The mix, like previous years is split into two parts. Part one is all of the music I've been playing out at clubs, parties and festivals over the year and part two is deeper, reflecting a mellow variety from some of my favourite artists this year. 

We also have two really exciting exclusive tracks on the album. One from the incredibly charismatic and talented electronic soul singer Lulu James and another from the much hyped and mysterious UK producer Route 94.  These two exclusives will be revealed in full over the next couple of weeks.

Words from the Clap:

Gator Boots, pimped out Gucci Suits and a quarter tank of gas in a new E-Class Benz. Sometimes musical rules are just meant to be broken. With no exceptions, here comes GATOR BOOTS, a new imprint born in the true spirit of underground. No holds barred, vinyl only and extraordinarily limited we proudly present bootlegs for the sake of bootlegs. Can you dig it? We KNEW you could!

Gator Boots Volume 1 comes at you live n' direct representing a sonic snap shot of contemporary American pop music, fused with an underground application. "Prototype" might not be the one, but it certainly comes close, leading to ecstatic dancefloor reaction. "Umi Says" shine your light on the world with a deep 4x4 cut that fills the crowd with emotion aka that warm fuzzy feeling. "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" insists that its time to clean up the pimps and the pushers at the same time with breakbeat house beat that's rough and ready for primetime. "Done It Again" explores the softer side of Grace Jones is edited and expanded into blissful moments of psychedelia.

Get your copy before the going's gone and you're stuck playing that discogs game… TRUST!

A2) Umi Says (Nick Monaco Edit) PREVIEW

Kerem Akdag is one of the most exciting and versatile artists that we discovered mid last year, with Moovmnt labelling him as one of the best-comers of 2014. He has also won fans in the form of current house heayweights Detroit Swindle for his low-slung house productions, and this remix of TAJ's single 'Taj Yo'self' cements the fact that Kerem is a name that we would be hearing for a long time to come. It is our blessing to have him on our roster, and we hope you do enjoy this bonus remix.

Singapore, 23rd January: “but do you see what you've been missin'?” Tim De Cotta implores on the opening track, “Taj Yo'self” on TAJ’s “The Astral Journey” EP. Released under local independent record label, Darker Than Wax, the album will officially be released on 30th January 2015.

So what is it exactly that we've been missing? This bitchin brew that was concocted in the studio for almost a year – that features poignant, illustrious pieces which evidently highlight their harmonious unity and talent.

Along with Audrey Tengkey on keys, and JR Teo on drums, local cats of TAJ band is the answer to his question – bringing forth an exciting new venture, a great contribution to Singapore’s contemporary jazz scene.

TAJ’s appeal lies in their creative approach to production and musicianship, unlocking a wide, cross generation appeal, especially among the youths. The Astral Journey is a cross pollination of beats, psychedelia, post-rock, breaks, and everything it takes to please the discerning ears of contemporary jazz musician and listener alike.

“Old Town” is funky wah-wah number, with delicate keys and tight drumming which develops to a breakdown of mellow and psychedelic lead synth, with a fuzzy bass line. “7 DB” is a neutralising post-rock number of dreamy breaks, while “The Astral Journey” is the most “organic” track of the EP - a sexy, stripped down Blue Note number, muddled with an R&B influence that could easily use some vocal company.

“You don't got to worry bout a thing...” Kaye, co-founder of Darker Than Wax, guest croons on the vocoder – a catchy yet calm assurance that this finish is only the beginning. Co-founders Kaye and Funk Bast*rd's production outfit Cosa Nostra's refix of Daydream takes on a 4- to-the-floor house-disco approach, a distinctive sound that is testament to DTW's fledgling roots. Rounding off this Ep is a smooth beatdown remix by our artist Jaël, a multi-faceted musician from Holland, who lays a Dilla-esque vibe on 'TAJ yo self'.

Mark Jenkyns is back onboard the Hot Creations imprint, this time featuring vocalist MC Chickaboo. 12 Stories (Mark & Chris Sylvester) are on remix duty for their debut on the label, and what a killer release it is!

‘On Me’ oozes with funk, groovy basslines and sonic madness, perfect additions to the Hot Creations catalogue and proving each of the artists involved know exactly what works on the dance floor. Getting heavy support from Jamie Jones & Richy Ahmed & Lee Foss, it looks like another hot-hitter from Hot Creations.

Mark hooked up with MC Chickaboo in light of her legendary work she did with Ewan Pearson & DJ Wildchild.  MC Chickaboo is a female drum and bass DJ and rapper from London. In 2002 she shot to fame when her collaboration with Timo Mass went to number one on the Billboard chart.

12 Stories is the fresh duo Mark Jenkyns and Christopher Sylvester and they will be making their full debut on Hot Creations early this summer..

Grandtheft’s showcases his finesse in his new Quit This City EP. While Quit This City stays true to the club sound we know and love from Grandtheft, the collaborations and features are far-ranging and diverse. Each of the 6 tracks adds a new sound, dimension but artfully weaves together to create the EP’s enticing narrative. The title track Quit This City sets the tone and imparts a rejuvenating sincerity and honest quality that is rare nowadays. This EP is the perfect way to welcome Fall with its richer melodies & deeper basslines.

Secret Value Orchestra est un jeune groupe parisien et d’après leurs propre mots un « live house band ».
Après un premier EP intitulé ‘Serious Intentions’ sorti sur D.KO Records en 2016 , un passage au Weather Festival 2015 invités par Le Camion Bazar, et de nombreuses dates à travers la France, ils s’apprêtent à sortir leur premier album au printemps 2017 intitulé ‘Unidentified Flying Object’.  Le groupe est composé de Larry Houl à la voix, Flabaire à la basse, Paul Cut au clavier, ainsi que Mud Deep et Monsieur Popo aux boîtes à rythmes. Ils créent à eux cinq une atmosphère house tintée de funk, de jazz et de soul.

Church label boss Seb Wildblood lends his talents to Omena Records for a mini LP with a cheeky title of ‘:~^’, featuring the soothing house sound of ‘Wet Summer’.

With grainy atmospherics, Wildblood lays the foundation for a steady house rhythm and melodic riffs highlighted by whimsical tones and subtle vocals. He’s been known to produce a variety of styles and ‘Wet Summer’ seems to broaden his output. 

Mixmag reached out to Wildblood who described the process of producing the mini LP: “This is a collection of tracks I've been working on over the last year or so, most of the music I produce and also release on the labels has a nostalgic feel to it, this record is no different. Hopefully there's something for every occasion, the club, cooking dinner, walking the dog... that's the hope anyway.”

Seb Wildblood’s ‘:~^’ LP is set for release in the coming months via Omena Records.
