Its amazing!!!  Could Dance ALL DAY LONG to this!!!  Fire Island Pines!

With release nr. 11, Luv Shack Records are once again eager to exalt the diversity of their releases, while keeping up the quality.

LUV011 is the split EP of the two up and coming electronic music duos "Manhooker" and "Space Echo". Whilst both projects are still relatively new to the scene, they have equally made a stir with their first releases.

Manhooker consists of the two Berliners by choice Tomasz “Guiddo” Switala and Sebastian “Mavin” Magassouba. Their first release appeared on Ostgut Ton´s sublabel 'Unterton' and their second EP was recently released on german heavy hitters 'Sonar Kollektiv' - a collab with ex New Yorker Snax, featuring a remix by Justus Köhncke.

With 'Pushin & Shovin', Manhooker are once again evoking the spirit of classic soulful house hymns. It's an uplifting mix of 90s organs, filtered arpeggios and thick drums all held together by an acid bassline and Mavin´s shimmering vocals. And not to forget the trumpet solo!

The remix of 'Pushin & Shovin' comes from Brazilian wunderkind ROTCIV (who has already remixed Manhooker on their Unterton release). He strips off the smoothness of the original in favor of a more raw and analogue vibe. Its groove seems like a merger of modern electro and classic house, and although ROTCIV´s trademark stabs and pads are used quite ecstatically on this remix, the song structure remains just as strong as in the original.

On The flipside we have Space Echo, the duo of Viennese producer caTekk and (Luv Shack`s very own) Lee Stevens. Their first ever production as a duo was a remix for none other than Austra on Domino Records.

They're offering two equally powerful cuts on the B-side; 'Soul Power' is nothing short of a club burner. A mighty and continuously building ride of funk organs and disco drums, all with a delightfully modern touch. When the vocal kicks in for the first time, ringing in the break, the audience will surely fall into a frenzy when exposed to it! The disco guitars are just the icing on the cake.

'Soul People' takes a slightly more sensual path. Expect dreamy rhodes, dubbed out percussive organs, an almost reggae worthy bassline, a painfully sweet vocal hook and a sharp rhythm that make this track a perfect choice for every warmup, after-hours and daytime set!

With all its ingredients, LUV011 will provide something for everyone who loves electronic music with soul!

Blog tastemakers par excellence House Of Disco return with their third collaborative compilation, teaming up with Hamburg’s acclaimed JEUDI Records for 12 tracks of sublime house, disco and tech tackle.

In the space of just four years and little over 20 releases, Hamburg’s JEUDI Records has established itself as one of the foremost imprints in the world of melodic deep and tech house music. Born from the weekly club night of the same name taking place at their hometown venue Baalsaal (on the infamous Reeperbahn), it’s a label which focuses on quality over quantity, and has showcased music from the likes of Doctor Dru, Adana Twins, Turntablerocker, Sidney Charles and Monte in its short but acclaimed history. Pushing the new breed alongside a smattering of established dons, their riff-fuelled, synth-heavy sounds are encapsulated in their monthly Sceen.fm radio show - and now for the first time in a smoking hot compilation.

House Of Disco are back in full swing after a short hiatus, building on their pedigree that has brought the world music from the likes of Finnebassen, EJECA and Volta Cab over the past two years. With an increasingly busy global DJ schedule, their own parties in London and their own guest mix series bolstering their consistent online curation, they have amassed a sizable, fervent following.

House Of Jeudi makes for a seriously moreish listen, full to the brim of incredibly consistent and charismatic dancefloor delights - with each label picking six tracks. JEUDI’s selection takes us from the moody Reese basslines of Danito & Athina’s Harmony Baby, to Sean Roman’s contemplative I Find Myself and the spooky depths of Camelphat’s 360, while House Of Disco journey through the skippy funk of Roberto Rodriguez’s North Step, HNNY’s delicate Oma Doris, and the slinky disco of LeSale’s Fit Trucker.

Suited just as well to the home stereo as to the dancefloor, it’s an engrossing compilation that’s got plenty to offer for DJs and casual listeners alike, and looks set to cement both labels incredibly solid reps even further.

On the flipside, Pampa’s figurehead takes an expert turn at the controls of “It’ll All Be Over (DJ Koze remix).” The original’s jagged edges are buffed out, and shined up into a gleaming disco house anthem. With its artfully timed strumming breakdowns and cowbell accents, it is an appetising teaser of the forthcoming summer.

