Sex On The Beach

B1 Ichisan - Mambo

Good jazz-funk has no sell-by-date. And as A Band Called Flash prove ever so fruitfully, it never fails to cause a spirited head nod at the very least. Exec produced by Ron Trent and Jonesy, 'Mother Confessor' is the work of artist, writer and producer Jared Hines — and boy, does it half whiff of your favourite Atmosfear record or the alternative disco sounds of Arthur Russell's Dinosaur L. Any of the EP's five offerings could have ended up on our page today, but it's "Mother Confessor", the gliding opener that wins the ballot this time. Sensuous in all the right places.

Slide into that pre-order as soon as you can.

A Band Called Flash "Mother Confessor" - Boiler Room Debuts

Hessle Audio mark the first release of their 10th year with a label debut from one of Bristol's finest. Head of the Timedance label and events series, Batu steps up with 4 tracks of driving percussion and oddball atmospherics.

Look for the Nite Talk EP to be released October 20.

After spending the bulk of his career as a key member of the 50Weapons clan, Welsh techno producer Benjamin Damage has now found a new home on the vaunted R&S label. Although his new 'Montreal' EP won't arrive until October 27, we debuted the record's melodic, rave-ready title track on Red Bull Radio's First Floor, our weekly look at what's new in electronic music.

Montreal EP

Benjamin Damage "Montreal" [First Floor Premiere]

@aroop-roy is next up on Lazy Days, bringing his well honed house tones to the label in four varied takes on chunky Deep House. "Afrika My Home" is utterly infectious with its shuffling groove and warm, buttery keys. The track also gets a heavy dubbed out treatment at the end of the record and sounds even more potent for late night dance-floor sessions. 

Already garnering a #2 Best Sellers in Vinyl for All Genres spot on Juno, a 9/10 Mixmag Review, and Radio Support by Gilles Peterson on BBC6, this EP is definitely one to pay attention to!

*Premiere version is low-res 112kbps*

Joeski & Doc Martin - Vajra EP 

Joeski returns to Poker Flat Recordings in collaboration with Doc Martin for yet another reminder of why they are held in such high regard within the scene. Having cut his teeth in the early 90s, the NYC house veteran Joeski teams up with L.A. based Doc Martin to bring more heat to this latest release - the Vajra EP.

Featuring the vocal talents of Lillia, the guys lay down a signature deep, tough and funky groove for her to work her magic on. Through a minimum of elements, the track buries deep into the consciousness, before Lillia brings in subtle vocal flourishes to deepen the intensity.

'Leary's Revenge' is a shade tougher in its approach - a thick, insistent kick coupled with precise percussion to create a true late night banger. Utilising their feel for dubbed out effects and space, Joeski and Doc bring in some tripped out spoken word vocals to round out the track.

Daniel Trim - Keep Moving Forward (Original Mix)

The wheels kept spinning as the car travelled down the long, winding road. In the distance there was little light remaining but he continued to drive through what was left, the motion was underway and soon he would arrive at his final destination. The towering hills rose up to the sky alongside the twisted concrete path and soon the glow of the headlights would be all that could guide the way. For now the hum of the engine was enough for company, for now. 

Ilija Rudman is set to appear on a new EP for Is It Balearic? He is remixed by none other than Italo house legend Don Carlos who delivers a charming melodic inspired remix.

PREMIERE: Ilija Rudman - Motions (Don Carlos Ambient Mix)[Is It Balearic?]

The beach was busy with human life upon the first date in July. It was as if half of the country had flocked from far and wide to touch down upon the shore and watch the waves slowly roll in against the golden sand. The heat poured down upon the crowds from the radiant sun which shone brightly up high above. The sky was a crystal clear blue and the sound of sweet music travelled softly upon the warm summer breeze. In cafes some watched others swim whilst afraid to dunk their own feet, they drank from straws a golden liquid made for a day beneath the light. 

We love a good edit here at Ransom Note, it can be a fine art, a thing of delicate beauty. The Rollover DJ's have reworked "Che Cavolo Di Vita Fai" in a showcase of balearic beauty.

