Belgian duo Chassé keep the acclaimed Black Jukebox series rolling with a 4-track EP that pays homage to classic US house sounds in accomplished style.

'Fake Real' kicks off with sunny abandon, all breezy piano chords and synth sax creating an authentic early-'90s NYC house vibe over plump plucked bass and lazily skipping percussion. Deep pads, bright strings and delicate synth arps bring the atmospheric edge. 

'People Dancing' ups both the chonk and swing factor, getting more jaunty with its live piano chords and lilting rhythm. Hazy, filtered electric piano chords swoon over classic drum hits, the deep and the pumping meeting in perfect harmony.

'Nightlife' takes snatches of classic house vocal and peppers them between melancholic chord samples and dramatic snare hits, and a tense breakdown that exacerbates the subtle qualities of this soulful stomper. A few carefully placed organ notes are all that's needed to draw the most out of the cool bassline funk.

'True Game' rounds off this delicious EP, finding itself somewhere between the classic US house vein and the French touch era, where graceful pads cut against jazzy organ chords, pitched-down vocals, garage snare patterns and seductive bass throbs.

Chassé - Shir Khan Presents Black Jukebox 34 (Exploited)(Preview)

We played our first club set under our Attic @atticsydney guise for a little over two years!  (Hey, a pandemic might just do that.)

For the occasion, we partnered with the fine folk at No Place Like House @noplacelikehouseaus, welcoming seasoned French house stalwart, Art of Tones @llorca, as part of his very first Australian tour.  A great booking and an even better bloke!

(And, geez, we'd missed the Civic Underground—our home away from home since Attic's inception.)

We opened the evening and were gifted a deliciously lengthy two-and-a-half set to get things underway.  We kicked off with our signature warm-up fodder and built things up on the housey tip as the room began filling up and feet started moving en masse!

Within you'll hear originals, remixes and releases from a selection of our favourites, including Junktion @junktionmusic, Local Talk @localtalk, Tropical Disco Records @tropicaldiscorecords, I Gemin @i-gemin, SlothBoogie @slothboogie, Jehan @jehaan, Sondrio @sondrio, Hotmood @hotmood, Sune @emilsunesson, Scruscru @scruscru, Never Dull @neverdullmusic, Dam Swindle @damswindle, Ed Wizard @dave-allison, Dan Kye @dankyemusic, Felipe Gordon @felipe-gordon, Kevin Over @kevin-over, Demuir @djdemuir and Tilman @tilman—to name just a few!

We hope you dig this one!  We've had another taste and you can bet that there is plenty more to come in the near future! ;)

Live at No Place Like House ft. Art Of Tones (22nd July, 2022)

Italo-House classic “Tumbe” released in 1992 on Irma Records with Murk edits is here again with new fresh remixes.
Cesare Collina aka Tito Valdez and Umberto Damiani join forces 30 years ago to make “The big nowhere” version; with percussions played by Cesare, tropical voices and trancy pads.
On the remixes duties we have legendary Riviera hero Ricky Montanari, Dirty grooves master LTJ and the young House head Hill.
Ricky found an unreleased remix jam of “Tumbe” he did in the 90s with his classic Riviera Traxx groove which doesn’t need any presentation.
LTJ made a slow version with his unique beat, accompanied by atmospheric pads, lovely electric guitar riff and classic Rhodes.
Hill made a Paradise mix with dreamy Pianos, funky bassline and old school strings which goes to close this record in the best way.

* INTERVIEW : https://boltingbits.com/mixed-by-tee-mango/

The term "Renaissance Man" is one that Tom Mangan must be familiar with by now.  By day, Tom juggles a popular clothing brand Millionhands and a thriving family life. By night,  Tom moonlights as Tee Mango, an artist and producer with a decades long career and acclaimed works to his name; illustrious mainstays such as Caribou, Leon Vynehall, Tim Sweeney, and the Studio Barnhus team have all shown Tom support, and it's easy to see (or hear) why.

Tee Mango has every finger on the pulse of what makes a dancefloor shake, and his latest remix for Bill Brewster and Ray Mang's latest Mang Dynasty release, Crash The Box, further confirms this. We now have the absolute pleasure and delight to chat a bit with Tom about the stepper, as well as his path up to now and where it may lead next.
