desires (k15 hats & scarves ting)

Much like Vol.1, Matt Wyatt from Manchester based label, Dansu Discs has picked a fantasy league esque lineup for Vol.2, featuring a few superstars, a bunch of fan favourites and a couple of wonder-kids. Now, If you've been wise enough to let us give you music for a while, you'll know that we love a bit of Dansu AND we love a bit of Tilman too. So, when this one hit our eyes and ears via our inbox, it's safe to say we were pretty excited.

This feature is vintage Tilman. If you have had the tragic misfortune of not being familiar with the Germans music, then firstly, get to know but secondly, make-it-known to yourself that he has a liking for the pumpier side of the dance music spectrum - and 'How About You' is exactly that. An astutely drawn sample framed by slammin' and swingin' percussion makes this a summer jam to be reckoned with. Head over to Dansu Discs Soundcloud and check out the rest of the VA for more tasty greatness.

Kapote - Yeah Pass It

"They only watch because our love is so primitive"

'Primordial' is the latest single from nu-disco hit machine Tim Bernhardt, aka Satin Jackets, and sees the German producer reunited with North Carolina based singer Niya Wells. Combining some of the best beats and basslines in the business with a smattering of piano and some delicately swirling strings, Tim has produced the perfect setting for Niya's sultry, lovelorn vocals. The end result is an electrifying house track that goes down easier than the first cocktail of the night, sure to soundtrack the summer.

Talking about the song Niya explains, "A few months after the release of 'Never Enough'  Tim sent me several new tracks and I immediately gravitated towards this track. While writing the lyrics, the word 'primitive' kept coming to mind, I wasn't completely sold on it for various reasons – one reason being the negative connotations tied to it – but I just couldn't release the idea.

There's much to love about those moments that don't require much thought. Those rare experiences with individuals who just happened to show up at the right place, at the right time, seeking, craving that primal connection and that's what I wanted to capture with this song. No one should ever feel the need to censor themselves or miss out on life changing happenings, for the sake of conforming to the demands of those who don't matter. Tap into that primitive energy! Live your life, and see what you connect to!"

Whether producing modern balearic house anthems such as 'You Make Me Feel Good', seductively soulful tracks like 'Through The Night' or bonafide poolside classics like 'For Days', Tim has established himself as one of the biggest names in the modern disco scene clocking up more than 25 million streams of the debut Satin Jackets album, 'Panorama Pacifico', on Spotify alone.

LYRICS 

The sky is falling
Don’t look up tonight
Aren’t you tired of running
Let our worlds collide
Chaos is calling
Don’t pick up tonight
Can we just live in the moment
We don’t have much time

I don’t care - one could only wish for what we have
They all stare cause a love like this they wish they had

They only watch because our love is so primitive
Our love is so primitive

They only watch because our love is so primitive
Our love is so primitive

The stars are falling 
Let's enjoy the plight 
And as the world is burning
We’ll dance with the fire
There will be judgement
Let them crucify
Cause in the end I want nothing
But you by my side

I don’t care - one could only wish for what we have
They all stare cause a love like this they wish they had

They only watch because our love is so primitive
Our love is so primitive

They only watch because our love is so primitive
Our love is so primitive

Back In Paradise

Buy on Beatport

PREMIERE: Vaudafunk - Back In Paradise (Original Mix) [Chopshop Music]

Madhouse has announced the release of ’25 Years Of Madhouse (mixed & compiled by Kerri Chandler)’. The anniversary album will be released on 7 September as an individual track digital and CD album, continuous DJ mix from Kerri, and a special 8 track vinyl sampler.

Label co-founder Kerri has lovingly compiled and mixed ’25 Years Of Madhouse’, fresh from his 2017 landmark DJ-Kicks compilation, sending a track into space with Sonar25, and launching his Underground Kaoz concept with Jeremy Underground. Amongst a wealth of remixed classics from Kerri himself (including Adesse Versions), label heroes Demuja and Kevin Over feature heavily, alongside cuts and remixes from Jerome Sydenham, Dennis Ferrer, Roy Ayers (‘Good Vibrations’), DJ Deep, Will Saul, Josh Butler, Jimpster, and many more.

Launched in 1992, Madhouse Records was a joint venture between Chandler and Mel Medalie’s Champion Records. Rooted in Deep and Soulful House, Madhouse became predominantly an outlet for Kerri’s music, alongside productions from his peers, and tracks he discovered while DJing around the globe. The first release was a 6-track showcase sampler entitled 'A Basement, A Red Light & A Feelin’. Singles and EP’s followed from Matrix, Kamar, Lafayette, Dreamer G and Stratosphere (one of Kerri’s many aliases included on this album), along with Christopher McCray, where Kerri mostly produced, co-produced or remixed himself.

25 years on, the imprint has retained its original ethos and continues to push quality, underground House music. Forthcoming releases will see Seven Davis Jr, and Marquis Hawkes both make their Madhouse debuts; and over the past 12 months, the label has welcomed names such as Detroit Swindle, Peggy Gou, Jimpster, Josh Butler, DJ Deep, DJ Steaw, Kevin Over, Black Loops, Adesse Versions, Will Saul, Dennis Quin, Demuja and many more great names to their roster.

Mixed by one of the most respected DJs on the planet, ’25 Years Of Madhouse’ is a reminder of Madhouse’s considerable contribution to House music’s canon, and of a legacy that continues to shape electronic music in 2018 and beyond.

Ce titre est un voyage au pays de « Gainsbarre ».
Sur un fond électro funk une ligne de basse acide vient faire écho au sombres réflexions du maestro.  Les amateurs de sucettes à l’anis devineront sûrement l’hommage à venir sur la part 2 !
