exclusive | NachoMarco - 909 File 1 | Chiwax

Valencia's Nacho Marco has an incredibly impressive back catalogue, with releases on brilliant labels including Freerange, Plastic City, Lazy Days, Ovum, We Play House and his own excellent Loudeast imprint too. Now added to the list is the irrepressible Chiwax, with his “The 909 Files" EP. 

Each track is simply titled 'File 1' through to “File 4“, so let's kick things off in the usual order. "File 1“ is a powerhouse of percussion and keys, with an almost Reese-esque bassline rumbling underneath. The weight of the kicks and the metronomic rattle of the rimshots thunders the track along, making this a very impressive opener. 

“File 2" slows the BPM down a few notches, the drums are again super-heavy (being from the 909, as the EP title gives away), but this time the keys take a softer approach, with glorious floating pads underpinning the mellow mood here. A wonderfully woozy closer to the A-side. 

Flipping over for “File 3“ on the B-side, the 909 is joined by our old friend the M1 bassline, with clipped vox parts adding to the energy pulsing through the track. Swinging along in a fashion reminiscent of classics such as  Kerri Chandler et'al, this is a superb straight-up warm house jam. 

Rounding the EP off, “File 4’"is built around a stabby church organ riff which nags away throughout the track, the punchy percussion and tinkling chords coming together in a swirl of joyous depth for the dancefloor. The bassline chugs away with its neat bounce, echoing the thump of the unmistakable 909 kicks, closing the EP off in the style it maintains throughout, namely exquisite dancefloor-driven house music which has a real timeless quality.

"Both Chicago-style pizza and Chicago-style house music are deep and delicious, and this is fresh out of the furnace. This iconic sound is exactly what’s celebrated on the fifth release of Deeper Groove Recordings as the label once again enlists Cork-based talent Southbound Sounds for their new EP, ‘Whiplash’.

Lead track ‘Whiplash’ swirls and rotates around the listener with phased claps, hats and clean percussion, softened by a frenzy of warm organ stabs. These are paired with an incessant, distant vocal sample, and before you know it, the groove has you moving. Glenn Davis’ stunning remix of this later in the EP takes the keys to another level with a cool drum break and subtle, bumping bassline.

‘Vortex’ is a joyous house number from the Southbound Sounds boys. Again revolving around a smattering of organ stabs, it feels classy and effortless. Highly danceable stuff.

The final track on the EP, ‘Beacon’, winds things down in a completely unique way. Almost Balearic in style, it features a straining violin string, dubby vocals and synths that delay into the sunset. It really is a dusky tune – perfect for bringing a dancefloor to a unifying close."

Cat: SBR0147
Format: Digital / Streaming
Genre: House / Deep House
Release Date: 10/05/24
Buy / Pre Order Link: https://fanlink.tv/SBR014

It’s been a long time coming but it’s finally happening… Lavan makes his debut on SlothBoogie with a five track EP of superb House rhythms. The Berlin resident opens the release with ‘Tremendous’, filled with US garage referencing chords and a stellar lead organ solo. Up next is the jacking pump of ‘Gwan Nasty’ with its classy chopped vocals, deep house chords and fierce drums.

‘Can’t Tell Me Nothing’ starts off with some familiar drum patterns that quickly get beefed up to underpin the gliding organ chords and synth top lines creating a tough jam for the clubs. ‘Nonchalant’ chops in some classic vocal snippets over softer harmonies backed up by Lavan’s rough and ready drum programming and deep sub notes. ‘Heard You Was A Freak’ rounds the whole EP off with cruising deep chords, dreamy melodies, clever vocal sampling and yet more classic H.O.U.S.E basslines.

This release is definitely one for the real house heads out there.

PREMIERE: Lavan - Can't Tell Me Nothing [SlothBoogie Recordings]

Luther Vine's Fragments Of Reality are back with another kaleidoscopic compilation of cutting- edge sounds which gush with innovative verve and luminously hued vigour. 

FOR06 opens with a volcanic eruption of groove and swagger by Irish born, London based Wizkid to watch out for Rhythms of Prescott. The track titled ‘Three One Two’ bares his signature hallmarks of tightly woven glitchy strums and kicks and offers an exhilarating jaunt through Déjà vu-inducing parallel universe dancefloor. 

‘Dress 2 Sweat’ by Aguila sets up the 90’s inspired echo- muffled vocal samples to effortlessly glide atop the introspective warm, sun-bleached bassline. It’s been tested and certified as an ideal weapon to have locked and loaded for an early night proceeding. Equally it could further decorate any a plush exuberance of a decadent after-hours dancefloor. 

Next, we challenge you to feel your headspace with the ‘Delayed Fizz’ by Douwe and Picasso. Its chiselled groove section with urbanesque electro twists sets the centre stage for the playful arpeggiated harmonies. The result is infectious and promises to spread the movement across the dancefloor like a wildfire. 

The closing track of FOR06 is a testament to how varied and fresh the label’s pallet is regarding the cutting-edge new sounds. ‘Unintended Consequences’ by Tom Frankel is graceful, yet dynamic affair with retro-tinged melodic touch. It masterfully avoids clichés and lives a long-lasting lingering feeling that should tie you over at least until the FOR07 is ready to pick up where this belter of an EP leaves you.

Mareels, Z4LD - Toma Toma (Original Mix) [Played by Cloonee, Manda Moor]

We're excited to announce a little something extra from our first vinyl release at Restless Planet. The Harrison BDP remix of an Adam Collins tune, previously an exclusive bonus for our vinyl enthusiasts, will soon be available for digital download on our Bandcamp!

This track, a prelude to an upcoming release from Adam Collins on Soft Spoken Secret, perfectly marries Adam’s immersive soundscapes with Harrison BDP’s dynamic beats. It’s a snapshot of the collaborative spirit thriving in our local underground scene.

It’s fair to say Harrison BDP is one of those rare producers that has already amassed quite the reputable back catalog in a very short space of time. Harrison BDP’s recent works in 2024, including his remixes for Luuk Van Dijk on Dansu Discs and Hessa on Cosmos, and his release on Shall Not Fade, have only strengthened our admiration for his talent. 

He’s become a go-to producer for many DJs and has been refining his sound for over 10 years. We’re continually inspired by his earlier releases like “Decompression,” known for its deep, immersive soundscapes, and “Easy Tiger,” an EP that captures his knack for minimal deep tech with smooth, rhythmic beats.

This remix is filled with tons of percussion and rhythm, pulling the listener in. The track offers undeniable grooves and is sure to be a favorite at daytime and after-hour shows alike, resonating with a vibrant energy that gets everyone moving. It showcases why Harrison BDP has become such a versatile producer, offering a new perspective on the strength of an Adam Collins stomper.

At Restless Planet, we have always loved ethereal and otherworldly sounds, songs with true musicianship.

Stay Restless and join us in celebrating this release, as we hope it finds its way into your favorite playlists and beyond!

Out July 2024.
