We Play House with their limited series. A new artist from Japan called Humandrone a.k.a. Takaaki Shibuya, with his twist on jackin’ Chicago rhythms. A twist deeply melancholic, almost Detroit like, showing us that Chicago music can be both jackin and musical at the same time.
Hour House is Your Rush is releasing an EP from Chicagoian Ricardo Miranda. ‘Floorwax’ urges us to do the damn thing, assuming that he leaves us no choice but to slam dance to this hypnotic acid work out. ‘Redline’ starts out with just drums and a pulsating acid line, but halfway through a utopian string line eases in and shows us the way to the promised land.
“It’s been a while since the last podcast saw the light of day, so we would like to make it up to you, our fans and supporters with the first session that comes from Mick Wills, who has been with Nation for quite a while now, and even though he didn’t have the chance to shine with his productions yet, his Jock-Abilities are just as admirable.
This Session was recorded at Champagneria Berlin, in the heart of Kreuzberg, while Mick visited some friends of ours from a far away and haunted place, and they decided to throw a little shindig.
“Master of the Edit” Mick Wills dives deep into his record-box and fuses together a unique pastry of older and newer records, higher and lower, darker and lighter, Alpha and Omega!”
ProForm Series brings a new raw jackin’ Chicago style 12”. Wwritten, produced & performed live by Matti Turunen (the other half of electro duo Morphology) this four tracker named “Chi Trax” is pure Chicago madness.
In 1988, Charles B & legendary house music producer Adonis dropped this track that made a huge impression on the world of dance. Over 20 years have passed & we now get a special reissue with an unreleased “ext re-play” mix plus an unreleased remix of “Reck the Joint” by Steve Poindexter.
Remix package of Suspect… not sure who the artists is, but the title suggest it’s another Tevo Howard project?! Retro Chicago tracks with analogue drums and synths.
This marks the label’s 50th vinyl release! Here Japan’s Takeshi Kouzuki showcases more of his classic Chicago influenced style while keeping his sound fresh for today.
Debut release from Joe Drive on Mathematics, with a splendid EP of intelligent house and techno. “Vanguard” opens with an atmospheric groove followed by “Azimuth” & the deep acid cut “Towards the light”. “The Uranus effect” starts the flip before “A zenith criteria” & ends with the bangin “RD-2452” .
Dragobete is a traditional Romanian holiday, celebrated on February 24 and is considered the Romanian equivalent of Valentine’s Day, a day for lovers. The day is known as “the day when the birds are betrothed”. It is around this time that the birds begin to build their nests and mate. On this day, considered locally the first day of spring, boys and girls gather vernal flowers and sing together. Maidens used to collect the snow that still lies on the ground in many villages and then melt it, using the water in magic potions throughout the rest of the year. Those who take part in Dragobete customs are supposed to be protected from illness, especially fevers, for the rest of the year. If the weather allows, girls and boys pick snowdrops or other early spring plants for the person they are courting.
We celebrate spring with this lovely mix from our beloved Das Komitee and wish you a year full of love and may the good music find you.
