The Alma Negra Live Band - San Jon (Alma Negra Night Mix) 
Alma Negra Records
Release : 2.9.2022

Alma Negra are back with more sunshine grooves to nice up open air dancefloors and lift the spirit from Berlin to Bali from Mombasa to Lagos.  The ‘San Jon EP’ is the debut release from ‘The Alma Negra Live Band’.  Although the band has had many international gigs and adventures, this is the first release that Alma Negra has recorded with their team of talented musicians live in the Alma Negra studio. Co-ops with a myriad of musicians has become an integral part of the Alma Negra sound of today and over the past 5 years.

 

This EP is one for the live heads as ‘Mombasa to Lagos’ kicks off this head-nodding package from the Basel based collective plus their live band members.  It’s a straight up Afrobeat dance work with electronic influences laced throughout its journey from East to West.  ‘San Jon’ takes its inspiration from the street procession in Cabo Verde which celebrates the religious festival of St Jon. This cut is played out over a 3/4 rhythm with drums and the loose-limbed swanky dancer firmly in mind.  

 

‘Taxi Radio’ is one wild journey where up-tempo beats, hints of reggae, wild frenetic percussion, and some nasty synths are all combined on this pacey cut. With his remix, Mehmet Aslan expands the rhythmic variety with his Soca interpretation of ‘San Jon’, resulting in a tripped-out joint to be played deep into the extended hours of the club.  ‘Alma Negra's Night Mix’ of the title track rounds out the EP with a deeper and more moody interpretation of the original.

PREMIERE: TMX - How Many [HeadAhead Records]

Throughout 2022, NuNorthern Soul unveiled a swathe of releases under the Myths of Ibiza banner – a set of digital-only EPs featuring cover artwork by illustrator Emily McGuinness, based on her interpretations of folkloric stories from the Balearic Isles. Now the series is set for its’ belated epilogue, courtesy of North of the Island – the Balearic-minded alter-ego of long-serving Mancunian DJ/producer Neil Scott.

The Feeling Free EP, which features additional production and mixing from PBR Streetgang’s Bonar Bradberry, was originally scheduled for release last year, but major changes in Scott’s life – not least a move to Australia, where the nu-disco scene stalwart now resides – meant pushing it back until he had time to finish the tracks. It was a shrewd move, because the EP now contains some of Scott’s most magical, kaleidoscopic and atmospheric original productions to date.

Proof arrives immediately via opener ‘Sioux You’, a gorgeous mixture of stirring, melancholic synth chords (think Pet Shop Boys’ ‘West End Girls’ and you’re close), deep sub-bass, lilting lead lines, head-nodding drums and layers of Latin-tinged percussion. It’s a terrifically tactile affair that adds a shuffling, sunset-ready lens to Scott’s vibrant, nu-disco-influenced trademark sound.

It's followed by ‘I Feel’, a squelchy, slow-motion, delay-laden nod to synthesiser and drum machine-driven Balearic gems of the 1980s that first featured on NuNorthern Soul’s Summer Selections Four EP this time last year. Blessed with the boldest of synth basslines, authentic drum machine percussion and effects aplenty, it’s an impressive slab of nostalgic retro-futurism.

Scott reaches for glossy, near huggable FM synth melodies on the gorgeous ‘System Junk’, slowly and subtly building up a loved-up groove laden with intergalactic electronics, head-nodding drums, shimmering riffs and a yearning, rising and falling bassline. Even better is astonishing closing cut ‘Tired Sunrise’, a slowly unfurling dusk soundscape rich in clicking drums, yawning pads, echoing effects, blissful synth sounds and the most impeccable of piano solos. It feels like a future Balearic classic.

Emily McGuinness’s cover artwork for the release depicts Hierbas Ibicencas, the “famous spirit of Ibiza” made of local herbs. Hierbas Ibicencas can trace its roots back to monks who lived on Ibiza in the Middle Ages. They grew wild herbs and once preserve them in alcohol, with the resulting liquid being used as a medicinal remedy. According to tradition, Hiberas Ibicencas can only be made with an odd number of herbs – which should preferably be gathered on the morning after a full moon, before the day of San Juan, to guarantee good luck and “add some extra magic to the potion”.

Tel Aviv's Nenor has released on the most illustrious of imprints like Moodymann's Mahogani Music, Dam Swindle's Heist Recordings, Strictly Rhythm and Defected, with a wide-ranging house sound fusing clever sampling with the sounds of vintage gear and rare synths.

He arrives on Burnin Music with a stunning quartet of deep grooves ready for balmy summer daze and nites.

The title track jams along with insistent Rhodes chords and dubby chords and drum fills that give a nod to his time spent living and recording reggae musicians in Jamaica, while 'Side Effect' heads into dreamier territory with its chuggy tempo, '70s film score strings, twinkling electric pianos and guitar glissandos.

'Start It Up' recalls golden age hip-hop with its taut drum break and melancholy key scales and chords, and 'Green Time' finishes off in beguiling style with a hypnotic and darkly-tinged tribal rhythm.

All tracks written, produced and mixed by Ronen "Nenor" Sabo except "Start it up" written by Lior Romano & Ronen "Nenor" Sabo.

Nenor - Running Out EP - Snippets

Secretsundaze 17th release comes from London based producer Endian. Releasing just 2 EP's in a few years on Non Plus and Electric Minds, Endian has nevertheless managed to to turn the heads of the likes of Steffi who used one of his tracks for her Panorama Bar compilation and Boddika who also licensed a track for a various artists EP. Sounding like a producer far more experienced than the two releases would indicate, it came as no surprise that this is far from the the output of a novice but the seasoned veteran George Levings aka Commix (Metalheadz). 

Endian has been a regular at secretsundaze events over the years and a friendship developed with Giles and James. The project is an outlet for him to release the more technoey and house sound that he is increasingly inspired by.
 
Lead and title track 'Finish Me' is a stone cold killer. Ballsy, raw and over driven in the mix, a tribal breakbeat groove builds before brassy stabs sneak in. The peak of the track sees dramatic pads cut through for a moment of serenity before the drums drop back in. Joy Orbison used 'Finish Me' in his Essential mix late last year and its also been a highlight of secretsundaze's sets over last 6 months. 'Techno To Finish' goes deeper with a layer of fuzzy warmth enveloping the track. Driving but definitely one for the later hours or early on with its hypnotising flow and subtle musical flourishes. Last up 'Sub Tropic' is a heads down, growling, low slung techno track with its deep sub bass. This is definitely a track you can imagine hearing in the bowels of Berghain well into Sunday daytime. 

'Finish Me' is arguably Endian's best work to date and it's another fine addition to the secretsundaze catalogue.
