Presales Week -1288

In which 3024's West Country takeover continues unabated with Addison Groove as one of 2010's most celebrated Producers fires off a pair of brand new exclusives. 'It's Got Me' drags a cornerstone of classic hip hop into the 21st century with trademark spasmodic Chicago drum acrobatics and vocal splicing working the track into a frenzy while his less acknowledged way with gauzy analogue textures never allow things to slip into the trap of dance floor bludgeon. Minutes Of Funk dials back the ferocity just enough to open up extra space for more luxurious synth washes and increasingly intricate rhythmic shifts as interlocking traces of dance floor past combine to form the thinking mans set opener.

300 Copies, Vinyl Only, Authentic, Raw, Underground. The second offering from LAAK on their Austere imprint is another defined four tracker. “Back of Beyond” kicks things off, a sincere heads down jam combining Latin percussion elements with a killer bass line and warm chords. The second track, “Don’t Ever Leave” is a heartfelt lament on the feeling of loss, slowing the tempo down, this one’s deep! On the flip, “Cosmic Causeway” offers something a little different although keeping with the warm pads, this time the use of a spaced out trumpet keeps things flowing. The remaining track “Cantankerous Emotions” is a little different as regards to the beats, but loses none of the soul and profoundness of the other tracks. Only for the underground soldiers!

At last ! The final instalment of the prestigious remix series from Regis and Ruskin's Post-Traumatic Son project. This limited first edition comes housed in an extra-special printed card sleeve with an extended spine giving enough room to fit all four 12"s from the series (bp030/30.1/30.2/30.3). This time round Berlin's Dettmann throws in three superb takes on the original - office highlight has to be B2's scratch-fest with MDR's menacing vox and flying high-hats building the floor tension.

Walter Merlin Jones is a perfectionist. A presence in the house scene since the late ‘80s, the DJ and producer has, over the years, created thousands of undoubtedly wonderful, but unfinished, songs – a staggering collection of musical bits that have fallen victim to his tendency to be his own worst critic. Yet, that same perfectionism has yielded some of the most engaging dance music of the last decade, however scant – songs that are aural proof of his preference for quality over quantity. Jones’s first DFA release, 2009’s “I’ll Keep On Loving You/Living Without Your Love,” confirmed his commitment to this idea with subtle grace and slow, seductive rhythms. Now, with Graceful Exit – which pairs Jones’s talents with singer Ellipsis, Boston producer Chas Bronz and saxophonist Jesse Allen — the New Orleans-raised artist continues to showcase his discerning ear, proffering music with a modern, evolved take on disco’s very best virtues.

Hot Chip’s new take on the single mystifies the original with deeply cut grooves, squelching bass and Taylor’s heartbreaking, trilling vocals, pushed to lonesome front and center. The whole procession builds to a climax of chiming keys, striking percussion and synth melodies that corkscrew firmly into your head. The UK’s Unabombers – the DJ duo of Luke Cowdrey and Justin Crawford – take a cosmic approach, laying down synths that stretch toward infinity and holding off on vocals till near the song’s midpoint. The dub remix gains traction and energy in its latter stages, with a heady mix of piercing synth squeals and Taylor’s vocalizations set on repeat, like a mantra urging party goers to the dancefloor.

It’s now hard to imagine a summer that won’t be sound tracked by Hot Natured’s sleazy Intergalactic funk and distinct bassline brilliance so it’s lucky the boys are back with ‘Forward Motion’ – their first release for own imprint Hot Creations and dancefloor gold in the purest sense. Disco delinquent Ali Love provides lead vocals.

After last year’s highly sought after collaboration between Coyote and Nesreen Shah that resulted in the dreamy “Moving” on International Feel, Coyote are back for another summer record for 2011 with their equally beautiful ‘Always’ on Needwant. Teaming up again with songstress Nesreen Shah on Always, Coyote have created a hypnotic groove from the outset; a ghostly vocal over a driving slow tempo bassline that keeps you hooked throughout. The results are a sublime piece of haunting dance music laid somewhere between electronica and balearica that manages to trap you in a haze of echoes and drums, perfect for the encroaching long summer days. Neville Watson, here flying solo on this remix, rather than his celebrated partnership with fellow lover of all things 808 – Kink. Neville subtly works the groove of Always, edging up the tempo, adding his trademark old school sound and keeping the full vocal intact. On the House Dub he ups the jack factor and lets the bassline and drums create the raw dancefloor punch to complete what is a great EP for Needwant

The opening track from the debut Simon Baker album was always going to be a strong choice to be the first single. No Pressure has received unanimous praise since the albums release and is back with new remixes by Art Department and Simon himself. It’s rare to get great stand out vocal tracks that don’t split opinion, but this seems to be one of them. It’s slick, deep house of the highest calibre with a stand out hooky vocal from Debukas. Art Department, owners of RA’s number one track of 2010 drop a superb remix, adding new vocals and teasing Debukas back into the mix for a pretty special, hypnotic workout. Simon’s ‘Upstate Dub’ mix finishes things off. It aims things directly at the dancefloor in his signature, deep and twisting style.

*The Revenge has quickly reached dizzying heights in recent years, conquering a style that escapes labeling and crowned the king of the edit. With 'Reekin'Structions' he finally delivers his debut album for Z Records.
*His engineer experience has been turned to material for Mark E, Jisco, Under The Shade and Fine Art Recordings. His other collaborative projects include Deportivo Street Team, OOFT!, Cronk Family Enterprises, The Hong Kong Micros and 6th Borough Project, who he will also release an album with this summer. Now harbouring production skills for over 15 years, Graeme continues to put his fingers to work on a variety of projects in the studio.
*Recent material has found its way onto seminal labels such as DFA, Buzzin' Fly, Domino, Pokerflat, MCDE and Dessous. Through these and regular touring to all far flung reaches of the globe, his audience continues to grow at lightning speed.
*Featuring ten reconstructed productions, 'Reekin'Structions' glistens with a silvery sheen and masters a standout soundtrack to satisfy all manner of music lovers. Bubbling with sultry soulful vocals, brass funk solos and inspired dancefloor moments, The Revenge illustrates his talent for reinvention and reaffirms why he has become a spearhead for a new musical trend in this debut album.
*This supple and tactile collection of tracks approach sounds of the past and create new inspiration for the future. Fashioning classics from Mid-Air in the style of Metro Area, adding pace and glamour to The Joneses 'Summer Groove' and setting Velvet Hammer in a luminous filtered-disco ball of light, The Revenge showcases a deep passion and understanding for music in 'Reekin'Structions' and constructs an imaginative breathing body of work that is sure to find favour where it lands.
*The Revenge has led the path and become king of the re-edit, trailblazing a movement towards reinventing music that hit over the past two years. As dance music became of age and embarked into its twenties, producers began to become nostalgic for sounds of the past and every style of music was revisited for inspiration for current dancefloors. The Revenge shaped this inclination, finding fans from every musical persuasion and producing some of the best loved records of the decade.
*Embracing pure disco heads, funk fanatics, soul worshipers and all contemporary electronic music lovers, 'Reekin'Structions' marks the rise of The Revenge as one of the pioneers of a generation, rediscovering classic moments from decades gone and refreshing them through his individual interpretation.
