Joe Cleen - Routines EP

APPAREL PREMIERE: Joe Cleen - Every Little Thing [Sloth Boogie]

Dam Swindle delve deep into the Salsoul Records impressive back catalogue to present another two fresh, exciting remixes and edits of two of the label’s classics - Double Exposure ‘Everyman’ and Kongas ‘Kongas Fun’, released on 27 August. 

Following the duo’s acclaimed Vol.1 of remixes and edits of First Choice ‘Let No Man Put Asunder’ and Kebekelektrik ‘War Dance’, Dam Swindle immediately selected Double Exposure ‘Everyman’ because “the original had everything in it to get a classic Dam Swindle treatment”. Their remix takes the original up a tempo, yet still showcases the swirling strings and deliciously soulful Double Exposure vocals.

As with Kebekelektrik ‘War Dance’ from Vol.1, Dam Swindle chose Kongas ‘Kongas Fun’ which is a side project of Cerrone who, like Gino Soccio, was “so influential in the history of disco”. The vibrant, shimmering update is packed full of energetic percussion and proves why Dam Swindle chose to rework this lesser-known delight.  

Since forming in 2011, Amsterdam-based Lars Dales and Maarten Smeets aka Dam Swindle quickly broke through the electronic music scene. They have become known for their widescreen approach to making and playing club-ready grooves. From deep to disco, tech to soul, they join the dots between the past and the present with their own sense of storytelling and do so in clubs around the world, and in their own studio. 

Salsoul Records was founded in 1974 in New York by the Cayre brothers and represented names such as Loleatta Holloway (Love Sensation), First Choice, Instant Funk, Joe Bataan, The Salsoul Orchestra and produced some of the most sampled and beloved records of all time.

Saint Wax has been on a bit of a golden run with their releases over the last year. Keeping them nice and regular but not overdoing teh release schedule they have managed to keep the quality sky high with 12's from label boss Gledd, The Funk District / Vagabundo Social Club and now a brand new double header 12 from Soulcheeba / Rob Castillo. 

Yet again it's a very special slice of black wax. Our premier today is the stunning I Made One Myself by London's Soulcheeba. Deep soulful and packed full of groove it's a track which just gathers you up in it's warm embrace, guides you to the middle of dancefloor and holds you tight among the  throng of pulsating bodies as the party goes off all around. Pretty incredible stuff.

Release Text:
After the big success of our first EDIT SERIES with German chief DELFONIC, Nómada Records feels like doing a new edit series in order to keep paying a homage to the roots of HOUSE MUSIC. Nómada Records joins forces again with Marcus Lindner a.k.a DELFONIC to present DELFONIC EDITS Pt. II where genres such as Disco, Afro, Funk, and Boogie are the strong dish. As we know DELFONIC has created and managed plenty of labels and released music on well known labels such as Money $ex Records, Oye Records and Toy Tonics.

DELFONIC EDITS is a four track EP which opens with “Don’t Stop Dancing” a 70’s fresh dance track with a infectious pecussion, strong strings, warm synths and powerful vocals followed by “Into The Stars” a brazilian bombshell where boogie and funk match perfectly. Perfect track for chilin and start the night. The B-Side is a homage to afro funk and dance scene “Let The Music Take Control” a 70’s eclectic dance turned into an infectious deep mood dj that will make you dance all night long. and last but no least the release close with “Into The Galaxy” it’s an edit of one of the funkiest track ever made by rare disco rock band “WAR”.

With Lukas Lehmann, a new face joins the footjob-squad. Out of his estimated 7.436 unfinished projects, he managed to complete three tracks, bag a remix and bundle it all up to what will hit the stores as 'This Is Why' EP. The A-Side kicks off with the discoish banger 'Q&H' and a beautiful synth-heavy remix by Lorenz Rhode - not only famous for his releases on Compost Records or Exploited but also for taking Detroit-Swindle-Liveshows to another level with his godlike keys-skills. The deeper side of Lukas' sound is represented on the B-Side. Starting with edgy piano chords, 'Solid/Fragile (Coexistence)' introduces an enchanting arpeggio midway through the track. With its distinctive strings, 'Nothing But A Heartache' makes for a semi-sentimental yet still hips-moving finisher.

HSM PREMIERE | Unknown Artist - One For Xsuxsu [Ltd, S/Sided]

Joel Holmes is a phenomenon that fits perfectly into the musical scenario of the next years. 35-year-old American jazz pianist and 4 times Grammy nominated. He was the musical director of Carl Craig’s Synthesizer ensemble as well as the keyboarder in legendary Grammy wining band of Roy Hargrove (the IT jazz artist from the late 1990ies, who later died.) 

Holmes is always hunting for the new, so he moved to Berlin a few years ago. Being interested in what’s happening in that new dance world. Similar to Jazzers from the 1970ies like Herbie Hancock and Quincy Jones who turned into disco stars Joel, the jazzer wanted to connect with the new Berlin electronic scene. He succeeded, teamed up with upcoming London house kid Cody Currie and the Toy Tonics crew who is working on new sounds in Berlin that connect the organic and jazz musicians scene with the dance and house world. Developing a new style of Jazz-House… (that has nothing to do with sampled jazzy‘ house! If you know what we mean). 

Joel and Cody Currie released 2 EPs that had a good buzz mainly in the UK and USA. Big support from the Worldwide FM and BBC Radio world as well from tastemaker DJs such as Bradley Zero, Gilles Peterson and Masters at Work.

While working on these EPs Joel created a kind of new jazz-dance universe around him in Berlin. He curates a bi-monthly jam session in an underground location where the crème de la crème of the international ex-pad -musician scene meet up. Joel became THE MAN to hang out when American musicians come to Berlin. Like when Erykah Badu was doing her Berlin gig in Berlin in 2019, after the show all the band moved to Joel's place to have a legendary jam session. Yes, there is a lot of happening in the new Berlin Jazz meets Electronic scene. And Joel Holmes is in the center now.

So it’s time for a Joel Holmes Solo EP. The EP was recorded in a couple of jam sessions. Later reworked and co-produced by Kapote and Sam Ruffillo and mixed by Justin Vanderfolgen from DFA in New York.

It’s a big step for Joel Holmes. He started to sing in a very smooth, deep way. He wanted to make dance tracks that have a song structure and should not be too static, but still be playable in good DJ sets. And that's what you get: A Lot of Soul. Deep House vibes in a New York style and Joel's skills as a keyboarder.

Joel Holmes is a phenomenon, for sure. And this EP could be a manifesto for what he is doing in Berlin now.
