Nice track! Too bad not on Bandcamp at the moment....

Did someone order a sun drenched house edit in time for the weekend ahead? We premiere Cedarwood State Trax's edit, which is available for a free download via their Bandcamp.

Solu Music's 'Fade' recorded back in 2001 was initially recorded as an underground house record, but 5 years later in 2006 it was released and became somewhat of a radio anthem and a summer favourite. Fast forward 15 years and 'Fade' has been given a cheeky breaks makeover from the Dublin based duo, Cedarwood State Trax.

Cedarwood State Trax is a DJ and production duo born in the not-so-leafy suburbs of South Dublin, consisting of music and Penney’s underwear aficionados alike; Liam Doherty and Caolan Cooke. 

Having both been honing their craft at the helm of digital audio workstations for the better part of the past eight years, all the while bouncing ideas off one another and working together to collectively improve their skills, 2018 was the year Liam and Caolan decided to formalise a creative synergy by establishing the Cedarwood State Trax project. 

While it’s clear from much of their output that both Liam and Caolan have a vast insight to, and love affair with, the world of House, inspiration for the sonic makeup of their productions comes from much further afield than just that. It’s not difficult to derive youthful obsessions with trance in their music, as is evidenced by the importance placed on melody in much of their work, as well as a shared love of bass weight and percussion-driven genres like garage, drum & bass, jungle and hardcore. This entanglement of various musical insights culminates in Cedarwood State Trax’s unmistakable sound. 

The rise of Cedarwood State Trax has been indisputable from the get go. They have become known for their consistent slew of releases, a lot of which have been offered to the world for a small sum of free ninety nine, putting shame to the age old proverb of quality over quantity. A little over a year ago, they also established their own imprint ‘Out Of Stock’ which became an outlet for them to put their stamp on their own material, with some of their most impressive work to date finding a home on the imprint.

They are not completely solitary in their release outlook, however, having released on labels like Koma Records, Talamh Records, The Basement Discos, RiotTrax and more, plus a physical release on Sharpson’s Choki Biki label for their first various artist release alongside some stellar company of fellow Irish artists. 

And for those wondering - yes, their name is an ode to the line of male undergarments brought forth to the world by discount retail mammoth Penneys (or Primark to our not-so-distant neighbours). Never has the term “this tune will blow the Cedarwood States off ye” been more apt.

You can listen all day and night to Solu Music - Fade [Cedarwood State Trax Edit] via our SoundCloud page, plus download it for FREE over on the Cedarwood State Trax Bandcamp page.

Four Four Premiere: Solu Music - Fade [Cedarwood State Trax Edit]

Every now and again you hear a record that sits beautifully between two worlds. Pretty Girl’s latest serve shape shifts between moody club runner and headphone escape route. A versatile cut that’ll give its listeners the opportunity to dance in the dark or stretch out on the couch and smile.  Accompanying the release, comes two frenetically charged remixes from our Gadigal land friend Human Movement and fellow Naarm companion DJ Life.

PREMIERE: Pretty Girl - Sun Phase (Human Movement Remix) [GLRY005]

FLASH - Melbourne breaksmonger @ekzander returns with the new EP Overexposure that goes from manic to monstrous. Hypnobody vibrates and draws you in with a magnetic contrast. Soaked vocals and melancholic chords bring in the rain over twitching bass and heavy breaks. A metaphor for the struggle between fear and yearnings of the heart.

@samalfred567 delivers a groovy speed garage remix of closing track Retripped. With chirps in an alien language and slide synths that take you straight to Mars, you'll feel right at home in the club when you're locked into this.

A native of Galway, KETTAMA has spent the past couple of years rising through the tricky ranks of the Irish electronic music scene with his multiple residencies on the West and East coasts. However, his biggest claim to fame so far has been the online presence he has built across a range of different music communities online. What has happened since has been nothing short of breathtaking; his blend of hefty kicks with catchy riffs and stabs has given the house world a new ‘one to watch’ and he has certainly given everyone a good show to look at thus far.

Last year being his best year to date with his release of Bucklyn Bridge on Brookyln's HOMAGE, KETTAMA has no intention of slowing down in 2019. Joining the likes of powerhouses such as Demuja, Adryiano, Loods, and Harrison BDP, KETTAMA has recently decided to collaborate with UK label Shall Not Fade to come out with a new record titled Eastside Avenue.

Today, we are sharing one of the originals from the 4 track EP and it's called "Falling Down." Featuring generous applications of floor shattering bass and old-school Acid house synth work, the Irish lad is able to put together a high-energy chune that has "peak time" written all over it. We do not always post bangers of this variety on Bolting Bits, but when we do, they are usually top notch...and this certainly lives up to the standard.

Eastside Avenue is set for release on April 12th. You can bet that it's sure to fly off the shelves.
