Miguel Graca & Ladybird - All I Wanna Do (MG's Vibedub) [Viva Recordings] [MI4L.com]

Out Now On Viva Recordings:

1.   Into U
2.  Into U (Jay Tripwire Deependub)

.
Viva Recordings looks toward London-by-the-Sea for an expressive new single from Brighton’s veteran DJ force-of-nature Magnus Asberg. After a thirty year history behind the decks, in the studio, and organizing hundreds of debaucherous parties, Magnus’s ear for quality sounds has held the respect of those in-the-know for a long while. Under his own name as well as through this pseudonym C-Soul, Magnus has released tunes with an esteemed group of labels including DIY Discs, Plastic City, Ornate Music, and his own Romana Records.

Magnus’s latest for Viva, “Into You”, launches with a tight, skippy house music rhythm. Bright chords and panning piano-like sparkles add the vibe while a punchy sub-bass bubbles underneath. Vocal snips and sung phrases bat in and out, guiding the deepness further to the underground. The ‘b-side’ remix comes from the legendary Canadian producer Jay Tripwire who delivers an exquisite Deependub. Jay’s take is spacey and spacious, brandishing shots of reverb and sustained tonal textures throughout its runtime. These cuts are for the most intimate of late nights, as bodies vibrate hypnotically on a darkened dancefloor.

.
Jay Hill (Superfreq) – “Stellar release! Both tracks are superb offerings.”  
Christian Martin (Trippy Ass Technologies) – “The Jay Tripwire remix is DOPE!”  
Sean Dimitrie (Bombay Records) – “Lovely release. I think the original is for me, it has a nice bounce to it.”  
Scheibosan (Shanti Roots) – “Nice house stomper, I like both versions.”  
Matthias Kirsch (JazzRadio 106.8FM) – “Fa-bu-lous! Hypnotic!”  
Dean Facer (Resident Advisor) – “Gorgeous … simply gorgeous.”  
Simon Kirk (Stag Beetle Radio Show) – “Tasty original and Jay’s wonderful style all over the remix. Full support.”

.
Adam Nathan is a London-born, Toronto-raised DJ and producer quickly making a name for himself on the global deep house scene. Previously collaborating under various monikers and part of Toronto’s influential Release Records crew, Adam is now unveiling potent solo tracks under his name. This new EP for Viva Recordings, titled Hyacinth, is his second for the label, and has the well-honed sound of a studio veteran, with a smooth, warm sound and emotive passages. Adam’s roots as a drummer come through with the stripped down emphasis on rhythm, while melodic flourishes and dynamic builds play masterfully on top.

The EP opens with ”Hyacinth”, featuring dramatic strings and a fine, pulsating kick drum. The cut builds in a mesmerizing fashion, like the beautiful unfolding of this flower in Spring. “Soul Council” gets into even deeper territory, with deep and melodic inspirations, echoing some of the earlier work on the label. “Wave Hands Like Clouds”, finishes the EP off with dreamlike touches. Synth stabs, percussion that rolls, and the blissful strings will have you soaring. Float away on these deep vibes.

1. You Got Something
2. You Got Something (Cheeky Brit Remix)

.
When two house music veterans join forces on Viva Recordings for some music action, you know you've got something special. And that's certainly the case with "You Got Something," the first of a two-part single from San Francisco keyboard and studio legend Sen-Sei (Delve Deeper, Nervous) and renowned DJ-turned-producer HUGEhands (AKA James Durant — i Records, Sound Vessel). The pair have come together for a slinky, late-night deep house charmer full of left-coast vibes, dubby flavors, and solid musicianship. A punchy rhythm-and-bass track leads the dancefloor on a journey through affecting vocal hooks, echoed sax riffs, and intricately layered keyboard sections. Col Lawton (Deep Fix Recordings) slips into the collab with a spacious remix of "You Got Something," blending dreamy effects and flourishes with the original's melodic craft. The result is a tad jazzier while gliding further into the deep side, eventually sprinkled with a floor-lifting acid bass line. Both sides of this single are sure to become DJ staples, soon to be accompanied by the release of Part 2.

