SWITCH:UP GUEST MIX SERIES 2 - #016 BLND

The next release on Unnamed & Unknown is the latest edition of our VA compilation, Vol. 4. Inviting friends and newcomers from around the globe, we’ve handpicked a selection of tracks that mirror the very essence of our label, and we think you’ll love them too!

Kicking things off, UAE based Billy Sherif showcases ‘Shake Your Body’, a swinging tech cut with sturdy drum work and a prominent bassline, complemented by a gritty lead, subtle synth injections and a catchy vocal. 

‘Gora’ comes next as mrT & SimoV and Tomas Bisquierra take us on a tribal-tinged ride, carving out a hollowed-out terrace tech number. Bouncy low frequencies meet layers of sizzling percs and dreamy leads to create an energetic groover. 

Brad Brunner, Andre Rizo and TAP’s ‘9ine to 5ive’ is next, bringing more low-frequency focused grooviness to the compilation. Another mammoth sub-bass combines with punchy drums and scattered rhythms, making for a delightfully underground affair. 

Chris Brooks has the ‘Funky Feelin’, translating into a nonchalant roller with mountains of cadence and personality. A standout track with offbeat fills and instrumental flair throughout, this one is a guaranteed vibe builder. 

4MATK & Lit Square’s ‘Step It’ cranks the energy dial back up to 11 with an array of hard-hitting components from the word go. Rippling percs and thudding drum work combine with roaring sub-bass for a rambunctious peak time tech bomb with a few disco-inspired tricks up its sleeve.

‘The Tour’ comes next, with Clodoveo and Juan Dragster showcasing their undeniable ability to construct percussive-laden tech groovers that keep you moving. Pulsating bass and an array of perfectly positioned instrumental constructions build a bass for its big-room persona. 

Oravla Ziur’s ‘Champagne In The Backstage’ brings racy rhythms and cutting melodies. A super sturdy beat-base makes the perfect match for its driving energy and frequent crescendos. A track that screams “peak time”, it’s a real head-turner. 

Rafael & Cioutix get ‘Back To Business’ in the vibey-est sense. A stirring terrace cut with tone and ample rhythm, it flies the flag for stripped-back, percussive-focused tech house, capturing a sophisticated level of dancefloor-warming energy from start to finish. 

‘Booty Call’ is the penultimate track on the release, with Jan Kost delivering a bottom-heavy hip-shaker of the highest order. Seductively groovy from the offset, its full-bodied beat and bass combo firmly usher in the rest of its sultry elements - with maximum effect.

CUBALIBRE’s ‘FavouriteJam’ brings the release to a close with a quirky spin. Riveting uptempo beats and dominant sub-bass combine with a hearty vocal cut and shuddering percs to create a high-energy underground cut that breaks the mould of most things you’ve heard in a while. 

We proudly present our VA compilation Vol. 4, out 25th November 2021 on Unnamed & Unknown.

Seeing if you’ve got the appetite for three house tracks pitching zippy 4x4 beats against congested rhythms, algorithms with hiccups and computer data looped into a lather, UK producer Copasetic tells you to open wide and get ‘Greedy’. Notable for a previous contribution to Clarisse’s volume five compilation with the Lucas MB collaboration ‘Bible Killin’, Copasetic won’t leave clubbers going hungry, kicking it to a host of labels serving up his finest ingredients. 
 
The title track piles its plate high and fills the channels with automated grooves, vocals trapped in the commotion, and programmed bumps, shuffles and bufferings. Haphazard on the surface, Copasetic arming himself with a stash of carefully aimed spanners to throw into the works, ‘Greedy’ is essentially a funky deep houser buzzing about the place and coaxing you to get into the music by saying that if it can’t sit still, then neither should you.
 
Resist ‘Resist’?  Not with that slick bassline sliding across the dancefloor, getting windows wound down and loosening your limbs over six minutes. Soulful vocals are integrated into Copasetic’s canvas where the essentials are fractured and on full alert, while straight ahead beats maintain control and provide breathing space.
 
With a touch of Kid Crème funkiness to it, ‘Waste of Space’ shouldn’t be so harsh on itself, a third funky bop housing a hive of activity, characters involved in a dancefloor argument, and a feeling, which sums up the EP, of Copasetic being in charge of some sort of rhythm revolving door slash blender, turning awkward moments into melodic pirouettes, zigzags and overlaps. As Gordon Gekko may have once said, ‘Greedy is good”.
