Not showing any signs of letting up in the new year, Whiskey Pickle Records keeps the funk rolling with a brand new single from the legendary duo of Gavin & Robbie Hardkiss. As founders of the classic U.S. rave progenitor Hardkiss alongside their sorely missed brother Scott Hardkiss, the pair have been mainstays in every aspect of dance music as producers, promoters, label heads, and world-class DJs.

Fast forward to 2014 and the lads are still at it, offering up their latest creation in the form of “RetroactiveFuturisticPsychedelicFunkBump,” the second single from their forthcoming album 1991 which is due later this year. A slick slab of electro-boogie rhythms, the single features vocoded vox and a nasty bass that'll take listeners on an interstellar voyage from Cybotron to Planet Rock.

A release such as this requires some serious thought when considering remixers, and Whiskey Pickle spared no expense. Having such industry luminaries as James Curd (of Greenskeepers fame) and Q-Burns Abstract Message, as well as Gavin Hardkiss' own Hawke moniker on board has proved to be essential in creating the total package. Each remixer finds a perfect, complimentary vibe to the original; whether it's the glossy, disco-funk of the James Curd version, or the relentless 808 bass and layered breaks on the Q-Burns Abstract Message treatment … or maybe it’s the retro, balearic vibe of the Hawke remix that does the trick? Whatever the occasion, Whiskey Pickle has the correct medicine to ease any afflictions.

Whiskey Pickle Records is proud to present the debut release from European native, Xander Milne. As the assistant label manager to Alan Braxe's, Vulture Music, Xander has been steeped in house music culture for ages. Once Whiskey Pickle caught wind that he was shopping original tunes, a week's time was all that was needed for the two parties to reach an agreement and set about a release.

A-side, "I Know You," is a stunning collaboration between Xander Milne and Whiskey Pickle stalwart, Abstrakt Audio. The pair's distinctive styles blend to create a modern house jam with heavy praises to the old school. Title cut, "Let Me Fuse," is a twisted romp with notes of acid, electro and tropical flavors,  a stunning debut from a promising, new artist. 

Tapped on the remix front, Abstrakt Audio makes his second appearance to inject the usual retro vibes with some heavy swung percussion and stabby chords to get those house-heads bobbin'. Austin's own Daelo turns in a tech-infused, hypnotic stomper to round out the package.

All in all, another solid addition to the WP catalog.

The concept behind The Remixes Vol. 1 is simple: take some tunes that mostly did not have remixes on the official release and enlist some high profile talent to put their special stamp on them -- and that's exactly what's happening here. Bundled with the premiere of Whiskey Pickle's brand new logo redesigned by Austin artist Mez-One (of The Royal Mark Makers and TITS Crew), this pack has the label family brimming with excitement.

Up first, Sixth Avenue Express takes on the mighty "Nu Funk" by Abstrakt Audio. He twists the hypnotic swirl of the original into a slick lounge affair that features a gorgeous, roof-raising breakdown. Making his second appearance on WP, Dallas based producer Redsean utterly destroys "Does She Want You Now" by Zack Highwire in the best possible way, churning out some mean dance floor revenge. Cosmic funksters The New Black sought the expertise of The Dead Rose Music Company to beef up their "Stone Cold Groove" with some shuffling percussion and a Moog bass line that would make Bernie Worrell proud.

On the flip-side, label founder Adam Warped dons his Johnny Blackouts guise and bucks all convention by taking "I'm A Freak" into Nordic-house territory. Jason Blakemore, formerly known as DJ Trance, injects Zack Highwire's "Mind, Hearts, Lies" with a classic analogue kick that just won't quit. Titled the Lurky Dub, it's just that: deep, brooding, and seriously dubbed out, sure to leave listeners stuck in the groove and eager to move. Lastly, Austin, TX, mainstay Keine Moniker puts "Traps" by P-Rez in a blender filled with heavy Rhodes chords and a rolling bass, pouring out smooth deepness on his Jazzme Edit. He's had a busy year with heavily lauded releases on Cream Couture, Bush Records, Dead Funk Music, and StayFly Records. His remix shows why, taking the original to a whole new time and place.

