Madrid-based Discotizer @javi-frias has decided to start his own imprint, Nightshift Records, and has taken the helm for its first release. The newly minted label will focus largely on disco leaning grooves in the form of edits and housey jammers, which should come as no surprise familiar with Javi's previous work on the likes of Street Edits, Giant Cuts, Midnight Riot and Wall of Fame. The inaugural EP in particular reflects Javi's affinity for savory, uptempo disco joints.

Make It Happen debuts with its title track in the A1 slot, which also happens to be our premiere. It's a blaxploitation-oozing soul cut fitted with club-ready breakbeat drums and catchy hooks.  The soulful vocals beautifully top the funky rhythm section with delight in this perfectly mixable arrangement. It's a nice little party starter that bodes to be super useful for shifting into peak time. The track also carries a nice, organic feel to it; unsurprising considering Javi's chops as a drummer. Meanwhile, on the "Power" bumps the energy up a little bit for a funky gospel affair, big chorus and all.

On the outer groove of the B-side comes "Gonna Feel So Good". The cut starts off with a looping brass and guitar sample, which unleashes in full once the kick comes in. It's a fantastic main lick, with perfectly chopped vocals that don't suffer from the repetitiveness that sometimes plagues disco reworks of this variety. It's a track made for peaktime, fitting nicely into Javi's preferred uptempo range, and flowing nicely between looser, jammier sections and extremely tight loop-oriented parts of the arrangement. Finally, the record closes out with "Hard Edge & Paint", which returns to disco soul territory, providing an uptempo affair laced with glorious horns and meditated vocal snips.

If uptempo disco weapons are of interest to you, be sure to keep your eyes out for Make It Happen. The record is set to drop on wax on March 24th.

PREMIERE : Javi Frias - Make It Happen

Madrid producer @javi-frias have been featured extensively here on Discobelle and he's now gearing up for his new disco masterpiece of a release "Make It Happen". 

The EP is released via his own label Night Shift Records on March 16th and we managed to pull in the premiere of the track "Gonna Feel So Good" which makes us long for warm and sunkissed days where we can strut around to this funked up and soulful jam.

Whenever my musically-inclined mates and I chat about dance music, there's a question that rears its head time and time again, 'why on earth isn't there enough modern day disco being made?!' Meet a man whose directly challenging that train of thought, Javi Frias (@javi-frias).  Hailing from Madrid, Javi lives and breaths boogie. Running his very own NightShift Records by day and permeating dance floors in the eve, I speculate this Spaniard leads one very busy and delightful life.
After listening through this fellows catalogue, I'd love to get myself down to the Marula Café in his hometown. Every Friday night Frias runs the DISCOTIZER club night, hosting the likes of Red Greg, Dan Shake and Medlar. After his previous 7'' went number 1 in online sales at Juno Records, Javi's back in business with his 'Move To The Groove' EP, the second press to wear his very own NightShift owl logo. Stoking the fire from the get go comes 'Tender Feeling', a smashing loop of guitar and hi-hats take hold early, quickly joined by a crooning vocal sample and an almost Bee Gees-esque cry. A deliberate attention seeker and for my mind the pick of the crop (so be sure to chase it down).

The tune we have the pleasure of premiering is A2 - 'Move to the Groove'. A major feature of Frias' work is funked out electric guitar and on this number it's in full flight. After sliding in a very catchy phrase 'Dance, get down...feel the groove!' we're already well on our way to dance delirium. This is the sort of audio I'd imagine getting rinsed at a wedding reception when all attendees are well on their way to a stinking hangover.

Turning to the B side, we have 'Supah Stah', a record any DJ with decent taste would drop the needle on as their set's coming to a close. This one's probably the most soulful on the EP, full of gospel vocal snippets and groovy ad-libs. Listen closely to 'Supah Stah' as it preaches a beautiful message - simply be yourself and don't let anyone else tell you any different because we're all superstars in our own right! And damn, that's definitely worth celebrating!

The curtain closer, 'Swahili Dance' (as the name suggests) is an African enthused bongo party. Being an entirely instrumental piece, Javi has certainly thought this one through, producing a kaleidoscope of trumpets, whistles and twanged out bass notes. As a native of Madrid, it's always great to hear a European working together a track that sounds authentically tribal in nature. If any African nation happened to clinch the World Cup, this would be a fitting anthem for the after-party.

After listening through 'Move to the Groove' EP it's pretty hard to argue against the fact that disco is the most joyous genre on earth. So get happy with Javi!
