<b>DB-106 Various Artists - dirtybird BBQ</b>
 
Available on Beatport: http://j.mp/1c4zZcc
Available on iTunes: http://smarturl.it/dirtybirdBBQ
Vinyl Sampler + CD: http://j.mp/dirtybirdmerch

The new dirtybird compilation is loaded with 11 great tunes I have been collecting for over 6 months. Most notably, the Shiba San "OKAY" record has absolutely been destroying every dance floor known to man. We have lots of big birds like Justin Martin, Catz ‘N Dogz & Justin Jay on this, plus a ton of great newcomers and friends making appearances.

The dirtybird BBQ was founded as a small get together in Golden Gate Park thirteen years ago. We've had the same core line-ups and even the same chef, Grillson, since the beginning.  But three years ago, the free party in the park got too big and our permit was pulled.  The city of San Francisco could no longer handle the amount of people showing up to the event.  

Ever since then we have been trying to think of way to bring back the vibe of the BBQ park party. This year we finally put together a team that is able to take the BBQ party all across North America and Europe. We will be starting in Miami and ending in San Francisco so make sure to come grill and chill with us sometime this year. This compilation is a celebration of the O.G. dirtybird BBQ vibe.   I hope you enjoy the music.   

Love,
VonStroke

DB-107 Catz 'n Dogz - Booty Comes First / Bones Shakin'

Available on Beatport: http://bit.ly/1ibciNe

We’ve always thought Catz ‘n Dogz are well mannered gentlemen. Here they prove it with their ghetto-minded twist on the most important gesture a man can make… Ladies first.

“Booty Comes First” opens with a mid ‘90s arpeggiated synth hook that pumps with a crisp sense of innocence. This purity is soon corrupted by subtle orgasm moans, gangster vocal loops and a twisted melting trumpet horn blast. Switched up with classic garagey off-beat snares, it carries all the classic Catz ‘n Dogz motifs while remaining fresh, exciting and seriously next level.

Unlike the A-side, there are no airs and graces about “Bones Shakin.’” A swinging, butt-busting groove, this is quintessential dirtybird thanks to its jacking dynamic, wretched robo-vocals and head-turning noises and FX.

This follows Catz ‘n Dogz powerhouse stomper “Drop It” on dirtybird’s lip-smacking BBQ compilation. Seven years deep and this Polish / Californian connection continues to spawn some of the most subversive, exciting house music on the planet. Long may this relationship last!

DB-110 - Justin Jay - Instincts

Available on The Birdhouse: June 6th
Beatport Exclusive: June 9th
iTunes + : June 24th


Deep bass rumbles in the dirtybird jungle as Justin Jay swathes into the fray once again with yet another impeccable collection of tracks. From acid house foundations to the sonic semiotics of Detroit - his ability to fuse a timeless, full-bodied dancefloor blend is remarkable. The Instincts EP follows up a notable appearance on VonStrokes Urban Animal remix album and continues Justin's steady rise as he finishes his college degree while also interning at the dirtybird head office!

"Analysis Paralysis" is a hypnosis homage: percussive elements strip and tease amid the mix while a sharp, sinewy synth line twists and turns itself inside out.  All the while a deep, almost dub-level bassline bubbles and bobs over the concrete kicks.  

"Denial," done in tandem with PILO, is a sludgier, loopy beast that struts with a bi-polar moodiness. Both reflective and growling the fine balance is kept in check between the purring metallic SFX and human vocal touches. 

 "Instincts" closes the show with bleepy gusto.  Instantly infectious thanks to its sturdy rhythmic clap, were soon dropped into a bold, bulbous bass riff that smoulders and shimmers with 808 finesse.

Timeless, full-bodied and unarguably funky: Justin Jay just keeps on delivering. Press play and get busy.

:::Lyrics:::

I didn't understand it at the time. I fail to achieve any degree of understanding in the ensuing years, which are three in number. I presume Herb means that inherently you cannot be commercial and artistic. You cannot be commercial and quality. You cannot be commercial concurrent with have a preoccupation with the level of storytelling that you want to achieve. And this I have to reject. I don't think calling something commercial tags it with a kind of an odious suggestion that it stinks, that it's something raunchy to be ashamed of. I don't think if you say commercial means to be publicly acceptable, what's wrong with that?
As long as you are not ashamed of anything you write if you're a writer, as long as you're not ashamed of anything you perform if you're an actor, and I'm not ashamed of anything.
This is the area I know. But I think innate in what Herb says is the suggestion made by many people that you can't have public acceptance and still be artistic. And, as I said, I have to reject that.

Just two bodies
Just two bodies

I've been so ready to dim my mind

Come over or not, I've 
Been so ready to dim my mind
Your body a drug, for mine
Two bodies moving in
Time and space to try and heal me
I know what I want, so come over and

CHORUS:

Hold me, I won't ask for anything more
I'm hurting, use now when I'm vulnerable
It helps me fake some love for a little while
I know what I want, so take advantage of me 

You're closed, you're a book. No lines
Can't read you if I try
And if that's the way you want it
That's fine I'll just close my eyes and
Try to ignore you, a free ride for you to

Just two bodies
Just two bodies

(CHORUS x3)

Two Bodies feat. Emma Louise (Extended Version)

My fourth Album "Abaporu" is out today! Born in 1974 in São Paulo Brazil, Gui Boratto, architect, musician, composer and producer initiated his career in the advertising sector in 1993. From 1994 until 2004 he performed various works for countless record labels both national and international, such as EMI, Virgin, Irma, BMG, Edel, Vidisco, ZYX, among others.

