Continuing to fly the flag for worldwide soulful dance-floor sounds, Jitwam’s globe-hopping label The Jazz Diaries unveil their latest signing, Detroit-based veteran producer Brian 'Javonntte' Garrett. Supplying body moving frequencies since the late nineties, Javonntte began playing piano at age 15 and honed his craft on tour with Aretha Franklin. A collaborator of Amp Fiddler and Luke Solomon, he has previously released on labels such as Eglo Records, Lumberjacks In Hell, Traxx Underground, Defected and Waella’s Choice. His debut on The Jazz Diaries see’s Garrett turn in five hazy, funk-drenched, party-moving jams. From the crunchy midi fanfare of the record’s opener “Reggietune”, through to the blissed-out sweeping synths of “Outerbound”, the EP packs a punch, keeping it’s rock solid, groove-laden sensibilities throughout. Javonntte even throws in a jacked up, Detroit-style reinterpretation of Christopher Cross’s classic track “Ride Link The Wind” (the EP’s first single, due for release April 9th). Trust, this one won’t leave your record bag. More

Waella’s Choice return with their fifth release, made in Detroit, remixed in Melbourne and London.
Adding to a growing stable of leading house artists who have already released on the London label, Detroit singer, producer (and dancer) Javonntte presents Drumma EP, traversing the deep and soulful spectrum with two original productions.
The title track has the same instant magnetism as Hanna’s ‘Stranger’, which helped inaugurate Waella’s Choice in 2017. ‘Jazzpianodance’ takes a more broken approach, incorporating Javonntte’s love for jazz fusion. Something that would have felt right at home in the old Co-Op dances at plastic people.
The B-side presents remixes from two young producers with a bright future. Melbourne-raised and now London-based, Crown Ruler member Winters follows up his 2018 debut for Parallel People with a low-slung RnB version. Touching Bass family Romaal Kultan ups the tempo with a weightier sucker-punch of breaks and broken percussion, primed for peak time impact.

Burek family welcomes Detroit house don Javonntte into their circle with four infectious house bangers spread across the whole spectrum of the genre. This record has something for each part of the night, from the easy mood setting vibes to soulful bangers and straight up jacking peak time tracks that will make you sweat.
Tomorrow’, the opening cut, is the best example of the latter and the track’s vocal sample “strictly underground” is well earned. This pure head-bang house track will give you a run for your money. A side is concluded with ‘Journey’, a proper soulful house track which keeps all of its energy in spite of a slightly more subtle approach.
‘No One Like You’ is the first one on the flip and is a prime example of just how much soul and depth can a house banger have and Javonntte excels here both as a producer and a vocalist. Closing track ‘Enter The Disco’ is a slower, disco-sampled jam, perfect for that in-between time in the club when the action’s about to happen.

From his HOME studio in Detroit, Javonntte gives another nice emotion. As well as having collaborated with amazing musicians like Trinidadian Deep, Brawther, Patrick Gibin, Mark De Clive-Love, Nikki O, Andres, Amp Fiddler and many others ...

This new release made by Le Disque Records label from Verona, has the intent to get excited the dancefloor all around the world and the hearts of Soulful House lovers. Don't miss it !!

Following up on the success of Patrice Scott's Orbital Bliss EP, Sistrum moves further into the exploration of modern electronic music with the 2nd installment of the Aphotic Segments series. As always, quality is the key and deep vibes are the order of the day. Track A1 - Chris Mitchell "Brisk City"
Chris Mitchell, known for his releases on Plan B and Vanguard Sound, opens the EP with a driving, minimal builder. Constructed around a bubbly, acid bass line, "Brisk City" grows and tactfully morphs its way into your psyche with lovely layers of synths and rhythms. Let it breathe on a large sound system for maximum effect. Track A2 - Tony Ollivierra "Prophetic Light" Mr. Ollivierra, formerly known as Ibex (of Planet E and Rush Hour fame), is warmly welcomed to Sistrum for this project and "Prophetic Light" lives up to everything we had hoped to hear from him. Crisp, punchy, masterfully produced and DEEP. This cut is filled to the brim with textures and tones that convey a classic yet modern feel -sounding right at home on Sistrum. Tony does it again, people.
Track B1 - Patrice Scott "M.F.D.T" Patrice Scott commandeers the B-side with "M.F.D.T" -and for good reason -this tune needs a full-side vinyl cut to transmit the hefty, growling bass line on display. Listeners are further treated to an intergalactic journey of swirling soundscapes and mind-tingling synth pulsations. Close your eyes and soak this one up -be it in your headphones or on a dark, late night dance floor. More
