PREMIERE: Daniela La Luz – When You Go All In And Wait [Uncanny Valley]

City Fly return for their 15th release, backed by serious muscle in the form of NY*AK, and fellow contributors Ian Blevins and Mark Hand, who make up the stomping and spectacular Afghan Jams EP. Starting strong is ‘Return’, with a relentless dub techno energy, graced later by soft vocals and euphoric violin strings making for an epic dancefloor anthem. ‘Slick’, with Mark Hand, veers off into a loose, crackly acid trip. It’s followed by ‘Troia’, rounding off side A with an all-out party of flutes and keys over one infectious ecosystem of drums. Then, on side B, ‘We Both Know’ comes through; NY*AK’s eye-catching, sample-heavy jam with Ian Blevins with an eerie bassline. And the EP concludes with title track ‘Afghan Jam’, featuring Mark Hand - a special groove captured mid-session. Something a house head can easily get lost in.

Fragile X is the new collaborative guise of Inga Schunn and Dylan Chase, the latter has been releasing material as Caffeine Worldwide over the past few years. Here with the ‘Lifetime’ EP the pair inaugurate their new project, the collection of tracks was recorded over four days in Mexico City in early 2019. Schunn provided vocals while Chase focused on the mechanical aspects. It was mixed by Chase in Mexico City in 2020, while he was sick with Covid-19. We don’t know if there will be another record. A lot is uncertain these days. This EP marks the third vinyl release by Bouquet, a label and party series based in Chase’s hometown of San Diego.
Title-cut ‘Lifetime’ leads the release with garage tinged off-kilter drums, swirling atmospherics, snaking sub bass grooves and resonant synth melodies all dynamically
 underneath Schunn’s hypnotic vocal stylings. ‘Prix’ follows and employs a similarly organic rhythmic feel while stirring in airy string melodies, plucked strings and an amalgamation of fluttering woodwind and acid synths throughout.
‘Karaoke Gurl’ kicks off the flip side of the EP, edging into electronica realms with a bumpy 303 bass hook and dreamy synth chimes while once again welcoming Inga’s silvery vocal contributions. The ‘Fragile X’ theme then concludes the project on a cinematic tip, nodding towards an early 2000’s IDM aesthetic with broken drums, textural synths and organ melodies.

PREMIERE : Fragile X - Karaoke Gurl

In September 2018, Chat Noir Distribution released the first volume
of its House de France compilation. This release consisted of 21 tracks : 13 already released on different French labels and 8 exclusive titles from artists such as Bellaire, Groove Boys Project, Alva, Too Many Cars, Avorton, OHES, Matthieu Faubourg or Bwi-Bwi. This first volume was a big success with over 2,000,000 streams, 1,600 titles sold
digitally and more than 300 vinyls.
Since then, the French scene kept developping & reinventing itself and new faces have emerged within this artistic bubbling. Career development of some artists presented on the first volume leads us to believe that this project makes more sense than ever. It is a panorama of the parties involved within the new French scene.
Chat Noir Rec. is therefore very proud to announce the forthcoming release of the second volume of this compilation. The main goal remains the same (to highligh the new french scene) but the shape of it changes somewhat. This new project will include 16 exclusive titles in digital and will be accompanied by the release of a «Vinyl Sampler» which will include 6 titles from the digital version. Tracklisting is inspired by the mixed compilations from the 90’s: it is built like a DJ set with an evolution and coherent sequences between the tracks. We will use a promo mix which will feature the initial tracklisting with the mixed titles in order to promote the release.
The project aims to show the diversity of the new French house scene by highlighting different sub-genres of this movement: ambient, deephouse, tech-house, acid, minimal, italodisco, electrofunk… The artists present on this compilation represent the future of our scene and we are very proud to push them forward.

PREMIERE : Dub Striker - VV Cephei

A ten-course meal was awaiting the guests who huddled around a dimly lit wooden table wedged in the corner of the restaurant. As they exchanged pleasantries and drank wine they were slowly overcome by the implacable avalanche of taste: each ingredient dissected and singled out, each recipe deconstructed and elevated, creating newly discovered flavours. Each new dish quashed its predecessor with its soaring levels of palatable intricacy, leaving the guests' taste buds eagerly awaiting what lay in store next.

