Exclusive: Tee Mango - Last Dance

UK-music ambassador Tee Mango delivers his altogether fourth EP, Last Dance, on Will Saul's Aus Music and delves into new territory on the EP as he lends his vocals to each of the three tracks. Combined with the rather deep and melodic vibe T's vocals add an irresistable note to each of the cuts – a beautiful melancholy that one is dying to listen to over and over again. The Millionhands label head provides a bass line in the beat of a heart for the EP opener and name giving track Last Dance. Luring the listener into its vibe with an almost two minute built-up before his echoing vocals set in and please the pads to then softly and reaptingly ask 'Will you stay for one more dance, my love? Will you stay with me?“, it's difficult to deny the wish. However, with vocals and a synth-line as sweet as this it's impossible to give the track a wide berth. 

Tee Mango's EP Last Dance will be released on Aus Music soon.

Retro electronics maestro @lucavera teams up with fellow Italian musical duo Barbara Broadcast for @finecoincidence's 10th release, the “What U Feel” EP. The superb track “What U Feel” is a deep and driving 80s inflected jam – house tempo with hints of funk, Moroder-ised disco and yacht rock. Enjoy the ride.

Finally breaking a two year hiatus, the US and French duo are preparing to unleash a three-track EP on Culprit called 'You Eat, You Want'. The collection's lead track is 'Different Place', a space-age track that billows back and forth between a surprisingly heavy bass line and feathery synth chirps, maintaining the duo's signature "rich synth, pop-infused" sound.
The entire EP is out July 3 on Culprit.

Get ready for some Ham & Eggs coming at ya! Miami label @nightyoung have snagged the next EP by @felipe-gordon and he's bringing his Moog. Some key quotes from Richard Pryor overlay an arsenal of synths in the shape of sustained pads, LFO'd chords and jazzy modulated leads expertly finessed by pal @mangabey-1. Not forgetting the swung-to-death drums Felipe likes to throw down and you got yourself a sparkling beast right here.

FF004 | Magic Soul Orchestra | Ultra Lights | Out 08.10.2018

1 Behind the Plexi
2 Tonite Is the Nite
3 Motionless
4 The Head
5 Ultra Lights
6 Sugar Jungle
7 How Much Are We?

This album was one of many unfinished, unreleased or simply forgotten projects that we discovered, while having a look in Alex Krugers’ archives. We found various folders full of work in progress as well as ‘almost finished’ space disco and easy listening material of Alex teaming up with his old buddy Per Fourier, known to some from Alex's earlier work as Dub Taylor.

These recordings were made during summer 2004 and spring 2005 in Berlin, most of the work never saw the light or better, the ear in the end. There was simply not enough time to finish it and Per had to leave Berlin for work at some point. However, two out of these seven songs have been released. There was a small amount of a 12” called MSO ’Jam 2006 Ep’ out on Komfort Music, which included early versions of ‘Motionless’ and ‘The Head’ the same year the Ep title suggests.

On the vocal side ‘Behind The Plexi’, ’Tonite Is The Nite’, ‘Motionless’ and ‘Ultra Lights’ are a wild melange of both Alex and Pers musical history, including early 80s Space Disco and New Wave, Vocal Pop and Synth Pop, all in classic extended, night club friendly arrangements while ’Sugar Jungle’ has more of a 70’s-Disco-Appeal, a soulful and very stripped down Lonnie Liston Smith married to…say, a very stomping Gene Page. Per played the Bass Guitars and did the Singing while Alex was dealing with Guitars, Vocoders, Drums, Samples and Synths. The other two are Instrumental works, ‘How Much Are We?’ would be best described as a spooky late 80s-influenced Dub Version of a forgotten Disco song with a quarter shot of (without wanting to compare) Czukay, Wobble & Liebezeit. It’s pretty cool & minimal too. The only ‘downbeat’ tune, ’The Head’ introduces a different shade, highlighting on how much fun Alex and Per had in the studio bending the samples that led to this result.
 
As mentioned, when we discovered these songs in the depths of an old hard drive some were not yet finished and the overall sound quality was far from being perfect, these were just recordings with half-baked arrangements. We decided to let Alex’s long time compagnon Jan Gabler look over the original parts, finish what’s to be finished, delete what’s to be deleted and add what needs to be added to make these as best sounding and best arranged as he could without changing the initial idea and flow of the work.
 
The result, we feel is surprisingly timeless and beautiful and we hope you like it as much as we do. Mastered by Salz Mastering.  Photography by Christophe Mauberqué - www.christophemauberque.com

London powerhouse Slothboogie is gearing up to drop the fourth installment in their SBEDITZ series, this time with an EP of slammers from international man of mystery, Joe Cleen. This time around, the Berlin based producer has delivered four raw and ready cuts in various styles. We’ve got serious disco heat (one soaked in 80’s nightclub neon), a glorious piano jam laced with dubbed out gospel vocals, shuffling drum machine hats and a pimped out G-Funk synth, and ‘​The Fun Part​’, a bubblin’ bass funk groover filled with crisp percussion and jazzy Rhodes.

‘Give You All I Got’ is the perfect opening track for an amazingly cohesive project, a certified disco monster with infectious brass, erotic vocals and huge space toms reworked to launch any dancefloor into the stratosphere! Steadily swung percussion rides nicely in front of a fat bottomed bassline, while Joe takes us to church with a sensual vocal that glides smoothly over the instrumental. ‘Give You All I Got’ keeps the energy contained, and it moves through four minutes with a graceful swagger that’ll surely capture the attention of eager dancers. Honestly, I just watched the new Quincy Jones documentary on Netflix and this EP sounds like something he’d like. That’s saying a lot.

Slothboogie SBEDITZ004 will be available on October 26th, and you’d be wise to set an alert because the project is limited to 500 copies. This is a vinyl only release, so if you don’t spin records, now is the time to practice (it’s great fun, trust me). You’d be dumb not to have this one in your bag, so do your best to be one of 500.

PREMIERE: Joe Cleen - Give You All I Got

The police station was not the type of place for an ego or arrogance. It was a place in which to act natural, to be cool and made up - pristine, polished and clean.... whatever that means. People came and went as he sat waiting upon the stiff metal framed chair which groaned beneath his eager weight. It was as if they had chosen to make it as uncomfortable as possible, not even a victim of criminal activity would be granted comfort in the warmth of an armchair. It was the job of the authority to simply remind anyone who took foot in that space that they were the boss and you didn't want to ever end up back here again. 

Saine is set to release a four track EP on the illustrious Delusions Of Grandeur, a favourite amidst house music heads and those who love to dance. This one has a sweet groove with a deep moving bassline.