Rollover

PREMIERE: Unknown - Che Cavolo Di Vita Fai (Rollover Edit)[Anything Goes]

The night had drawn to a close and there was little noise left in the small basement. The reverb echoed loudly from the machine in the corner but it was not a sweet sound or tone but bitter and dull. The band had left the room some time ago but the crowd remained loyally attached to the stage - hoping and praying for the return of their heroes. Little did they in fact know that this was the end of times, the last dance and a farewell outing. Soon they would leave but not just yet, not now. 

The Golden Filter continue to delight and inspire, a duo with a sense of purpose and a formidable swagger. Optimo did very well indeed to snap them up and their music demonstrates supreme quality.

The Golden Filter - End Of Times EP

PREMIERE: The Golden Filter - End of Times (Dub Mix)[Optimo Music]

The towering crane looked down over the skyscrapers in motion. The construction looked almost alien like from such great height, a rugged scattering of metal framework, steel beams and concrete. Vertigo had started to kick in as he sat perched atop the city, his tiny cabin did little to offer comfort or security from the pouring rain which battered against the glass window. The raindrops sat laden upon the frame, he watched them drip one by one down the pane. Only a few more hours to go....

Opal Sunn is the dynamic duo made up of Al Kassian and Hiroaki OBA, the pair have been producing music together for several years. Simon Pitt and Al Kassian launched Planet Sundae back in 2016.Listen to "Vertigo" from their new EP.

PREMIERE: Opal Sunn - Vertigo [Planet Sundae]

The estate was rugged and rural, not somewhere one would like to spend too much time lurking upon the street corner. Thrown furniture littered the driveways of towerblocks, discarded items perched abruptly amidst an environment in which they were very much out of place. This was the way of the world around here, people cared not for the relevance of beauty but for the daily grind - the perpetual struggle by which man worked from the cradle to the grave. Times were hard. 

SZE Records continues to gather momentum as the label kicks off 2018 from an up and coming producer known as Pletnev. He has previously appeared on the likes of Bahnsteig 23 and Meda Fury.

PREMIERE: Pletnev - Thrown Furniture [SZE]

The bird was a golden delicate crimson beneath the glow of the shimmering spotlight. A small group of spectators had gathered to observe the display as it fluttered gracefully inside its cage. It had once been wild and free yet now it was tamed and captive. The lost phoenix was very far away from home. Little did they dream of its trouble and plight to date, they simply observed its playful nature and unique beauty. What was the past to the outside world anyway? 

Josh Caffe is set to release a new album on Night Sheen, he is accompanied by some fine producers which include the likes of Snuff Crew, Alinka, The Carry Nation and more. Listen to "Lost Phoenix", produced by The Carry Nation.

Black Magic Dawn Pt.1

PREMIERE: Josh Caffe - Lost Phoenix [Night Sheen]

This one is for people who like the real disco tools. For dudes who love the style of DJ Harvey, Prins Thomas or Todd Terje. For DJ's that want the girls to dance.
Toy Tonics lead honcho Black Loops teamed up with italo-spanish DJ Innocent Soul in his Berlin studio. Do we have to introduce Black Loops? Not really: He started his career on Toy Tonics three years ago. Meanwhile did 5 EPs on the label - including his main club hit SEX (that was one of the 50 most sold House tracks on Beatport in 2016). 
Innocent Soul is a young Italian living in Barcelona where he is a quite established kid in the nightlife scene. Vittorio Rinaldi his name. He is resident DJ at Space Music Garden project and resident for the Modular project at City Hall.
Like Black Loops he is not really innocent. At least if it comes to music. He is a huge lover and collector of disco, afro, black, raw and house music vinyl. You can hear the influences in this EP for sure. Rollin’. This EP is a bomb.

Premiere: Tom VR 'You (or Someone Like You)'

Swedish label Omena's latest signing is an auspicious one - especially if this release is any indication. Coming courtesy of little-known British producer Books, the Sour Grapes EP is indicative of the label’s undoubted penchant for groove-soaked gems. Featuring three originals as well as a fittingly astute remix from one of 2017’s best breakthrough artists, Laurence Guy, this is an EP that’s stuffed with good-time party vibes throughout. 

👉 Please support: show some ❤ and repost when you like this track.

Our premiere is a disco-infused funky house roller. No holds barred and no time to stand still. Shine those dancing shoes and get grooving. This kinda music will turn a smile on everyone's face. Infectious to the bone!
