Jules & Moss | Gil’s Big Packet | Fantastic Friends Recordings

Listen

 

Jules & Moss present 3 tracks of what they can do best: toxic groove, dynamic drums and sensual voices.« Gils Big Packet» is a shorn track, an anthem to wet dreams, sprinkled of hushed up growls and sugestive sighs. The keyboard dialogs with the over-testosteronized voice, itself supported by an insanely groovy bassline.« Geecker feat Laurette » and its sensual lady voice, is the equivalent of « Gil Big », but a feminin one : fragile and tender, in higher frequencies, a bit more hussy, a little less salacious but as much exciting. An invitation to debauchery in lace.In « Wagon Later » the groove is more intense, the voices more ethereal, more weird and kind of far away like real sirens supplications you can’t resist. A track that will let turn dancefloors mad and get the temperature increased of a few degrees. Mihai Popoviciu’s remix is one atmospheric and powerful track, that will even let dance the lazziest asses in the clubs as its groove is hypnotic as hell. The Cheapers remix, lead by a sexy round bassline and vocals à la Alan Vegas, is an excellent one either. Delicate and sensual. Until the very end.

Lawrence | Films & Windows Remixed | Dial

 

Listen

 

 

XDB, Steven Tang, and Carsten Jost & DJ Richard rework the poised deep house of Lawrence’s ‘Films & Windows’ album. ‘Angels at Night’ is reframed in contrasting perspectives; XDB reworks it with gritty shuffle and lovely mystic house vibes building to a stepping finale, and Steven Tang tempers it to a ghostly, driving sound somewhere between Jamal Moss and Convextion. Lawrence’s Dial Records co-founder, Carsten Jost and White Material’s DJ Richard give ‘Marlen’ a rolling, sub-aquatic techno-house revision.

 

Black Loops | Rollin’ EP | Toy Tonics

Listen

 

 

If Loco Dice, Art Department, Audiojack, Damian Lazarus, Solomun, Florian Meindl and many other top league DJs freak out about your first release – you can be sure this artist has a good start into the scene. BLACK LOOPs’ first EP on Toy Tonics had such a feedback. And so the label urged the guys to come up with a second EP asap. Here it is. And it will blow you away. The two Italian born, Berlin living kids don’t joke. Heavy bass driven, extremly funky hard house tracks to get the hands in the air. No wonder the boys are so funky: One of the guys is a rock drummer and the second a funk skilled DJ who have been djing all over Italy for the last 4 years. Now they come up with this great 2nd single. Including a heavy remix by S.K.A.M.

Chymera & Naum Gabo | Speicher 76 | Kompakt Extra

Listen

 

Starting out in 2001 to tie up some loose ends from our regulars, SPEICHER has since become a guarantee for vanguard dance sounds from all over the planet, allowing KOMPAKT to invite and support electronic artists that comfortably inhabit both the delicate and the more deliberate ends of the electronic music spectrum. For SPEICHER 76, two Irish acts crank up the volume for a healthy dose of sweaty, delirious techno – both acclaimed tracksmith CHYMERA and renowned Speicher favorite NAUM GABO hail from the green island… as is reflected in the color choice of this latest instalment in the series.

Brendan Gregoriy aka CHYMERA causes havoc in the scene since the mid-noughties, having honed a very personal, highly expressive approach to techno’s prime time tropes. UNDER THE SLIP is no different, stacking up abrasive synths and arse-kicking percussion for a pulse-accelerating rollercoaster ride through the night. It’s at the track’s middle mark, however, when a particularly funky bassline shines a different light on the dance floor, elevating the track to whole new level.

NAUM GABO’s Jonnie “JG” Wilkes might be best known for his part in the OPTIMO roadshow, but to Speicher enthusiasts, he’s a well-established acquaintance responsible for several bangers from the early period of the series. Now, he returns with ENOUGH LEAD TO MAKE ME HEAVY, a psychotic, iridescent techno workout drilling its way into the listener’s frontal lobe – and doing so with gusto: it’s an aptly named flipside whose focus vibes with the more muscular dance floors. Together, these tracks make for a perfectly tailored Speicher release catering to all your stomping needs.

Arttu | UFO Funkin’ / Passing Out Privileges | Clone Royal Oak

Listen

 

 

 

Arttu is back with two tight tracks in his trademark raw jacking house sound. Chicago rooted house music drenched in a heavy dose of interstellar boogie. A-side is the shuffling bassline driven UFO-funkin’ that goes all crazy. AA side is Arttu featuring Detroit’s Jerry The Cat. Both tracks comes in vocal and instrumental version. Instrumentals take things back to the bare essential and are total basement workouts. Arttu did it again!
