R$N Premieres: April 2017

Daniele Baldelli & DJ Rocca - Pink Ghost (Man Power's "One More Week" Remix) 128kpbs

Brisbeats returns with Summerslam, a standout progressive house cut from Rockka. The original blends rolling grooves, driving low-end and uplifting melodic touches, capturing the perfect balance of summer energy and underground depth. On remix duty, K Loveski turns in a lush and hypnotic rework with his signature melodic flair, Matt Black injects peak-time power with a tougher, club-ready edge, while Dingle closes the package with a deep, atmospheric version designed for late-night floors. A versatile release built for warm-ups, peak moments and sunrise sets alike — Summerslam is an essential addition to any progressive collection.

sogno di te

The stream gently bubbled in the light of the morning sun. The water trickled softly down the mountain face towards the rock pool below, a love flowing upon a distant wave. As they gathered at the foot of the cliff they looked up to the sky above, enchanted and mesmerised by the glimmering reflection of the water's glow. White mist lay softly amidst the campsite, soon they would begin the next part of their glorious trek towards the head of the hill. 

Shadow City are set to kickstart their record label with a three track release purpose built for basements and festivals alike. With the EP having already been supported by the likes of Denis Sulta, Midland, Dan Shake and more this one is bound to be big.

PREMIERE: Harry Parsons - Love Flow [Shadow City]

The sound echoed in the dusty chamber. A small crowd had gathered to observe him play in what was a beautifully orchestrated environment. The audio was crystal clear, it landed softly upon the ears of the delicate audience as they stared fiercely into the darkness. For he was not visible, at least not to the naked eye, the vamp was all that was important in this place, not his outward appearance, tattered clothes or distant gaze. The music was all that mattered. 

Arkajo makes up one half of the infamous Genius Of Time duo. His solo work sees him draw upon darker influences, more akin to the sound of murky back room club.

BROR03

PREMIERE: Arkajo - Vamp [BROR]

The cries echoed through the darkness on a hot, stormy night. The rain splattered upon the dusty floor and the tribe moved steadily forwards into the glow of the moonlight. They rejoiced in great glee at the falling sky, their cotton shirts soaked beneath the damp rain water. These were the voices of Africa which were missing from the traditional coverage in the 21st century. Too much time was spent buried in the past, in trials and tribulations of a proud and noble people. Tonight, the rain would cleanse such stereotypical despair. 

José Manuel's "Excursion Africanism" was arguably one of the highlights of last years musical calendar. Now the release has been remixed and who better to feature than Mehmet Aslan?

PREMIERE: José Manuel - Voices Of Africa (Mehmet Aslan Remix)[Music For Dreams]

The television set flickered and buzzed in the corner of his bedroom. As he ate his breakfast in solitude he pondered what the day might hold for him, productivity, despair or joy. These days his life was varied and distinct, far different to what he had perceived it might be as a small child. Ray, they called him, a man about town. Little did they know of his reluctant existence on the 12th floor flat. His anxious tendencies and his distaste for the world outside. 

Hammer is best known for his musical output on Feel My Bicep and Optimo. Now he steps up to release a new three track EP on LOFT Records.

Canna EP

PREMIERE: Hammer - Man Ray [LOFT Records]

She glanced towards him with a shimmering smile. Her lips shone a radiant red under the glow of the hazy lamp. She stood up and walked towards him along the corridor, she introduced herself with a whisper before wandering off into the night. In the background the echo of chamber music reverberated between the hollow walls, he felt dizzy and weak at her very presence. She did something far beyond words were capable of describing. Erotic and erotica in the purest form. 

Into The Light return with a spectacular assortment of music from Akis Daoutis, a Greek musician who has been recording for almost forty years. They reveal new material alongside reissued gold on a new compilation titled "Space, Time and Beyond".

PREMIERE: Akis - Erotica [Into The Light]

The fruit was luxurious and sweet. She plucked it from the trees within the grove, the tall fences which lined the beautiful green branches seemed not as fierce and frightening as they first had when she had arrived. The manor house cast a long shadow down the garden and in the distance she could smell the delicious cooking of her mother. She ran between the leaves excitedly for she had spent too long beneath the sun for now. It was time to retreat to the shade. 

Olde Gods return with a gorgeous sun kissed sound as part of their new Tapes project. Fun edits with a dance floor focussed twist for the adventurous dj.

PREMIERE: Olde Gods - El Javu [Tapes]

Stefan Schwander aka Harmonious Thelonious is definitely not a newcomer. He has been around for a long time and has already released lots of amazingly varied music on labels such as Emotional Response, Italic, Meakusma and Diskant. He’s also an integral part of the infamous Duesseldorf / Salon Des Amateurs axis that is an obvious hotbed of talent. He describes his style as "American minimalism vs. African drumming vs. European sequencing", a heady mixture which is clearly evident on this EP though with a definite Middle Eastern twist. At Versatile HQ they were introduced to this clutch of tracks by one of the members of Acid Arab and were totally blown away. Stefan has a very unique production style, fusing all of the above elements with a hint of Gamelan, a dash of tweaked FM synthesis type sounds with a dose of warm ambience and finally his own singular touch on the mix. Here premiered is the b1 "Defender", our fave cut of this delightful four tracker. revisiting some of the A-side sound palette, but catapulting those cosmic tones into a realm of amphetamine fuelled intensity - peaktime drummy psychedelia for any and all dance floors. Another winner on Versatile ! Cop it here : http://shop.versatilerecords.com/album/harmonious-thelonious-4-tracks-ep-ver117

BĘÃTFÓØT - De Vibez (Samim Version) Ft. Gabriel Broid & Xen

You want to hear a dance record with live guitar and percussion with a sunrise in a field at the end of a rave vibe released by a Brighton (via Tirana) based dance event promotion/record label with a penchant for putting out tracks with live instrumentation to produce a warm feeling in your belly, I hear you say? Well look no further than right here right now.
Olimpiada Records have been kind enough to share Pines in the Sun - Zig Zag Sea, an EP which evokes the ocean to the point where you can almost taste salt in your mouth when you listen to it. Sun is the lead cut and opens with a meditative chant which is later joined in quite kindly by laidback disco sounds which set an irresistable tone before giving way to warm and life affirming guitar tones. 
Uj Pa Gaz and Olsi's new project is clearly here to bring the solar rays, the breeze and the distant sound of the waves through our ears and into our souls... Just make sure you bring a towel. Out July 11th on digital format.

Zig Zag Sea EP

PREMIERE | Pines In The Sun - Sun [Olimpiada] 2019

The sounds of Norway are back with us as Karl Fraunhofer (now going under Karl F) drops an E.P. of insane sounds...if you was after something that ticks the 'acid house-warehouse rave-arcade machine soundtrack' boxes then this is the E.P. you've been looking for.

Title track Altered Beats is one of the most unique things we've ever heard, pumping, broken beat, acid rave style vibes leads into a monster chug drop with insane synth work throughout.

Future Express retains the uniqueness and goes straight in for the italo/cosmic vibe with a stunning breakdown that is straight out of Streets Of Rage but with added whallop & thud...this has got to be heard to be believed.

Timothy Clerking teams up with Massey to deliver a warp factor peak time acid slammer rework of Altered Beats whilst Karl's fellow country men Rolf Royce & Oddvar Bråk tackle Future Express and drizzle it in that cool unique Norwegian charm with the result being an almost hi-nrg Norwegian Disco makeover...mega!
