Monika Christodoulou has been writing and performing her original songs on the Athens, Greece music scene since she was a teenager. After early breakout success with a string of deeply emotional self-recorded tracks posted online, Monika's 2008 debut LP was a platinum seller in her homeland, and she quickly became a major concert draw across Greece and Cyprus, headlining all the major festivals. Her second LP, released in 2010, continued Monika's success at home, but she was already becoming restless, for a different sound and a new direction. On a trip to New York in 2012, Monika made a pilgrimage to Daptone Records' Brooklyn headquarters, to see where some of her favorite artists recorded -- from Sharon Jones to Amy Winehouse and Mark Ronson. Almost on a whim, Monika knocked on the door, and Homer Steinweiss (founding member of the Dap-Kings & Menahan Street Band) answered. Soon she was playing demos she had on her phone for Homer and Thomas Brenneck (MSB, Budos Band, etc). The connection was immediate, and the next stage of Monika's career began. 

The whole of 2014, Homer and Monika worked together on her songs and her sound, and together they shaped what was to become Secret in the Dark (out Oct. 2, 2015 on Other Music Recording Co.). Recorded at Steinweiss and Brenneck's Dunham Sound Studios in Brooklyn, with Homer producing, Brenneck recording, and a band that included most of the Menahan Street Band, and various members of the Dap-Kings, Antibalas, and others from the Daptone family, the album puts Monika's incredible voice and talents as a songwriter and performer into a completely new context, and also pushes Homer and the band in directions they have rarely explored before. A mix of organic '70s-styled leftfield disco, '80s art-pop, and much more, Secret in the Dark is a distinctly New York album with a breezy Mediterranean heart. It's soulful, arty, and a ton of fun -- a dance record that is much more than that, and will serve as the introduction to the world of the amazing artist and personality that is Monika.

It’s sometimes good to keepadmirers at a distance. For her “come-back” album, Brisa Roché followsthis rule to the letter.Afterfour albums in France, she returned to her native California—not the one with six-lane highwaysand palm trees, but the one up north, where mountain lions roam,and sequoias tower. There, hiddenin  her  home-studio,  she  channeled  song  after  song,  inspired  by  tracks  arrivingfrom producersall over the world. Some sent sound hoping to re-provoke songwriting in the vein of jazz-singer-Brisa freshly arrived in France the moment the Twin Towers fell, who haunted the stages of Parisian caves with ahigh shadowy voice, forcing journalists to compare her to Billie  Holiday.  Others  sent  what  revealed  a  preferencefor  theavant-gardismof  “Mystery Man” off ofher first record on Blue Note, that transported fans withpop as daring as it was sweet. Still other composers sent tracks they hoped would prolong the sound they loved in her hits “Whistle”and “Call Me”, from her psych-folk period.But  of  course,  Brisa  did  not  revisit  the  past.  She  invented  a  future,  a  space-time  exercise, creating songs  across  thousands  of  miles,  across  musical  genres,  where  a  voice  springs  as easily  from  a  computer,  an  applauded  stage,  ora  virgin  forest.  The  album  INVISIBLE  1  istitled  such  because  anythingis  possible  when limitations  imposed  by  astudio setting are discarded,  when  judgments  and  timidity  are  veiled  by  distance,  when  collaborations multiply  across  the  waves,  when  intimacy  with  strangers  makes  art. Brisawrites  quickly, urgent  with  the noveltyof  imported  sounds  and  privacy,  40  melodic  arrangements,  40 stories told, narrowed down now to a 14-song album with two sides, upon which two sides of her personality dance.The “introvert side” nestles on Thibaut Barbillon’s intimate guitars and soaring chords, the singer a dreamer and an insomniac, giving herself up in confession. As if escaped from a girl group, she invites us to walk with her, or to lock ourselves in her room withher.The “extrovert side”, sunnier with a more electronic feel and Blackjoy at the control panel, features  ideas  from  co-producer  Marc  Collin  (Nouvelle  Vague,  Yasmine  Hamdan,  Elodie Frégé...), upon which Brisa’s voice is amplified, playful as a Kate Bush, serious as a Lana Del Rey.This  production,  free  from  all  constraints,  between  continents,  out  of  French  studios, American  studios,  home-studios, underground  studios,from  Paris  to  the  American  West, gives us a new Brisa Roché. At  this  hour  of  the  death  of  the  great  British  chameleon  David  Bowie,  when  formatted records reign supreme, it’s a pleasure to see and hear an artist who stuns us with her daring art of metamorphosis.

