Honey Soundsystem is pleased to release 'Cosmologist', the latest offering from our Resident DJ: Robert Yang aka Bézier. A multi-instrumentalist, Robert was trained in saxophone starting at age 10, before moving onto a Fender Telecaster after high school. After being exposed to Southern California rave culture in the late 90s, he moved onto DJing and collecting records. By the time he planted his roots in San Francisco in 2005, Robert had built an impressive analog synth-based studio, which also serves as the creative hub for his riveting live performances.

'Cosmologist' explores Robert’s personal universe with three tracks that connect his varied musical lineages. "Cosmos", a celebration of the late 80s/early 90s KIIS FM universe, is built around an infectious freestyle hook that morphs into a seven minute tour of intersecting styles. "Ether" begins as gothic night-driving electro, but breaks into fantasy-scapes inspired by Italo and 1980s Japanese anime theme songs. The final track, "d. Quelle", clocks in at over 11 minutes, incorporating bebop jazz solos drawn from his early exposure to improvisation techniques by Charlie Parker, Cannonball Adderley, and Stan Getz. All songs have been mixed by Mark Pistel (Meat Beat Manifesto, Consolidated) at Room 5, San Francisco and EQed for vinyl by George Horn at Fantasy Studios.

Never underestimate the power of a good bassline. Mark du Mosch certainly doesn’t. This veteran from the harbor city of Rotterdam let’s his vicious bass line creep up on you from behind on 202 AC Ra. A dark and jacking club belter with clear Chicago roots. The five track EP The Heavens may be his debut on SoHaSo, Du Mosch has been releasing music for over fourteen years on a variety of respected underground labels, such as Moustache, Dekmantel and Royal Oak.

His versatile style draws on sounds that evoke strong mental imagery and a sense of eternity, which clearly shows on the introspective Resonance Delay (She) on the B-side. In which a melancholic melody is supported by muffled slow motion beats.

The beautiful artwork on The Heavens EP is by Joost Stokhof, an Amsterdam based graphic designer who is known for his love for detail. Which makes him perfectly suited for Du Mosch’ subtle and well crafted dance tunes.

In a normal world you would open your EP with the title track. Du Mosch chooses to close with it. The Heavens stays true to it’s name. A harp like melody that washes ashore as foam from a greyblue Northsea that calmed down after the storm. Heaven indeed.

With the first release of OPW001, we are proud to uncover the memoir of Hong Kong based French producer -  Romain Fx. An outstanding musician that quite a few years ago planted a seed that through the years of event experiments and music excavations flourished into the “Kimokeye EP” influenced by the grooves of African melodies, raw vocal snippets with a final touch of uplifting variety of FM synths. With a spicy addition of a darker progressive side to the title track, remixed by Jack Priest.

2020 will be remembered as the year that the entire world was on lockdown, with almost the whole population locked up in their houses, producers have seen in their studios the best way to escape this tragic situation. MPC’s, Drum Machines and Synthesizers have been (and still are) like time machines that along with their creativity have built new dimensions far away from the currently reality and where they have found their own personal freedom.
MM Discos introducing you this compilation where most of the tracks were created during this hard times of Covid-19, and that joins homies and forthcoming featured artists to the label along with some well respected artists from the downbeat-balearica scene. An amazing trip to a “not-forbidden” paradise created from the home studio.
Starting with a small ambient appetizer signed by “Modern Obscure Music” capo Pedro Vian, the album dares to explore different styles, turning more tropical with the works from Rompante and Document Swell to something more floor oriented with the tracks from LuKKas and the one from Da Silva, one of the thinking heads of MM Discos.
Barcelona’s based producer Mateis E. Aquir does his thing producing something more organic and selvatic while “Is it Balearic?” recording commanders Coyote put the album in a Leftfield-Dub-Rastafari mood. Tribal italian maestro Josè Manuel does what he knows best and signs a very personal, ethnic and dreamlike work.
On the other hand, Portuguese producer Jepe imprints a magical and dreamy touch in the compilation followed by the laid back style from greek balearica devotes Bonnie & Klein that will bring us straight to the Cayman Islands, and last but not least, this amazing Neo-Funky styled cut from Russian’s hero Volta Cab.

