Mark Broom - Frontline Original Mix

This player had been on Team D-Vine’s Radar for sometime … Smashing the scene in the US and rolling through Europe & the UK, Dantiez Saunderson is a name you won’t be forgetting.
First up with RedRoom which has a rolling tribal vibe, a mind over matter firm piece of production, main room heavy sounds, followed by Everywhere U go, with the unmistakable vocals from Khila, undeniable fresh beats but with that 90’s RnB flava that resonates with any head. With killer tracks on board like this we felt it fitting to keep it in the familia and get our Golden Boy Curtis Gabriel on remix duties who delivers a more deeper cut but keeping it in the true Curtis Gabriel vibe.

The influential No.19 Music marks its 10th year in 2018 with a raft of incredible music set to propel the imprint to its 100th release by year end. As part of this celebration the label are delighted to welcome pioneering house producer Satoshi Tomiie for a very special new EP that comes with a remix from the fantastic Dana Ruh. Japanese born Tomiie is best known for his enduring hit Tears with the late Frankie Knuckles, but since then has continued to produce and remix a wealth of essential tracks. Always imbuing his music with a real sense of musicality that stems from his background as a student of classical piano and jazz, he also runs his own Abstract Architecture label and has released on the likes of Kerri Chandlers Kaoz Theory and Holic in recent years. His hybrid DJ setup mixes traditional DJing with analogue modular synths and that innovative and impromptu style carries over to his recorded productions. First up here is the mighty Resonant, a nine-minute house track that is forceful and attention grabbing from the off: it has heavy kicks and rumbling dub chords rolling out to an infinite horizon, with razor sharp hi hats and resounding claps taking it into techno territory as filters add dynamism to the pads. Its a heavyweight roller to get the floor marching as one and is certain to do just that each time it's dropped. Then comes the immediately appealing Bassline, taking its title one suspects from the old school Chicago b-line which features as its main hook. As it rides up and down the scale, slick kicks and icy percussion flesh things out and vocal yelps break out every so often to add fuel to the fire. Its a timeless classic from the off. The package is closed out with a stunning remix from the hugely talented Dana Ruh. Ruh has built an enviable reputation over the past decade, recording for the likes of Cocoon, Ostgun Ton & Underground Quality as well as her own Brouqade label and touring the world consistently, with appearances at Tresor, Amnesia and Pacha. Here she flips Bassline into a punchy, kinetic house cut with swirling pads and muted chords that manage to be warm and driving at the same time, delivering a standout remix that is certain to make its mark in the months to come. This is a high impact and atmospheric EP that is designed to make dance floors take note.

INTERNATIONAL ANYTHING - RUNNING IN THE UNDERWOOD - INCL. MICHAEL MAYER REMIX - COR12160

Cocoon Recordings has never been shy about pitching curve balls to the crowd. It also has an instinct for knowing what we want, even before we do! So here we are, with both these concepts in full effect in the form of International Anything’s „Running in the Underwood“. Markus Nikolai and Ole Schulte’s fledgling project has already featured on both Cocoon and Nikolai’s ubiquitous Perlon imprint and the Frankfurt/Berlin axis represented by these two heavyweight labels is perfectly encapsulated in this ‘summer anthem in the making’. 

Just like the recent „Disco Rout“ remix package, „Running in the Underwood“ channels the vibe of the early 2000s, one of the most creative and influential periods in German electronic dance music where some of the most influential genres momentarily converged. This release not only recaptures that moment  but emboldens it with state of the art technology that lifts it to another level. The low slung, smoldering intro suggests producers supremely confident in what lies ahead. The track creates intensity and momentum with sparse machine funk allowing maximum space for the dusty electronics to perform their elegant gymnastics while the hypnotic, cut-up dada logic of the vocals worm their way into your mind. 

It’s a pleasure to welcome back the iconic Michael Mayer on remix duties, who  turns in a peak time bomb with a significant amount of bounce to the ounce. Ring shifting electro beats slowly deconstruct into a booming 4/4 rhythm that carry the nervous staccato synths and surgically dissected vocal snippets forward. Mayer also let’s fly with a rampaging old school bass line that leads in and out of the swirling breakdowns for maximum dancefloor pressure. Safe to say it’s an entirely different trip that perfectly compliments the original, taking it into uncharted and totally unrestrained territory.

„See Where You Are“ is another song based groove utilizing a loose, swaggering bass riff designed to disorientate and disrupt. Disobedient synth lines trip the light fantastic while the monotone vocals speak the language of the dance floor, creating a classic interplay between rhyme and rhythm. Over time, everything crystallizes into a more solid arrangement giving the track a deeper, more self-reflective atmosphere through its lavish analogue instrumentation. It’s a point that shouldn’t be overlooked, scratch below the obvious dance floor appeal of International Everything and you’ll find masterful sonic sculptures at work.