OOFT! - Love & Soulsaving (Original Mix)

Marking the return of The Young Punx after a two year hiatus, Hal Ritson has teamed up with fellow producer, Thomas Gandey AKA Cagedbaby for Loving You Baby.

Featuring the immaculate vintage soul vocals of DTale, Loving You Baby delivers a declaration of summer haze and heady nights with a fresh and timeless groove that echoes both the pace of underground house, and the atmosphere of Motown and northern soul. 

Having previously provided lead vocals for hits by Sub Focus, Sigma, Philip George and The Chemical Brothers, DTale’s talents are the perfect complement to the track’s restrained uber-cool vibe. 

Since the release of 2014 album All These Things Are Gone, The Young Punx’ Hal Ritson has busied himself co-writing and co-producing behind the scenes for the likes of Duke Dumont, Sigma, Cassius, Flux Pavillion and Katy Perry. 

Gandey’s Cagedbaby project has released numerous singles and an album on Norman Cook’s Southern Fried label. As Thomas Gandey he has released many respected club tracks on labels such as Get Physical, Crosstown Rebels, Suara and OFF. The track is mixed by Grammy award winning mix engineer Wez Clarke.

The Young Punx and Thomas Gandey first met in a Karoake bar in Osaka in 2009 where Gandey managed to kill their laptop by filling it with glitter. They have remained good friends ever since and sometimes release punk records together under a secret alias.

After more than a decade of silence – no gigs, no music, no nothing – Gramme return with their debut album Fascination.  The cult around the band and their lone release, the Pre-Release EP, continued to grow until in 2011 some mysterious 12" bootlegs of Like U began to appear, with edits by Joe Goddard of Hot Chip. A few months later self released white labels begin to circulate with new Gramme material. Those recent EP's have gone on to form Fascination, the first full studio album by Gramme.

With summer finally making its presence felt, Payfone makes its Leng Records debut with a simmering, sunset-ready sizzler that oozes drowsy heat from start to finish. It’s a slow-burn dancefloor beauty all right, but we expect nothing less from Anglo Italian Phil Passera and his growing band of musical collaborators.

Since making their debut with the brilliant “International Smark” back in 2013, Payfone has delivered a swathe of superb singles which cannily combine elements of boogie, disco, NYC proto-house, acid house and Balearica in uniquely alluring ways. Passera has a reputation for using no samples in his creations, instead favouring live instrumentation, classic electronic hardware and ear-catching vocals.
 
Since we last heard from Payfone, Passera has moved his studio from his East London warehouse to a wooden shack in Sant Celoni, a sleepy Catalonian town near Barcelona nestled in the foothills of the Montseny and Montnegre mountain ranges. The inspiration of his new surroundings is clear on this warm, groovy and undeniably picturesque composition.

“Last Night In San Celoni” is a  love letter from two girls meeting and falling in love amidst the tumbling streets and dramatic views of this little-known town just a few miles up the Mediterranean coast from Barcelona.

Featuring the innocent, under stated singing of Los Angeles’ based Jaz James and the seductive Spanish speech of Beunos Aries-based Lumdilla Rodriguez, the duo narrates a romantic, bilingual love story that will melt your heart. Incidentally, it could well be the first (partly) English-language song dedicated to Sant Celoni, but don’t quote us on that.
 
Musically, Payfone is in fine form on “Last Night in San Celoni” where Phil Passera offers up a warm and humid chunk of soft-touch dancefloor bliss underpinned by a combination of vintage analogue drum machine, 1980s style slap bass, rich electric piano motifs, and casually brilliant jazz guitar flourishes provided by regular Payfone guitarist Royce Wood Junior.
 
This result of years of collaborative work  (this song began as a keyboard riff written in a New York studio in the heatwave of 2014), the track’s sumptuous groove seems to gently tug at the senses like the lapping waves on a Baleric Mediterranean beach at Sunset.

The original mix comes accompanied by a more up-beat interpretation by Swiss stalwarts In Flagranti. Opting to fatten the groove whilst dubbing out many of the assembled musical elements, the experienced duo brilliantly wraps lo-fi synthesizer lead lines and 1980s package holiday pop flourishes around a chugging, low-slung groove that will have even the laziest dancers skipping towards the dancefloor.
