as the centrepiece to his 2014 FabricLive compilation, Erol Alkan’s ‘Sub Conscious' arrives on 12” vinyl and to streaming platforms for the first time, accompanied by two charismatic remixes from Manfredas.

Shimmering and undulating, the original cut of ‘Sub Conscious’ was designed with Fabric’s cavernous main room in mind, taking full advantage of any finely-tuned soundsystem with a patient, rhythmic trip. Remastered here, the track evolves out of hazy darkness towards halcyon euphoria in a uniquely Alkan style.

Resident at Opium Club in Vilnius, cult DJ and producer Manfredas provides two hugely creative and alternative takes on ‘Sub Conscious’. The first works hallucinatory magic with a supple bassline and much of Alkan’s original stretched and repurposed around vampish oscillations and a westward vocal sample.

On the contrary, the ‘Stream Of Consciousness' mix sees Manfredas pitch down and strum the bones of ‘Sub Conscious’, unexpectedly delivering a lovingly lethargic, bottom-heavy jam that’s pure dubside pleasure.

Sub Conscious (Manfredas Stream Of Consciousness)

He walked through the empty desert and looked around at the dunes of sand which loomed tall in the distance. Soon he would need to begin digging for it was only here that he might find the salvation of the treasure which he had hunted for so very long. The sun burnt down upon his back as he looked out upon the open abyss and lifted his shovel. He knew not how deep or far he must go to dig himself free from this unholy mess, perhaps it was time to get started. 

Sutja has been a friend of Ransom Note for many years, a writer and a creative he has graced our humble webpages on many an occasion. His music career has grown in prominence more recently, however his latest release, an album on Lumiere Noire is perhaps his greatest achievement thus far.

PREMIERE: Sutja Gutierrez - I'm Diggin' [Lumière Noire]
