Riva Starr - Raw Edits EP Vol 2
Release date: October 2nd

The always unpredictable and wildly creative Riva Starr returns to Saved Records for the second installment of his Raw Edits EP. Once again delving into an eclectic soundscape that references a plethora of genres, styles and tempos, Riva highlights why is the master of the edit yet again.

First up, Riva settles into addictive dubby atmospheres whilst splicing together the gospel vocals of Roland Clark’s ‘President House’ with the energetic groove of Sante Sansone’s ‘Groove Vibration.’ Thick swabs of bass pulsate between jackin’ beats which build and build throughout the track, mirroring the escalation of the impassioned vocals that bellow out over the top.

Setting off to work on Alex Under’s ‘Hacer La Compra’ Riva gives a demonstration on the workings of nailing a subtle edit.  Staying true to the original, he keeps things relatively stripped back to begin with, allowing jangling synths to flutter over fluid bass and quick percussion. That sense of swinging funk is then opened up by brilliant use of distorted FX, woozing keys and syncopating electronics.

With his edit of Gene Farris’ ‘Welcome To Chicago’ and Ron Costa’s remix of Miguel Bastida’s ‘Ketanima’ Rivaa digs into deep, dubby textures reminiscent of the heyday of Chicago house. Built around warm pads, melodic synths and surges of deep bass, the track has a laidback vibe but powered by a distinctly underground momentum.

House Nation

DJ Roland Clark & Sante Sansone - House Nation (Riva Starr Edit) (Edit)


It'd be no surprise if this one's heard copious amounts throughout the Ibiza season, especially with HS82 having a residency at Pacha. Full-on from the off - powered by rattles and bellowing drum kicks - it quickly descends into rolling chaos, the type that's more or less guaranteed to do some damage on White Isle dancefloors.

Canadian Paolo Rocco kickstarts the New Year with his ​Judgement EP on Hot Creations. The first release of 2017 is an international affair, with Manchester born Trevino and one of the most spoken
names of last year, Greece native Detlef on remix duties.

“An artist can sometimes become wrapped up with other people's judgments. People will always judge you; and this record is a reminder that those judgments should not matter”. Paolo Rocco
Initially making a name for himself through his DJing skills back home in Montreal, Paolo's productions entered the market in 2012 with instant international support. His releases on Real Tone, One Records, Saved and others were all met with high acclaims as were the compilations he mixed for Defected and Get Physical. The creation of, ‘Judgement’ and ‘That’s It’ prove Paolo truly understands what works on the dance floor.

2016 saw Detlef reach new heights whilst also debuting on Hot Creations with his ‘Kinky Tail’ EP. He returns to
the label with a devastating edit of ‘Judgement’ and his rolling signature sound.

Trevino aka Marcus Intalex ramps up the EP with his remix, centred around shimmering high hats and a freaky groove. A champion of how a DJ can achieve success in two different genres, Trevino has released on several of the most praised drum & bass and techno labels for a number of years.

D.Ramirez & Mark Knight wrote some incredible collabs back in the early days of Toolroom and really set the sound and vision of the label.

This stone-cold anthem 'Colombian Soul' first landed back in 2007; fast forward 10 years to the current time of 2020 and Sllash & Doppe give this track a brand new lease of life by means of a remix!

It really is signature stuff from this duo – With those warm tribal drums and rolling groove, you can tell instantly who's responsible. Like any great remix, they’ve been respectful to the original, keeping that dominant synth throughout whilst adding their own layers of steel-pan sounds and plenty of percussion.

Sllash & Doppe really inject their personalities into their productions and DJ sets. That is more than evident here and they are now fully part of the #ToolroomFamily!

Exclusive: Alan Dixon - Edge Of Forever (Prins Thomas Diskomiks ft. Bugge Wesseltoft)

After its annual summer break Correspodant around label-head Jennifer Cardini is back and starts the new season with a four tracker from Alan Dixon. His Edge of Forever EP comes with three originals and a Diskomiks from the maestro of the genre Prins Thomas ft. Bugge Wesseltoft for the title track. The rework from Thomas M. Hermansen, Prins Thomas' real name, and pianist Bugge Wesseltoft is a groovey homage to summer season, to a better time, to hope and freedom, to music and the joy and the lust of life it evokes in people. Dramatically perfectly arranged the Diskomiks comes with a crunchy housey beat which is shortly enriched with a funky bass line melody that, in the course of the track, sets the base for the piano. The latter holds several tonal arrays switching between lower and higher ranges that are stretched over 10 minutes and 20 seconds. But those are a dramatically and musically a symphony over several octaves, split in multiple chapters and held together by the combined genius of these two artists. 

