In the last few years, we’ve seen French DJ and producer Laroye delivering the goods time after time on respected labels such as Atjazz Recordings, Compost, Makin Moves and Foliage. His most recent LP just released on Local Talk has been getting big support picking up plays on Radio 1, 6Music, Worldwide FM as well as spins from Natasha Diggs, Gilles Peterson, Craig Charles, Louie Vega, and Honey Dijon. Freerange is proud to welcome him back for the follow up to 2020’s release Be The Change, presenting you with a killer 4 track EP entitled ‘First Sight’.
 
Leading the charge, Laroye is joined by influential Detroit artist, DJ, producer, and vocalist Javonntte who has written and recorded a brilliant vocal for the title track. Laroye’s fat beats, jazzy chords and soulful touch make the perfect production for Javonntte’s vocals. Up next, we have the ‘Percussive Dub’ mix of ‘Uku Dance’ in which Laroye strips things back to the bare bones making for a serious percussion tool work out to spice up your sets. On ‘Uku Dance’ a bass-heavy groove is punctuated with vocal chops and deep Rhodes part which adds a moody, late-night touch. Just the kind of soulful, dubby, afro track that will get the house dancers throwing down like their lives depended on it! Closing out the release you’ll find an instrumental version of ‘First Sight’.

PREMIERE : Laroye - Uku Dance

Future Funk is a journey through time. Inspired mostly by gems from the 80ies, 90ies and different parts of the world. Moiety always keeps exploring and finding inspiration in different places. Most of the tracks on the album stuck with him for years and he felt that they were now ripe enough to release on the first Moiety album after many different releases spread over the years.

APPAREL PREMIERE: Moiety - Sideman [Rugged Society]

Foundation Music is proud to present ‘The Flowers EP’ by Foremost Poets aka Johnny Dangerous. Back in the news after being featured on the Grammy winning Alien Superstar from Beyonce’s latest album - but for those that know - he has never gone away as he is always on someone’s dance floor. Foremost Poets productions and his vocals are simply devastating and label head, Ross Allen, has been a fan since he first heard the Nu Groove classic ‘Reason’s to Be Dismal’ on the reworked Richard Long Edition.  It was a record that blew him away then and now, recently played by Pete Tong on Radio One, and with Sven Vath including it on his anniversary compilation too. Ross signed this record when he hooked up with Johnny in New York 3 years, but wanted to wait until the time was right. That time is now.
 
‘Flowers In the Attic’ is no normal dance record, clocking in at thirteen minutes. It’s an epic Johnny D production, falling into that place where funk and house come together in the most magical, danceable way. It’s long but enticing, taking you through different phases and surprises you as it sucks you in, twists you up, and pulls you out. ‘Escape From Dubai’ is almost trance like but with that New York lean that keeps it very much on the right side of the Foundation Music fence. Full of funk, it has a deepness that builds and swells into an epic journey that takes you to another dimension. The broken beat of ‘Don’t Shut Your Eyes’ closes out and is another piece of New York/ New Jersey up-tempo funk, syncopated and grooving with a repetitive hook, that goes deep via its Hammond organ solo and jazzy vocal.

PREMIERE : Foremost Poets - Don't Shut Your Eyes

Robert Frederik is back on Morris Audio! After his first much acclaimed “Bokeh EP”, the young welsh artist with his distinctive vision of music and art presents 4 new tunes on his “Perkin EP”. Keeping things minimalistic, Robert has a very deep, calm yet lively sound that sometimes reminds us of some Cabaret Voltaire/Richard H. Kirk, early Warp’s Bleeps & Clonks, UK deep house from the late 90’s or Germany’s finest Smallville. It’s stripped down, warm, funky, modern deep House! Listen – enjoy – repeat!

Josh Wink - Sexy Bot (Charlie Soul Clap Remix)

Here comes the 2nd release on our imprint from the classy duo, this time on vinyl. The Robinson continue their personal voyage into the shades of house, never forgetting their roots deeply linked to the second wave of Chicago House and the distinctive sound of Italo House.

This new effort consists of two tracks per side: two original cuts and just as many powerful remixes by the U.S. legends of the game, Fred P and Trinidadian Deep. Taste Rec. keeps the pressure high with an EP that unleashes pulsating beats and groovy basslines merged perfectly with soulful melodies, tribal percussions, and a special Kora solo recorded live.

Dreamy atmospheres alongside four-to-the-floor rhythms are the philosophy we pursue, and we prove it by delivering a record suitable for both clubs and private underground events.

PREMIERE: The Robinson - Native Faith (Fred P Reshape) [Taste Rec.]

Enter center stage is Fred P, the undisputed master of subtle four to the floor Soul and Tech infused House. We are proud to present his Ibadan debut single "Energy Soul" and "Visions". The New York connoisseur delivers with futuristic conviction and his fire burns bright.

Energy Soul

Those Rainy Days Again is the second single taken from "Nu Home".