.
Hector Romero (Saw Recordings) – “Very nice deep groove by Sen-Sei & HUGEhands.”  
Tony H (Dirtybird) – “Both the OG and the Remix are very vibey. I did it.”  
Dan Laino (Phunk Junk Records) – “Both tracks are great, but I’m digging the remix vibe.”  
DJ Osric (Black and Blue Show) – “Quality house music. Sensational.”  
Mike Solus (Housemasters Radio) – “Sen-Sei & HUGEhands, thanks for this. I like what you’ve done here.”  
Jon Manley (hOUSEwORX) – “Top notch Deep House from Sen-Sei & HUGEhands. This is a proper feeling.”

2. The Love I Get feat. Devoya Mayo (Johnny Fiasco Deep Dub)
3. The Love I Get feat. Devoya Mayo (Johnny Fiasco Deep Dub Instrumental)

.
Picture the scene. It's early morning (5am? 7am?) on Miami beach during WMC. The location is somewhere around 15th and Collins. It's been a long night, some friends have been out all night, DJ'ing and hitting the parties. The sun is fully up, and it must already be 87 degrees out. The only thing on their mind is getting back to the hotel for some rest. Cab after cab after cab rolls by, not a single one will stop to pick them up. One of the revelers decides to take action, walking in to the middle of the road, desperate, holding his hands up to stop a cab, and the rest is history. They eventually made it back to their destination. Names have been withheld to protect the innocent, but we will say it’s this setting that inspired the Johnny Fiasco’s Cab Stopper Remix of "The Love I Get " from Jason Merle on Viva Recordings. The track also features vocalist Devoya Mayo on vocals, and two more slightly more subdued (but still hot enough for Miami) remixes, The Deep Dub and the Deep Dub Instrumental. If you can take the heat, c’mon in.

.
**Sean Dimitrie** (Bombay Records) – “Oh snap Johnny is "getting busy" on this, sweet! New Classic!”  
**Frank Amodo** (Barefoot Beats) – “Jason Merle with Johnny Fiasco remixes? Life just got better.”  
**DJ Harri** (Sub Club) – “Nice to hear from Johnny here. Lovely stuff!”  
**Sandro Bianchi** (Ibiza Sonica) – “Amazing remixes here.”  
**Dr. Best** (Radio Z 95.8, Germany) – “A nice release. All three versions are right up my alley.”  
**Jon Fugler** (XLNT radio show) – “A rare 5/5 star rating. Quite simply faultless as a piece of classic dance.”

1. Broken Layers

.
Over the last year or so, the Viva Recordings team has been getting to know Miguel Scott, a talented producer from Johannesburg, South Africa. After many conversations and a few listening sessions, it was apparent that "Broken Layers" was just what the label needed. This release is packed with jazz & broken beat vibes, and is co written by BluShift, also from Johannesburg. You can also catch Miguel on labels like Nervous, Moiss Music Black, and his own Afrinative Soul imprint. Don’t sleep on this one.

1.  Money Can't
2. Money Can't (Dub)
3. Money Can't (Instrumental)
4. Money Can't (Radio Edit)

.
The formidable pair known as Glass Slipper — Brad Eller and Lisa Cork-Twiss — continues to delve into their varied sonic roots for a unique perspective on dance music, ably transmitted on their fantastic new single for Viva Recordings, "Money Can't."

A product of Houston’s music scene, Lisa's early forays into music brought her to the Eurodance group Real McCoy from 1996 to 1998. Brad forged his own path, cutting his teeth as a DJ during San Francisco’s famed house music explosion in the early 2000s. After graduating from mixing records to live performance, Brad began making studio-based productions before moving to Austin. Then Brad read a 2013 interview with Lisa and reached out to her for a remote collaboration. The two realized they resided in the same area. It wasn’t long before this combination of voice and production led to the formation of Glass Slipper. Acclaimed singles for Oh So Coy, Large Music, Quantize, Foliage Records, and others have followed.

"Money Can't" is an exhilarating gourmet of uplifting house music. The classic elements of punchy four-on-the-floor rhythm, staccato piano chords, and bouncing sub-bass are all here in force, accented by spacious synthesizer textures and a rousing, soulful vocal from Lisa Cork-Twiss. The track builds mightily, its message of "money can't buy love" primed to bring the dancefloor together in a shared celebration of beats and melody. Also on deck are a Dub, an Instrumental, and a Radio Mix for DJs looking for those fiery options. Slip into something electrifying!

