The city was glimmering beneath the hazy glow of the evening sun. Pink and orange illuminated the Dallas skyline as people began to take to the streets for the Friday night fiasco. They would soon dance beneath the disco lights and the sound of trumpets. This was decades ago, when men and women had sophisticated class and dressed in the finest attire. 

This was all but a dream, a distant memory of an age and time very much in the past. 

Shit and Shine feature as part of a new compilation forthcoming on Lost Soul Enterprises. They bring the heat alongside an array of talent in the form of J Tijn, Vapauteen, Jared Wilson and many more.

We Are What You Think We Are

PREMIERE: Shit and Shine - Dallas Skyline [Lost Soul Enterprises]

The breeze blew against his face and rattled against his goggles as he flew prominently down the mountain face. The jump had been no easy feat and had left him shaken for many sleepless nights. Now, finally, he was flying amongst the birds and the clouds as the blue sky virtually blinded his line of sight. All else was forgotten and he felt more alive than ever before. 

This was what it was like to soar. 

Charlie Smooth kickstarts a new record label in the form of Smooth Operators as he delivers some gorgeous edits on a new EP. The release is forthcoming later this month.

PREMIERE: Charlie Smooth - I'm Alive [Smooth Operators]

The group was a tight knit collective, a merry band of brothers. Togetherness was everything to the gang, nestled within the woods they marched prominently amongst the golden, crispy leaves. The autumn evening was surprisingly warm and the trees cast long shadows outwards over the lakeside. Sparking the fire they grouped together by the water and watched as the stars appeared one by one, speckled across the midnight twilight. It was beautiful. 

Violet has launched a new label in the form of Naive. It follows on from an array of releases on the likes of One Eyed Jacks, Snuff Trax and Cómeme.

Togetherness EP

PREMIERE: Violet - Togetherness (Bleid Remix)[Naive]

The city was a hotbed of creativity and hypnotic colour. People danced triumphantly at the turn of the century, all evil was cast aside and happiness would conquer one and all... but only for the weekend. In the streets bright outfits were out proudly upon display for all of the world to see. Blistering shades of yellow, red, green, blue and beyond were masquerading for as far as the naked eye could see. The roar of trumpets filled the air as the horns began to play.

Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Contonou are remixed on a new EP as Bosq reimagines a number of their tracks as part of a special edits package on SOL Power Sound.

Bosq Meets Poly Rythmo Uptown

PREMIERE: Orchestre Poly Rythmo de Contonou - Ne Te Fache Pas (Bosq's Special Disco Mix)[SOL]

The trigger was poised with delicate precision. She squeezed it tightly making sure that her arm dare not twitch. Looking down from her sniper's post she considered the possibility that what she might be doing was wrong but there was little time for such carelessness. This was all a matter of concentration beyond morality, action over consequence, rebellion over enforcement. She watched as the sun went down in the distance and as the city sprung to life. The time was now. 

O.utlier is the second artist to release on a new sub-label of Secretsundaze. SZE Records provides an outlet for slightly more abstract sounds than what might stereotypically appear on the label and is run by Luke Hopper.

PREMIERE: O.utlier - Rhodesamp (Whacked Out Revamp)[SZE Records]

The performer moved quickly across the sand as a crowd of onlookers had gathered with watchful intent. She was juggling with delicate skill as the sticks flipped and spun ablaze in the sky before her. She stared upwards towards the heavens, never once looking down for risk of dropping her tools. The sand sunk beneath her feet as she danced in the glow of the moonlight, it was after midnight yet still the heat beamed down amidst the tropical climate. She was at one with her instruments, the dance was well and truly within. 

Tolga Fidan returns to Vakant with a new EP packed with driven energy and a distinctive identity. The release also features a suitably abstract remix from Convextion, a masterpiece in its own right.

PREMIERE: Tolga Fidan - Hord (Convextion Remix)[Vakant]

[Premiere] Joyce Muniz - Mushroom Disco

Opening with the characteristically tough percussion, 'Bel Air' unfolds with eerie synth pans, an infectious swinging melody and diva vocal chops.