Alan Dixon's EP Edge of Forever will be released on Correspondant on September 25th, 2020.

Continuing an already bustling 2020, that has seen him release on Relief Records and Glasgow Underground, Italian-talent Adapter makes an exciting debut on Hot Creations this November with Skate Dancer. The two-track EP includes a special remix from contemporary house heavyweight, Patrick Topping.

We’re graced with that feel-good eighties touch from the offset, as groovy female vocals shimmer amidst a pumping, 4x4 bassline on Skate Dancer. Sampling Doug Willis’ seminal 2000 track of the same name, the disco-inspired cut strikes the perfect balance between age-old funk rhythm and modern house swing, before Patrick Topping’s remix takes on a darker, techno-leaning tone with hard-hitting kick-hat combos and punchy, no-nonsense percussion.

Naples-based Adapter has experienced a meteoric rise in a career that has spanned multiple years. Releases on some of the genre’s most well-loved labels, including Riva Starr’s Snatch! Records and Green Velvet’s Relief have cemented his status as one of the scene’s true heavy hitters. Label-head of Trick and a mainstay in modern electronic music, Patrick Topping’s accolades speak for themselves. A Mixmag cover star, DJ mag ‘Best of British’ Award Winner as well as three-time DJ Award winner, the well-established Geordie’s latest venture is the label and party series, Trick. With sold-out showcases across the UK last year, alongside releases from the likes of Skream and Alex Virgo, there seems to be no end in sight for the Newcastle-born talent.

Release Info:
We are very pleased to finally present you a new Lorenz Rhode release, for the „Sandpaper EP“ Lorenz Rhode and Jamie Lidell get together again. Their first collab „Any Kind of Pressure“ was followed by Lorenz joining Jamie’s world tour and a remix of „Big Love“ for Warp Records. Jamie performs with an amazing energy, and his soulful voice is carried by a warm and playful house backing: Minimoog bass, Rhodes piano and just some sparkles of a very old Roland synth that Lorenz had just bought, and which is now broken.

The second new jam „On the Nightshift“ is a fun stabby tune based on a spiraling chord progression. It loops every three-and-a-half bars, just to make life harder for DJs. A real nice warm groover.

The remix for „Sandpaper“ is a true family affair! Sound Support is the all new project by Lars Dales better known as 1/2 of Detroit Swindle and Lorenz himself. They’ve just released their debut EP on Prins Thomas’ “Internasjonal” label in October this year, here they take Jamie’s vocal into a more dramatic and electronic territory touching electro grounds. To close things out we also added an instrumental on the vinyl and radio mix on the digital version of this new EP. Enjoy as much as we did putting this together for you!

Marking WEISS & A-Trak’s first official collaboration (following Trizzy’s remix of WEISS & Harry Romero’s “Where Do We Go” and years of sharing the decks in mutual admiration), the chopped-up, feel-good “Funk U” is a multi-generational joy explosion in true Fool’s Gold fashion.

Next up on Danny Howard's Nothing Else Matters we welcome back UK based DJ and producer, Denton, for the release of his second single, 'Depend On Me', this time teaming up with the brilliant, Cathy Battistessa on vocals. During the lockdown period, Denton, an alias of the super talented, Josh Butler, worked in collaboration with a variety of vocalists and is set to release many more vocal-focused productions under his new pseudonym. 'Depend On Me' is the next in the series; a sublime, contemplative House cut with emotive vocals. Over a timeless 4/4 beat complete with nostalgic stabs, crisp drums, deep bass rolls and delicate melodic flourishes, 'Depend On Me' is a glorious follow up, and a tantalising taste of what is to come from Denton in 2021. Completing the package label boss, Danny Howard, has added his own edit of the record, enjoy!