Gui Boratto is A&R and one of the owners, with his partner and brother Tchorta, of the Brazilian independent label, Megamusic, distributed by Trama. 
From 2005 he began to dedicate himself to his own productions and compositions, displaying to the public an authoral and more personalized side to his abilities. With countless licenses with respected European labels, such as Plastic City, Circle, Kompakt, Audiomatique, among others, Gui Boratto has managed to appear in the chart and playlists of people like Michael Mayer, Tiefschwarz, Steve Bug, Phonique, Martin Landsky, Hernan Cattaneo, among others. 

With respect for his talent growing in the world scene, Gui Boratto is a name to look out for on the Brazilian house, techno and minimal scene.¹

DB-116 // Kill Frenzy - Taylr Swft
Available on Beatport: http://j.mp/taylr_swft
Available on iTunes + Vinyl: November 18th

All Night Long Official Music Video: http://j.mp/1x2uxMB

He’s ridden us raw with his naked piano, made our booties clap so hard we’ve needed medical care, shown us his titsss and he’s even taken us to the mo… Wherever that is. Now Belgian wunderkind Kill Frenzy is about to flip the biggest switch of his career and whisk us away on his most exciting, most extensive dirtybird adventure yet: His long-awaited debut album Taylr Swft.

Famed for his ability to carve carnal drama from one smouldering 808 sermon and a sleazy panty-dropping vocal loop, here we find Sebastian Vanschoonbeek developing his uncompromising, ghetto-bound repertoire with serious maturity, depth and class. Building on his well-established bass-laced bedrock, each of these cuts flex with dynamics that will find favour with all house and techno connoisseurs and do so with complete consistency as a whole body of work… hell, they work so well dirtybird bossman VonStroke is almost reluctant to release them.

"I'm almost sad to start sharing the new Kill Frenzy album with everyone else because it has been my secret weapon all summer.  At one point I was playing seven tracks from the album in the same set, it was almost embarrassing. I'm very fickle about choosing what I play and this album is amazing."

Proof of Kill Frenzy’s next-levelism is evident in every single direction; the cavernous thundering march of "All Night Long”, the bouncy techno fluctuations of “Inflation”, the sultry deep house dish “XXX”, the sheer tech tenacity and roof-burning electro-fication of “Lava”, the delicate jazz keys and purring sub bass of “So Fine”… The list goes on.

Press play, then press it again for good measure: debut albums often dangerously dice with displays of inconsistent dexterity, but with Taylr Swft Kill Frenzy has carefully created a collection that completely makes sense of his past work while staring guilefully into an exciting future. A bona fide dirtybird document that confirms Kill Frenzy’s position as one of electronic music’s boldest creators, Taylr Swft is everything you could possibly want from a modern day album: dancefloor gold, depth, range and an unswerving narrative. Get to know.

Kill Frenzy - All Night Long

Building around a set of piano chords, the idea of this track was more about making a space than a clever hook. I got to use a lot of different sampling techniques aswell as doing some outdoor recording of ambience. It's an understated track, so feel free to fill in the missing blanks...

◈ Make sure to catch up on our whole White label Series here: soundcloud.com/soulection/sets/soulection-white-label-series

It's been a while since we've put out some music huh? Well we apologize for that. We've been growing at such a fast rate and we had to put our focus on to other avenues within Soulection to make this the best platform possible for many years to come. 

With that said, we are sooooo excited to bring your attention to a new artist who you most likely have never heard of (that's about to change) from Wales, UK. We were put on to this talented individual by our friend @helios5th when we first traveled to London back in May. Something about PYRMD's sound just captured us instantly. It's very unique and his melodies just capture your mind like your favorite incense.

PYRMDPLAZA is currently attending the University of Wales and is studying 'Creative Sound and Music'. He uses Ableton but started off with FLStudio. PYRMD started making music about 6-7 years ago and created privately for many years until the beginning of this year when he realized that he wanted to showcase his music. He definitely made the right choice otherwise we wouldn't be here at this very moment. Goes to show you how important social media is and how simply hitting "upload" can change your whole life by connecting with the world. 

We hope you enjoy this White Label! Stay tuned for much more coming from the Soulection crew -- we have some major things planned for you as always. 

Share this.

Hayden James - Something About You

Every Sunday

New single SWT is a hypnotic slice of chunky house music with a euphoric breakdown ... 

A #1 Single on Juno on Pre-Release and available from all good download stores from 26th January 2015.

"In 2013 the artist formerly known as Elite Force - a trailblazing tech-funk pioneer through the 90's and 2000's - returned under his given name, Simon Shackleton, with a well received foray into Minimal and Tech House territory. Two years on and a string of releases later, he returns to StereoPhoenixwith two more twisted dancefloor bombs. 'Bishoujo' sets the tone, peppering a chugging locked-techno groove, with spooky melodies, EDM effects and gnarly noises. There's a little more dustiness and depth to SWT, which successfully fused a woozy deep house sensibility with Shackleton's trademark tech-funk swing and bump." [Juno Reviews]
