Midnight Club - Ouh, Ouh Ouh!

https://soundcloud.com/mountliberationunlimited strikes back! 
After releases on Tim Sweeney's Beats In Space label and everyone’s favourite oddball house institution Studio Barnhus, the swedish duo, consisting of Tom Lagerman and Niklas Janzon, land on planet Permanent Vacation.
 "Body Language" is the fifth release for MLU and you can feel that they have been places and come some ways, since their debut ep in 2014: This Ode to dancing sees Lagerman and Janzon heading into more pop-y territories than before. "The Swedish Version" is a full on pop disco track with rich instrumentation and infectious vocals that underline MLU's status as one of the best disco and house live acts around these days.

After coming out with his record Ohana on Neovinyl Recordings earlier this year, Bolting Bits favorite Carlo returns with yet another release set to come out later this month. Titled Tres, the Malaga born producer has teamed up with his Berlin-based brethren at Suol records to deliver something for the hot summer months ahead. I do not know how the EP got its name, but as you'd most likely guess, the record consists of a total of 3 tracks. Each track is quite mellow in nature and showcases the producer's ability to pair the right amount of reverb to make listeners feel as if they're floating on thin air.

Take Carlo's original called B-162. What the song lacks in tempo is quickly compensated for by a multi-layered assortment of lush sounding vocals, spliced melodies, and inviting notes from a Rhodes piano. All of these elements give the track a light-hearted feel and make it the perfect candidate to soundtrack the start of any night or even upcoming rooftop soiree.

This is a remix we made for promising French pop act RAMÓ. This one was made with the spirit of Brazilian music in mind ! 🇧🇷 

Thanks a lot to @danielmonaco from UMEME for providing us with an absolute killer bassline! And thank you Airto Moreira for the music and the constant inspiration.

Ramó - Tout Ira Bien (Mawimbi Remix)

Lyon beatsmith Saint Paul made an impressive full debut in 2017 with his Introspection EP on Moonrise Hill Material (which he co-runs with his boys Folamour, Ethyène and Kaffe Crème). After tasty contributions to V/As on the likes of Apparel Wax and FHUO, the Frenchman is back with another solo record on DC’s Better Listen Records.

The Naturist Behavior EP is a tastefully balanced, warm-weather oriented four tracker. The title track and the A2, “A Hawaiian Trip”, explore playful and jazzy territories. Meanwhile, the flip hosts moodier ventures via the bittersweet boogie of “Tell Me” and the ice cold late night jam, “Feels Good”.

PREMIERE: Saint Paul - Naturist Behavior [Better Listen]

Ted Jasper - Go On

Dream On" was made almost entirely on a train trip I took right after a show. I was high on endorphines from a beautiful night where I did a DJ set in just the right place, with the right crowd, and imagined a track I would love to play should this ideal setting occur again. Being used to having all sorts of instruments around in the studio, the self-imposed restriction of having to work with that fleeing harp sample dictated its dreamy direction.

Dino Soccio's LA-based basement-bash-gone-label Pleasure Of Love enlists Bons boss Pau Roca for their second adventure on wax.  Three tasty treats re-edited to perfection, bringing that summertime rooftop vibe to a pair of Technics' near you. Slow and seductive with brittle piano excursions scattered throughout, 'Liquid' definitely is our pick of the pantry.

PREMIERE: Bellaire - "Ah" [AOC Records]

Detroit Swindle present ‘High Life’, their second studio album due on the 28th May on the duo’s own Heist Recordings. The heart of the album was recorded over a three week period at their Amsterdam studio in March 2017, and the release will coincide with the fifth anniversary of the label.
Since forming in 2011, the Dutch duo have carved a unique place for themselves in the scene. Their sound - which merges references from multiple decades into one smooth aesthetic - quickly rose to popularity for its careful blend of soul and rhythm, taking cues from their passion for obscure records, with influences ranging from house and funk to afrobeat and soul. Dynamic live shows and DJ sets afford them a packed touring schedule across the globe, whilst their label Heist Recordings is credited with consistently breaking new artists.
The album explores the intersection of live and electronic music, with much of the improvised material left largely untouched to maintain its organic sensibilities. Detroit Swindle describe the album as an "electronic album with a live approach, combining our love for house, ambient and jazzy harmonics, making it a record interesting for the club, as well as a pleasant album to put on at home."
‘High Life’ explores stripped back soul and groove driven house over ten glistening productions.
Featured on the album are a sun-drenched collaboration with British singer/songwriter Tom Misch and a deep workout with the vocals of trained gospel singer turned house aficionado Seven Davis Jr. Lorenz Rhode, who accompanies the duo for their live shows, features on the infectious melodies of ‘High life’. ‘Call of the wild’ incorporates none other than Dutch nine-piece brass band Jungle by Night, whose stunning improvisations were recorded in the Red Bull Studio in Amsterdam.

PREMIERE : Detroit Swindle - Cut U Loose

'KAASI enjoys a simple life among the rugged mountains of Mallorca. Touring the worlds clubs and festival circuits have never been of interest to him, nor have the traditional methods of building a career in music. This is a man that has chosen at every step of the way to forge his own path. Each piece of music he creates is a testament to doing things your own way with love, care and time...'

Premiere: KAASI - Stay Off The Rails

Al Zanders approach to his first EP of 2018 and the first release on Undaground Therapy Muzik, Roy Davis Jr.'s label, in nearly 20 years is as precise as it is whimsical. 

Featuring 4 tracks showing Zanders sheer versatility when it comes to making music, and an insight into the journey his DJ sets often take. The closing track "Guidance" is a reflective track Dand a chance for the EP to close as well as it would close a dance floor when the lights come on at the end of the night.

I've always loved this track by The Emotions, specially the section I sampled. R.I.P Maurice White from Earth Wind & Fire, total genius for writing this track!

"Rehearsal" is sustained by Klubbhusset's patented, bouncy 909 percussion, flipping a gospel-like sample that all well-educated hip-hop heads should recognize. Clever filtering and hat work serve to keep the track hustling without monotony. It's really a perfect main chop too; the vocals irresistibly soulful and catchy, with piano flutters and horn stabs from the sample accenting the experience. Though it's the first track on the release, "Rehearsal" really works best as a later night affair. Its bittersweet loop staying faithful until the end.
