Paris is burning! And Eliott Litrowski lit the match with his latest EP for OOSSHA. The producer from France once saw the light in the famous Rex club in Paris but has a profound love for Dutch underground dance music. He previously released singles on Moustache and Bordello a Parigi and now debuts on Utrecht based SoHaSo sublabel OOSSHA.

On his Long Story Short EP, Litrowski combines the boldness of Dutch west coast electro with the flair and finesse of French techno, while throwing in a hint of sweet flavoured Italo vibes. A good example is Blind Pilot, which is both frivolous and funky.

Or jump the needle to Cereal Funk, where the dry hi-hats and wild arpeggio’s give more than a nod to Dopplereffekt, while staying in fourth gear. No wonder the track gets a remix treatment by Ed DMX, who turns Cereal Funk into a proper electro monster without losing the core futuristic elements. Long story short, Litrowski’s music is both playful, quirky and tailor made for clubs.

Feelings Worldwide | FLING007: Inner Zone - Carpet Shark EP (featuring D. Tiffany remix)

Time is a funny thing; some wish it away while others are desperate for more. When we’re young you want to fast forward your life so we can be adults and when we’re old we yearn for our youth. Being present in the moment and enjoying every minute is difficult but it’s the only way time will remain on our side - the only way we can make time work for us and not against us.

Seoul-based duo Two Tone Shape return to Honey Badger Records for their second EP, following 2020's Fantastic Machines. Made up of long-standing house producer Wooseok Choi and Minseop Lee, who's output revolves around UK Bass and French electronic music, when the pair come together they pair their shared love of Detroit House and UK electronics - influences that are ever-present on their sophomore release Every Minute. Choi is in charge of the synthesizers while Lee takes care of the drum machines, and the results are a batch of five hypnotic house tracks full of momentum and force.

Especial is delighted to welcome Odopt back to the label, this time teaming up with Sano for a club heavy global excursion and the vocal deep dive of Picha. A meeting of friends and collaborators across continents and years, finally presented in vocal and instrumental, as well the welcome return of label stalwart Jamie Paton with additional remix and dub to bite.

Long-time fans of Sebastian Hoyos aka Sano’s productions, seeing him release for Matias Aguayo’s Comeme and Munich’s Public Possession, Especial jumped at the chance to present Odopt’s reworkings of Sano’s oeuvre, taking vocalist’s Lolito
night-time exoticisms and offering a red lit basement, dark room anthem.

As with all good things, time let the music ferment. The 2016 outline became a 2019 demo, first presented to the label, and emphatically embraced. With Sano returning from Barcelona to his native Columbia, replacing the world of club culture with horticulture, Odopt found their new Paris base led them to finally hit the pocket, the tribal percussion propelled by the razor-sharp snare and perfectly, more cowbell.

Who better then to request remixes than the origin of Especial, it’s first artist, mainstay mixer and designer of each artwork since the label’s birth in late 2013, Jamie Paton. Having gone on to release for label peers and inspirations, ESP Institute and Multi Culti, this is a welcome return. Paton’s trademark deep dubwise is ever present, as is the exemplary programming, but now the twist of breaks in Remix form gives this EP widescreen dynamics.

The sound system stretching Dub mix rounds off, the vocals pulled back, the wobble and trembling bass, again highlight Especial’s mission, club music for the head and feet, mixing new wave with neu rave, beats with breaks, looking back but always, always moving forwards.