Whiskey Pickle, the little central Texas imprint, has outdone themselves with a staggeringly ambitious output this year. Their massive schedule included next level releases from Gavin and Robbie Hardkiss, Walter Jones, and newcomers such as Xander Milne, Thomas, and Glass Slipper alongside remix contributions from heavy hitters like James Curd, Sleazy McQueen, Dead Rose Music Company, and Jake Childs.

As 2014 comes to a close, Whiskey Pickle wraps up its biggest year to date with a blinding release from Barcelona based producer Playless. The Spanish native -- born Alex Ferrer -- is no novice to the global scene and has an impressive resume under his previous alias Sidechains. Through releases on Ministry of Sound, Hed Kandi, Toolroom, Moda, and Sweat It Out, plus a residency at Barcelona’s most beloved venue, Razzmatazz, the young maestro has earned his stripes in an authentic and organic way: with hard work, perseverance, and talent.

Ferrer’s second artist release as Playless comes in the form of "How Much?" and "Juno". Both tracks brilliantly showcase his production style which blends forward thinking, modern techniques with the fun, carefree spirit of dance music’s humble beginnings. "How Much?" kicks things off with shuffling hats, shimmering piano riffs, MIDI saxophones, and bass drops … the good time vibes are palpable on this one. The B-side, "Juno", pays homage to the sweaty warehouse days of yore with a barrage of 909 percussion, cavernous reverb, and a bass line as 'silky' as Steve Hurley.

Londoner-turned-Parisian and Vulture Music label admin Xander Milne makes his second appearance on Whiskey Pickle remixing "How Much?". He twists the wistful leanings of the original into a pumping, party-jam anthem. Crackling percussion and layers of hype-man vocals bring the energy to a boiling point at the massive, filtered piano breakdown. "Juno" gets a deep and heavy re-rub from Whiskey Pickle stalwart Abstrakt Audio on his 'Warehouse' Remix which transports the listener to a darkened dance floor somewhere on the south side of Chicago.

Playless - Juno (Original Mix)

Taking deep progressive rhythms and wrapping them in a pair of wayfarers; Nickelson creates musical narratives influenced by celluloid visions of the 80’s using modern production techniques. A Northern-Brit now living in the US, Nickelson absorbs and synthesizes his diverse musical and environmental influences.

The Children of Saturn EP was made with a Jetsons style space-age nightclub in mind. From the twin sunrise vibes of the title track to the sleaze and rousing chord builds of "Pick Up," and the tight frenetic energy of "Slunksgiving," the EP embarks on a dynamic journey through synth-laden landscapes.

Accompanying the EP is a remix of the title track, "Children Of Saturn," courtesy of Always Friends, the new solo endeavor from Brad Eller, one half of the deep house duo Glass Slipper based in Austin, Texas.

4. The Royal We

Texas based cosmic-funksters The New Black return to Whiskey Pickle with their latest offering entitled The Trouble With Monarchy. This slick production duo -- comprised of Nathan Stewart and William Bowers -- have gone on to release with Midnight Riot, Something Different, and Headset after making their initial debut on Whiskey Pickle. Two cuts and a pair of remixes comprise their new groove-laden release, opening with the filtered, low-slung swing of “A Game Of Tones”. Chirpy sample stabs and ominous synth swells usher in a fat bass line and airy pads as things crescendo into a tsunami of enveloped Moog riffs.

Icelandic disco-maestro B.G. Baarregaard (Whiskey Disco, DiscoDat) steps up first to spin the groove of “A Game Of Tones” into an uptempo, cosmic burner. His shimmering synth work adds a carefree vibe to the original's menacing flair. UK duo Hearts Of Darkness, comprised of industry heavyweights Phil Towers and Al Bradley (3am Recordings), construct a dubby take on “A Game Of Tones”. They employ loads of echoes and funky synth riffs with their aim set steadily at club dance floors. Wrapping things up nicely is “The Royal We”, a hypnotic deep house affair from The New Black that oozes like syrup and is just as sweet.

