DUB.FORMAT - GLASSED EP - HOLLSÖN REMIX

Former Bar25 resident, acclaimed DJ and producer and Sender Records boss Benno Blome is back with a brand new EP that features two of his originals and two fine remixes from Okain Haus and Mihai Popoviciu.
Benno Blome is a boundary pusher who always diversifies with each new release and every DJ set. He has put out great EPs like Braitbendnoodles and the opulent after-hour head-movie "Eramina" and here impresses with a deep and infectious house sound. 
Opener Abotha is a nice and steamy cut with soulful pads layered up over soft rubber beats. Little melodic hooks pull you in and vocal murmuring add a steamy sense of human emotion. 

Romanian Mihai Popoviciu has had great success either solo or with the likes of Jay Bliss and has released on labels including Fear Of Flying, Hudd Traxx, Bang Bang and Diynamic. His remix here is slightly more uptempo and slick, with simmering and shimmying chords rolling over the face of the infectious beats. 

Also remixing is Frenchman Okain, who is a Fabric and Watergate regular and who puts out music on BPitch Control, Cadenza and many others. His version of Abotha is more tech, stripped out and freewheeling, with airy hi hats and thin synth lines meandering about to really hypnotise mind, body and soul. 

Benno’s other original is LED, another syrupy, gloopy, perfectly soft and inviting, warm and romantic house groove with gentle synth stabs, smeared pads and lots of late night soul in its bones. Great vocals again act as a nice human hook and it doesn’t take much to imagine the floor going wild for this one. Once again then Benno Blome proves he is a talented producer with many great ideas and more than the skills to pull them off.

Parallel Space EP

Forest Drive West - Parallel Space (Conforce Remix)

Blanche I [XYZ012]
Release Date : 1.3.20
Purchase : www.beatport.com/release/blanche-i/2800627

Label XYZ’s first compilation comes in the form of Blanche - an annual series focused on collecting unique, innovative, and burgeoning artists, and shining a refreshed light on their art in the early days of the new year. From groovy to melodic, percussive to ethereal, Blanche represents the beginning of our explorations into 2020’s musical landscape. With newcomers and label favorites alike, the seven track release continues to harvest XYZ’s creative direction as an artist-first label, purveying talented producers with an insightful story to tell.

We are thrilled to present an XYZ debutant, and a producer that is making an impressive musical resurgence. Jim Rider is a seasoned veteran of the industry, and a key figure in London throughout the years as both a producer and promoter. After an extended break from the studio, Jim has revived his artistic drive in incredible fashion. With a recent release on Lee Burridge’s surging Tale & Tone, as well as upcoming work with Kindisch, Rider has the attention of the dance community’s most influential tastemakers.

Rider displays his knack for more melodic elements on Five Ways. A teasing intro gives way to a sturdy low end, with a fluttering electro melody placing the track in afterhours territory.
