It is with great honor that I am able to give this away.  A tribute to one of my heroes, Frankie Knuckles.

The relationship between Detroit and Chicago, for me, has always been about connection.  Any kind of rivalry is secluded and irrelevant, in my opinion.

Chicago is approximately a 6 hour drive from Detroit, so, growing up we would frequent parties, back and forth.  On any weekend in Detroit, we could meet people from Chicago who wanted to experience our small scene in Detroit.

Whereas Detroit had a much more distant, cold feeling while still trying to retain human elements, Chicago house music always appealed to me because it seemed like the softer, soulful version of Techno.  I was drawn to the organ chords and the jacking indigenous rhythms of 808s.  Growing up with Detroit radio, we were exposed to funk music and a lot of R&B.  Some of the first records I bought were Change “Change of Heart” and Frankie Knuckles presents Jamie Principle “Your Love”, both artworks and music having very geometric, mechanical feeling, yet airbrushed and fun vibes.

Frankie Knuckles was the most pivotal figure in this movement, for me.  The first time I had heard “Baby Wants To Ride”, it really moved me.  The way the dot matrix synths moved in seemingly Euclidian patterns, the bounce and slight swing of that bass line, and the way the dissonant chords tied it all together.  One listen and you can see where I drew all my inspiration from when making my tune from 2006, “Hot, Raw, Sex”.  Let’s just say that record would have been a lot different without Frankie K.

“Tears”, “Rain Falls”, and “Your Love” among some of the best tracks I found on vinyl in Chicago.  A few of them so popular you could find them at Salvation Army.

What else can I say about Frankie that hasn’t been said this week?  With this track, we celebrate his life, his kindness, his love for music, his inspiration, his passion and all that he gave during his life.  

Thank you Frankie,

Jimmy Edgar

FMM: Tourist feat. Will Heard - I Can't Keep Up (Dub Mix)

Final 15 - A Ghostly 15 Playlist Curated by Michael Cina

"Anyone that knows me, knows that my main passion is music. I spend all day listening to music at work and my vinyl collection of 16k pieces greets me when I get home. I knew about Ghostly International before they contacted me in the early 2000’s and we would write off and on. They used to send me big packages of white labeled vinyl, it was decadent.

Late 2007 I got a call from Ghostly asking if I was up for designing a new single for Dabrye. It was a dream come true and I feel like I found a friend who really understood me. I have had the distinct privilege to design over 100 covers for Ghostly, and that is only the half of it.

When they asked me to do a compilation, I was all about it. I wanted to do three or more compilations because I wanted to segment it up into different sections (Ghostly, SMM and Spectral). It is impossible to reduce the entire label to 15 tracks. Ghostly is dynamic, they don’t fit one sound, genre or idea.

So I approached it as a mixtape of sorts. I tried to find a common thread that spoke to me and create a mood around that idea. Some of my favorite tracks are not on here. JDSY 'Horizon Line' makes my head spin. Choir of Young Believers 'Paralyse' takes me to another place. There are so many more.

What you are hearing some songs that have spoken to me over the years in a distinct way. I don’t feel like they are obvious choices but they all are nothing short of amazing. I hope this compilation helps you see a different side of one of the best labels to ever do it." - Michael Cina