Just in time for pool party season comes the latest endeavor from Cancun-based producer The Funk District. Riding a cool, summery breeze straight out of the Yucatan is “Robot Soul”, a super-groovy affair that features remixes from Richard Seaborne (Midnight Riot!) and Hotbox plus a B-side offering in the form of “Right To Humanity”. With previous releases by The Funk District on trusted imprints like Editorial Records, Paper Disco, and Deep Sense, Whiskey Pickle are proud to welcome this budding talent to the fold.

Kicking things off, The Funk District gets things nice and warm with his original take on “Robot Soul”, relying on smooth organ pads, delayed guitar riffs, and a silky bass line. Richard Seaborne’s remix amps up the tempo and adds some funky flute riffs and a mean Moog bass while Hotbox’s dub remix is stripped down and hypnotic. Closing up the shop is the equally funky “Right To Humanity”, a perfect pairing to the lead cut with its fluid guitar riffs, vocoder vox, and cheeky vinyl cracklings.

4. Free

Barcelona-based producer Playless makes his second appearance on Whiskey Pickle with two smoking tracks: “You Got Me So” and “Free”. Those tapped for remixes include the debut of Whiskey Pickle’s in-house mastering engineer, Ryan Parker, donning his Laws Of Nature moniker, as well as Austin duo Glass Slipper.

Bittersweet melodies, pitched-out vocal samples and deep, M1 bass lines are all featured in the original mix of “You Got Me So”. Its groovy, swung beats and dubby flourishes work nicely on a bed of garage-inspired production. Next up, Laws Of Nature take the controls for a modern, synth-drenched update that channels Disclosure at their funkiest. Glass Slipper fit just right with their stripped-back version that features re-sampled vocals – courtesy of in-house vocalist Lisa Cork-Twiss – and layers of organ riffs. Wrapping things up on the B-side is “Free”, a jangling house number with classic-sounding piano chords and a rough and ready bottom end.

Whiskey Pickle Records welcome German producer Mac-K-Cee to the fold with his super-groovy debut for the label. “Temptation“ and ”Step Outside” are a pair of classics-inspired deep house cuts that feature bouncy grooves, lovely stabs, and euphoric vocal samples. The single features two remixes of “Temptation”, with the first coming from label mainstay Walter Jones (DFA / Permanent Vacation) who drops the tempo considerably and adds his signature swing and acidic flourishes. Cancun’s The Funk District follows suit with an equally low slung dub version that channels the sun drenched vibes this fresh producer is becoming known for.

Mac-K-Cee - "Temptation (The Funk District Dub)"

Whiskey Pickle Records has positioned itself as a stronghold for weirdo, psychedelic, deep and beatdown sounds coming straight from the heart of Texas. Over the course of seven years, the indie label has built a stable of artists that both showcase the Lone Star State and encompasses a-list and global acts alike. Having hosted the likes of Gavin & Robbie Hardkiss, Sleazy McQueen, Walter Jones, The Funk District, B.G. Baarregaard, James Curd, Steve Cobby, Q-Burns Abstract Message, as well as label heads Johnny Blackouts and RiCHARD.GEAR.

Here, Whiskey Pickle presents it’s 30th release with a celebratory, various artists compilation that features label stalwarts P-Rez, Jake Childs, and Schugar(donning his Llama A moniker) plus fresh faces Without Wax, David Ricardo, Ben Davidson, and Jorgito. Rounding out the release are appearances from Leeds very own Al Bradley (as Audiotonic), Texan goth trio The Fallen, and a righteous collaboration from Used Manatee Salesman and Daniel Allen. In typical, Whiskey Pickle fashion, all rules are thrown out the door with this genre-busting compilation that refuses to be pigeon-holed. Expect plenty of heavy rhythms and cosmic grooves as they offer their “XXX” rated, 30th release.
