Swayzak - Make up your mind

For Phonica’s landmark 20th release on the main label we go back to a classic from the same year the shop opened; Stereofuse’s ‘Casino EP’, originally released on Berlin label Salo in 2003.

The ‘Casino EP’ marked the first collaboration between Martin Wörner & Thorsten Diegel as Stereofuse. They followed it up with a string of other 12”s for other labels but it’s this initial 12” that has been fetching high prices second-hand as one of the most sought after releases on Salo and for very good reason. A timeless EP sitting somewhere between house and techno (before tech-house became a disputed tag-line!) with the likes of Ricardo Villalobos & Craig Richards playing it regularly in their sets.

The EP kicks off with ‘Black Jack’, a pacey track which gets stuck in a serious groove. Skittering percussion, short looping samples and a breakbeat-feel in parts. A real tension builder and was a staple in the sets of Daniel Bell for many years. It is followed by ‘Hot Slot’, a techy dancefloor stomper led by a bouncing bassline and some intricate rhythmic patterns. The sweeping sound effects on this are bound to do some damage on a big system!

On the flip is the other killer track on the EP -  ‘Royal Flash’ is an understated and hypnotic minimal gem. The percussion and synth stabs give this track a sense of continuous forward motion whilst the long, soothing pads keep it firmly planted in the ground. ‘Pokerface’ closes the EP with expansive, luscious pads and circling delay, gently underpinned by a deep bassline.

While Thorsten and Martin eventually went their separate ways to work on their own individual projects, with renewed interest in the Stereofuse project this timely reissue could well mark a starting point for future collaborations. This record is also the first in a series of EPs released to commemorate 15 years of the Phonica Records shop in Soho, London.

Last Friday I had the pleasure to warm up the dance floor for Julian Perez at Veo Veo in la Zona Colonial. 

This set is all about up and downs with mixed feelings and atmospheric beats.

Special thanks to "Mr. Medos" for recording this 2 hr mixtape.

Enjoy.

SlapFunk Records strikes again with a solo EP by none other than Huerta. While having released a wide variety of music with a strong own identity, it’s fair to say that he fully incorporated the SlapFunk vision on this one. Even though all 5 tracks have a different character, they all share the same energetic beats specially designed for the dancefloor. This reflection is clearly the core of the artwork made by Firpo a.k.a. Freshcore. On the other hand, the graphic design by Studio Airport truly does justice to the the work of both Huerta and Firpo it deserves. Huerta his strong musical and intelligent identity, makes him one to keep an eye on closely.

Jeremy Olander returns to the helm next Friday, December 11, with a momentous three track crooner, dishing out several of the Swedish DJ's most anticipated and sought after 2020 productions through the release of his new Rubicks EP

Heard in full-length and quality for the first time on Dancing Astronaut, the EP's title track delivers the sophisticated and nuanced club flare that fans have come to expect from Olander and his signature label, Vivrant Records. "Rubicks" puts Olander's melodic prowess is on full display, however the real star of the show are the melancholic synths that ebb, flow, and jive their way through the tune's progressive inspired drops. The result isn't necessarily a peak hour, hands in the air face-melter, but a refreshingly contemplative and intricate house tune that reveals just a bit more of itself with each and every listen.

Those who have followed Jeremy Olander's ironclad mixes through lockdown may recognize "Rubicks" as the adorned "Berns ID 02," a production that's caught the attention of aficionados since at least March of this year. The remainder of the release, available December 11, features equally revered IDs in "Summit" and "The Mist" (previously regarded as "Balance Tour ID" and "Whiskey Jar ID," respectively).

Premiere: Jeremy Olander - Rubicks (Original Mix)
