The L.A. Spacefunk dub takes things even deeper with some lush breakdowns and additional keybord solos from the man himself and is a perfect rub to have in the DJ box.

Laroye - Colombia 26a (STW Premiere)

For their fifth release Tiff’s Joints enlist the powers of the enigmatic and wondrously versatile Laroye. The three tracks that make up the release offer a dangerously rhythmic journey into spiritual dance music, placing equal importance on supplying premium fodder for dancers as on communicating a playful and otherworldly musical message, and have already received the seal of approval from the likes of Laurent Garnier, Alexander Nut, Nabihah Iqbal, Osunlade, Pablo Valentino and Volcov.

‘The Trickster’ takes one step closer to the centre of the dancefloor, built around an infectiously squelchy keys part and bolstered by a bassline that could set off car alarms, the track climaxes in a soaring lead melody, exploding into a ridiculous synth solo before reining it all in and managing to save some energy for a gallop to the finish line. Complete with an uplifting choral arrangement, seriously trippy lap-steel guitar(?!) and a mysterious guiding voice - this is one for the spacers!

Exclusive Premiere: Laroye "The Trickster" (Tiff's Joints)

“I’ve got these kids who can talk real fast,” was how record producer Sylvia Robinson described the Sugarhill Gang back in 1979, before their biggest hit ‘Rapper’s Delight’ was recorded. Fast forward forty years, and the song transcends genres, tastes and generations. Perhaps this is why as ‘Fever’ comes through the speakers there is a warm feeling of familiarity that comes with it. The exceptional US talent doesn’t end with Sugarhill Gang, as Qwestlife also enlist the help of Grammy award-winning vocalist Siedah Garrett and Furious Five members GrandMaster Melle Mel and Scorpio to bring together disco, hip-hop and soul on their latest output. Capturing the energy of a hot and heady dancefloor, ‘Fever’ makes a perfect follow-up to Qwestlife’s previous Glitterbox releases, as the duo continue their tradition of crafting great dance records with traditional analogue techniques. Opening with Laroye’s Powerfunk Mix, the groove continues with the Extended Mix of the track, finally the release closes with disco edit royalty KON’s remix, silky-smooth and instrumentally led, the Stateside producer’s mix is destined to blissfully float across the dancefloor.

British-by-way-of-Marseille DJ Thomas Lesnier’s recent outing under his moniker, Pegasvs, and second release under his newly minted London-based label, Burnin’ Music Recordings, is a step in a new, exciting direction for this multifaceted producer. Straying from the hard-hitting, dubby House gems of his previous work, “Closer to the Sun (Laroye Remix)” comes as a gauzy, lush, soulful banger that is outfitted to soundtrack the onset of  simmering summer days and poolside reveries.

Pegasvs’ inspiration for the track stems from his world travels, as well as time spent in his native Marseille, a city on the port of Southern France, well known for its warm Mediterranean climate and stunning oceanic vistas. This eclectic, panoramic frame of mind informs the many layers of this track, borrowing as much from West Coast Funk and Jazz Fusion as it does Deep House. This much is clear from the outset of the track, as shuffling, ticking percussion kicks in, while meditative synths begins to shimmer with soft keys floating atop. Laroye steady kick-drum pattern then anchors the track before it sails away completely. Before long, those squeaky, G-Funk synths reach a crescendo as the backing vocals, led by Brighton’s Abi Flynn, harmonize the song’s central refrain. The track’s multiple breaks give it a chance to breath and emphasize some gorgeous and unusual, yet completely fitting, instrumental flourishes-- the most prominent one being Ben Hawden’s majestic flute solo, which lends the track an ethereal, jazzy undertone.

“Closer to the Sun” sees Pegasvs opting for a more languorous, easy-going sound, but one that is no less ornate and emotionally potent. The songs speaks to the artist’s communal ethos, trading in the high-octane, hypnotic House-Tech that he has built himself a name for, and basking in a more melodious, sunflecked style that radiates with pure joy.

Best Girlfriends (Soulful Mix)

LV Premier - Laroye - Best Girlfriends (Soulful Mix) [Situationism]

'We’re really happy to be announce the debut Freerange release from French multi-instrumentalist, DJ and producer Laroye. Even though he has releases dating back to 2002 (for the excellent Faces label run by Pablo Valentino) it is fair to say Laroye has really hit his stride in the last couple of years, gracing the likes of Visions Inc, Tiff’s Joints and Magic Black with percussion-heavy house jams with warmth and soul. 

Lead cut ‘Be The Change’ is an exceptional track featuring the vocals of Carlos Mena aka Casamena of Ocha Records fame. With a doff of the cap to the grandmasters Ron Trent, Joe Clausell and Louie Vega, ‘Be The Change’ takes a soulful approach with Laroye getting deep on his analogue synths and heavy on the live percussion. The end result is a sublime slice of uplifting house which comes loaded with a positive message and stays true to the roots of the music that we love so much. In addition to the amazing full length original mix, Laroye has treated us to both an instrumental mix as well as a brilliant percapella version which strips things back to the bare bones for a tribal workout that can’t  fail to get your body spinnin’ like a whirling dervish.

Closing the EP we have another original track entitled ‘Twisted’. A no holds barred shuffling groove keeps things bumping along while Laroye gets to work on his modular machines, sculpting and shaping the tones whilst the neck snapping bounce keeps the energy bubbling perfectly. Rocking on an old school tip but with a contemporary twist, this reminds us a little of the Detroit Swindle tracks from a few years ago which is no bad thing.'

MIMS is delighted to premiere "Twisted" a bumping house number by  Laroye, taken from his forthcoming "Be The Change" EP on Freerange Records, released on October 16.

French multi-instrumentalist, DJ producer and student of master percussionist Orlando Poleo. Even though he has releases dating back to 2002 (for the excellent Faces label run by Pablo Valentino) it is fair to say Laroye has really hit his stride in the last couple of years, gracing the likes of Visions Inc, Tiff’s Joints and Magic Black with percussion-heavy house jams with warmth and soul.

The debut release on Local Talk from French multi-instrumentalist Laroye goes down two separate paths. The main attraction 'Potion For Love' is a deep Detroit(ish) jam that got both a raw edge and a musical and jazzual feel, a good combo! With a slight boogie bump, soulful vocals and that basement feel its def one for the heads.
