Stump Valley joins Toy Tonics! 
The Italian-Ukrainian DJ and producer duo (based between Turin and Berlin) will release their first EP on Toy Tonics. Stump Valley is an established name in the new disco/underground house and selector scene. They are famous for being among the Italian DJs with most knowledge of „Italo Disco“ and the whole culture of the Italian club and dance world of the 1970ies and 1980ies. (Italy was THE disco and club country in that period).
Their debut album „Natural Race“ was released on Dekmantel in 2019. But they got their first attention much earlier when they released their EP “Magica Movida” on Rush Hour as a tribute to DJ Peppe Afro, an unsung hero of the Italian Cosmic Era from whom they inherited a large collection of records. Following the steps of “Magica Movida”, in 2021 the guys released “Melody Mecca” a tribute to one of the most iconic clubs of the 80’s Italian Afro scene. 
Alexei and Francesco are by now very connected in the dance world. They joined forces with musicians and renowned acts like NuGenea and Peggy Gou. In fact, Alexei tours as an opening act for her DJs sets and also released two EPs under the pseudonym Brain De Palma on Peggy’s label Gudu Records, Francesco is a resident of the Italian diggers crew Ciao! Discoteca Italiana.
Their production reflects the Italo approach to the club culture. Their concept evolves from a dusty warm old school sound into modern aesthetics. 
Everytime EP is a message of love and unity that brings Stump Valley back to the feature with vocals that float in between house and Italo. The first track 'A Bun Dance', reminds of the early New York house but with an Italian approach. The singer is Detroit’s LRenee, already known for her collabs with Omar S on S.E.X., Fit Siegel and many others. On 'Lunatica', a deep italo interlude, we fly to the moon with the Italian vocals of Senatricks. 'Everytime', the title track shows a more euro approach to the house and pay's tribute to Stump Valleys origins with the collaboration of the Ukrainian prodigy Ready in Led that being based in Kyiv during these tough times keeps on spreading love with her languid vocals! Both 'A Bun Dance' and 'Everytime' come with the instrumental versions to gratify the 
instrumental dub purists too.

Stump Valley - Everytime EP [TOYT158]

I got the opportunity to officially remix this classic song to coincide with the release of a new Donny Hathaway box set. I was given the original multitrack master of the studio version (different from the live version)and it consisted of 8 different instrument and vocal tracks (as opposed to the more usual 24 tracks) 
When I take on a remix, my first goal is to make it work on a current dance floor. I like to stay very close to the originally recorded sound and In most case there's plenty to be reworked on the multitrack master to achieve this. 
This case proved a little different as there were few rhythm elements I could use to fit within current standards of club loudness levels. So I decided to take a slightly different approach, and add a new set of (acoustic) drums,  to bend the original Soul vibe a little towards Disco territory. 
This remix is exclusive to my soundcloud page and free to download as a 16bit WAV file

Influential contemporary house tastemaker Prunk is to serve-up his new album Le Funk on his own PIV Records in 2023. The nine track record showcases his mastery of sublime and seductive sounds from across the house spectrum.

Dutchman Prunk has slowly but surely become a real underground mainstay. He has built a fine collective of talents on his own label and spearheaded a new take on house music that is all about real feelings and effortless grooves. His standout solo and collaborative material has seen releases via the likes of Djebali, Key Records, Ewax and of course PIV, while he has headlined clubs and festivals all over the world. Next to this his own often sold out label showcases that have taken place everywhere from fabric (London) to Shelter (Amsterdam) vis The BPM Festival.

Now he makes his most completed coherent statement yet with his adventurous new album Le Funk. It is a distillation of all his influences and many years of house history with plenty of his own fresh signature touches.

Says Prunk - "This album is a tribute to my entire music career. I hope to not only appeal to DJs with my album, but also to house lovers because this album was made with a lot of love. I hope you enjoy it 'for the love of house music'."

One of electronic music's most revered contemporary artists, Archie Hamilton's remarkable rise through the ranks of underground house and techno has earnt him a reputation as one of Europe's originators of the minimal sound. Now he debuts on Defected Records with 'Let The Light In', moving away from his trademark stripped-back sound to explore classic vocal house influences. A full circle moment for Archie, whose humble industry beginnings started as an intern at Defected close to two decades ago, his first release on the London label demonstrates a rich knowledge of the genre. Featuring Manchester vocalist HQA, the EP also features the Garage Dub teased during Archie's set at Paradise Miami during Music Week.

Next up on The Reflex’s official vinyl label DISCOLIDAYS is a two tracker fully licensed from Cerrone via Because Music / Malligator featuring first time ever multi remix from the classic ‘Look For Love’ by The Reflex (the original was released on his Cerrone IV album in 1978) b/w a welcome repress of The Reflex revision of ‘Hooked On You’ (Cerrone #1 remix of all Cerrone remixes on Spotify) that was only available on a super limited 12” back in 2015.
Both remixes have been released digitally by Because / Malligator on the ‘Cerrone x The Reflex’ EP last April, and Cerrone generously granted a licence to The Reflex in order to release it officially on his label DISCOLIDAYS second release.
Cerrone loved the remixes so much that both are now integral part of his Live / DJ set and ‘Look for Love’ will be the only remix done by someone else featured on his forthcoming album ‘Cerrone by Cerrone’ which sees the disco legend revisiting his own back catalogue.
The vinyl went straight to the top of Juno Records overall charts on pre-orders alone, the day before its official release date.
