Following Rashid Ajami’s ecstatic debut with the A-side on our latest Tales of Romance project, we’re thrilled to have him back in full as we kick off the summer months. Through work with the likes of Maya Jane Coles and Atjazz, the Londoner has built a sterling reputation with releases on Get Physical, Einmusika, Anjunadeep, and Tale & Tone. For his inaugural EP with the TOR imprint - Never Knew - he continues to purvey his exquisite brand of deep house. 

Chasing Ghosts elevates the energy with a sturdy house backbone. The timeless character oozes as playful synths and a revolving bassline enlist the need for a two-step. Rashid lets his production prowess do the talking here, allowing the instrumental arrangement to stir us into a deep groove.

Argentina’s Lucefora & the UK’s Steve Kelley have each made significant individual strides over the years with releases on the likes of All Day I Dream and Souksonic under their respective belts. However, their joint material is capturing the ears of late, launching their partnership with the sumptuous Silk on our Tales of Romance series earlier this year. As they continue to dive deeper into the collaborative territories, we are thrilled to unveil their first EP together - Bodhiss.

The title track opens the show, diving deep into the realm of melodies and organica throughout the early moments. Percussive rhythms and searching synth work set the stage, as piano chords cut through the mold. The arrangement consistently builds in its offering, elevating energy as the track progresses to create sumptuous dancefloor momentum. A perfectly balanced groover that feels right at home.

Edna is thoughtfully placed at the core of the EP, forming the perfect summary of Lucefora & Kelley debut EP together. Bountiful beats, instrumental flair, and indie vocal hooks all have their place within a soaring emotive ballad. It continues the deep melodic tones of Bodhiss, while propelling us towards the bundle of energy that greets us next - a true facilitator of both EP and dancefloor alike.

'Nightcolours search for the best new talent leads them to the Newcastle’s Baardman for their 50th release.

In his burgeoning career, Baardman has already racked up an impressive CV of labels including Pursuit, Dear Deer & Eton Messy.

Kicking things off with title track Helpless Euphoria, you’re immediately immersed into Baardman’s spacious, atmospheric & twitchy soundscape. Robotic clicks and twisted mournful vocals flit in and out before the delicate melodic flourishes enter the scene lifting things into a euphoric haze.

Next is Lead by Love, straight away the tempo is lifted and the feeling is more urgent. Based around a deliciously feel good melodic line that meanders effortlessly throughout, this one drives forward with uplifting goodness.

Cries rounds off the EP with its muscular, menacing synths and driving beats. Dark, trippy sounds infiltrate throughout keeping the vibe thoroughly heads down before a sunlit arp breaks through the darkness and pushes the track on even further.'

Baardman - Helpless Euphoria EP

Premiere: Baardman - Helpless Euphoria [Nightcolours]

'An artist with a long and esteemed career within the underground dance industry, Chris Cargo is one of electronic music’s great innovators. Always at the bleeding edge of the progressive and deep house scene, he returns to his If You Wait imprint with a full-length album of ground-breaking breadth and diversity that showcases true “Resistance”.

A seasoned DJ and producer from Belfast, Cargo has seen his music reach far beyond the boundaries of his Northern Ireland home that have seen him enrapture crowds across all corners of the globe since the 1990s. From Shanghai and Siberia to Malaysia and Mexico for the likes of Smirnoff, Renaissance and Tennent’s Lager, Cargo has thrilled with a series of meticulously crafted and spellbinding sets. A celebrated production career has run contemporaneously with Cargo seeing his music signed to a plethora of blue-chip imprints that include John 00 Fleming’s JOOF, Paul Thomas’ UV and Nick Warren’s The Soundgarden, as well as the likes of Mango Alley, Stellar Fountain and Flow Vinyl. Supported by DJs across the world, particular attention has been paid by the dance industry’s glitterati that features John Digweed, Hernan Cattaneo and Laurent Garnier, to name but an elite few.