VONDA7, founder of Berlin-based art | werk has delivered her latest single "Change of Heart", accompanied by remixes by her jam buddies Danny Goliger and Byron The Aquarius. Today we share Byron The Aquarius' version; a sunkissed rework that matches VONDA7's dreamy far out vocals with weightless keyboard stabs and tripped out breaks.

Following on from last year's debut LP 'Exotic Language' Joe Morris assembles a killer line up of diverse producers for the remix package 'Exotic Remixes'.
Gallo turns the opener 'Firefly Island' into a sunset, acid soaked trance out. Pacific Coliseum gently uplifts the cerebral 'Celestial Plantation' with some fine live guitar work. On 'Echo Station' Coyote turn up the dubwise energy, while James Bright brings his super polished modern balearica sound to 'Acid Safari'. Native Cruise infuses crunchy house drums with the piano hook on 'Perfume' and Manuel Darquart get Technique-era New Order with 'A Dance With Jupiter'. With 'Dream Clouds' Newborn Jr brings the house down with an irresistible guitar hook and italo arps; Bliss Inc fuses his modern progressive style to 'Spirit Walker' while Man Power closes the proceedings with a tribal heavy house workout on 'Acid Safari.

Real J is back, but not like you’ve heard him before. His new mini-album will be released on Waxtefacts, a label he runs with his close friends.

Real J approached "The Memory Screen" LP with a distinct frame of reference— distorted sonic memories of his early childhood. The result is a collection of atmospheric cuts with sprinkles of sunshine and expert transitions between heavy drums and haunting industrial flourishes.

The LP features four solo tracks, as well as collaborations with newcomer Kerstone and heavyweight groove maestro Glenn Astro. Each track is unique in terms of groove and mood, but the rich distorted textures and warmth remain throughout. This mini-album is a cohesive work from start to finish. If you only want a small taste before embarking, then A1 – Sweet Anxiety, and B1 – Transmission 7 (in collaboration with Glenn Astro) are the places to start.
Sweet Anxiety (A1) is driven by an 808-style kick-drum and distorted clap. The groove is courtesy of intricate, skippy hi-hat patterns, which constantly develop and grow throughout, while a growling bassline and a spaced-out synth line arrive to provide further depth. The variation means upon every listen there will be new details that emerge.

Transmission 7 (B1) starts steady, with a filtered pad and keys that slowly build throughout. More intricate and seemingly randomized hi-hats keep this one ticking along. Another distorted kick-drum fills out the bottom of the track. Layers of percussive elements provide incredible melody lines in the back-half of the track. This is not a typical Glenn Astro track, nor is it a typical Real J one, for that matter.

Real J’s production has clearly evolved since his last release on Wolf Music back in 2017. This is an extremely unique LP that he clearly poured his all into. We recommend you grab it before it sells out.

John “Cyclonix” Wilcox is the original raver, the sort of person who knows the roots of his music inside out. He can craft an electronic music sculpture that echoes both the classic dance sound of the UK (bass heavy, chord based, break sampling and crisp), and the purest Chicago and Detroit house and techno influences. Some of the highlights on his career include releasing on cult labels like Tusk Wax, Smuggler’s Inn, Bristol’s Boogie Café and Phuture Shock Musik or contemporary dance floor soul staple Broadcite among other highly recommended projects.

“Efeito Borboleta” is his take on the Percebes sound and it features three incredible originals and a home-made remix by girl of the moment Sheri Vari.

It kicks off with “Butterfly Effect”: a deep stomper that could well have been released on Underground Quality or Sistrum. It is space and emotion, bubbling with jungle breaks and 909 power, channeled through the medium of deep, touching house music.

“Gift of a Patient Soul” is a slower burner, a crunchy jazzy mid-tempo acid funker - perfect to get that foot tap on. The remix by Sheri Vari flips it into a psychedelic deep trip, tapping into that odd parallel world where Rick Wade did a track with Maurice Fulton.

“Warm as Hoth” closes the EP. A funky live bass is intertwined by dreamy chords and chaotic melodies, made of stuttering vocal samples. The kind of thing you’d expect if Todd Edwards did a track with Marc Mac: classic UK garage with a jazz-funk vibe and a Detroit Techno feel. Hard to define, but very easy to listen to and play out.

PREMIERE: Cyclonix - Butterfly Effect
