PREMIERE: Native Cruise - Japanese Fantasy Taxi [Fruit Merchant]

The hotel was busy with customers and guests, it was a friday night after all and it would be expected to be as such. It was the first time that they had ever been invited into such a fine establishment, had they ever thought that they might have ended up here? The marble floor glimmered under the glow of electric lights and small groups of people held sophisticated conversations in elegant hallways. It was packed to the rafters with the other side of life and yet they still lived on the fringes of the world left outside. 

Efficient Space are set to continue their fine form as the label prepares to release a compilation of oddball dance cuts lost to the depths of obscurity and rescued. It's bloody brilliant.

3AM Spares: Compiled by Andras and Instant Peterson

PREMIERE: Sobriquet - Is This Your First Time (Artificial Remix)[Efficient Space]

Remix extravaganza ahead! What started as an attempt to transport Feater’s brillant outsider pop „Time Millionaire“ (taken from the Socialo Blanco album) onto a dance floor with one or two remixes, ended up as a feast served on three different platters with some heavy hitters. First up, Pépé Bradock and Ricardo Villalobos are crossing their beams. Spread over two 12“s, the masters of idiosyncrasies and splendid aural design, Bradock and Villalobos treat the voice of Vilja Larjosto with love and care and bring it into their respective universe during peak time: vocals, dubs, acapellas and bonus bits included. Expertly, tricky and inventive.
	Remix EP no. 3 merges different trajectories of UK dance music traditions (or Ireland for that matter). Man of the moment Krystal Klear takes the material down to love town: the sound of 1980s Island records meets NYC boogie and UK street soul sounds. Hessle Audio’s Pangaea follows the other path: uptempo bass fun with a driving dub and an instrumental pass. Last but not least, Feater & Sam Irl themselves deliver a blissed out dub of the original. Oh, and if you have enough time, flip over to the 10“ with an Aba Shanti-I approved UK reggae and lovers rock take on it by Blood Shanti.

After debuting on YAM's 'Youandmemusic Vol 2.' compilation only last year, after an EP release to on Hidden Sphere's Fruit Merchant and the launch of the No Bad Days tape series the UK based producer https://soundcloud.com/nativecruise comes back with a lushy 4 tracks 12” on the Italian young label https://soundcloud.com/paesaggirecords . The energy rises towards the title track "Desert Theory", a marching rhythm characterised by chugging wooden drums and ﬂoaty pan ﬂutes.

Tee Mango joins the Delusions of Grandeur fold for his ﬁrst full EP release. He is someone who has always carved his own path with attention to detail and aesthetics seemingly as important as the music, Tom has been a good example of how to make the DIY approach work for yourself since his ﬁrst vinyl output back in 2012. Millionhands and Millionhands Black have seen the majority of his original material and edits but we’ve also seen him appearing on Royal Oak, Aus and Local Talk and future output planned for Permanent Vacation and his own new label SUPERUNKNOWN.

Opening track and our premiere today, Cityspell, goes for the jugular with a pulsing 16th-note bassline sitting centre stage while huge washes of deep pads layer up around it. Sirens and horn stabs join the scene adding increasing energy, making this one of those tracks that nails the balance between hypnotic deepness and hyped up intensity perfectly for the danceﬂoor. Flipping over we have Do U Luv Me? which kicks off with a simple one-note Moog bassline and syndrum white noise snares before some crazy, off-kilter cross-rhythm synth stabs join the party; cue heads running to the booth asking wtf?! Just the kind of wonky, outerspace sh*t that we’ve come to love and expect from masters such as Maurice Fulton or Recloose.

Finally Tee Mango closes off with another absolutely killer cut featuring live-sounding drums calling ‘Paperclip People’s Throw’ to mind with those rasping open hi hats and rolling two beat bassline. A tripped-out female vocal sample and extra acid-esque synth line add to the frenetic atmosphere but melodic arpeggiating chimes ensure things remain deep and musical. A really strong three tracker we’re sure you’ll agree. Give them a spin out and share the love in your charts and mixes!
