Finale Sessions is excited to have another Parisian on our superb roster and Janeret is not one to sleep on that’s for sure . So we are getting right to the music with the first track “Midnight Soul” One of my favorites for sure with its beautiful keys and its rich pads and it’s enormous bass this track is a latenight beater for sure. Track two”Contrast”is more on the techier side of things with more pads and a think basline no question a floor pumper it also has really nice drums to flavor that nice vocal. Track three ” Subdub ” This track is more for the dub Techno crowd for sure with its super deep chords and its deep sub ambiance sound Track four ” Ehtereal ” Electro Madness is I am going to say.

Ewan Jansen – Country Music EP [IBL002]

April 10, 2016October 30, 2019 hipodromedeep house, ewan jansen, inner balanceLeave a comment

Last year, Chez Damier launched a new imprint, Inner Balance, which debuted with a slightly overlooked EP of deep house from Jorge Caiado. For the label’s second release, he’s turned to veteran producer Ewan Jansen. Opener “Harvest” is an undeniably floor-friendly affair, with snappy, drum machine handclaps, classic techno bass, swinging percussion hits, wild electronics and woozy chords combining to great effect. “Sines Of Life” is deeper and creepier, while “Square Dance” sits somewhere between bubbling electro, Damier style deep house, and far-sighted Motor City techno.

March 28, 2016November 3, 2022 hipodromeanthony collins, deep house, francis harris, frank & tony, scissor & threadLeave a comment

The handsome twosome of Frankie Skates and Tony B. Real deliver four prime cuts aimed squarely at the dance floor. “Ebreo”, sees the duo flex their afro-rhythmic muscle, placing silky smooth bass over a bed of soft swirling percussion highlighted by a pitched down steel drum. Next, an edit first heard on Frank & Tony’s acclaimed Resident Advisor podcast comes to light. Deftly cutting the hushed ambient tones of Donato Wharton’s Absentia’ into perfect portions, Frank & Tony loop brittle bits over a chunky kick and shuffling hi-hat to hypnotic effect. The EP’s title track evokes the sun-kissed euphoria of early hour raves with its lush atmospherics and playfully subdued piano line buoyed by a thick kick and airy pads. Finally Pavane’ takes the previous track’s laid back attitude and flips it, adding a thick in-your-face kick and propulsive pads for a foot-stomping, hands in the affair DJ weapon.

Solarism is the result of a common fascination for landscapes and a passion for contemplation. For the second release Solarism welcomes Franck Roger. On A1 Franck brings a real fusion of Cosmics and classic Deep House vibes, remembering his first love with electronic music but definitely oriented to his nowaday modern vision of sounds. The melodic groove of the calimbas percussions drives you till the heart of the track and his swinging drum, to never let you go and brings you up in a neverending hypnotic mind dance. On B1, Arno E. Mathieu version push the hypnotic vibe of “Tiger in The Hood” using the original arpegiator theme, and brings the track to a deep techno level for a textured and anthemic experience. Ponctuated by a strings hit appearence and supported by a non stop heavy bass-line, the track progression brings us till a melodic synth conclusion true to Arno fusionned style…

CARSON, Leron - Lemonlime

New 12″ from Leron Carson for Theo’s label. “Lemonline” is a deliciously breezy concoction, with Carson’s jazzy piano riffs working in perfect unison with bouncy, Latin-influenced drum rhythms. Flipside “Sofnthik”, on the other hand, sounds like a previously unheard 1980s Chicago deep house concoction, with warm, loved-up chords swirling around a clattering drum machine groove.

One half of Genius Of Time, Alexander Berg makes his debut on Hivern as Dorisburg. Irrbloss features nearly an hour of Dorisburg new music. Eight cuts in which Berg unleashes several incarnations of his sound and delves into his most melodic and mystical facet. Tracks such as Irrbloss and Votiv exude a highly spiritual feeling, connecting the majesty of archaic folk music with state of the art electronic production. Gloson and Gripen, in contrast, are much more dancefloor oriented eorts, showing Berg’s most cerebral and somber side. Kassiopeia and Cirkla are two slices of sinuous cosmic techno that demonstrate once again Berg’s ability to blend evocative landscapes with club eciency. Finally, Insvept and Sagofabrik conde a more meditative and adventurous approach. In other words: a gripping journey with a kind of inspirational energy not easily found in today’s dance music.

February 29, 2016April 19, 2023 hipodromedeep house, detroit house, marcellus pittman, unirhythm recordsLeave a comment

Amid whispers of a new album from Unirhythm boss and Three Chairs stalwart Marcellus Pittman, two tracks from his excellent debut LP Pieces finally get committed to wax. It’s a shame Pieces never got a vinyl release, but the chance to grip “Sneak Attack” and “Random Acts Of Insanity” on 12″ should not be passed up. This 12″ was actually released in ‘blink and you’ll miss it’ white label format in 2014, but finally gets a proper issue! For those that don’t have the LP, “Sneak Attack” is a curious concoction, with Syclops style electronics occasionally flowering over deep, dusty, intricately programmed rhythms. “Random Acts Of Insanity” feels a little bolder in approach, though its’ rich chords and odd, off-kilter rhythm track are contrasted with some notably bonkers electronic touches.

Love Notes from Brooklyn is proud to present a brand new and promising young American artist in the form of tape_hiss. These three moody and emotive tracks fit in perfectly with the label sound Love Notes has been developing over their last few release. The Panic in Needle Park, the clear standout track, begins the EP with gloomy synth washes at a chugging, pitched down speed. That track is then ably reworked by fellow Brooklynite, Willie Burns, of LIES and WT Records, who breaks the beat up for a stunted and unique reinterpretation. On the flip, Love is a Dog From Hell brings a little acid to the proceedings, and Traces to Nowhere closes it out on consitantly dark and moody note.

MR G presents JAYSON WYNTERS - Unfamiliar Territories EP

The G man found himself a protege. After the odd 50+ solo releases offered through his Phoenix G imprint Mr.G has found himself a young producer that has a style that connects with the Phoenix G output thus far. Mysterious Jayson Wynters offers a 4 track record that is hazy, technoid and threads into deep territories every now and then. ‘Unfamiliar Territories EP’ opens with the deep down perc jam named ‘Momentum’ a moody dubbish track that sets the tone for things to come. The title track offers a more emotive ride that’s being supported by tough saw basses and windy pads that float throughout. The B side openen Science is a tough house cut that is reminiscent of the glory days of US deephouse and sounds as a solid classic rather than a new cut. The closing down bit ‘1 more’ is the same story. Firmly produced drum patterns with classic bass sounds and hazy pads.
