The South London based Church imprint continue their output of quality house and techno music with the next instalment of their white label series from neighbour Laurence Guy. According to his bio, Laurence was “raised by strippers in the dressing room of a Chicago lapdancing club with only a stack of Prince records for company.” While we can’t confirm that, the maker of punchy house music has certainly got our attention. Taken from his upcoming EP of the same name, i-D exclusively share Kojak. The smooth summertime jam eases you in with the gentlest of percussion, synth whirs and chimes, before drums and blissfully distorted bass holds your hand all the way to groove town. Press play.

                4th Sign - Eloge de la Lenteur Part Two
For their next release, the Parisian label Ondulé Recordings hits hard with a new project : 4th Sign. A 2 parts LP to introduce their genuine world…
The story of 4th Sign. Two long time friends & producers Joss Moog & Around7, with common background & influences, and the same love of original samples & genuine loops. This project seemed to be obvious.

Then as the title (Eloge de la lenteur) suggests; take your time, enjoy and let the music play!!
If you think that groove & pleasure is not a BPM matter and you can say a lot in just 4 bars, 
we're sure you'll appreciate the trip...
This is also just the first step of the journey. You'll be hearing from 4th Sign again very soon...

Felipe Gordon from Bogota is one of THE names right now in the jazz infected house & broken beat scene that is growing so much these days. This is his 2nd EP on Toy Tonics and its a step forward for him musically: he started to include more vocals and worked with colombian vocalist Paula Pedraza. Gordon’s music is special: with his background as a colombian (with that great heritage of musicianship that the country has) and as a indie rock musician (he used to play in bands for years) - he has a very own vibe. His tracks have much more groove than lot of the sample based stuff you get to hear currently.. and his production style is more variable and musically interesting than lots of other stuff outside. Check these 4 new tracks. Especially the 2nd tool, wich adds some freshness to the current disco vibe: Binging in a punkfunk bassline that could have been made in 2005 from Disco-Not-Disco artists like Chicken Lips, Headman or Playgroup. This is Post - 90ies - Revival music :)
Be ready for Felipe Gordons hottest year in 2020. With releases on Heist and Local Talk also to come after Toy Tonics.
