PREMIERE: Not Me - I Got To Have Your Love (Edit) [Bons Records]

The cold wind howled along the inside of the tunnel and she shuddered slightly beneath the strain of the chill. The mountain region was home to a flurry of short rocky pathways which went beneath the towering giants that loomed above. Carved into the rock these man made holes created an intricate crossing without the need for vertical climbing and exploration amidst the peaks. Outside the snow continued to fall heavily from the dark and gloomy skies...

Fina Records return with a fresh EP from Paso, an intriguing prospect which features originally crafted club tracks and an innovative take upon house music in the present day.

SlothBoogie, a London music crew going from strength-to-strength on every front. It doesn’t just stop at running a successful and highly respected label but the DJ collective also throwing regular parties & radio shows throughout London. For nearly the past decade SlothBoogie have been carefully selecting the finest sounds from the underground to feature on their site, showcasing both amazing new talent and headline worthy names. Swales, Jad & The and Anthony Fade are just a few names of the talent released from SlothBoogie. Throughout 2018 SlothBoogie appeared to move up into another gear, by boasting a trio of label in the form of SlothBoogie Editz, SlothBoogie Traxx and SlothBoogie Jamz.

I’m sure you’re no stranger to the famous SBEDITZ & SBTRAXX series, but the Londoners are keen to show yet another unique string to their musical bow by the arrival of the third label of the Jamz series and who better to kick it off than one of the smoothest boys in deep house, 2XM. The New Zealand natives boast a sound like no other, with their music transporting you to the clouds of utopia.‘Hydrate EP’ delivers some of 2XM’s best work with 4 remarkable pad-infused bangers. Starting out with perhaps the most raw and driven track on the release with Sukin. Then with the second on the release comes our premiere of Nivea. Another smooth 2XM journey of fluttery keys and jazzy pads, a true masterpiece. Each track fits the next perfectly, guardianship of that unique sound they have fabricated for themselves.

Chapter 3 of the Tale of Tales series from us at Lagaffe Tales is finally on the horizon, fronting some of Lagaffe's closest friends. https://soundcloud.com/neovinyl-recordings label head https://soundcloud.com/carlothings, https://soundcloud.com/aribald from the Swedish https://soundcloud.com/klubbhuset and our very own https://soundcloud.com/jonbjorn and https://soundcloud.com/moffandtarkin. The theme of this compilation could be a farewell wish to the summer, a sort of reminiscence of the good times, with good friends and summer grooves.

'Understanding' is the B1 of Jesse Bru's latest offering entitled 'That Feeling', and serves as a perfect reminder of the class with which the West Coast producer is able to masterfully curate collections of moody yet soulful samples to create a vibe fit for any occasion.

Prior to writing this up, we listened to this track 10, maybe 15 times, trying to put our finger on what it is about this one that resonates with us so much. Is it the dark, jazzy Rhodes riffs? Is it the driving, Laurence Guy-esque low end? Or is it the stuttering percussion which pieces it all together? Actually, I think it's the vocals - repetitive but never getting old, the vocals breathe a whole new life into the track, bringing a raw, emotive feeling to the table. Really nice stuff - the kind of track that works just as well in your living room on a Sunday as it does on a dark, intimate dance-floor at 3am.

French imprint Pulse Msc is a pretty perfect home for this new EP, which is due to be released at the end of October.

PREMIERE: Jesse Bru - Understanding [Pulse Msc]

With a prolific output of such a consistently high standard many do not realise that Art Of Tones has never released a solo artist album. 

Investing blood, sweat and tears Art Of Tones has invested many hours into this debut album release, which is not just a selection of club tracks, but a storytelling piece of music where each track compliments the others.

Unbalanced is released on vinyl & digital format in November 2018 on Local Talk Records.  Artwork by Michal Rafaj.

Art Of Tones - Unbalanced (Teaser Mix)

Fouk are back on Heist. Their new Truffles EP is packed with swinging goodness and comes with a jazzy Hugo LX remix.

After a busy period last year, Fouk have taken the time to experiment in their studio, focusing on expanding their sound and releasing only a handful of tunes. Their ‘Mating Call’ EP on their own label Outplay saw them explore the deeper side of things, while remixes for artists like Joey Negro on his own Z Records alongside Ron Trent saw them show off their production skills with a superb hi tech funk track.

On the flip, ‘Need my Space’ sounds like something you’d hear if Pépé Bradock and Charles Webster would get together in the studio: dreamy synth lines, lovely textures and weird electronics over an ever so sexy bassline.

The remix on this EP comes from Parisian artist Hugo LX, whose love for soulful electronic music and jazz are perfectly presented in his remix of ‘I’ll be down’. His version is filled with shimmering leads, synth hits and some lovely horns for good measure. For us, this is a case of jazzy deep house at its best.