Using his own imprint as a vehicle for his music and a wealth of other high-profile artists, Chris Cargo now debuts his “Resistance” album on If You Wait. The multi-layered sonic landscape of “Constellations” opens proceedings with its subtle vocal phrasing, suspenseful chord progressions and twinkling motif. “From Within” continues the textured patterns before a rolling breakbeat groove adds a heavyweight anchor. Building to a rousing crescendo, stereo-panned pads open up in the second half. The deep house vibe of “Kundalini” impresses with its powerful bassline and delicate percussive roll adding weight aplenty, before the light, house vibe of “Cried to Dream” impresses with reverb-laden piano chords and subtly incongruous pad backdrop.

A delicate percussive vibe returns courtesy of “Corrado” as it rolls hypnotically across its 8-minute timeframe accompanied by a glorious jazz piano sequence and delay-infused effects, while “Home”, featuring the loquacious vocal harmonies of Sarah Whittaker Gilbey, is a delight to behold with its tender phrasing and air of melancholy. “Synergy” jars the listener back to the here and now with a deep bassline groove and ticking hi hat rhythm before “Aurora” smacks of club-friendly rhythms and powerful melodies. Straight out of the modern progressive house handbook, elegantly crafted melodies filter into range as muted arpeggios dance in tandem.

“Circadian” continues the driving club atmosphere that has come to define the Chris Cargo sound with its chest-thumping kick and powerful bass notes, while ethereal melodies easily drift across the mid-range to create a spine-tingling moment of magic. A stripped back breakbeat pattern heralds “Some Kind of Electric” as a sustained arpeggio and syncopated melody play off each other. Counterpoint melody is provided courtesy of sumptuous pads as an 80s bass pattern supplies a nostalgic feel. Ending as it began, the smooth textures of “Space Between” provide a pause for reflection as emotive chords soar into the distance with gravitas and strength, creating the perfect end to an outstanding body of work.'

Chris Cargo 'Resistance' Album

Premiere: Chris Cargo - Kundalini [If You Wait]

Death On The Balcony makes their debut for Sudbeat with double A-side, 'Close Beside Me' and 'Every Moment'. 

Death On the Balcony have been making waves since their inception in 2008. Now signed to a swathe of high performing labels including Anjunadeep, Nite Grooves and All Day I Dream, their wide spectrum influences have been distilled into a soulful, melodic and personal sound that is well regarded by all. 

Opening with groovy disco vibes, 'Close Beside Me' saunters to the dance floor with the self assurance of a 20something lottery winner. Warm pads and wide sonics lift the energy and mood equally before high strings take the lead. The break is uplifting and high-spirited before the low end grunt of that disco bassline from heaven takes us ever forward. 'Every Moment' opens with airy pads and warm, ethereal feels before the bassline enters to soothe even the most savage of beasts. Orchestral swells and vocal ad libs complete the sunrise groove.

Montrealer @mitch_oliver returns to Kindisch with a pair of hypnotic house rollers.

Mitch Oliver is at the heart of the ever-evolving melodic movement. The rising star is a DJ, producer and sound engineer respected for his blend of emotive grooves on the likes of Akbal Music, Seven
Villas, When We Dip XYZ and Hoomidaas Records. He has previously released two singles on this label and now returns with his first full EP for the Berlin imprint. His deft touch in the studio and finely curated DJ sets have taken him across Canada, the US, and the Caribbean with performances at renowned events such as AIM Festival, Burning Man and SXM Festival. At home in Montreal, he runs his own Aurora events as a residency at Velvet and he was part of Guy Laliberté’s PY1 Nights.

Mitch opens up with vocalist MYRE for 'Alpine', a richly detailed track with subtle acoustic guitar licks and buttery smooth vocals. The spacious, patient groove builds with deft percussive details that heighten the alluring atmosphere of this classy late night gem.

Second track 'Mylus' is a collaboration with musician @nicfalardeau. It is another brilliantly organic track with seductive wood-block hits over frictionless deep house drums. Serene string sounds, yawning chords and soft shakers all pepper the perfect groove as you slowly but surely fall under its majestic and romantic spell.

These are two tender house tracks stuffed with heartfelt warmth.