.
Black Mighty Wax (Irma Records) – “That kind of Souful House...I love!!”  
Mr. V (Sole Channel Music) – “Straight Heat! Thanks Guys.”  
DJ Leandro P (Nylon Trax) – “Dope Pack. All of my support for this.”  
Niall Redmond (The Digital Groove) – “Nice vibes on this one - support from me for sure.”  
Dean Serafini (Frisky Rhythms) – “Those old school keys make an instant impact. Looking forward to giving this is a spin or three (nice and loud).”  
Simon Kirk (Stag Beetle Radio Show) – “Oh this is classy stuff - Proper house in the New Jersey style with a joyous piano drop.”

Out Now On Viva Recordings:

1. Saturday Night (Extended Mix)
2. Saturday Night (Dub)

.
Duwayne Motley's house music bona fides have few equals. Over the years, the prolific Charleston-based DJ and producer created exceptional sounds for the likes of Salted, King Street Sounds, Glasgow Underground, and quite a few more. "Come Get Me," Duwayne's 2009 release on Nervous Records upped the ante, receiving much acclaim and being selected for Nervous Records' best of compilation, Nervous House 20, mixed by CJ Mackintosh. Viva Recordings was among those who took notice and released Duwayne Motley's collaboration with Zandrina, "Gave Up On Love," in 2021.

Now Duwayne returns to Viva for an exhilarating house music statement, "Saturday Night." A chunky four-on-the-floor club bounce leads to sparkling layers of keys, strings, and staccato plucks as an uplifting vocal, once again from Zandrina, praises the virtues of Saturday night. This one is pure disco dynamite, beaming energy straight to the dancefloor in the form of percussive laser fills. Duwayne has also handily provided a Dub that takes the groove into deeper realms, looping and filtering the main keys while building the other elements smoothly on top. This one's a definite future staple for weekend peak time.

.
Luis Machuca (Friskybeat Records) – “A great uplifting vocal jam.”  
Wilbour Craddock (Groovewest) – “Pure disco infused house magic.”  
Stranger Danger (Moulton Music) – “Nice little chugger. Full support.”  
Richie Hartness (Untitled Music) – “Sweet sweet soulful sounds.”  
Mason Rothert (Below Zero Radio) – “This is beautiful and sexy.”  
Hippie Torrales (Cyberjamz Radio) – “A great, straight up house groove.”

.
Points on the map converge as Minneapolis' Dan Laino (Phunk Junk, Bubble n Twist), Fresno's Jason Merle (4E&A Records, Viva), and acclaimed Leeds, UK-based vocalist Becka Ward (S&S Chicago, Let There Be House) converge for the fantastic new Viva Recordings single, "I Want You." The original flows like a deep house dream as floaty pads, an old-school bass line ride, and subdued house beats support Becka's emotive vocals and lyrics. Drawing upon the tradition of soulful house and R&B and blending it with lush production flourishes yields one serious late-night gift. The dancefloor is the ecstatic recipient. The trio also provides an Instrumental as well as a Dub version using the sparsest of vocals from the original. There's also the Choppin Broccoli Remix, which increases the tempo and heat just a tad, throwing in fresh new layers of instrumentation that bring Becka's vocal into another brilliant light. It's time to get down.

Mr. V (Sole Channel Music) – “A super dope release.”  
Soulfuledge (Quantize) – “Love it. Deep, dreamy goodness.”  
Vinny Villbass (Badabing Diskos) – “Great production. Perfect for those hotel pool sunsets.”

1. Return to the Feelings (Dub)
2. Return to the Feelings feat. George JJ Flores

.
India's deep house don Hamza Rahimtula has joined forces with HMNI Music impresario Cantos for an electric Viva Recordings single, "Return to the Feelings.." The release leads with the instrumental Dub, owing to the pair's allegiance to the DJ's sonic domain. A jazzy drum shuffle immediately signals that this cut is something a little different for the dancefloor, before a rolling sub-bass riff and sparkling chords come on the scene. A glorious half-time breakdown, furthering the jazzy predilection, transmits a moment of half-time bliss before the track builds to funky new heights. The Original version of "Return to the Feelings" follows, featuring GJJF Music's George JJ Flores giving an emotive spoken word statement in the mid-section break, enhancing the cut's already potent amount of cosmicness. Dive into this!