PREMIERE #1116 | Volta Cab - Ramatuelle Tahiti [MMDiscos] 2020

The air hung thick, laced with the smell of crumbling brick and hot sticky bodies. As the smoke ebbed and flowed through the crowd, all shapes became lost in the mist, only the odd flailing limb appearing from the darkness. The room was packed with barely any room to move, but dancers tried their best, clinging to the spaces they'd found on the dance floor. Here they'd remain until the lights came on and they were ushered out in to the cold morning...


Following the release of his Music Not Safari album on Skint Records earlier this year, DFA and Phantasy producer The Emperor Machine serves up one last batch of alternative versions, this time of the title track. Taking the same form as the previous singles, the release includes an Extended Mix, Version 54 and Warehouse Jam, all of which showcase his ability to take the same track into different unique and compelling directions.

PREMIERE: The Emperor Machine - Moscow Not Safari (Warehouse Jam) [Skint Records]

The third and final package of remixes of Yuksek’s recent ’Nosso Ritmo’ LP on Partyfine arrives with fantastic interpretations from the likes of Rubin Steiner, JKRIV, CLAAP and Mark Lower and more.

Yuksek’s fourth album was another widescreen, multi-genre offering that has already given rise to two great packages including tracks by Kraak & Smaak, BOSQ, Mighty Mouse and Chloé. Now veteran French radio host, bassist Platinum Records associate Rubin Steiner kicks off this last instalment with his super smooth version of ‘Hashram Peplum.’ It’s deep, far sighted and a gentle groove with lush sax drifting up top amongst cosmic melodies.

Label regular and revered melodic maestro You Man flips ‘Cadenza’ into a warm, colourful house track with catchy riffs and long legged drums, while Brooklyn-based artist, multi-instrumentalist and co-head of Razor-N-Tape Records JKRIV brings hip swinging disco bliss to his perfectly loose, organic take on ‘The Only Reason.’ Two more
French legends in The Mekanism and Franck Roger then bring their many years of know how to a vital version of ‘Do Beljo’ that brims with golden chords, old school disco house energy and a certain sense of spiritualism that warms the soul.

Another Partyfine regular is CLAAP!, the one-of-a-kind Frenchman supported by artists such as Todd Edwards, Jenifer Cardini and Erol Alkan. His expansive remix of ‘Bateu’ has intoxicating leads, rugged arps and a tripped out sense of late night colour that is superbly alluring. Closing out this connoisseur EP is French deep house don
Mark Lower who has released on labels like Nurvous. His track has lush jumbled claps, hits, toms and kicks with astral synths, gooey funk bass and a vocal that melts the heart.

This is another essential collection of varied and authentic reworks of Yuksek’s outstanding originals.

Nosso Ritmo - Part 3

PRÉMIÈRE: Yuksek - Hashram Peplum (Rubin Steiner Remix) [Partyfine]

“Once upon a time, long ago, there lived at Treva, a wonderful old lady deeply skilled in necromancy. Her charms, spells, and dark incantations made her the terror of the neighbourhood.
Arriving at the church stile, they used to rest the corpse, and there stood the hare, which, as soon as the clergyman began, "I am the resurrection and the life," uttered a diabolical howl then the corpse would change into a black, unshaped creature, and disappeared.”

Starting off the EP is RFX, with a groovy mystical disco pearl of the faraway desert.
Second, we have a rework from Native Red of the infamous track that you know to sing but probably don’t remember where you heard it.
For the second edit from Native Red, we have a dark cinematic banger for some spooky vibe.
And last but not least, a very rare psychedelic gem RFX has dug up which closes the EP in with a rite of passage.

Mihihihi!
