Margee - In My Sleep [OGOOD003]

HARDWAY BROS

Year 2021 @complaintkulture was born and ready to deliver future classics without the B sides. The Budapest based imprint run by @mulyamusic and Sobek, the labels first release called Bella Fortima EP contains two pretty strong peak time bangers.

MULYA is the type of producer can write the same track time-by-time again with little changes, Bella Fortima sounds as an exception. This is a very well done tune flying somewhere between business melodic and mexican freestyle, We can analyze the synths and drum programming deeper, but it might be boring these sunny summer days. You will burn the floor when give it a chance, no question.

PREMIERE : Mulya - Bella Fortima

Lionclad - Good Night

Margee lands on Other Goodness with his four-track 'In My Sleep' EP.In My Sleep is the debut vinyl release from French producer Margee. Having gained a loyal following last summer with a remix for Tommy Guerrero, released on Music For Dreams, this EP showcases his natural ability at creating low-slung, densely layered productions, perfectly aimed at the dancefloor.

Premiere: Margee - Wrong Dream [Other Goodness]

Artist: https://soundcloud.com/tjade-de-vries
Track: Means To An End
Label: https://soundcloud.com/theseeyesrec
Format: 12" Vinyl, Digital, EP
Release date: 02/7/21

Dutch-native Tjade marks his maiden release on These Eyes this July with the two-track Balancing Act EP. It continues a standout 2021 for the young talent, which has seen him release on Live at Robert Johnson already this year.
Balancing Act leads the charge, taking no prisoners with a gritty, acid-flecked bassline. Chilling chords soon converge upon uplifting synth rolls, to form a well-balanced dancefloor cut. Means To An End brings things to a close, a near six-minute number that pulls deeply on the heartstrings as soothing pads merge with hard-hitting percussion throughout.
Tjade is one of the most exciting prospects to come out of the Netherlands in recent years. Regularly gracing established labels in the form of Live at Robert Johnson, Mule Musiq and many more besides, several of electronic music’s most-esteemed have picked up his productions in recent years. Most notably is 2019’s Koi Jaye, a track that springboarded him into the global spotlight thanks to plays at DGTL, Dekmantel and AVA by the likes of Palms Trax, Job Jobse and Hunee to name a few.

PREMIERE | Tjade - Means To An End [These Eyes] 2021

The plans were set; the flights had been booked, the house sold and they were existing out of suitcases and cardboard boxes. She painted a smile on most of the time and pretended this was the life she'd wanted all along. Perhaps it was... Or maybe she'd just tricked herself into believing that after faking it for so long. This wasn't her dream, it was someone else's — it was the wrong dream. 

Other Goodness kickstarted their label earlier this year with an inaugural release from our RSN family member Bawrut. Now their returning for instalment number two: a debut vinyl release from French producer Margee. Having remixed Tommy Guerrero last year for Copenhagen's Music For Dreams, this EP represents his first complete work which flaunts warm, dense grooves peppered with twinkling melodies. These originals get the remix treatment on the flip from Futureboogie alumni DJ Nature and one half of ALFOS, Sean Johnson under his inimitable Hardway Bros alias.

In My Sleep is the debut vinyl release from French producer Margee. Having gained a loyal following last summer with a remix for Tommy Guerrero, released on Music For Dreams, this EP showcases his natural ability at creating low-slung, densely layered productions, perfectly aimed at the dancefloor.

The release also features two heavyweight remixes. The first of these comes courtesy of underground House legend DJ Nature, who takes the title track and gives it a completely new twist with his inimitable ‘ruff disco’ stylings. Hailing from Bristol (via New York), recent years have seen Nature release on Futureboogie, Golf Channel and Jazzy Sport.

The second remix on the release comes from Hardway Bros (AKA Sean Johnson). Having been an early champion of Margee’s work on his regular ALFOS streaming marathons, Sean took the second track on the release, Wrong Dream, and went into heavy-dub mode. The resulting remix clocks in at just over 11 minutes and is everything you’d expect from him, and more…

Margee said of the release ‘In My Sleep started while taking a shower. The bassline popped up in my mind and I ran out as quickly as possible to record it. From there, I got pulled into a deep emotional trip with groovy tones and dirty sounds. Wrong Dream is actually a lost project that I had to start over again. It turned out to be more fierce than the first one, experimenting with arps and fuzzy synths, while keeping a certain groove that was easier to reproduce.’

In My Sleep is the second release from London based label Other Goodness, following on from Bawrut’s ‘Divergent Emotions’ EP last year, which quickly became a mainstay of the live-streams and a DJs favourite.

Žmogus-raketa yra Sean Johnston. Scenos veteraną ir pačios įvariausios muzikos žinovą šokėjai puikiai pažįsta kaip Hardway Bros ir ½ A Love From Outer Space. Pastarąjį lėto tempo projektą jis dešimtmetį įgarsino kartu su šviesaus atminimo Andrew Weatherall. Šis Ant Bangos miksų serijos epizodas irgi skamba kaip niekur neskubanti kelionė nuo vieno kranto iki kito ir mums su juo labai pakeliui.  

~

The man, the myth, the legend. Sean Johnston is an acid house veteran, techno survivor, and freelance disco consultant. He’s best known for two projects: Hardway Bros and A Love From Outer Space. The latter originally began ten years ago as a nocturnal experiment with the much missed legend Andrew Weatherall. The vibe is still alive and you can feel it in this episode. Enjoy a truly spiritual slo mo journey coast to coast.