Danny Ward (Moodymanc) – “Loving the happy jazzy chug here...shall be playing this out.”  
Cuillere (No Fuss) – “Smooth like silk.”  
Ramiro (Uniting Souls Music) – “All the feels on this deep, dubby, jazzy journey. Love both versions, and I love seeing these 3 amazing artists collab!”

Snooba (Radio Panik) – “Nice jazzy vibes!”

Return to the Feelings feat. George JJ Flores

Cantos & Hamza Rahimtula - Return to the Feelings feat. George JJ Flores (Viva Recordings)

Out Now On Viva Recordings: 

1.  Merry Go
2. Merry Go (Pattern Drama Remix)

.
Seattle DJ/producer Jon Lee returns to Viva Recordings, this time collaborating with Nuno (SEA) for the exquisite deep house stomper “Merry Go.” Jon has been on the scene since 1994, establishing a name for himself in the northwest with his influential imprint Tilted Records and illustrious DJ appearances. Nuno (SEA) was based in the UK and South Africa before returning to the states, having remixed and released on the likes of Something Different Records, Deeper Shades of House, and Atjazz Record Company. As one can hear, the two make a great production team.

“Merry Go” is a pulsating track with a bass-heavy rhythm and hypnotic drive. Filtered textures and repeating tones give way to a sublime introduction of the tune’s title, accompanied by floating pads and dubby percussion hits. The remix comes from Pattern Drama — AKA Touch Of Class Records’ Corey Baker — who incorporates many of the original elements, but adding a deep, throbbing bass line and tripped-out synth sequences. It’s a somewhat acidic treatment compared to the original, giving DJs two effective sides of a similar coin to play with. These will undoubtedly move floors.

.
ROBOT84 (Paper Recordings) – “The Pattern Drama mix has a great feel to it. A really good house tune.”  
Lars Behrenroth (Deeper Shades of House) – “Nice and deep. I’ll def. play it.”  
Nick Warren (The Soundgarden) – “Excellent work by Pattern Drama.”  
Andrew Emil (Broadway & Wilson) – “I dig the original mix.”  
DJ P-Rez (Not So Fast Records) – “Both versions are fire! These will be fun to play.”  
Tyler Stadius (Dialtone Records) – “Great track – both versions!”  
Brian Epstein (Deepfunk Records) – “Pattern Drama mix for me. Wild and fun.”  
Hippie Torrales (Cyberjamz Radio) – “Nice funky beats.”  
Richie Hartness (Untitled Music) – “Nice wobble to this one.”  
Hober Mallow (Mighty Reel Show, Sydney) – “Great Original, and the Pattern Drama remix just puts that groove down and doesn't let go. Love it. Awesome music.”

Since the mid-90s, Terry Jasinto has left his mark on house music scenes from Miami to Seattle to San Diego (where he’s now based). Terry led popular residencies in these three corners and played alongside a number of influential heavyweights. In addition, his productions were released by cool labels like Tilted, Fresh Farm, HEAVY, and Stripped Digital. Now he joins up with Viva Recordings to drop an exquisite deep house groover titled “Rhythm of Your Soul.”

The production on “Rhythm of Your Soul” is remarkably tight and crisp, with the drum track, synth hits, and airy textures bouncing across the frequency spectrum. Female vocal phrases float around mix alongside beguiling flute lines, all echoed for maximum spaciness. Terry also includes a more percussive Flipped Alternative Remix, adding an exotic tribal quality to the elements of the original.

A trio of Viva Recordings veterans supply a top notch trio of remixes. Seattle’s Jon Lee (Tilted Records) is up first, adding a funky UK underground feel to the cut for maximum after-hours impact. Tokita (Kolour, Moulton) grabs an infectious old school house vibe and fashions it for modern club action. It’s got organ stabs for days. Simon Houser, last seen collaborating with Jon Lee as Lee Houser, offers a deeper take on “Rhythm of Your Soul” with a vibrating bass line, mesmerizing synth pads and vocal intonations, and oodles of late night appeal. It’s an exceptional package — these cuts won’t be leaving the DJ’s digital crate any time soon.