Info:
Nils Penner delivers some vibrant, disco-ish deep house tracks. Space Ranger’s remix is a sublte jackin’ floorfiller and Paskal & Urban Absolutes prove again their fine production skills with their groovin’ deep rework.
As Nils Penner has never really learned an instrument but still feels the urge to express himself musically the plan becomes quite clear in 2006. The damn computer it is and therefore genres that are, at least nowadays, related to the maschine.
Nils starts working with Reason but due to a lack of consequence and skills he only ends up with "tons" of loops. Until in 2007 he meets John Muder and Chi-Thien Nguyen while he works as Graphic Designer for their first imprint "Criminal Records" (now running Suol). The guys become and stay close friends until today.
Showing John some of his loops becomes a fruitful combination and the project Penner+Muder is born. They produce their first demo and Sasse picks 3 tracks immediately for his label Moodmusic. The rest is history. Full length album on Moodmusic, first live gig ever at Panoramabar, gigs all over Europe and some critically acclaimed releases and remixes ...
In 2010 Nils starts wandering on solo ways. He founds his own label Wazi Wazi together with Sasse and (having learned so much stuff from Thien and John) starts to produce his first solo releases.
Until today there a lot more Nils Penner Remixes for people like Luomo, Chasing Kurt, Paskal & Urban Absolutes and singles or exclusive compilation tracks for labels like Freerange and Suol.
Up to date is Nils first release on Exploited called "The Thing", gaining massive support all over the place. Nils played his first solo LIVE set at Watergate / Berlin in May 2014.

If you think of Space Ranger, you think of floor filling disco beats, deep drifting house and warm melodies. Space Ranger lifted off in 2010 with their debut single Star Wash EP featuring the slow-house bomb “Herbal Cake” which immediately reached pole position in the Juno sales charts and stayed there for several weeks. The Album “What about the magnetic fields” followed up in 2011. Since then almost every of meanwhile nine single releases hit the top 5 of the Juno sales charts. Tracks from Space Ranger have been supported by everyone from DJ T. to Aeroplane, Roberto Rodriguez, Kaspar Björke, Osunlade, Mylo, The Revenge, Laurent Garnier, Vampire Weekend, Pete Herbert, The Magican, PBR Streetgang, Peter Visti, James Curd, Hot Toddy, Jimpster, Marcus Worgull, Ilja Santana, Simbad and Jaques Renault, just to name a few.
Combining sophisticated production skills, and a long-term experience of what works on dance floors around the world they know how to move the crowd.

8ths [Scotch Outtake]

As soon as we heard this track we knew we had to sign it. Raw and emotional feel good vibes, perfect for the open air, the end of the night or the break of sunrise. We love the simplicity and wanted the remixes to keep this original idea whilst providing alternative versions for different dance floors. With that in mind we took things a bit heavier with our Audiojack remix and enlisted Jonathan Kaspar to take things deeper with the second mix. 

Solarris explains how the record came together with Secondcity in New York last year “We had been in the studio all day and hit a wall. It was -5 outside and the snow was almost knee high. Just as we were packing up to leave the studio we started jamming out on the euro rack and Oberheim OB8 for a bit of fun as they sound so amazing that I wanted to fly it all home with us. Without realising, a few hours had passed and we were still jamming so we recorded what we were doing and printed everything as it was, all the effects, automation etc was done on the fly and the track is the end result of that. Something very different from both of us that feels more like a recorded performance for me and in a sense, immortalises those few hours we spent having so much fun on that bitterly cold winter night.”

Tania Vulcano, Ivan Smagghe, Terry Francis, Sante, Huxley, Horse Meat Disco, Edu Imbernon, Pirupa, Carlo Lio and Gorge are amongst the supporters of this EP. It’s out today. Audiojack x

The Magician Feat. Jeppe - "I Don't Know What To Do" (Erkka Remix) ***FREE DOWNLOAD***

Bought Some Rick(Prod. by Teflon Kwam)

Touch Of Class is proud to deliver its first digital single of 2017, a springtime gem entitled, “On the Shelf” featuring vocals by the talented, Amelia — recorded and produced by Dan Berkson and James What. The production partners are individually known for making their marks in the underground electronic scene, both with releases on various notable labels including Crosstown Rebels and Poker Flat, while also running their own imprint, Modelmaker Records.

The five track EP consists of the duo’s original single which is laid down with a driving, tantalizing bass line met with the melodic lyrics of North Carolina based vocalist, Amelia. The jazzy rhodes and vocal edits interlace delicately with swung out percussive drum patterns creating a timeless garage-house, summer tune sure to get any dancefloor moving.

