Raised on the best of popular and underground dance music of the 70's and 80's, Partner has created an outlet to pay homage to the finest hooks and loops from around the world, seamlessly repurposing them for the dancefloor. First up, A-Side track ‘Patu’ launches headfirst into an off-kilter Bollywood infused dancefloor curveball – punchy drums, melodic vocals and vintage instrumentation, save your weirdest shapes for this one. On the flip, ‘My People’ gives an injection of Latin Heat – triumphant, horns and an unrelenting rhythms section throw this into full carnival spirit. Just in time for the summer. Since relocating to London from Brighton, things have been taking shape for Partner Music. Last year saw a debut festival slot at Dimensions Festival, plus a handful of great support from the likes ofMount Kimbie, Dan Shake and San Proper. With some exciting releases lined up throughout 2018, it’s looking like a promising year for the budding producer. With this release High Praise continue to build their status as a label to keep an eye on, with their party series and clothing line steadily growing in popularity. More

Books returns to XVI with three outstanding jazz infused cuts, custom built for the dance and pressed to wax for our third vinyl offering. Feel It In My Bones” sees the North London based producer channeling ancient voodoo magic, crafting a smokey, vintage, heavily percussive show stopper. Accompanied by the mysterious Zodiac on vocals, whose falsetto notes (when mixed with a saxophone solo in the light of the full moon) raise a relentlessly soulful and driving floor-filler from it’s resting place deep beneath the ground. “Dana’s Groove” begins to summon spiritual visitors from dance floors throughout history for one last ghostly get down, before culminating in the soaring “Memphis” bringing the vinyl to a uplifting yet haunting close.
