There is a lot of mystery surrounding the Amsterdam-based label Kalahari Oyster Cult. Run by Belgian DJ Colin Volvert, one would be hard pressed to find much of anything written about them on the internet. The only biographical information we were able to find was the quote, “An oyster of the old school who nobody can open.” This quote is taken from Milfred Newcomb’s 1989 analysis of one of Charles Dickens’ characters Mr. Tulkinghorn. Although we do not believe Dickens’ character is meant to represent the ethos of the label, oysters and the use of mysterious quotes certainly do. In fact, in each 5 of 6 releases Kalahar Oyster Cult has come out with in their inaugural year, a quote referencing oysters can be found in the notes section each of their discogs pages.

This theme will most likely continue in the label’s upcoming release of Rhythm Of Paradise’s 12’’ “Age of White.” From southern Italy, Rhythm Of Paradise’s Michele Lamacchia operates his own label Cosmic Rhythm and has been known to produce under aliases like Love Island, Mike Lee, Qubrique, and Soulvibe Inc. In his latest release, Michele has put together a proper selection of retro-fitted, extraterrestrial chunes that consist of 3 versions of the title track and a remix by his label mate Cosmic Garden.

While listening to the original, one can’t help but be reminded by other producers such as Lone who have made a living off this sort of sound. By utilizing an assortment oldschool drum machines, lush Detroit synths, and majestic chimes, Rhythm Of Paradise crafts a mood that is both nostalgic but refreshingly unfamiliar; as if one were floating through intergalactic space, gazing upon unknown lands while being accompanied by a recognizable soundtrack. You know, sorta like Guardians of the Galaxy but instead of music from the 60s and 70s, Quill's walkman is playing 90s house.

For all you Star-Lords that want to take this battleship for a ride on the dancefloor, you can pre-order “Age of White” by clicking on this link right here.

Anyone who has been following the music industry the past few years knows this fact: Vinyl sales are up! And up big! In fact, sales of vinyl in 2016 reached a 25-year high as consumers young and old have found new satisfaction from embracing physical formats of music.

However, this recent trend did not happen out of thin air. Independent labels, like Helsinki imprint Common Labour, have been the influencers behind the scenes making the shift happen by implementing policies where they exclusively release material on vinyl only formats. This has been a policy at Common Labour since their start in 2013, and although I doubt the journey has been easy, the label has developed one of the strongest discographies in the underground house scene – sporting phenomenal releases from the likes of artists such as Lukas Lyrestam, Kask, Powel, and Saine.

To celebrate this 5-year journey, the Finnish collective has decided to come out with a new compilation as part of their Odd Jobs series. Aptly titled Odd Jobs Vol. 3, this record pays homage to their hand-stamped, sticker-sealed history. Consisting of 4-tracks, this release features music from the likes of Sames, pothOles, Thomas Wood, and Bolting Bits fave Nachtbraker!

For the A1, the Dutch producer has come out with his very own original Tobogo, which goes much deeper than his usual array of turbo-funked disco bangers. This song actually gives off a distinctly more techno vibe than what we’re used to, and we like it! The tension Nachtbraker is able to establish from the get-go is something to behold, and he does his best in building it up and bringing it down throughout its entirety. Our favorite moment comes in around the 2 minute mark, when he uses a simple vocal sample to cut through all the angst like butter – unleashing a groove that you can’t help but bob your head too.

To get yourself a copy of Odd Jobs Vol. 3, pre-order your copy! There are only 241 copies, so don’t sleep on it!

PREMIERE : Nachtbraker - Tobago

Watching Me is the second Funky Espresso production on Smooth Operators. This house track has a Mediterranean vibe, crafted for summer dancefloors. Produced in Berlin, mixed and mastered in New York, remixed in Buenos Aires, it captures the groove from around the globe.

The track was born when Funky Espresso was jamming in their studio with Argentinian singer Priscilla Omil, looking to create a track that embodied the feeling of long lasting dances by the beach on summer nights. Paul Griesbach on his legendary sax and Paul Rowley on his guitar joined in and gave “Watching Me” an additional Balearic flair. The track was sent to Brooklyn-based producer Federico Chiesa (OORA), who fell in love with the vibes and decided to mix and master it adding some dancefloor presence to the soulful track.

Upon receiving the track back in Berlin, Funky Espresso sent it out and started receiving amazing feedback. Bill Brewster, London-based legendary DJ, was taken by the track and suggested that they reach out to Buenos Aires-based producer, bass player of 2020 Soundsystem, Fernando Pulichino to work on a remix. After a quick exchange, Fernando had the great idea to take the track in a more raw and funkier direction.

Together with the broken beat remix from Berlin-based Andrew Ashdown (Bridge Guy) and the acapella version celebrating Priscilla’s beautiful vocals, this release is the total package for summer playlists.

Funky Espresso is Marco Esposito and Aziz Hashmi. Their first release “Born for the Night” came out on Smooth Operators (SMOOP-002) on November 17, 2017.