“On the Shelf” is accompanied by four eclectic remixes, each satisfying a disparate moment and sound while respectfully preserving the essence of the original record. Brooklyn’s underground house hero, Jovonn, contributes with a stripped down dub version arranged with heavy drums and a simplistic take on the vocal arrangement — an essential tune for any selector. Chicago legend, Roy Davis Jr., follows up with a peak time interpretation, a perfect jam for the club and festival vibes.

The third remix comes from Grammy winning producer and sound engineer, Dave Robertson, also known as Cameo Culture, who after hearing the tune was instantly reminded of an old Matthew Herbert record, inspiring his use of “real” and organic drum sounds. Cameo’s remix evokes this natural aesthetic throughout, artfully recrafting the original arrangement and composition. The final rendition of the release comes from label founders, Michael Tello and Ray Zuniga aka. Signal Flow. The dynamic duo’s lively rendition presents a melodious, yet groovy journey influenced by their diverse musical palettes and Latin heritage.

The imprint kicks off its fourth year as the new and enriched, Touch Of Class Music, with a full and dynamic release schedule to be distributed worldwide on digital format only. Recognized for its selective and sophisticated sound, the label’s catalogue of timeless anthems promises to be appreciated by all music enthusiasts. Stay tuned and be sure to follow Touch Of Class and it’s ever growing roster of international artists and world class releases in the ensuing year.

Dutch psych-rock artiste Jacco Gardner, and production partner in crime, the percussive culprit behind many a twisted tropical beat, Nic Mauskovic, have teamed up for a devilish EP of cinematic, Balearic disco for their debut EP as Bruxas. Wielding a love for the wild and exotic, Más Profundo is a record influenced by the black arts, the sun, and the love of making nostalgic, summertime music.

Fall under a deep, exotic spell with the new project that is Bruxas; a psychedelic journey into the tropics. Together Gardner and Mauskovic are all about pure vibes, and international feel. You will constantly be picking the sand out from the record's grooves, whether you play it on the beach or not. Gardner's self-titled solo project, featuring Mauskovic on drums- has to date, won him many, global plaudits, comparing him to the likes of Broadcast, and Tame Impala. Mauskovic meanwhile garnered himself a reputation for sub-equatorial percussion, featuring in bands such as Altin Gün, Eerie Wanda, and of course, the aptly-titled cumbia, new-wave act, The Mauskovic Dance Band.

Bruxas came together when the two were playing backing band for the 70s James Brown-meets-Black Sabbath act, Witch. Feeling inspired, they began their collaborative musical odyssey by writing new music together in Portugal.

(Bruxas is Portuguese for witch by the way). "It was a combination of things that sparked the idea to start Bruxas," Gardner states, "our love of 70s soundtracks, library music, African disco, and Afrobreat." Mixing together their well-honed percussive rhythms, along with layered synths and the occasional vocal, Bruxas was born; a project less on the side of fuzz-rock, and more on the side of an occultist rhythmic, devil-dance. 

"We both love exotica and electronic music. I was really getting into library music while working on my last album, stuff recorded in the 70s that is difficult to classify, where traces of psychedelia can be found in almost everything. We wanted to make our own mix, and see if we could mold it into a contemporary music project, that’s easy to bring to the stage." - Jacco Gardner

The Dekmantel EP is a kaleidoscope cabinet of curiosities, unearthed from the tropical wilderness. 'Más Profundo' is the deepest of all the treasures, while 'Tropicacovas', with its wistful island ambiance, conga beats and rolling bass, soundtracks the whole affair, before delving into the jungle with 'Selva Cosmica'. Animals gasp as the energy becomes more electric, while the Dutch duo play on, with 'Plantas Falsas'. A true carnival of wild assorts. Drinks are free. Fun, and sunshine, there’s enough for everyone. "Each track is a little journey, some through Africa, others just at a fancy Italian pool party," Gardner says about the EP, "there is definitely a worldly character about them, which ties into the exotica element that connects all the tracks."
