Cuthead – Resteessen [UV019+] FREE ALBUM
“When we selected music for Cuthead’s Everlasting Sunday LP we had to leave out several great tracks due to the limited space on the record. So Cuthead decided to give it away for free as digital only album via our bandcamp site. Enjoy!”
Rick Wade – Hustler’s Lullaby [USJS002]
2nd release from the Unknown Season label comes from Detroit’s Rick wade, delivering three warm tracks with strong jazzfunk leanings.
Moniker – Billy D [CCS083]
The machines definitely rule the roost in the world of Moniker aka Kenneth Scott & Emilio Orlandi, but unlike so much of the current obsession with analogue noise and the lo-fi aesthetic, Scott and Orlandi instead coax heartfelt emotion and hand-crafted grooves from an array of beat boxes and synthesisers without making any self-conscious moves to demonstrate how ʻun- digitalʼ they are. Instead, the music takes priority, coming forth in soothing waves of harmonious chords, captivating leads and understated drums that speak…
Miltiades – Stmete EP [EVR013]
Following his debut on the Greek label Nous, Athens based producer Miltiades resurfaces on the also Greek imprint Echovolt with a new four-track EP, deep and shadowy house affair that likes to go slow and purposeful. Comes with a remix from GB aka Gifted & Blessed under his lesser used alias The Reflektor. This is deep, immediately aged house music that takes you deep down underground and allows you to wallow in its beautifully warm open spaces.
Phil Asher – Need In Me / Madnite [MAMSW005]
Alton Miller Feat. Bantu Soul – Ngizo Ku Linda [MG053]
Recorded in South Africa and featuring on vocals South Africa’s legendary artist/ producer Bantu Soul. Ngizo Ku Linda sees Alton fusing elements of afro house, jazz, funk and his signature Detroit sound with a serious groove and lush but yet wanting vocals of Bantu Soul. The release also includes a remix from Chicago’s Abicah Soul.
Monty Luke – Lonely Is The Night (Fingers Remixes) [BC008_808]
Osunlade – Human Beings [YSD060]
Yoruba serve up the second single taken from Osunlade’s album “A Man With No Past Originating The Future”. Classic co-founder Luke Solomon gets things started with a sizzling tech house make over of Osunlade’s deep gem. On the A2, the master of all things deep, jazzy and experimental Isolee delivers a stunning rework. On the flip, the third remix offering comes from long time Yoruba associate and musical brother Atjazz. With his signature sound he brings undeniable soul to the bunch while keeping the song’s integrity in tact. Our journey is completed by Yoruba’s own Rafael Moraes, one third of Nomumbah. Deep is the word for this one.
Route 8 / Dorylus – Living In A Village [BK006]
Two 707-led live jams recorded straight to cassette from Route 8. A fitting B side from Dorylus, also using a 707, this time coupled with a broken Korg Delta with only a few keys working.
Traumprinz – Mothercave [GLGLP003]
… In a soft night of confusion the ape was born into his lion mother’s lair. As he grew older, he danced in countless circles around his father’s fallen empire. Spent by fires of ecstasy, the departed reptile king appeared in his sleep and told one love will show you how to fly, and he sang forget the world, ’cause no man will ever wake up from that insubstantial world of cycles…
Massiande – Heart Rushed Love EP [HOUSEWAX012]
CCO & Echo 106 live @ Kraftfeld Club (Winterthur, Switzerland) 16.11.2013
Jonsson & Alter – 2 [KM032]
Having commenced 2013 with one long player in Andreas Tilliander’s TM404 project, Kontra Music signs off for the year with the second album from label regulars Jonsson & Alter. It’s a fine way to bookend another impressive calendar year for the Malmo-based label who have slipped out a bunch of killer twelves in-between as well as found the SKUM label with compatriots Skudge. The inspiration behind Henrik Jonsson and Joel Alter’s nonchalantly titled second album 2 apparently derives from the time Jonsson & Alter spent performing the previous album live and wanting to incorporate “heavier beats”. The result is a nine-track album that sees Jonsson & Alter produce a refined and matured follow up to their debut, while managing to maintain a raw and housey aesthetic.
Marcello Napoletano – Rush EP [WEN003]
Marcello Napoletano is back on What Ever Not with a fresh ep including four raw house tracks.
Marc Cotterell – Set Me Free [PPD003]
Late Night Underground House Music. Label owner Marc Cotterell delivers two tracks of deep soulful late night groovers. Side A holds the vocal of Claudia while laying down deep chords and baseline. Side B goes more floor friendly with club beats and flowing late night keys thanks to David Powers.
Santiago Santamaria – Thin Lines EP [PPD002]
Deep late night, educated house music by Santiago Santamaria on Plastik People label. The release includes a remix by label owner Marc Cotterell.
Julius Steinhoff – You Collect Secrets [PLAYRJC027]
Three tracks that nicely bend the rules of deep house and push bass lines into the abyss. A leading member of Hamburg’s Smallville Records and one half of the critically-acclaimed and party-proof Smallpeople, Steinhoff delivers three tracks that nicely bend the rules of deep house, meander the maze of trance-hypnotism, cold-forge metallic drums and push bass lines into the abyss. A record that owes as much to Larry Heard’s way of thinking, as it does to white rooms and probably subconsciously to James Holden’s art of playing records. Built for eternity.
Ron Trent – Humans Drums & Machines [EB002]
Ron Trent is back! After his outstanding Album “Raw Footage”, we are happy to present you Electic Blue part 2! New album “Human Beeings, Drums & Machines”