Native Soul’s Bobby Breezy joins multi-instrumentalist Matt Mason for “Spare Change,” a new single on Viva Recordings that prescribes a dose of feel-good energy. These two have been catching attention with their uplifting deep house vibes, with a track set to appear on a forthcoming King Street compilation. But first, “Spare Change” excites the dance floor with tough, swinging beats, an old school bass bounce, and cool riff exchanges courtesy of trumpet, jazzy guitar, and keys. The live playing is masterful and catchy throughout. Things get funkier as the legendary Demarkus Lewis comes on board with a pair of top notch remixes. Lewis’s Deez Triple D mixes layer extra keys, pads, and melodies over his trademark house rhythms, leading to a peak moment in a deep house DJ’s set. These are necessary grooves, giving the floor some positive late night action.

With a multi-page discography of releases dating back over 15 years, Demarkus Lewis is one of the hardest working men in house music, regularly adding to his diverse string of underground floor fillers. Mastering many house styles, Demarkus has released tech-house bombs on Nervous Records, soulful nuggets on Kingstreet Soundz, hypnotizing afro-rhythms on Slip n Slide, and everything in-between on his own Grin Music imprint. Demarkus now returns to his home-away-from-home Viva Recordings for the fantastic single “I Just Wanna Vibe.”

The track launches with Demarkus’s patented tough, swinging beats followed by a bouncy techno bass line. House chords and stereo-swirling vocal stabs quickly enter the sonic space. An interplay of pads and the spoken-sung words — “I just wanna vibe!” — inject additional electricity into the track. And then, as a bonus, Demarkus pares down the arrangement a notch for a gritty dub version. Late nights look out – these cuts are pure vibe, indeed.

2021 is a year of new beginnings and renewed hope. Demarkus Lewis celebrates this by returning to Viva Recordings with an uplifting new single, “Soul of a Nation.” The track features all the elements of Demarkus’s patented, swirling deep house sound — tough, swinging rhythms, warm synth pads, and bouncing sub-bass. The inspiring addition to “Soul of a Nation” are the words of Kamala Harris, the first woman or person of color to hold the office of US Vice President. “Unite our country and heal the soul of our nation,” says Harris as the track takes hold. These words resonate throughout the house music community, a bonded family that knows all about coming together and celebrating diversity on the dancefloor. “Soul of a Nation” takes this message, musically, to the wider world, sending a prayer for sunnier days ahead.

The single includes Demarkus’s Main Mix, Dubtastical Mix, and Radio Edit. Here’s to hope, unity, and new beginnings!

Out Now On Viva Recordings:

1.   Open Senses
2.  Open Senses (Deep Mix)

.
After the success of his Do It Right EP, Mr. Bootsauce returns to Viva Recordings for the stellar new cut “Open Senses.” Known for top tracks on labels like Salted, Large, and Good For You Records, Mr. Bootsauce honed his craft at Los Angeles’ weekly UNITY party. His DJ’ing motivated his productions, developing a deep, thumping sound that transmitted musical emotion on the dancefloor.

“Open Senses” is a swirling slice of deep house, featuring a tight rhythm track propelling warm, filtered chords and a ‘relaxing’ repeated vocal drop. Wooshes and booms accentuate the smooth vibe, fitting the sound right in the Viva pocket. Things get deeper still with the Deep Mix, adding an infectious bass run and sparse breakdown moments. This one will prove that it’s possible to dream hard while the feet are grooving.

Open Senses

Mr. Bootsauce - Open Senses (Viva Recordings)

Quality House Music From Seattle, WA USA

Founded in early 1998, the goal was to consistently put out records that would be loved and played by many in the house music community. Viva Recordings found success with its first debut from Johnny Fiasco and the with Rick Preston's Altruism EP, which gained notoriety when "Spring Fling" was featured on Mark Farina's San Francisco Sessions Vol.1. From these early releases the road was paved for Viva Recordings' success. Over the last few years we have been working on personal projects but now have decided to bring the label back and take the Viva name back. If you feel your music fits in the scope of our label please send demos to our A&R/Label Manager Chad Neiro at his email.
