Well over a decade has passed since the birth of "Dedication", Mikey Yamada and Felix Dickinson’s collaborative band. The project was born way back in 2005, during one of Dickinson’s frequent DJing trips to the Far East. While staying in Japan, the Cynic Records boss found himself in Yamada’s studio, alongside new friend Tsuyoshi Kosuga (a bassist and guitarist most famous for his work as part of Cro-Magnon), and carpenter-turned-keyboard wizard Botch. The name Dedication was borrowed from the clothing brand Yamada had been developing for some time. Felix took the recording of that first session back to the UK, where Kyle Chandler (his partner in Foolish and Sly) added some vocals. That track, ‘It’s A Dedication’ was released on Cutting Edge in Japan the following year. Since then, Dedication material has slipped out frustratingly infrequently, a reflection of the occasional nature of their recording sessions. Aside from a high profile – and well received – 12” on DFA in 2014 (“I Ain’t Gonna Tell You”, which was backed with a scorching rework by DJ Kaos), the outfit’s output has been limited to a handful of tracks on hard-to-find compilations. Here, two of those in-demand compilation cuts appear on 12” for the first time, via Claremont 56, the long-running label operated by Dickinson’s old friend Paul “Mudd” Murphy. On the A you’ll find the sublime “Let Me Rock You”, a track that first emerged on Jason Kincade’s Mangiami collection, a tribute to the legendary NYC bar-turned-midweek party venue of the same name. Tactile, groovy and emotion-rich, the track sounds like a long lost, late ‘80s remix by Frankie Knuckles – perhaps the Godfather of House’s legendary reworks of Womack & Womack’s “Missing Persons Bureau”, and Chaka Khan’s “Ain’t Nobody” – with Botch’s fluid piano solos recalling the similarly superb work of Satoshi Tomie. It’s little less than a dreamy, wide-eyed dancefloor hug. On the flip you’ll find “Pito Deep”, a track named after a deep underwater trench that was recorded after Dedication’s band members swapped instruments. Powered by a headlinegrabbing synth bassline, tidal guitar flourishes, crunchy Clav lines and spacey synth solos, the track has been in demand since it first appeared on Mule Music’s CD-only The Definitive Japanese Scene compilation way back in 2009. Finally, this winding chunk of deep disco brilliance has finally made it to wax.

Our love for the COEO boys work continues with their latest Mydonna EP on Toy Tonics. We've got the premiere on the alternate cut of the Disco and House tinged lead track and its a big and bouncey dancefloor weapon if ever there was one. The classic guitar sample gets all chopped up on top of a stomping beat that will guarantee a room full of  pumping air fists.

SB PREMIERE : COEO - Mydonna (Alternate Cut)

There's a lot of music floating about in the world. There's possibly too much music, actually. So how do you, dear reader, decide what's worthy of your praise? How do you determine what needs to go straight to the top of your must-listen pile? There's a few ways of doing that of course, but by far the most useful is to see if Larry Heard's involved. If, by some magnificent stroke of luck, he is, then get whatever it is in your possession IMMEDIATELY.

Without Chicagoan Heard's contributions, its quite possible that house as we know it today wouldn't exist. That's not journalistic hyperbole either—Heard, AKA Mr Fingers, is as important as dance music producers get. Imagine a world without "Mystery of Love" or "Washing Machine" or "You're Someone Special" or "Can You Feel It," and what you're imagining is an infinitely duller world. Heard is house royalty, and is rightly worshipped as such.

Which is why we're absolutely ecstatic to be bringing you a world exclusive listen to a brand new remix by Heard himself. The big man's been given free reign over Detroit producer Mandingo's 2016 Rekids release "Universe II" for a fantastic 12" dropping this week on the same imprint. Heard's chunky, chewy, cosmically-attuned take on the track is a deep space roller destined to send discerning clubbers into a total tailspin over the next few weeks and months. If we still had a record bag, we'd tell you that it'd never leave ours. Oh, and the Melchior Productions remix on the other side of the record is a stunner too.

The COEO boys need no introduction anymore. Their two last singles made it into the sets of so many  DJs (..and went #1 on Traxsource and Juno). They are among the emerging artists of that new German scene of kids that make house inspired by old Jazz and Funk records. The boys are mad about rare vinyl. And they love to make music with a positive spirit. Yes, there is something sunny in their tracks. Something that instantly makes you want to move. We heard so many mixtapes that started with a COEO track. Makes sense: They are perfect to set a vibe. A good mood. But if you know that the COEO boys work in a studio over the roofs of Munich, with a fantastic view over the lights of the city, with a great vibe where you see all the glammy colors of the light in the night..Ö then you understand why COEO's music sounds as it sounds.

Cantos de Vision (Remixed)

PREMIERE : Nicola Cruz - Tzantza (Simple Symmetry Remix) [Multi Culti]

Last year Rebirth Records celebrated 10 years with the release of the acclaimed compilation selected and mixed by Larry Heard. We are now happy to present 'Rebirth 10 Remixed': a special collection, available on a limited 2x12” vinyl edition, and three digital parts, including brand new versions of some of the classics of the label in the first ten years.

The first part includes remixes from Red Axes, Rampa, Modular Project and VVV. The hot Tel Aviv duo Red Axes bring their trademark new wave sound to a tropical dimension remixing Robytek's 'Luna Africana' combining unusual melodies of bells, chimes and perc drums. The Keinemusik boss Rampa is back with a killer remix of 'Deep Musique' by Pasta Boys Feat. Osunlade, definitely another dancefloor peak time cut on Rebirth. The italian duo Modular Project add their electronic-balearic touch to the Blond:ish vocal anthem ‘Wizard of Love’, while the misterious bass producer VVV reworks another classic on the label, ‘Crossroads’ by T-Polar, giving us a sublte but heavy deep and futuristic synth work. 

The cover sleeve is a work by Emil Schult, who has created a painting especially for the Rebirth's Anniversary. Emil is known for his work with electronic music pioneers Kraftwerk. Schult's collaboration with founders Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider saw him actively involved in writing lyrics as well as generating the design for some of the band's most famous covers.

Forest Swords - The Highest Flood

Following their eponymously titled 2016 arrival on Midland's Graded imprint, as well as a recent follow-up on Dark Entries, @Solitary-Dancer return to the label on which they made their debut. Once again, this three-track 12” blends electro, ambient, and acid to superb, undeniably modern effect.

With a running time of nearly 12-minutes, the title track 'Transmitting To Heaven' is an ambitiously sweeping cut that subtly moves through its various shades, from electro and acid, to strobe-lit 90s rave.

The B-side kicks off with 'Birth of Saturn', built around an arpeggiating synth that shifts and morphs throughout the track as the intensity ascends. The 12” closes off with 'At The End Of The Corridor Of Love, A Loss', a slow burning ambient piece that is as sombre as it is cinematic.
