My second track is finally completed! Still using sounds straight out of MPC 2 before I dive into sampling over tracks. This time, I avoided using vocals to see if I can keep things interesting without leaning on a voice. I LOVE vocals in a track so this was a challenge for sure but I think it worked out well!

Label: Hakki
Cat No: HAKKI01
Format: 12” Vinyl   					

Tracklist: 
A. Hanine
B. Midan

Mandar’s brand new record label Hakki starts off with a serene and smashing hot record from the Mandar guys themselves. 

‘Hanine’ opens the EP with a sexy groove and rumbling low bassline that just feels like it’s about to burst any moment. The restraint and suspense is kept in check by a beautiful dubby melody and subtle melodic riff’s popping up here and there. The tracks powerful suspense and energy building capacity makes it a perfect after hour tune.

‘Midan’ is a straight forward no bullshit 909 groove with a bassline that will make your granny shiver. A funky acid melody gets layered on top elevating the track quality to that of a song. If Hanine is the foreplay, then Midan is definitely the orgasm.

South East Londoner Luke Osborne has announced his debut single ‘Fell For’ under the new alias, Leaps, set for release on 19th February 2021. 

‘Fell For’ is a straightforward yet frenetic cut, based around breakbeat production and melodic synths. The single comes along with a visual, shot and edited by James Phillips, melding the gritty UK undertones throughout the release. 

This new solo project is an extension of Multi-instrumentalist Osborne’s creativity that has been in the works for the past year. “Over recent years I’d discovered a love for alternative dance music” explains Leaps “At the beginning of last year I found myself experimenting further with vintage synths and sampling. It opened me up to a new soundscape and a more experimental approach”

Having worked with Kwes (Loyle Carner, Kelela), written and produced for the likes of Jodie Abacus, Maeve, Abee and more and supported Chase & Status on tour as part of MOKO’s live band, Leaps also makes up one half of future R&B duo NULA alongside singer songwriter Nadiah Adu-Gyamfi. The long-term collaborators and friends met at Goldsmiths University and have gained plaudits from the industry tastemakers including The FADER, Complex, Hunger, BBC Music Introducing London, BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra. With a NULA release also forthcoming in January by way of Dummy Records, Leaps is set to trailblaze through 2021.

PREMIERE: Leaps - Fell For (Leaps & Bounds)

vi•sion quest (noun): a search for personal communication with the spirit world. 

Every mystical journey eventually comes to a fork in the road. The seeker of life’s destiny has two options: remain satisfied with whatever level of consciousness he has already attained, or push forward into ever-new domains of promise and possibility. 2014 sees dance music’s best-known spiritual pilgrims, the Visionquest trio of Ryan Crosson, Lee Curtiss, and Shaun Reeves, bravely embarking upon that wondrous journey. Each member of this celebrated DJing and production team contributes a distinct yet interlocking vision that together forms a seamless, organic whole. Just think of Crosson’s enthusiastic shuffle, Lee’s soulful stare, Shaun’s soft touch. Everything they craft has the same unmistakable flair: slow-burning, shape-shifting, expansive techno and house marked by compositional elegance and unabashed pop hooks.

Although long-time partner and co-conspirator Seth Troxler has stepped aside to pursue other projects, 2013 was the biggest year ever for the four. Inspired by the passing of the Mayan calendar, the group embarked upon Visionquest 13, 13 dates where the boys not only played together the whole night, but curated a true multimedia experience. From London to Buenos Aires, from the American hinterland to the Chilean wilderness, Visionquest 13 was a Freudian trip into the deepest recesses of the Detroit rave unconscious, what Ibiza Voice described as a “collective expedition into the depths of your soul”—but with a sophisticated, modern twist.

Their accomplishments are well-known and too many to list. For starters: a critically acclaimed 2011 Fabric mix; year-defining hit remixes for artists as diverse as Kiki, Wareika, Tracey Thorn, and David Lynch; showcases and dates in the biggest clubs and festivals around the world; and the creation of a now iconic-label that’s played host to dancefloor weaponry from the likes of Benoit & Sergio, Life & Death, Dinky, and Laura Jones—all this while each member maintained significant individual production and DJ careers. But, by definition, no journey dwells in the past. So in 2014 they launched Visionquest Special Editions, a limited-release, vinyl only label. Evoking the experimental sounds of the European techno avant-garde that first inspired the boys back in Detroit, the debut release, remixes of Montreal songwriter Quilla, features a stunning collaboration between Shaun and long-time hero Ricardo Villalobos. With Visionquest Special Editions we see the group at home at a breezy, gentle afterparty, not just igniting the club. As Visionquest winds around the corner into their bright future, they remain open and excited for what lies ahead.