Alone from Junior Jack's Album - Trust it

Dancefloors that have been without a Daft Punk record for the past three years should welcome Junior Jack's debut, an album that shares the Punk's love of booming groove. Daft Punk is a decent comparison for Junior Jack's low end, but when it comes to lyrics and melody he's more straightforward, less spacy, and more Armand Van Helden. "Da Hype" is the simple and satisfying highlight, both in its original mix and the vocal mix featuring the Cure's Robert Smith. That Smith's afterthought vocals don't feel tacked on at all is a big surprise on an album that sounds like it could go cliché any minute. Junior Jack's beats are nothing new, but rock-solid enough to keep the nearly innovation-free album in the CD player. Surrounding "Da Hype" with the proven floor-fillers "Stupidisco," "E Samba," and "Thrill Me" means Trust It could be one of the few albums to suffer from too many singles. Plenty of interludes and a couple quirky tracks help deepen the album for the headphones, the jazzy "Alone" being the highlight. That track makes you hungry for more of this emotional Junior Jack, but when he starts dealing in heavy house music again, it's easy to forgive the slick album's shortcomings. More dance artists could stand to suffer from this "too many monstrous anthems" problem. It's got a good beat and you can dance to it — what more do you want? ~ 

Vito Lucente, the DJ/producer who is the sleek house unit Junior Jack, was born in Italy but has lived in Brussels ever since his parents moved there when he was a teen. His first productions appeared in the '90s under the names Mr. Jack, Kaf 'é, and Hugh K. Lucente debuted his Junior Jack moniker in 2000 with the My Feeling single on the Play It Again Sam label. Thrill Me from 2002 and a residency at London's Ministry of Sound with partner Kid Crème put Junior Jack on the map. Soon artists like Bob Sinclair and Moby were hiring Lucente for remix work, and 2003 found Junior Jack's "Make Luv" and "E-Samba" getting massive spins in the clubs, while the In the House label dropped the Junior Jack and Kid Crème mix CD In the House. Nettwerk released Junior Jack's debut full-length of his own productions, Trust It, in 2004, while its single, Da Hype with guest vocalist Robert Smith from the Cure, was climbing dance charts across the globe.

Junior Jack - real name Vito Lucente ­ has been making a funky racket under various guises such as Kafe, Hugh K and Mr. Jack for several years. His brand of beefy basslines and chunky house grooves finding favour a while ago with Erick Morillo, Mousse T and Robbie Rivera amongst others.

His first major hit as Junior Jack was last year's "Thrill Me", an addictive and abrasive tune that got him lazily labelled as a house-punk sensation. This was recently capitalised on with "E Samba", a Brazilian-influenced mega-anthem that kicked dancefloor ass from Brighton to Brooklyn all summer long last year.

These two last tunes have created quite a buzz around the release of Lucente's debut JJ LP, Trust It - an album that promises to quickly eradicate any notion of Mr. Lucente as an electro-clash bandwagon-jumper, or indeed as a suave purveyor of Latino grooves.

As the LP unfurls through Da Hype (which carries on where Daft Punk's "Da Funk" left off), "Stupidisco" (a thin-synth 80s homage) and the melodic brassy sheen of "The Roots", what we learn is that Jack is simply a man very comfortable at the studio controls, a man effortlessly capable of blending his myriad influences into a highly workable house music format.

The second half of the LP takes a few interesting turns. After the reasonable allure of "Alone" (featuring a jazzy guitar lick that for once doesn't sound like a cheap Ronny Jordan rip off), there's the skippety cheese-chug of "Luv 2 You" and then a deep plunge into some unexpected (and much welcomed) heaviness.

Alongside "Thrill Me", there's the wonderfully spasmodic cut n paste job "Do It" and then "Depression", which rides the most menacing bassline on the album fast towards the rave horizon and beyond. The inclusion in and around these and the other album tracks of recorded street sounds, sirens, vocal interludes and radio interference help give the LP an extra narrative sequence and intimacy.

Some optimist's are likening Junior Jack to a new Basement Jaxx. With all due respect, he simply isn't that original. He does have a way with a rocking tune though and his production touches ­ the slickness of the beats, the whirling vortexes of the synths, the elasticity of the basslines ­make for an accomplished and versatile LP.
